Hey, friends! I erred on the "So Bad it's good" poll. I did not know that Showgirls was an NC-17 movie. Obviously it was a polling favorite of many of you, but I honestly don't feel right about having something that is apparently straight-up erotica on the channel (I assumed due to it's mainstream existence that it was rated R). This is 100% on me, so I will be redoing the poll sans Showgirls. If not just for us, then for the subscribers among you that also wouldn't be cool with us doing an NC17 film. Again, I cannot apologize enough!

The YouTube edit would've been about 10 minutes long, at best

Bummer, but understandable

No, MEA culpa for raining on the parade. I didn’t mean to cause a ruckus, I just wanted to prepare you for the possibility of awkward cringy-ness of the laughably bad variety. Who knows, maybe the rating has been downgraded to an R since it’s original release🤷🏼‍♀️?

Would probably just be an R if made today, especially compared to some HBO TV shows. But I also understand the choice and better safe than sorry, especially for the genre of bad movies

Feels weird that you're unsure about Showgirls when you have Game of Thrones on the channel which features boobs and butts all the time. Showgirls is pretty harmless all things considered.

I'm only used to watching the TV version but also own it so now I'm going to have to watch it again to see. I was sure there is only one nip slip. But maybe the costumes? The one time I finally have my own ready copy to watch along with for a movie. But I will hush now and look forward to my second hope of commiserating over my childhood nightmares.

I am really sorry for the error. We just don't want to make any of the wonderful subscribers uncomfortable by watching an NC-17 film on the channel.

I understand where you are coming from. The line really can be blurry for sure. We just really aren't comfortable with a film on the channel that receives an NC-17 rating. Yes, GOT certainly has plenty of strong sexuality. We just have to draw a line somewhere, and a film that is absolutely restricted from children 17 and under seeing it under any circumstances is just a bridge a bit too far for us on this platform.

That's a fair point. And there's straight up incest, infanticide, torture, and r*pe in GOT where nothing like that happens in Showgirls. But it's hard to translate for TV-MA to film ratings.

I knew you two were a couple of perverts trying to warp my delicate soul. I'll have my eye on you from now on.

The film version had full frontal female nudity, simulated nude lap dances, female locker room cat fights etc. hence the NC-17 rating
