Michael Ironside as Darkseid in my opinion is just as iconic as Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor and Mark Hamill as Joker. Guy made Darkseid a force to be reckoned with
@@ISBuckley8 I totally agree. His introduction in Superman: TAS literally was the best in my opinion. He was just badass. Whenever I see a Darkseid comic panel I hear Michael Ironside.
that's a funny anecdote about Ironside. I Just met him this month, and my experience was similar. He shook my hand firmly and pointed out that I have a trick wrist. Naturally one would want to get offended by being sized up, but he's that old school type. Once you get past his joke, he's a big teddy bear. I also heard that he was going to be a doctor before acting, so that makes more sense how they commonly evaluate people like that.
met Casper while checking out the consignment store in Calabasas a few years back. He is definitely cooler than your average actor, and I got a strong sense that he's a great guy.
I worked with Ironside on two films he's a great dude and doesn't take shit from anyone and expects everyone to be professional, on that note he did bust another actors balls and told him he was going to kick his ass in front of 100 extras and the crew.
I honestly can't remember any movie That Micheal Ironside has been in that I don't like, from low budget to blockbusters. He is a true Icon of the industy and he is just one of those men that make others bring it up to their level like Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Donald Sutherland, or George Perppard they just elevate the other actors by being there.
I loved Michael Ironside as a kid. First saw him as Ham Tyler in the original "V" sci fi TV series. Then in "Top Gun" as Jester. After that, I started seeing him more in villain roles like in the original "Total Recall" as Richter, as The Alien immortal General Katana in "The Highlander 2: The Quickening" and as the Colonel in "The Next Karate Kid". So it was a relief to see him as one of the good guys again in "Starship Troopers".
As people pointed out, it'd be cool to have Michael Ironside on the podcast. Make mention too that Eric Johnson replaced him as Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell Blacklist due to his illness.
Great clip, I like the way Casper uses his ex wives to make the point that you can’t please everyone😄but don’t worry Michael we love you even if Michael Ironside doesn’t🤗
Not really. The film is complete idiocy. A script that had been floating around in Hollywood for about 5 years that was hastily repackaged into an "adaptation" of the book (aka they changed a few names). Director said he read one chapter of the book, and made it pretty clear he completely misunderstood what it was. The book has a far richer world that it paints a picture of. Starship Troopers is Fascist government sends super models to die in a war that it created. How deep.
The movie was trash. Entertaining but B movie trash. The book is a classic. Read it in the 80's. When I heard a movie was coming out, I was excited. Then I saw a commercial for the movie and realized they had no respect for the source material. I hope they do a version more true to the book one day.
Starship Troopers the book is...effin boring, really. It's a lot of really dry text, and a lot of that text is just creepy, glorifying authoritarianism and corporeal punishment and s--- like that. Starship Troopers the movie is a friggin hoot to watch, I always loved it, from the very first time I saw it in a cinema theater back in '97 or whatever it was. Really good action movie, fantastic music score, and the ensemble cast making it even better, it's not just a 1-man show kind of thing like a Schwarzenegger or Stallone movie would be at the time. Never bothered with any of the sequels though, I don't want to tar the original! ;)
@@TriarchVisgroup Paul Verhoeven grew up under German occupation during WWII, he recognizes fascism when he sees it, and he thought the book was trash because it glorifies fascism. Which is true. If you somehow missed that you need better glasses I say. And yeah, it's a popcorn movie, so what. Nothing wrong with that. And yes, the deep(er) angle is that humans started the war with the bugs, we antagonized them by poking around where we did not belong. Which is something humans - and particularly westerners including Muricans - have done time and time again around the world.
@@davidweihe6052 Yeah I remember watching him in V back then too. He was great. I was thinking maybe as Connery was known for having an attitude for taking no sh*t, being professional, knowing the lines, showing up on time etc. whether MI saw that as something positive to emulate. 🤷♂
Ironside is on the record no longer being on good terms with Jerry Bruckheimer and David Cronenberg, he couldn't care less...he's a cancer survivor and put in the years...
Get Michael Ironside on the podcast! The two Michaels. Michael to Michael. That would be sooooo cool!
Michael Ironside is the go-to answer when I did bar trivia when someone didn't know the answer.
He said dark side of him without any understanding of him being Darkseid lol
lol
have Casper Van set it up with Michael Ironside to have him on the pod.
The definitive voice of Darkseid. He was just badass in the role for the DCAU.

@@ISBuckley8 I totally agree. His introduction in Superman: TAS literally was the best in my opinion. He was just badass. Whenever I see a Darkseid comic panel I hear Michael Ironside.
And the definitive voice of Sam Fisher as well.
I still don't know why they didn't get him to do Darkseid's voice in Smallville
Always read Darkseid with Ironside’s voice. Just perfect.
lol Lex and Darkseid still beefing

That “YOU’RE DOIN’ GREAT!” at the end. I felt that. 😅
Starship Troopers is a great movie. I think the movie and actors will never be forgotten. already legendary

Michael Ironside is one of the greatest actors of all time!
I worked with Ironside on two films he's a great dude and doesn't take shit from anyone and expects everyone to be professional, on that note he did bust another actors balls and told him he was going to kick his ass in front of 100 extras and the crew.
I need more details on this story
The ultimate get is Michael Ironside on the Pod. I think it would be good for both of them.
Met him last year. Him and Casper and others will all be at a con in a few months!
Forever Diz!!!

Jester aint playin around
This would be classic...Ironside does not even remember Michel R.
Van Dien looks like a mature Steve Rogers - right out of central casting!
Rosie is the guy that Sam Fisher would keep interrogating after he already has all of the information.
Great clip, I like the way Casper uses his ex wives to make the point that you can’t please everyone😄but don’t worry Michael we love you even if Michael Ironside doesn’t🤗
Tom Welling and Casper Van Dien need to submit billing invoices to Rosenbaum for the therapy sessions he's putting them through.
Now you need to get Ironside on the show.
MICHAEL VS MICHAEL 😂😂
Casper has powerful eyes -- forget Michael Ironside, I bet Casper could be terrifying if directed to be. And as someone else has posted: Forever Diz!
At least Michael is being healthy by not hanging on to a specific individual who he never has to interact with again
I can see Michael Ironside not really liking him, he is definitely the kind to talk your ear off which to a man born in the 1950s is very off putting.
The Scanners guy
Not everyone has the patience to pamper you, Rosenbaum.
"Starship Troopers" was a great movie, better than the book I thought.

@@TriarchVisgroup I would probably understand the book a lot better now. I read it back in like 94 or 95 wow that was a long time ago.

Michael R. should talk to Michael I. and have a therapy session about it.
He might be method. And since you were Lex Luther, on the show, he was keeping the mood to fit the onscreen personas.
Well now we know who should be on the show next…
1:14-Shoutout to a local con!
(Shrug.) Used to be civilian with law enforcement. Hard men and women don't upset me. Most aren't all that bad.
I wonder if Ironside has always been like it or whether a little bit of Connery rubbed off on him from Highlander 2?
I saw him in V in 1984 and Highlander II in 1991. Ironside was always like that. The peril of having a deep voice.
@@davidweihe6052 Yeah I remember watching him in V back then too. He was great. I was thinking maybe as Connery was known for having an attitude for taking no sh*t, being professional, knowing the lines, showing up on time etc. whether MI saw that as something positive to emulate. 🤷♂
How hard did he come ? In the defense of Mr ironside
Sam Fisher!
Hi there.
Ironside is on the record no longer being on good terms with Jerry Bruckheimer and David Cronenberg, he couldn't care less...he's a cancer survivor and put in the years...
He just has a grouchy persona that has worked well for him in acting.
Casper has morphed into a Portland lesbian.
Jester
CVD, she loves you conditionally. Women can only love opportunistically.
