Description
This is the inaugural episode of "Watch Something Else", in which we discuss movies that actually kick ass and recommend that you watch them.
This week (Bi-week? Fortnight?) Nicole and Stu take a partial look at the career of Paul Verhoeven, noted Dutch Christ scholar and sometimes filmmaker. We examine the theological themes, the Christian analogies, and the explicit sex and ultra-violence of such films as Flesh + Blood, Robocop, Total Recall (briefly), Starship Troopers, and Nicole calls for a critical reevaluation of 2000's nearly forgotten thriller Hollow Man. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Paul Verhoeven will be back in "Mad Dutchman Returns", when (some day) we get around to discussing Showgirls and Benedetta.
