Showgirls
- Brock KasbahMay 24, 2026This film is a boobalicious neon-soaked fever dream infinitely smarter than people realise! At the time, audiences and critics treated it like a failed melodrama. But this came from the man who gave us RoboCop and Total Recall, and eventually Starship Troopers! If you missed the satire here, you just weren't looking. The industry owes Elizabeth Berkley a massive apology for not appreciating her feral, 100% committed performance. From the squeaking leather to the chaotic pool scene, it is an unhinged, brilliant masterpiece that completely eviscerates the American Dream! Also, and I cannot stress this enough... Boobs!
