Small Talk: The Champagne Room

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

• Character topics
• Spoiler topics
• Comparison topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a movie that reminded me a bit of P Valley. Not as poetic, but some of the new American realism and its about a stripper road trip that goes bad. Based on a true story. Movie is called Zola and its worth checking out, especially once we all go into withdrawal once the season ends.

Zola is a mess....that I enjoyed thoroughly! Definitely P-Valley adjacent. It's actually based on one of the first viral tweet threads (twitter threads? I never know the right terminology.).

I stumbled across Zola about halfway through and then rewatched the entire thing. Then I found out that it was an epic tweet based on true events. I’ve been cogitating on ideas for new American realism and neo-noir so both Zola and PValley have been amazing to watch. Not that Zola is a patch on PValley but its making me think.

I loved “Zola”! It a was better than I expected it to be. I’m a fan of any kind of stripper/sex worker stories though. 
Has anyone else seen “Dancing at the Blue Iguana”? It’s an indie drama from 2000  that follows the dancers (at a primarily white L.A. club) home and explores their lives. Not as entertaining as P. Valley, but there’s some thematic similarity.

I also love “The Player’s Club”-  it’s become a camp classic like “Showgirls”.

I remember when Dancing at the Blue Iguana came out but I never saw it. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll make a point of catching it. :)

Yeah, I'll have to check out Dancing at the Blue Iguana too. I've seen the others but am also a sucker for stories about strippers/sex workers.

I find it hilarious that Netflix has The Player's Club categorized as a "dance movie". People looking for something similar to Step Up, Save the Last Dance, or Center Stage will be in for a surprise!
