MagentaHOST
We have to impart the goss that we heard.
BernardHOST
Well, he did have a good story about Paul Verhoeven.
BernardHOST
Yes,
MagentaHOST
yes.
BernardHOST
Leave them swinging.
BernardHOST
Leave them swinging.
BernardHOST
So when Kyle was filming Showgirls, he had to do a nude walk to a swimming pool and was filled they were they were shooting him from behind and paul verhoeven apparently said no we must shoot you from the front as well and uh and
MagentaHOST
not only that but they were like and with an erection and kyle wasn't wasn't into this and so he was like are you afraid that you cannot keep it up the whole time and And Kyle was like, no, that's not the problem.
ManonGUEST
But yeah, I'm trying to think of other examples of sex scenes that Oh, yeah, there was a film that our spectators really didn't enjoy.
ManonGUEST
It's called Elle by Paul Verhoeven.
ManonGUEST
And you have Isabelle Hubert in the film.
ManonGUEST
And spectators came out of the screening room and they were yelling at me, like, how can you dare showing this to us? Like, we just had a long day of work and we just came to the film club to relax and you're showing us this.
GabrielHOST
That's true.
GabrielHOST
But that was the example on the Paul Verhoeven films.
GabrielHOST
Oh, I love Paul Verhoeven.
GabrielHOST
And Robocop was one of those that they could be like, hey, breaking news.
GabrielHOST
Or like this one, Starship Troopers, like...
GabrielHOST
That kind of vibe in the GTA TV stations and it's like
Andy SavageHOST
hilarious.
Andy SavageHOST
Can we just do a side episode one time about just Paul Verhoeven movies? Because they're my favorite.
Ruth HuskoGUEST
And do you know what's interesting about that? I don't know if we're going to get onto this later, but it was directed by the guy who directed Starship Troopers.
Josh HallamHOST
Yeah, it was directed by Paul Verhoeven, so like Robocop, Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct.
Ruth HuskoGUEST
And after he did Starship Troopers, he said, I want to make a film with less sex and violence in it, and he made Holloman.
Josh HallamHOST
Is there less sex? There's probably less violence in this, but apropos of the fact that it's not set in a war zone.
30 MINS LATER
Josh HallamHOST
A rough approximation of two people's feelings about the film, Hollow Man, and how it's not aged very well.
Josh HallamHOST
But there are, you know, there's some stuff in there to like, I think.
Josh HallamHOST
Horror fans, Kevin Bacon fans, Paul Verhoeven fans, you may well like it.
Josh HallamHOST
Give it a watch.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
I do like it.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
It's a Paul Verhoeven movie.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
The reason I don't like Hollow Man as much is that it's a Paul Verhoeven movie that is nowhere near as good as pretty much any of his other movies.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
Uh-huh.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
Like, Verhoeven, you know, Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
It's an okay movie.
Casey ExplosionGUEST
It's not...
Casey ExplosionGUEST
I don't watch a Paul Verhoeven movie to watch an okay movie, you know?
Jeannine DeBeanHOST
Yes.
Jeannine DeBeanHOST
And finally, Gray's way of walking is reminiscent of the gate of Alex Murphy, the RoboCop in Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop.
Jeannine DeBeanHOST
Alex Murphy, a policeman who is fatally wounded in the line of duty, is not implanted with a chip, but his brain, face, and other parts of his body are built into a robot.
Jeannine DeBeanHOST
So yes, I did see something that they did a kill count on this on Dead Meat.
MikeHOST
But as an interesting coincidence, Cronenberg ended up working on the film Total Recall, which was written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, the writers of Alien.
MikeHOST
At the point that film started becoming more of an action film, Cronenberg decided it wasn't for him, and he moved on to other projects, leaving Paul Verhoeven to take over directing chores.
MikeHOST
All right, so at this point, let's get into the actual analysis of Alien itself.
MattHOST
Let's start with talking about the characters.
Chris ArnesonHOST
But, you know, those movies are great.
Chris ArnesonHOST
Paul Verhoeven, director.
Chris ArnesonHOST
Casper Van Dien.
Chris ArnesonHOST
Denise Richards.
Jon RichterHOST
It's a four-part, it's on Amazon Prime at the moment if anyone wants to check it out.
Jon RichterHOST
It's a really good, fun documentary to watch, loads of behind-the-scenes shenanigans, all stuff about, you know, that bloke who gets shot to death in the boardroom, the squibs are going off and Paul Verhoeven's like, I want more blood! getting buffeted by one of his hitting the balls with a rogue squib and all this stuff but you guys did the brilliant the main theme of that show yeah tell us how that sort of came about
AdamGUEST
that's a right long winded one isn't
Jon RichterHOST
it go for it feel free to or summarise if you can't be bothered I'll
Robert Meyer BurnettGUEST
It was a big group of us that went to see it.
Robert Meyer BurnettGUEST
But I was like, don't count Paul Verhoeven out.
Robert Meyer BurnettGUEST
Cause I had seen his Dutch movies and, and, and going in and say, I mean, I'm expecting not, I'm not saying clay faces as good as RoboCop, but I'm saying I expect that the goofy titled movie.
Robert Meyer BurnettGUEST
And let's face it, looking at that character in the animated Batman series, it's not like, you know, you looked at him and said, that guy's badass.
