Summary

Hey darlin's, was Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls just awful dreck from the pen of Joe Eszterhas or a subversive masterpiece about the subjugation of women?

Guest co-hosts Dangerous Minds' Heather Drain and Red Letter Media's Jay Bauman debate the topic with Mike. Our guests include the writer/director/star of Showgirls 2: Penny's From Heaven, Rena Riffel, the author of It Doesn't Suck: Showgirls, Adam Nayman, the provider of the Showgirls commentary track, David Schmader, and former exotic dancer, Jessica Flowers.

Put on your Ver-sayce, get yourself iced up, and prepare to be thrust into the world of Showgirls!
