Tonight’s Triple Feature—Showgirls, Striptease, Hustlers—tracks 30 years of America wrestling with sex, money, and power. Showgirls (1995) is Verhoeven’s neon nuclear satire, the American Dream as a Vegas buzzsaw. Striptease (1996) shifts to Florida grime, looking and feeling like Road House with a pole—sweaty bars, corrupt politics, and Demi Moore surviving a world rigged against single moms. By 2019, Hustlers flips the script: Ramona and her crew turn the strip club into a recession-era hustle, treating sex work as labor and revenge on Wall Street. Different decades, different aesthetics, same spine: women navigating systems built by men and reshaped by money.
