The Criterion Collection is known for their dedication to championing classic and contemporary movies we should all be seeing, showcasing them with exquisite transfers and film school-level special features. But when it comes to their streaming service The Criterion Channel, the catalog is a bit looser. And it got weird and worse(?) this month, as they added a 14-title retrospective of the Golden Raspberry Awards. Titled “And the Razzie Goes To…”, Criterion’s grouping compiles 14 movies that come complete with bees, turkey time and whatever the hell Tom Green was doing for the duration of Freddy Got Fingered.
Here is the full list of Razzie flicks now available on The Criterion Channel: Cruising (1980), Heaven’s Gate (1980), Xanadu (1980), Querelle (1982), Under the Cherry Moon (1986), Ishtar (1987), Cocktail (1988), Showgirls (1995), Barb Wire (1996), The Blair Witch Project (1999), Freddy Got Fingered (2001), Swept Away (2002), Gigli (2003), and The Wicker Man (2006).

There is, a critic will argue, a great deal of value in finding and discussing the worst films of the year. All the films released in a given epoch are a reflection of the trends and ideas that produced them, and scoring the bottom of the barrel for the worst filmmaking, the worst ideas, and the most misguided thinking will provide a valuable analysis of where we are as a society. Worst-of lists are important and vital and should be written with enthusiasm. They also let critics blow off steam a little bit; we don't have the luxury to skip bad movies or avoid talking about the ones we hate. It's our job.
The Golden Raspberries, or the Razzies for short, however, lost sight of that value a while back. The annual Razzies announcement is usually a snarky affair that only serves to pick on the year's least popular blockbusters,...

Pamela Anderson is returning to the big screen. The “Barb Wire” and “Baywatch” star is set to lead Gia Coppola’s third feature film “The Last Showgirl,” described as a redemption story about an aging Las Vegas dancer looking to connect with her adult daughter after her show is abruptly canceled. Seemingly part “Hacks” and part “The Wrestler,” the film is written by “Up Here” and “The Good Place” scribe Kate Gersten and directed by Coppola.
“The Last Showgirl” marks Anderson’s first lead role in years, and her latest feature after 2022’s “Alone at Night.” In addition to Anderson, the star-studded cast includes Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, and Billie Lourd.
The official logline for the film reads: “A seasoned showgirl (Anderson) must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a thirty-year run. As a dancer in her fifties, she...

Despite reports that audiences are losing interest in sex scenes, the Netflix viewership charts are preaching the opposite. A Brazilian erotic thriller called "Burning Betrayal" recently hit the streaming platform, and is popping up on the top 10 charts across the globe. Perhaps it's the result of "Fair Play" dominating the charts at the end of September 2023, motivating viewers to look for even more tantalizing thrills. "Burning Betrayal" more than delivers on eroticism, as the first five minutes of the film boldly features graphic sex scenes, presented in a way that tricks the brain into thinking they might not be simulated.
Directed by Diego Freitas ("Beyond the Universe") and adapted from Sue Hecker's novel "O Lado Bom de Ser Traída" (rough translation: "The Good Side of Being Betrayed"), the film follows Babi (Giovanna Lancellotti), a successful accountant soon to be married, but feeling like she hasn't yet lived her life.

‘Baywatch’ star Pamela Anderson, whose ’90s glam became legendary all on its own, has been rocking a stripped-down look as of late. Pamela stuck to the basics throughout Paris Fashion Week, opting for a makeup-free style at several major shows, reports etonline.
“It’s all about self-acceptance,” Pamela told i-d magazine while attending Victoria Beckham’s runway show on September 29.
“This is the chapter of my life I’m trying to embrace now. Since I really walk out the door as me, I feel relief – a weight off my shoulders…. I’m dressing for me now, not for everybody else.”
Pamela shared her confidence-boosting mantra.
“You just have to understand that you’re good enough and that you are beautiful,” she noted.
“I like to say the word, ‘life-ing’ instead of aging. Chasing youth is just futile.”

Pamela Anderson tells her story in her own words for the first time on film in her new Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. The actor’s honesty about her life is “offensive” to some, according to a celebrity psychic. Here’s what the psychic and aura reader said about Anderson reclaiming her voice in the documentary and how it can negatively impact others.

Chicago – How about a Pamela-thon for Valentine’s Day? The 1990s sex symbol Pamela Anderson is going through a current revival with two TV works about her life and a major book release. Photographer Joe Arce of HollywoodChicago.com went through his archives and found four Exclusive Portraits of Pa from 2010.
The onrush of new material about Anderson began with the unauthorized Hulu miniseries, released a year ago, entitled “Pam & Tommy.” The series chronicled the turbulent three year marriage of Anderson and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, including the story of the illegal release of their infamous sex tape, and featured Lily James and Sebastian Stan in the title roles. In a counter move, 12 days ago Anderson released her new memoir “Love, Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry and Truth,” which combines her life story version with her poetry.

Following the release of her documentary and memoir, Pamela Anderson is opening up about her family’s response, working with Playboy and her previous controversial #MeToo comments.
In an Interview magazine story, published online Wednesday, the Baywatch actress defended her comments from a November 2017 interview with Megyn Kelly on the Today show, where she indicated that women need to protect themselves more, saying, “You know what you’re getting into when you go to a hotel room alone.”
“I could even take it a step further,” Anderson said in her recent interview. “My mother would tell me — and I think this is the kind of feminism I grew up with — it takes two to tango. Believe me, I’ve been in many situations where it’s like, ‘Come in here little girl, sit on the bed.’ But my mom would say, ‘If someone answers the door in a hotel robe...

Most people know about Pamela Anderson’s marriage to Tommy Lee, but many forget the Broadway star and activist has been married a few times and been in several high-profile relationships. One of Anderson’s husbands appears in the Netflix documentary Pamela, a love story, which premiered on Jan. 31, 2023.

Between the Netflix documentary “Pamela, A Love Story” and the memoir “Love, Pamela” from HarperCollins, Pamela Anderson has been spilling plenty of tea, including some embarrassing, ’90s-era anecdotes about Tim Allen and Sylvester Stallone. And while both actors have emphatically denied Anderson’s claims, director Ryan White is pushing back in defense of his leading lady.
“Of course, I totally believe Pamela because I think she’s always honest in everything — about her own shortcomings, but also about other people’s,” White tells Variety in response to Allen and Stallone’s denials. “That was our conversation at the beginning of this [process]. She was, ‘I spent so much of my life protecting other people. And I’m not I’m trying not to do that as much anymore.’”
Anderson’s candor has ruffled feathers. In the memoir, which hits shelves Tuesday, she says that Allen flashed her on the set of “Home Improvement” in 1991. “[He was] completely naked,...

In one of the images, Pamela seductively lays atop of a giant orange flower wearing a white knit dress, styled with matching arm warmers and pointed-toe Pvc heels, as she holds a blue and purple watercolored shoulder bag.

In another stunning shot, the Barb Wire actress works the camera in a grey sleeveless top and matching pleated skirt with white...

“The bedroom was a set that just kept on giving,” says Ethan Tobman, the production designer for Hulu’s limited series “Pam & Tommy.” “Very early on I found a suite inside a luxury yacht. Something about the fact that these lives came undone on a boat, and the excess of the 90s, and the nouveau riche of Hollywood stardom that this couple experienced just brought me to this excessive bedroom on the water. I can’t believe I got to build a bed that was 24 feet wide and 16 feet deep.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

But during that time, they were very much in front of the camera,” says costume designer Kameron Lennox about the responsibility inherent in crafting the wardrobe for Hulu’s limited series “Pam and Tommy.” We talked to Lennox as part of our “Meet the Experts” costume designers panel.

If you Google Pamela Anderson right now, some of the first autocomplete results are "Pamela Anderson marriage," "Pamela Anderson kids," and "Pamela Anderson miscarriage." If Google didn't remove sexually explicit autocomplete predictions, chances are "Pamela Anderson sex tape" would be on the list as well. Thanks to Hulu's recent "Pam & Tommy" miniseries starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan in the titular roles, the public's interest in Anderson's life has been reignited - especially surrounding the infamous release of her and then-husband Lee's explicit homemade videos against her will.
For the most part, "Pam & Tommy" is an accurate retelling of Anderson and Lee's story. It recounts how, in 1995, Rand Gauthier - a jilted electrician Lee fired - stole a safe from the couple's Malibu, CA, home after Lee refused to pay him for his services. Gauthier figured he could sell the valuables inside to recoup what he was owed,...

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for “Destroyer of Worlds,” Episode 7 of “Pam & Tommy,” now streaming on Hulu.
While “Pam and Tommy” has given quite an intense peek into the life of Pamela Anderson, there isn’t a closer examination at her career ups and downs than Episode 7, the second one directed by Lake Bell.
First, there’s the promotion of her 1996 movie, “Barb Wire,” during which Anderson (portrayed by Lily James) was interrogated by the press about her sex tape with Tommy Lee, instead of her acting. The Hulu series allowed the recreation of the film — which meant they brought in some of the original stars, including Clint Howard.
“That was the stuff of dreams,” Bell says. “Everyone were such great sports, to be honest, because in the scene that we chose, the original actors were kind of like, ‘Yeah, I’ll come in!’ They just had a...

In the wake of the #FreeBritney movement and the public reckoning with how the world treated Monica Lewinsky, now is the prime time for reassessments of some of pop culture's biggest scandals. Netflix is currently set to make a documentary on Anna Nicole Smith, and Hulu's ongoing limited series "Pam & Tommy" have many rethinking their views on how we treated beautiful, blonde, women in the 1990s.

When hairstylist Barry Lee Moe took on the job of turning Sebastian Stan into Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, he thought a wig would help embody the 1990s rocker’s look. But for Hulu’s limited series “Pam & Tommy,” which premieres Feb. 2 on Hulu, Stan wanted the freedom to touch his hair and feel it. “He wanted it to feel lived in,” explains Moe.
Since these conversations were occurring months before filming, Moe asked Stan to grow out his hair so they could move forward without a wig and get the perfect cut and color. He took Stan to Harper Salon on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles to get his hair treated with a Brazilian straightening process. “We did that to eliminate his texture because his was different from Tommy’s,” says Moe.

2019 was an unparalleled year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which became the first film franchise to release three separate billion-dollar grossing entries in a single year, and the first franchise to cross the $18 billion milestone on its way to a staggering $22 billion haul by year’s end. It also brought us the highest-grossing movie of all-time with Avengers: Endgame‘s squeaking past James Cameron’s 2009 effort Avatar with a worldwide gross of $2.7978 billion.
Captain Marvel, the first of those billion-dollar releases, was ironically, if only barely, the lowest grossing film of the three. Certainly not the first to feature an eponymous female superhero, the pic was the latest in a long, inconsistent line of such movies, including Patty Jenkins’ hugely popular 2017 film Wonder Woman and Pitof Comer’s notorious 2004 Razzie “winner” Catwoman, as well as 2005’s Elektra and Æon Flux, 1996’s Barb Wire, 1995’s Tank Girl, and 1984’s Supergirl.

As Corpse Club listeners know, we're big fans of all things Alien here on Daily Dead, and like a lot of fans, we're fascinated by the production behind one of the more divisive entries in the franchise, Alien 3. In the ’80s, author William Gibson was approached to write a screenplay for the third film, and while his story never came to fruition on screen, Gibson's version will soon come to life on the paneled page in a five-issue comic book series from Johnnie Christmas and Dark Horse:
Press Release: Milwaukie, Ore.,—An Alien blockbuster is coming to a comic shop near you when Dark Horse Comics brings William Gibson’s original, unproduced Alien 3 script to life with the help of writer and artist Johnnie Christmas. While Gibson was a contributor in the early phase of the writing for Alien 3, ultimately most of his concepts never made it into the final film.
