    Starship Troopers - the book was extremely meh - the movie is excellent (and very relevant to modern day).

    Clue - an excellent movie based off a fucking boardgame… ditto for Barbie now as well!

    Mage the Acension is a TTRPG love letter to Ars Magicka and it blows it out of the water.

      Paul Verhoeven really upped the ante on that one.

        How would Hannah Arendt be relevant here? I read a short blurb about her philosophy especially in regards to authority but I haven’t seen starship troopers

          A hexbear or lemmygrad user could better explain this one, but its a deep-cut satirical comment on how nations that market themselves as “free” (but aren’t), promote philosophies that group and demonize all their enemies into a single camp, and prop up writers like Arendt, who was one of the main ideological peddlers of western moral supremacy during the cold war.

          Losurdo has a lot of good articles on this and Arendt specificaly, and also Gabriel Rockhill has some good articles about this too.
