63: We Are People 1

The Players Club and the Stripper Myth

The hosts discuss the 1998 film "The Players Club," directed by Ice Cube, which popularized the "stripper myth" of a woman dancing only to pay for college. They trace the cinematic desensitization of stripping through films like "Showgirls" and "Striptease." Adam Curry notes the "calculated" casting of Elizabeth Berkley, moving from the "smart" character in "Saved by the Bell" to a stripper.
