Paul Verhoeven 3-Way
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Robocop, so we decided to show some love to Paul Verhoeven by putting three of his classic sci-fi films against each other. We watched Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers. Let's talk about Politics, War, Violence, Corporate Cash Grabbing, and Co-Ed Shower Scenes! In classic VS fashion there can only be one film standing! Let's talk about movies!
