Description

Joe Eszterhas’s tenure as the hottest screenwriter in town ended with two notorious 1995 flops: the NC-17 rated Showgirls (directed, like Basic Instinct, by Paul Verhoeven) and Jade (produced, like Sliver, by Robert Evans), We’ll analyze why these films failed to connect with audiences in 1995, and, more importantly, why the media at the time seized on them as major embarrassments for the industry.

If you get Peacock there is a Saved by thr Bell reboot where Elizabeth Berkley does a Showgirls parody. The whole show is cute, but that episode in particular is really funny!
