Yeah that's right! Once again back from the dead, we are bringing our Garbage Day series- a celebration of notorious "so bad it's good" cult classics- to the historic Babcock Theatre for a special screening of Paul Verhoeven's crazy 1995 dance drama, SHOWGIRLS, in celebration of the film's 30th anniversary! From the man who made Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers (huh??), Paul tries his hand at the world of competitive strip-dancing with incredibly polarizing results! Existing in a strange disconnected world of its own, SHOWGIRLS is a truly different film straight out of left field, filled to the brim with questionable choices and a frenetic energy throughout. Whether you like it or not, SHOWGIRLS is a truly unique film that should be seen to be believed! You know how they say you should read some bad books in order to make sure you know what a good book is? It's kind of like that!
A new resident of Las Vegas with zero connections, Nomi Malone takes a position as an exotic dancer. Working at the same club as Nomi, a headlining dancer named Cristal spots Nomi's potential for further growth and senses an opportunity to bolster her act. However, Nomi has no desire to be anyone's number two, and feeling she is destined to rise to the top, begins to ruthlessly backstab anyone who get in the way of her path to stardom!
