"Showgirls" turns 30 this year, and while it was panned on release, it’s since earned a reputation as a cult classic. Las Vegas film critic Josh Bell of Awesome Movie Year joins co-host Dayvid Figler for a wild ride through the glittery, gritty, and gloriously unhinged legacy of perhaps the most misunderstood Vegas film of all time. They debate whether it’s genius satire or just a beautiful mess, unpack its connection to Las Vegas myth-making, and even give some love (and shade) to "The Last Showgirl" and "Leprechaun 3."
