Stripping on TV
For most people the strip club is few and far between experience, or never. Yet strip clubs manage to be on so many shows and movies! I always am curious to see how they are depicted. I am watching the CLASSIC Cusack-Cage masterpiece “Frozen Ground” currently, which is set in Alaska, where I have never been.
I also am still in St. Louis and was talking to a customer about the show “Ozark,” which has several scenes inside a strip club in Lake of the Ozarks.
Usually what I notice is no one is fat, they all have big boobs, they all have beautiful faces. They usually suck at all things dancing, and they usually wear outfits that are a little more lingerie-ish than stripperish. On “Ozark,” they have real strippers, fyi, game recognize game. But when I was talking to this customer about the show he told me there are strip clubs there but they aren’t as nice as on the show.
Probably the same thing for cops, lawyers, nurses etc when they watch shows about their job lol.

I have been in two professions that are often depicted in movies are on TV. It’s usually pretty cringe worthy to see.
“Probably the same thing for cops, lawyers, nurses etc when they watch shows about their job lol.”
- I’d say drug dealers too, how many TV shows glamorize drug dealers and in the episode they always go down in flames at the end or have some sort of moral rationalization and do some good.
Interesting take on the drug dealers. That definitely is a job that’s frequently covered by tv/movies too. I have known two drug dealers ever. One was just someone who lived in my building where we all owned our units and he got kicked out by the HOA for illegal activities. The other was murdered and left in the woods before being found 2 months later. I definitely think these both fit the ‘down in flames’ narrative. 😬
I didn’t find the strippers at all attractive. The boob jobs were horribly huge and overdone. And most tried to hard to be attractive and they just came off as borderline ugly especially in the early seasons.
If that’s what New Jersey strippers look like, I’m pass.
The last couple of years, if you watch closely, they changed. Much more attractive with natural bodies

I remember it was kinda a burlesque interpretation of a club, but I wish more clubs IRL played this song:

They were Cuban dancers. :)
The Wrestler has great strip club scenes. Marisa Tomei is great as the unrequited love interest of Mickey Rourke.
There is an odd - but intense - strip club scene in Leaving Las Vegas.
I liked the strip club as a subplot in the Sopranos. That club (Satin Dolls) likely still gets some tourist traffic from the show. I still find it funny the sign for Satin Dolls is right near the party store next to it - Party Box.
There were interesting strip club scenes in the mainstream TV show NYPD Blue. One of the girls was pretty hot - before she got knocked off (and I think the young detective got knocked off too).
Striptease was fun. Demi Moore looked good in that film. Burt Reynolds was very funny too.
I saw the scene and recognized her and her signature dancing moves, full splits, she was very “bendy”
