Magic Mike – Bumps, Banter, and Brooding Dreams
Manage episode 490409822 series 3606235
In this steamy, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt episode of Almost Classic Movies, Jon and Donald are joined by returning guest Daniel (whose first appearance was lost to the editing abyss) to unpack Magic Mike (2012), the Soderbergh film that’s more than just abs and glitter.
What starts as a deep dive into a male stripper movie turns into a layered discussion about ambition, capitalism, gendered expectations, and how charisma can (almost) make up for a lack of furniture-building capital.
