Showgirls (w/ Jenna Cosgrove)
Manage episode 437141901 series 3441224
Rivka and Frank are joined by author, screenwriter, and director Jenna Cosgrove to discuss 1995 cult classic Showgirls. They unpack the film’s brutally honest depiction of the commodification of the female body and sexual exploitation, and the class divide between the Cheetah Club and the Stardust Hotel. They also discuss how Verhoeven is actually the bad guy of the film, while Elizabeth Berkeley deserves all of the credit.
For next week, we’ll be breaking from our regular format to present a special episode: Ask a Marxist with Harvey Kaye.
