ACOFAE Podcast Proudly Presents: Showgirls x The Life of a Showgirl: "Men are usually the villain." If you've been a long time listener then you know that getting the movie Showgirls on the pod is a WIN for Laura Marie. Pairing it with a discussion about Taylor Swift's new album release, The Life of a Showgirl, is a match made in heaven for Jessica Marie! This being Jessica Marie's very first NC-17 film is a win for everyone and ACOFAE has so much to say. Kicking off the discussion with a full breakdown of the movie Showgirls, ACOFAE is in awe of the production. Sparking discussions about shedding child star image, internalized misogyny, and sexual freedom, the movie Showgirls is a spectacle for the eyes and for the brain. Taylor's discussion focuses on how women can't do anything right in the eyes of society, and that it seems to be that pain is rewarded instead of joy - and that joy makes women talentless. Join ACOFAE as they explore all of the storylines in both the movie and the album, and come to the conclusion that women just can't be happy without criticism.

On episode 317 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson alongside AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer and Josh Parham to go back 30 years and take a look at the 68th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1995. On this retrospective, the AW team take a trip to 1995, where actor Mel Gibson rode off the with multiple Oscars, winning Best Picture for his war epic, Braveheart. While a hit within its own right, it was a bit of a shocking win considering many believed that Apollo 13 was going to take home Oscar's top prize. It's a massive upset that would have ripple effects over the course of Academy history that would have make up wins not just for Ron Howard, but for other nominees in this Oscar field. 1995 is a stacked, incredible year of cinema that the gang tries to reflect a little better than what the Academy nominated with films like Heat, Showgirls, Get Shorty, Clueless, Seven, Before Sunset, Friday, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and more getting either mentions, nominations, or wins in the big top eight categories.Maybe one of them wins Best Picture, maybe they don't, you'll have to listen and try not to fall down a flight of stairs to find out. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1995, briefly discuss talk about Braveheart as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 2h47m. We will be back in next week for another retrospective over the 83rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 2010. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
La película que arruinó carreras, dividió a la crítica, se convirtió en culto y sigue generando debate casi treinta años después. ¿Es un desastre? ¿Es una sátira incomprendida? ¿Es las dos cosas a la vez? Aquí venimos a prenderle fuego al mito. Repasamos su producción desorbitada de 45 millones, su brutal campaña de marketing, el historial de caos detrás de cámaras, la caída (y resurrección) de Verhoeven, y por qué Showgirls vive hoy una segunda vida como fenómeno queer, midnight movie y símbolo del “so bad it’s iconic”. Hoy, en Nakatomi, somos todo pelvis: SHOWGIRLS
Wtf Elizabeth Berkeley?!9
Tonight's Triple Feature—Showgirls, Striptease, Hustlers—tracks 30 years of America wrestling with sex, money, and power. Showgirls (1995) is Verhoeven's neon nuclear satire, the American Dream as a Vegas buzzsaw. Striptease (1996) shifts to Florida grime, looking and feeling like Road House with a pole—sweaty bars, corrupt politics, and Demi Moore surviving a world rigged against single moms. By 2019, Hustlers flips the script: Ramona and her crew turn the strip club into a recession-era hustle, treating sex work as labor and revenge on Wall Street. Different decades, different aesthetics, same spine: women navigating systems built by men and reshaped by money.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

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, so today we're revisiting our conversation about the film.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
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
