:laffo:

was real conflicted about what i thought of mike and tom and servo making fun of verhoeven making fun of heinlein but man they did a great job. even cutting the nudity for whatever rating they were trying to achieve was funny because you know some nerds wanted to see that and maybe high-five or pull it off under their leather trenchcoats v0v

i laughed [internally] until i thought i was going to have a hernia for 75% of it and then gtfo quick blocked only by an old guy who seemed like he had the gout

the real-life nazis here are apparently too hip for rifftrax though

that was sort of the point, heinlein believed in some crazy poo poo but you can't put simple labels on him like "fascist"

also i just hate people misusing the word "fascist" in general because it has a specific meaning and it's not "totalitarianism with fashionable uniforms"
