Starship Troopers (1997)

When it comes to your 200th movie, you can't just go with any old motion picture. You need something mid-80s with a time-traveling teen, a cool car, a wacky scientist, dangerous enemies, and an awkward romance. That's why Shat The Movies is proud to celebrate its bicentennial with everyone's favorite 1985 time machine movie: "My Science Project." The shat flies fast and furious as we talk about overused nerd tropes, a psychotic Dennis Hopper, adolescent terrorism, T-Rex abuse, and abysmal costuming.  When Fisher Stevens is the highlight of your movie and even Big D can't get into the sci-fi fun, you know there's trouble. Anyone who's been listening for the past 199 movies knows "My Science Project" is prime Shat material.

What happens when the dad of the podcast is confronted with the rebellious teen of '90s coming-of-age movies? Will Big D spank "Empire Records," or will this record-store comedy remind him of what it was to be a shoplifting adolescent? Listener Jen D. added to her list of sterling commissions with the movie that gave us Rex Manning Day, scandalous miniskirts, horrible dancing, and a soundtrack that included Better Than Ezra, Cracker, and The Gin Blossoms. The romances and struggles took Ash back to her wild years and made Gene resurrect his inner music snob.  Find out about that thing on AJ's lip, why Corey panicked over a blowjob, and why Big D hates Lucas so much. Oh, and there's some Harry Styles in there for good measure.

This episode is cursed. You've been warned.  It killed Ash's Internet access, froze all of Texas, put Big D in the hospital, and aged Gene another 40 years.  Do you really want to risk it all to hear The Shat Crew talk about Kirk Douglas' cool, Martin Sheen's hair, bootstrap paradox, the lethality of flare guns, Japanese fighter planes, and Navy dress standards? Understand that pressing play is a gamble. What you'll gain is questionable maritime knowledge, even more questionable escape tactics, and some listener feedback. What you might lose is your mind. Man your battle stations, dear listeners. It's "The Final Countdown."

Years of Shat The Movies debate were finally settled this week when Ash, Big D, and Gene carefully studied the Jamie Lee Curtis striptease in "True Lies." The song playing in the background wasn't "Leave Your Hat On" or "Cream." Ash was right: It's "Alone in the Dark." This Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron team-up was the first movie with a $100 million budget, reinvigorated Tom Arnold's career, and might be Bill Paxton's greatest role. The Shat Crew discusses shitty husbands, nuclear fallout, terrorist tactics, when to deliver the punchline, and the unforgettable Crimson Jihad.

Boobs. "Species" is a movie about boobs: great boobs, alien boobs, killer boobs, gooey boobs. But the 1995 movie that introduced the world to Natasha Henstridge is so much more. It made Ash and Big D sympathize with a killer alien. It made Michael Madsen try to be an action star. And it turned Gene Lyons into a sci-fi lawyer. In this edition, we put on our lab coats and dissect the mating habits and menstrual discharge of human hybrids, debate whether inviting a lady to shower is polite or perverted, applaud terrific police work, question laboratory protocols, evaluate the sex appeal of Alfred Molina, and utterly shatter Dick Ebert's optimistic view of the film's end scene.

We all remember Christina Applegate as the ditzy Kelly Bundy from TV's "Married with Children," but people often forget she did '90s movies, too. Before starring in "Anchorman" and "Bad Moms," a young Applegate went dark and quirky with "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead." Commissioner Brad N. told the Shat Crew to do its worst on this comedy, not knowing it was an Ash Schlafly favorite and just wild enough to entertain Gene. The big question: What will Big D say? There's a lot to love with this teen movie, including Bernie Sanders as a babysitter, damaged kids, horrible parenting, Scientology jokes, an adorable romance, and sexy villains. Yes, that is David Duchovny. Ash makes the case that Josh Charles is hot; Gene mourns the loss of another great stoner; and Big D gives us a lecture on responsibility and respect for the dead.

Jim Carrey scored a perfect 0 Wipe Score with "Dumb and Dumber" and almost did it again with "Cable Guy." Can "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" keep the streak alive? Find out why Ace's look gets Ash worked up. Learn about proper dolphin stewardship from Gene. And reminisce with Big D about Super Bowl XXV as the Shat Crew explores the one-liners, physical comedy, and a surprising abundance of sexual situations that made this 1994 comedy a classic. We also delve into "The Crying Game," how the animals kept still, famous rappers-turned-actors, Courteney Cox's shortcomings, and what a dork Dan Marino is.   SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW Android: http://shatthemovies.com/android Apple/iTunes: http://shatthemovies.com/itunes Social Media: Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat Website: http://shatthemovies.com/ HELP SUPPORT THE PODCAST Donate with Paypal: http://shatthemovies.com/paypal Donate With Venmo: https://venmo.com/shatpodcasts Get Podcast Merchandise: http://shatthemovies.com/shop Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=shatmovies-20 Sponsor's Listener Survey: http://shatthemovies.com/survey Leave an iTunes Review: http://shatthemovies.com/review Vote for our Next Movies: http://shatthemovies.com/vote Feeds & Social Media: http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Leave a Voicemail: (914) 719-SHAT - (914) 719-7428 Email: hosts@shatthemovies.com Listen to our TV Podcasts: https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite: https://www.facebook.com/guyznite

Ash makes Shat The Movies history as we motorboat our way through a star-studded film with the coolest movie poster of 1988: "Tequila Sunrise." This is a serious movie with serious cops who seriously love peanuts and throwing coffee while sleeping with witnesses and chatting on gigantic walkie-talkies. We've got saxophones, sunsets, swing sets, and more twists than a bowl of Olive Garden spaghetti. In this episode commissioned by listener Rachel C., Gene decodes the noises old Iranian uncles make. Big D can't decide if the film is stupid or he is, and Ash puts on her scuba suit to explore underwater hot tub sex.
