Ep. 402: By the Decade -- 1997 -- "Starship Troopers" / "Hideous!"

Dirty Sons of Pitches

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and ready to sing the praises of the cinematic year that was 1997, primarily with the subversive classic that today's modern fascists confuse as being pro-fascism, "Starship Troopers," and less so the second Full Moon Pictures selection of the 90s, "Hideous!", a movie about rich jerks who collect genetically deformed freaks who then break loose and wreck terror... or should have.

Episode 402 includes:

-Nate is perplexed by the one-half Coen Brother lesbian sex comedy "Drive-Away Dolls."

--Ben comes to "Dune Part Two" with some significant praise and some grumbling over extnesive ength.

-By the Decade -- 1997 -- "Starship Troopers" / "Hideous!"

-"Starship Troopers" is still as aweosme today as it was back then, even more ahead of its time and socially relevant in an age of rising fascism and rightwing forces, and then "Hideous!" is a low-budget creature feature with some promising ideas and a lack of imagination to do anything with them, plus some of the most gratuitous nudity for one poor woman in the cold.
