Jeffrey McHale (Showgirls Doc You Don't Nomi)

from MovieMaker · host MovieMaker Magazine

With You Don't Nomi, filmmaker Jeffrey McHale uses thoughtful voiceover and deft editing to take Showgirls seriously. Is Paul Verhoeven's 1995 bomb, starring a very committed Elizabeth Berkley as aspiring topless dancer Nomi Malone, truly as bad as critics claimed at the time? Or is it a misunderstood satire? Or both?Whatever the case may be, McHale shows how Showgirls belongs now to its audience — who embrace it for its camp, its wildness, and an LGBTQ message that many have found after the fact. He's made a documentary about Showgirls that is superior to Showgirls itself, but has empathy and respect for everyone involved, especially Berkley. Hosted on Acast.

Making Movies with Andy Young Andy Youg A podcast where Moviemaker Magazine writer Andy Young sits down with some great working filmmakers to talk about their work and influences. Anthony's Asylum Anthony R. W. Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff. That's where my podcast Anthony's Asylum comes in. With Anthony's Asylum I'll discuss topics I'm devoted to - everything from talking about movies and video games that I love to the news that intrigues me most in the movie, game, and tech industries. So join me on a ride through Anthony's Asylum - my plan is to deliver a new podcast weekly, and I know the thing about plans is that they're neither foolproof nor consistent, but I will try my hardest to publish the best content that I can, when I can, and weekly sounds about right to me.
