Step into the rhinestone-studded chaos of Pretty Bad Movie Gab as we dive into the cult classic The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982). In this episode, we break down the wild musical numbers, legendary performances from Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds, the bizarre political satire, and the surprisingly heartfelt moments that somehow live inside one of the most over-the-top movie premises ever filmed.
Join us as we ask the important questions: Does this country musical comedy actually work as a movie? Which songs still slap decades later? And how did a film about a Texas brothel become such a strange pop-culture time capsule? Whether you’re a longtime fan of classic movie musicals, a lover of weird retro cinema, or just here for sharp, funny film commentary, this episode delivers laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of spirited debate.
