LOS ANGELES—Renee Olstead joined the hosts of "The Worst of All Possible Worlds" podcast for a deep dive into Paul Verhoeven’s notorious 1995 cult classic Showgirls.
In the two-hour episode, "Showgirls, featuring Renee Olstead," Olstead and the hosts A.J. Ditty, Josh Boerman, and Brian Alford tackled the absurdity, artistry, and unintended solidarity of Showgirls, with topics such as the chaos of Joe Eszterhas’s screenplay, the edits in the infamous VH1 cut, and the movie’s reputation as both a disaster and a feminist Rorschach test.
Said Olstead, "I had so much fun chatting with A.J., Josh, and Brian about this gloriously campy disasterpiece. The time completely flew by. We laughed a lot, shared some wildly specific observations, and somehow managed to make a two-hour conversation about Showgirls feel like it still wasn’t enough. I had the best time."
