Summary
Continuing our series on the purported "bad movies" in cinematic history, we're covering Razzie nominee Showgirls ! We've been fans of Paul Verhoeven around here for a while, so to see his name lambasted for a movie that is not nearly as bad as everyone would have you believe is something we will not stand for! We reevaluate this film and give it the respect it's due, while also documenting some of its flaws too. We're also drinking Lawson's Finest Liquids' Lager! Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-25:00 Beer talk 25:00-end Showgirls Difficult Films continues throughout the month of May!
