End Credits #375 - January 22, 2025 (The Last Showgirl)
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on End Credits there's a blast from the past and a sign of the times. Our movie today is a timeless story about someone who feels like the world has passed them by, and it features someone you might have forgotten. We will be checking out Pamela Anderson's return in The Last Showgirl and we will be saying goodbye to a real cinematic original! This Wednesday, January 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: David Lynch. Last week came the bad news that David Lynch passed away, a director so iconoclastic that an entire enigmatic style was named after him. You can't describe what makes a film "Lynchian" but you know it when you see it, and you've definitely seen it whether you know it or not. So to begin this week, we will say a very fond farewell to Lynch by talking about some of his finest works, at least of the feature film variety. REVIEW: The Last Showgirl (2024). Oscar hopeful Pamela Anderson?! This is the movie that may actually make it happen. Anderson was an icon of the 90s thanks to her starring role in Baywatch and her status as a sex symbol, but you haven't heard from her lately. That all has changed with The Last Showgirl, a movie by a Coppola no less (Francis Ford's granddaughter Gia), which follows the last days of an old fashioned nude revue in Las Vegas and the lost souls who perform it every night. Might The Last Showgirl usher in Anderson, the Oscar nominee? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
