Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 24: Starship Troopers (1997)
Death by Adaptation PodcastWelcome to Death By Adaptation, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss the 1959 classic sci-fi novel Starship Troopers, and the 1997 action satire by Paul Verhoeven. We talk about the politics of Robert A. Heinlein, how misunderstood the film was on release, and whether this story is prescient for our times.
