People are the worst!
I know! That’s true! People are the worst.
The 119th episode of re:View centered around the Paul Verhoeven film Showgirls.
This episode of re:View includes clips of the film screening similar to an episode of Best of the Worst.
The end of the episode features an anecdote by Rich about a poor experience during his viewing of Oppenheimer in the theater.
Description[edit | edit source]
Hey look! It’s that movie everybody hates from that director that everybody loves. It’s Showgirls! Now several decades after its release, Showgirls has had many reappraisals over the years but not by these two dim witted slobs. Is Showgirls a misunderstood camp classic or a genuinely terrible movie? Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between. Enjoy the video before YouTube shadowbans it!
Themes[edit | edit source]
This episode features another instance of disdain for the modern theater system.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
“Doggie Chow” most likely refers to puppy chow, a kind of snack food where trail mix is coated in melted candy.
Rich’s anecdote about Pac-Man comes from a Wired Magazine interview with Toru Iwatani.
When you think about things women like, you think about fashion, or fortune-telling, or food or dating boyfriends. So I decided to theme the game around “eating” – after eating dinner, women like to have dessert.—Toru Iwatani
