Showgirls

from Tentpole Trauma · host Tentpole Trauma

Madman director Paul Verhoeven was riding high off of several blockbuster successes when he re-teamed with Basic Instinct writer and fellow madman Joe Ezterhaus for a film about the sordid lives of Las Vegas showgirls. Their resulting collaboration, 1995’s Showgirls, was met with resounding box office failure and critical derision, tanking the career of its unlikely lead, Saved By the Bell’s Elizabeth Berkeley. Join Sebastian, Jennifer and Violent Night writer Josh Miller as they hit the stage to celebrate this piece of celluloid insanity that has since gone on to be recognized as a cult cinema masterpiece.
