From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

Anyone who's met her knows she's the most determined actor ever, so she did it all herself.

And, yeah, it was like a live event.

I mean, 300 extras watched Jennifer Lopez strip.

Lorraine Scafaria's new movie Hustlers is based on a real-life group of strippers who robbed

their Wall Street clientele.

Scafaria had only one person in mind to play the ringleader, Ramona, and she got her.

My question was, could that really be J-Lo doing that crazy pole dance?

Apparently yes.

Hot off Toronto, where Hustlers won raves, Scafaria talks about her fight to direct the movie,

which was based on her script.

She finally won that battle,

and then the picture got dropped by Anna Perna

and then saved by STX.

Meanwhile, Scafaria got Cardi B, Lizzo,

and Usher to be in her stripper crime movie.

But first on the news banter,

finally something cheap from Apple.

Stick around. It's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my colleague in banter, Matt Bellany of the Hollywood reporter.

Hello, Matt.

Hi there.
