Summary
Think you enjoy nudity in films? Think again. This week, Chris & Lizzie autopsy the collateral damage of Paul Verhoeven’s cult classic, Showgirls. Topics covered include the dynamics of aquatic intercourse, the paradoxical task of marketing an unsexy NC-17 movie, and why lead actress Elizabeth Berkley was left holding the (Verhoeven-filled) bag.
