About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron slide into the sun-bleached, Florida-fried madness of Striptease (1996) — the political-strip-club crime caper that paid Demi Moore a record-breaking salary to anchor a movie that can’t decide if it’s political satire or a sexy crime thriller. Featuring Burt Reynolds caked in Vaseline, and Ving Rhames wielding a cordless drill, it’s a film that turns Hiaasen’s dark comedy into pure, neon-tinted chaos.
Grab your lint trap, queue up some Annie Lennox, and join Ade and Aaron as they sift through off-screen plot twists, Florida Man side quests, and memorable one-liners. Because if Striptease taught us anything, it’s that in Florida, the line between comedy and corruption is as slippery as Burt Reynolds’ boots.
