This is the 200th official episode of Tasteless, so I'm bringing it back to where the show began. I've done a brand new episode on the comparison that inspired me to start a podcast, with all the care and dedication required for a supposedly tasteless film that looms so large.
That's right, it's two movies about following your dreams and the ripple effect that has on who you become — it's La La Land vs Showgirls.
I delve into the brilliant physicality of Elizabeth Berkley's performance as Nomi Malone and why Showgirls deserves a reappraisal.
