The queens put the SIS in ekphrasis!Please Support Breaking Form!Review the show on Apple Podcasts here.Aaron's STOP LYING is available from the Pitt Poetry Series.James's ROMANTIC COMEDY is available from Four Way Books.Show Notes:The Greek word ekphrasis (ἔκφρασις) is derived from the Greek prefix ek- ("out") and the verb phrazein ("to speak," "to explain," or "to show"). The combination translates to "to speak out," "to speak clearly and completely," or "to show clearly." In the movie Showgirls, Kyle MacLachlan's character, Zack Carey, corrects Nomi Malone (played by Elizabeth Berkley) when she mispronounces "Versace" as "Ver-sayce." Watch the iconic scene here."Faithfully" is a song by American rock band Journey, released in 1983 as the second single from their album Frontiers. Go behind the music with some more info about the song's origin story.The receipts about Karl Lagerfeld's hateful (racist, fat phobic) ass are here.Some of the poems and poets we mention include:Jorie Graham, San SepolcroPaul Tran, Like Judith Slaying Holofernes -- and listen to Tran talk about their inspiration for this poem.Rainer Maria Rilke, "Archaic Torso of Apollo"Tommye Blount, "Karl Lagerfeld's line of beauty"Amy Gerstler, "Dear Boy George"Anne Sexton, "Starry Night" David Trinidad's "Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera" (excerpt)Walta Borawski, "Watching Sting on Saturday Night Live."

Paul Verhoeven is officially a Born to Watch legend, but this week the boys go deep into his most infamous film to find out if Showgirls (1995) deserves a spot at the top of the Rank Bank or belongs buried under a mountain of glitter and regret. The Showgirls (1995) Review will be a lot of fun.From the moment Nomi Malone hitchhikes into Las Vegas with dreams of stardom and a suitcase full of questionable choices, Verhoeven's neon-soaked disaster invites every kind of reaction. Whitey, G-Man and Damo rip through the plot with their trademark mix of outrage and disbelief, tackling everything from Elizabeth Berkeley's career-ending performance to Kyle MacLachlan's slippery pool scene that's become cinematic legend for all the wrong reasons.Was Showgirls ever meant to be serious? Could it have worked as a satire? The crew debates whether Verhoeven's direction and Joe Eszterhas's ludicrous script are misunderstood genius or just cinematic malpractice. Damo argues that it's a "full mind-body spiritual experience," while Whitey insists it's “a masterpiece of shit." G-Man tries to stay objective, but even he can't defend dialogue this wooden or acting this drenched in baby oil.The team delves into the film's troubled production history, including Berkeley's disastrous fallout from Saved by the Bell, Verhoeven's later confession that he pushed her into cartoonish exaggeration, and Kyle MacLachlan's stunned reaction at the premiere: "I was absolutely gobsmacked." They explore how Showgirls was panned on release, only to rise again as a cult classic, the sort of “so-bad-it's-good” masterpiece that packs midnight screenings and inspires drag-queen tributes around the world.No Born to Watch review would be complete without the Snorbs Report, and this week it's a full-length epic. From the film's Razzie nominations to its $100 million home-video redemption, the boys chronicle how Showgirls became both an artistic failure and a commercial success. There's trivia about its banned trailer, its notorious NC-17 rating, and Verhoeven's history of pushing boundaries, from Basic Instinct to Starship Troopers.In true Born to Watch fashion, the lads discover a few accidental highlights: Gina Gershon's camp brilliance, the hilariously terrible fight choreography, and Robert Davi's unforgettable line delivery that cements his place in movie-villain history. They even crown Showgirls the global champion of "wank-per-capita cinema", a category no one asked for but everyone understands.By the end, they decide Showgirls is a film that must be seen to be believed. It's equal parts erotic thriller, unintentional comedy, and cautionary tale about a tragic career. Whether you love it, hate it, or just can't look away, Showgirls remains a cinematic experience unlike anything else.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONWas Showgirls a misunderstood genius or glorious trash?Is Nomi Malone the most unlikeable lead in movie history? Did Verhoeven create art, or just soft-core chaos in heels?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and tell us where this one ranks in your guilty pleasures.#Showgirls1995Review #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #PaulVerhoeven #ElizabethBerkeley #CultClassic #SnobsReport #90sMovies #FilmReview #VegasNights

Diagnose: Ich bin ein Showgirl! Diese Woche war wild. Ich hatte einen kleinen mentalen Zusammenbruch, ein Unterwäsche-Shooting und eine ärztliche Diagnose, die mich gleichzeitig beruhigt und irritiert hat. Dazu kommt: Ich schlafe schlecht, bin im Dauerstress, mein erster Roman erscheint bald, und zwischendurch soll ich noch charmant lächelnd in Unterwäsche posieren. Das Leben eines Showgirls, nur mit mehr Zink und weniger Glamour.Am Ende geht's aber um mehr als nur Stress und Hoden: um Selbstfürsorge, das Älterwerden und den Versuch, inmitten von Terminen, Buchpromo und nächtlichen Sorgen ein bisschen Frieden zu finden. Ich möchte dieses Jahr nämlich eines ganz sicher schaffen: nicht auf dem Christkindlmarkt im Burgenland ohnmächtig werden.Meinen Krimi bestellenMein Patreon-Account

"Showgirls" turns 30 this year, and while it was panned on release, it's since earned a reputation as a cult classic. Las Vegas film critic Josh Bell of Awesome Movie Year joins co-host Dayvid Figler for a wild ride through the glittery, gritty, and gloriously unhinged legacy of perhaps the most misunderstood Vegas film of all time. They debate whether it's genius satire or just a beautiful mess, unpack its connection to Las Vegas myth-making, and even give some love (and shade) to "The Last Showgirl" and "Leprechaun 3."

In this glitter-packed bonus episode, Danielle and Jackie are joined by their Gen Z honorary little sister Zoe for a fierce and fabulous game of Camp Trash™. They put queer-coded and nostalgic faves like Showgirls, Spice World, and Romeo + Juliet on trial to decide: are they cult classics worthy of worship, or camp trash best left in the Blockbuster bargain bin? Expect chaotic debates, heartfelt nostalgia, and exactly one hot take that might get the internet mad (sorry, Josie and the Pussycats). It's loud, dramatic, and deeply unserious—just how we like it.—No More Late Fees https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERingmyconquering.com10% Off Code: JACKIE10—ZoeInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/somelikeitpop/?hl=enTwitterhttps://x.com/somelikeitpopTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@somelikeitpop?lang=enBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/somelikeitpop.bsky.social—Zoe's Previous EpisodesJoy Ridehttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/joy-ride Millennials meet Gen Z with Zoe of Some Like it Pophttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/millennials-meet-gen-z-with-zoe-of-some-like-it-pop Rolling Stone Top 500 with Zoehttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/rolling-stone-top-500-with-zoe

We're here to provide a little distraction -- and a positive online community during these weird times -- with the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Our first movie isn't exactly escapist fun, though: "The Long Walk," which is one of the better Stephen King adaptations. It's beautifully written and acted but also harrowing to watch, especially now. This may not be the best week to see people getting shot in the head, but this movie is really good otherwise. In theaters. Next up, it's "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," the painfully unfunny sequel to the 1984 comedy classic "This Is Spinal Tap." It would be impossible to match the brilliance of a movie that invented an entire genre, but this one really doesn't. Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer are all back, along with some major celebrity cameos. In theaters. If you're looking for elegant pleasures, we have "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale." Everyone's lives are in flux in 1930s England, but they look great doing it. And despite their financial woes, they find time to get gussied up for the horse races at Ascot. This tidies up all the stories in satisfying fashion. In theaters. Finally, a lengthy Movie News LIVE!: Early reactions to "One Battle After Another," Emmy Awards on Sunday, "Big Little Lies" season 3 and much more. We tried to keep the politics to a minimum but dipped into some entertainment-adjacent items toward the end. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for all you do for our community!

30 years on, the tide is turning for Showgirls.Showgirls is remembered for its outlandish dialogue, the over-the-top performances, culminating in controversy, cult status, and unapologetic campiness. It's widely regarded as a mess, a critical and commercial flop, and poor Elizabeth Berkley took the brunt of the blame.Showgirls is polarizing, for many it's a guilty pleasure drenched in excess, but for others, it's a train wreck that's hard to look away from. This movie is no financial flop though, in fact it's one of MGM's most lucrative of all time. Sex sells. Nomi Malone hitchhikes her way to Las Vegas, dreaming of stardom and glory in the world of top tier showgirls. Writer Joe Eszterhas dreamed of a script that contained the real life stories of the women who worked in Vegas clubs, but director Paul Verhoeven wanted a not-so-subtle commentary on the darker side of fame and ambition in show business.It's looking at the American dream in a dark, twisted mirror, showing the misogynistic rot of show business, the dark reality of a patriarchal society that on the surface claims to love, idolise and promote women, it actually exploits and degrades women in the name of entertainment. Just like what happened to Elizabeth Berkley.I would love to hear your thoughts on Showgirls !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!
