IN THIS EPISODE…

We travel back to the 17th-Century to discuss the latest movie from the controversial Paul Verhoeven. The director of Showgirls (https://bit.ly/vicep330) returns to tell the true story of a lesbian nun who spoke to God. Kelly Reynolds from Boobies and Noobies (https://bit.ly/330guest) discusses the film's use of religion, deconstructing some misunderstandings, proving the film is more than its sexual controversies and much more.
