Today's guest is the fabulous Rena Riffel. Rena is an American actress, singer, dancer, model, writer, producer, and director. She is best known for her supporting roles in films such as Showgirls, Striptease, and Mulholland Drive.Riffel landed her breakthrough role in the 1995 film Showgirls starring Elizabeth Berkley, Gina Gershon, and Kyle MacLachlan. Initially reading for the lead role of Cristal Connors, Riffel was cast in the supporting role of Penny/Hope after director Paul Verhoeven decided that she was too young to play an aging showgirl.While on the set of Showgirls, Riffel approached the music supervisor with a song she recorded, "Deep Kiss". The music supervisor tested the song on the production office (without telling them it had been written by one of the actresses) to determine if it was suitable for the film. Director Paul Verhoeven listened to the song and decided to include it in the lap dance scene at the Cheetah strip club.Although an initial box office failure, Showgirls enjoyed success in the home video market, generating more than $100 million in video rentals and became one of MGM's top 20 all-time best sellers.For the 2004 re-release as a DVD limited edition box set, Riffel, along with cast members Lin Tucci and Patrick Bristow, had their hand prints and names put in cement in front of the Hollywood Vista Theater at the red carpet event where they were also interviewed by Access Hollywood. Riffel and Bristow were also special guests at Peaches Christ's Midnight Mass midnight screening of Showgirls in 2008 in San Francisco, California. They were interviewed on stage after the live performance of the Goddess volcano dance performed by drag queens in gold lamé and featuring Peaches Christ as Goddess.When asked if she expected Showgirls to produce such a cult legacy, Riffel replied, "No. I went into it thinking it would be a really erotic, serious, shocking exposé. People would be sitting on the edge of their seats from suspense. [... But] some people were trying to play straight comedy – I played my character with comedy; I was hoping to get a laugh – but no one was acting with tongue in cheek. I know that everyone went into it thinking it would be like Basic Instinct. [...] Maybe it's Verhoeven. Even [Basic Instinct] seems kind of campy now [...] I think it's something with European filmmakers. I think – and this is my theory – [...] that there's something that European filmmakers have, a punched-up, extreme vibe. Everything's extreme."Following her role in Showgirls, Riffel was cast in Striptease with Demi Moore and Burt Reynolds. Showgirls was generally disliked and the filmmakers feared people would pre-judge Striptease for that reason. To avoid any association between the two films, advertisements projected Striptease as more comedic than Showgirls, which had been marketed as a drama. Aside from a common context, Striptease and Showgirls shared two notable connections: Marguerite Derricks choreographed both films, and Rena Riffel played a prominent role in each.In 2001, Riffel appeared in the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive. When interviewed about the film and if she “got it”, Riffel replied, “See…I can’t remember. No, I guess it still doesn’t make sense to me. It’s been a while – I’d like to watch it again….one website put a lot of clarity on it with their theories.”
This is the three hundredth episode of the show, and I just want to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am to the hundreds of amazing guests who've made time to talk to me, listeners like you who download the show and recommend it to friends, and of course everyone on Patreon whose support allows me to create the show week after week.In the nearly five and a half years that I've been doing The Sewers of Paris, I've spoken to hundreds of fascinating people, and for this three hundredth episode I wanted to gather clips from some of my favorite conversations over the years. You're about to hear excerpts from my interviews with sex advice columnist Dan Savage, comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, NPR reporter Sonari Glinton, drag icon Coco Peru, Lebanese pop singer Hamed Sinno, pop culture host Louis Virtel, actor Patrick Bristow, and finally Drag Race star Alaska Thunderfuck.Each of these people is creating art and culture and entertainment, and I've selected clips from each episode that provides insight into their unique styles and inspiration. And of course, if you'd like to hear the full interview with any of them, you can find them all at SewersOfParis.com.Also, a reminder that The Sewers of Paris is on Twitter and Facebook — I'll be posting links to each of these guests' original episodes throughout the next week.And don't miss my next livestream — a nice time to just hang out and talk about the book and movies and music and shows we love, trade recommendations, and just chill out with queer friends. The next one is September 19 at 11am pacific. There's a link at the top of the Sewers of Paris twitter feed.And don't forget to check out my other podcasts! Culture Cruise on YouTube is a deep dive into queer entertainment milestones. And check out Queens of Adventure and Queens of Adventure: Legends, two narrative comedy shows with drag heroes going on adventures in a world of fantasy.So let's begin with a clip from episode 100, my conversation with Dan Savage. Though you probably know Dan for his Savage Love sex advice column, we wound up talking mostly about theater. Dan's background is as an actor, and when he first moved to Seattle, he made a name for himself locally with a particularly daring troupe known as Greek Active.
On episode six of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie go back to 1997 when the tips were frosted, the chokers were plastic, and all anyone could do was discuss that the title character of a sitcom on a national network was about to say "Yup, I'm gay!" It is Ellen's "The Puppy Episode" from April 30th, 1997, Joining the boys is the fiery, funny redhead Patrick Bristow who appeared as Ellen's gay compadre, Peter Barnes, and as the infamous "thrust it" choreographer in Showgirls. Patrick walks us through how his ho-hum coming out led to one of the funniest jokes on the episode, why Ellen was going to tell the world she was gay, the backstage fear and joy from the momentous event, dealing with homophobia, why the show changed the rules in a variety of ways, and being a Lil Abner singing gay cowboy on a dusty trail.

We're nearing the anniversary of the release of one of my favorite films ever made, Showgirls, which came out on September 22, 1995. So this week we're heading into the Sewers of Paris vault for a listen back to my 2015 conversation with one of the actors in that movie, Patrick Bristow. He played the terrifying choreographer who hollers THRUST IT at Elizabeth Berkeley. He also played the wigmaster on Seinfeld, Larry David's dance teacher on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the bubbly Peter on Ellen. He shared some fascinating behind the scenes stories about the making of all those movies and shows, as well as his own revelations about learning to set aside the need to fit in.And hey, if you're going to be in Seattle on September 27, I hope you'll join me for a screening of a new documentary about Showgirls entitled You Don't Nomi. I appear in the doc as an expert on Showgirls — which I can hardly believe myself — and I'll be present at the screening to introduce it and answer questions. It's happening at Northwest Film Forum on September 27.Also, a quick heads-up that I'll be doing a very special livestream this Saturday, September 7. A team of drag artists is going to put me into drag, live on camera. Join me along with Arson Nicki, Fraya Love, and Londyn Bradshaw to catch a glimpse of a side of me that nobody, including me, has ever seen. Head over to https://youtu.be/wh2Z1pccCxc to watch, and to set a reminder for when we go live.And just a reminder that right now we're running a Kickstarter campaign for Queens of Adventure, a comedy storytelling podcast where Drag Queens play Dungeons & Dragons. We're raising money to record a dozen hours of new adventures with local drag artists and D&D shows in the midwest, and you can get some gorgeous gay rewards if you back the show. We just added new reward tiers and lowered the price on others, and the campaign ends on September 14.
