The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 58 (Showgirls)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we once again dive head-first into the dumpster of cinema to look for unwanted treasures, as we talk about Showgirls, a highly controversial cult classic, universally derided upon its release that only recently has gained some much needed attention. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie being a misunderstood satire and a commentary on the fallacy of the American Dream, Paul Verhoeven's brand of cinematic sleaze, Kyle MacLachlan's hair, Elizabeth Berkley's acting chops and much more!
