This week on Dystopedia, we return to the world of Paul Verhoeven for the third time, exploring his explosive sci-fi classic Total Recall (1990). After covering RoboCop and Starship Troopers, we look at where this film sits in Verhoeven’s unofficial “corporate dystopia trilogy,” blending outrageous action with razor-sharp satire.
We dive into the film’s troubled journey through decades of production hell, Schwarzenegger’s pivotal role in bringing it to life, and Verhoeven’s genius in turning pulpy sci-fi into a prophetic reflection on identity, technology, and the commodification of fantasy.
From camp spectacle to biting social commentary, Total Recall shows why Verhoeven remains one of the most daring voices in dystopian cinema.
Listen back to our earlier episodes on RoboCop and Starship Troopers for the full picture of Verhoeven’s corporate dystopia trilogy.
