'Never Seen It' - Episode 20 - Is 'Striptease' so bad it's good?

This is by far our deepest dive yet (so apologies in advance for the length of this episode). Who knew that the 1996 Razzie winner Striptease would provoke the most discussion of any of my "Never Seen It" podcasts with my wife and co-host Elizabeth Rosado.

This movie is infamous for essentially marking the beginning of the end of Demi Moore's career as a major box office star, and it also feels like the last gasp of a certain kind of salacious, politically incorrect '90s movie.

It's definitely a movie that's hard not to have an opinion about, and probably the first movie Liz and I have watched fresh that we both knew was supposed to be terrible. Is it terrible? Is it so bad it's good? Or could it have ever been a great film?

It boasts a solid cast and was based on an acclaimed, best selling book -- but something went wrong. That something, besides me accidentaly calling the movie Showgirls repeatedly, will be revealed if you listen to the podcast.

Check out the episode below where we unload all our thoughts about it (or as much as we can):
