Episode 33: Showgirls ft. Gabrielle Diekhoff & Kenzo Shibata

Forrest and Andy talk to Kenzo and Gab formerly from Beef Country Pod (soon to be renamed Final Girls) about Verhoeven's 1995 movie Showgirls. When it came out, film critics and audiences absolutely hated Showgirls. Elizabeth Berkley, who had only recently come off of Saved By The Bell, took the brunt of that hatred, which ended up destroying her career. The non-stop gratuitous nudity and passionless sex in the movie ended up netting it an NC-17 rating. However, the campiness (whether accidental...

Episode 24: John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)

Since Halloween Kills recently came out, we talked to J.G. Michael, Karthik Purushothaman, Conan Neutron, and Kenzo Shibata about the original 1978 Halloween. Halloween was (accidentally or not) the first film to really embody many of the tropes that still are re-used in the slasher genre: the final girl, the "you have sex, you die" rule, and the "masked slasher." The newest Halloween remakes (2018, 2021) seek to erase and re-write the franchise's legacy.
