  1. the 20 year anniversary of WB's Superstar USA

    So, every now and then I rewatch Jenny Nicholson talking about the worst reality TV show of all time, because it’s funny, and because I have a cold.

    Tom Jolliffe takes a look back at Showgirls, once universally derided and considered one of the worst films ever… but is it actually misunderstood? Upon its release in 1995, Paul Verhoeven’s trashy spectacular, Showgirls was obliterated by critics….

    Showgirls: Complete and utter trainwreck or misunderstood satirical feminist masterpiece?








  4. Casablanca

    Did you know I was probably in my 30s before I watched Casablanca for the first time?
