Starship Troopers

Welcome to episode 11 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we're off to kill bugs along with the rest of the Mobile Infantry, in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers. Satire or military propaganda...you decide. (Just a hint, book = military propaganda, movie = satire.) Listen to Anna and Sam denounce fascism and Patrick Muldoon's terrible hair, and play some games of course.

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.
