I feel like some shows get it right, and some really don't. I was a fan of Satisfaction. m.imdb.com
What do you guys think? Fun and accurate? Or bad and misrepresented. What shows/movies do it well?

last commentTracy Morgan on 30 Rock made me realize clubs even had a day shift option.
Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother made being a strip club regular look cool as hell.
But Pussy Valley on Starz, although dramatized, kinda captures the vibes of a black club in the south.
Haven’t heard of Satisfaction, though. Might have to check it out!

High class and brothel are oxymorons

TV and movies portray nothing correctly. In every single scene I have ever seen, people shooting craps, are fucking yelling come on 7. I also know that if I took $25.00 to a craps table in any casino on earth and never rolled a 7, that eventually I would own the casino because I could never lose. Never. 7 sucks. Never ever want to see a 7 again.

No matter the setting, it's always hard to make non-boring fiction but only take minimal artistic license. Center of the World ( imdb.com , free on tubi.com ) is one about stripper - PL interaction that I remember as the most realistic.

From the title I thought you might be talking about strip clubs in movies and TV, which are often portrayed as full of wild, whooping men throwing bills at the dancers.

I’m ok with Hollywood’s portrayals generally. I’m ok with the straight world not knowing that a lot of guys going to strip clubs are looking for and getting cheap sex.

It varies. Some of it, Metallica 's video for Turn the Page, is embarrassing. Others, like Californication or The Sopranos were all right.

My favorite unusual stripper portrayal is in the From Dusk til Dawn movie which has a Mexican vampire stripper dancing with a snake around her neck.
