204 - Showgirls 2: Penny's From Heaven

Tim and Jen brave the crowdfunded sequel to Showgirls, a mindbogglingly lengthy auteur statement called Showgirls 2: Penny's From Heaven.

The entire thing is the work of bit-part Showgirls (the original) actress Rena Riffel, who wrote, directed, edited, and starred in...this.  Please don't be mad at us Rena we love you

See Rena's pivotal appearance in Tim's beloved Fishmasters, the low-budget but charming San Luis Obispo-area TV show mentioned in the episode.

Geeks of Doom had some hilariously wrong information about the film when the first trailer and crowdfunding appeal droppped:

[T]he film is “about stripper who died from a dose of contaminated cocaine. Her brother comes to Frankfurt to find the responsible and revenge.”

We've seen it, and it's not that. Luna Guthrie at Collider treats the movie much more kindly than we do, if you want a different take.

Finally, please watch Jen's video mashing up R.O.T.O.R. with Midi, Maxi, and Efti, and follow us on YouTube if you're not sick of us already!
