"SHOWGIRLS"

Tuesday, September 30, 2025. 6 p.m.

-------

So bad it’s perfect. So wrong it’s transcendent. So naked it’s… Showgirls. The film that set the new standard for the silliest s*x scene to ever take place in water.

To celebrate one of the most jaw-dropping cult phenomena in cinema history, CTV invites you to experience Showgirls (1995) like you never have before—with the hysterically brilliant audio commentary by writer David Schmader, dubbed “The Greatest Movie Ever Made”.

This isn’t just a screening—it’s an annotated crash course in glorious cinematic failure.

“Showgirls triumphs in that every single person involved in the making of the film, from the writers, actors, gaffers, every single one of them is making the worst possible decision at every possible time, and it’s this incredible density of failure that makes Showgirls sublime.”

Adapted from Schmader’s cult live screenings in the late ’90s and early 2000s, this commentary lovingly dissects the film’s psychotic dialogue, feral performances, berserk editing, and aggressive lack of subtlety. From Nomi Malone’s terrifying hamburger tantrums to the infamous pool thrashing that defies physics and human anatomy, Showgirls becomes a sacred text—one that’s been misunderstood, maligned, and finally reclaimed as camp canon.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a repeat worshipper at the altar of Verhoeven, this version of Showgirls is a masterclass in how not to make a movie—and why we’re so grateful someone did.

129 minutes. Erotic Drama/Comedy/Camp Classic. Rated NC-17 (and oh, it earns it).
