A look at the production and enduring popularity of a modern trash classic from those bad boys behind 1992's Basic Instinct, the infamous screenwriter Joe Eszterhas and the envelope pushing director Paul Verhoeven. In 1995, their next film collaboration, Showgirls, was unleashed upon the world.
Released in 1995, Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls was met by critics and audiences with near universal derision. You Don't Nomi traces the film's redemptive journey from notorious flop to cult classic, and maybe even masterpiece.
