Published: Oct. 8, 2022, 8:11 p.m.

When you think of international powerhouses outside of Hollywood you usually think of The UK, Japan, Italy, France, Bollywood and\u2026 the Dutch? Not really. But then like a heatwave in the late seventies a madman dressed like a suburban dad exploded out of Amsterdam and for the next twenty years threw haymakers in American smart action movies which would change the game. Until, he decided to make an expensive porno movie but even that couldn\u2019t stop Paul Verhoeven from making movies about weirdos getting nuts. Maybe the most underrated auteur of the 80s and 90s. The boys discuss. Dead or alive you\u2019re coming with us.
