Strip clubs sell the dream of financial freedom, empowerment, and an intoxicating nightlife, but behind the flashing lights and VIP rooms, the reality is far more complicated. This week, Amanda and Chelsea are joined by special guest Luna Sofia Miranda (@luna_sofia_miranda), actress in Anora and dancer, to dive into the world of strip clubs, not just as spaces of entertainment, but as intricate ecosystems built on power, control, and illusion. Are dancers truly their own bosses? How do societal stigma and club culture shape the way we perceive this multi-billion-dollar industry? Join us as we unravel the cult-like influence of strip clubs and the contradictions that make them both liberating and entrapping.
