Episode description

We're kicking of our Erotic Thriller Summer Series with two of the most successful of the genre, starring the King of the genre: Michael Douglas. We'll be taking a look back at Paul Verhoeven's genre-defining, high-class trash classic "Basic Instinct," featuring a star-making performance from Sharon Stone, as well as Barry Levinson's bonkers reverse sexual-harassment tale, "Disclosure," with Demi Moore. Joined by special guest LaShea Delaney, we discuss the pleasures of erotic thrillers, as well as its inherent sexism, how Douglas became an icon for the genre, and why Dennis Miller has a career. "Basic Instinct" is streaming for free on ShowtimeAnytime. "Disclosure" is available to rent on iTunes and FandangoNOW.
