Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It For You
Wholesale” was adapted by Paul Verhoeven in 1990 into a full-tilt
Arnold Schwarzenegger flick filled with so much social satire and
action-movie camp that it was bursting at the seams (just like the
characters!). Join Luke & James in episode 139 as they explore the
short story that started it all before strapping in for the madness
of Verhoeven's classic.
Topics: Nose injections, PKD misogyny, PKD iconic ideas, Benny
being more than the sacrificial lamb, self-aware action tropes, Rob
Bottin’s amazing VFX, who else but Arnold, the Red Faction video
games, was it all a dream, and which was better--the story or the
movie?
