In this episode, my co-host Shika and I take a nostalgic trip into the world of cult classic cinema with a deep dive into Showgirls. From its scandalous NC-17 rating to its surprising legacy in pop culture, we break down why this film is the ultimate "so bad it's good" masterpiece.
💄🎬🤖 What We Discuss:
- Our first experiences watching Showgirls as teens vs. now
- The film’s controversial themes around race, gender, and sexuality
- How Showgirls unintentionally became a feminist (or anti-feminist?) statement
- The evolution of cinematic standards and societal norms since its release
- Ulta vs. Sephora: Which beauty retailer truly reigns supreme?
- AI-generated relationships—is technology replacing real human connections?
