Basic Instinct (1992) | Bad Movie Night

On Bad Movie Night, we look at a film critics or audiences have deemed a “bad movie”, but we enjoyed. This month, we’re discussing the greatest Valentine’s Day date movie ever, Basic Instinct! From leg-crossing, to idiot cops, to aggressive sexual positions, to a battle of the hotness between Catherine Tremell and Beth Garner, to the complete lack of interest the film has in DNA evidence: this is one podcast you do NOT want to miss!

A former rock star, Johnny Boz, is brutally killed during sex, and the case is assigned to detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) of the SFPD. During the investigation, Nick meets Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), a crime novelist who was Boz’s girlfriend when he died. Catherine proves to be a very clever and manipulative woman, and though Nick is more or less convinced that she murdered Boz, he is unable to find any evidence. Later, when Nilsen, Nick’s rival in the police, is killed, Nick suspects of Catherine’s involvement in it. He then starts to play a dangerous lust-filled mind game with Catherine to nail her, but as their relationship progresses, the body count rises and contradicting evidences force Nick to start questioning his own suspicions about Catherine’s guilt.
