Gina Gershon

Peak Sloth — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:08:29 EDT

Whether you’re watching Showgirls, Face/Off, Bound or one of her countless other films, one thing you can be sure of is that when Gina Gershon shows up on a movie screen, she’s not taking any crap from anyone.

It’s no surprise then that she also doesn’t suffer fools in her personal life. And her new memoir, AlphaPussy, offers stories and advice to guide others on how to navigate the world as she does.

We talk to Gershon about the book, working with Robert Altman on The Player and her battles with Paul Verhoeven while filming Showgirls. And we also get to see the AlphaPussy in action as she lets us know how frustrated she got attempting to sign into our video chat.

This week’s music:

Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
