This week, we're reminding you that Jennifer Lawrence once starred in a failed franchise starter called "Red Sparrow" in which she plays an impoverished ballerina who is recruited to become a spy for the Russian government. But before that, we're taking you all back to the halcyon days of 1997 for one of Ridley Scott's rare box office misfires, "G.I. Jane." A movie that was once prominently known for being the movie in which Demi Moore shaved her head before disappearing into obscurity, has found a second life courtesy of a now infamous slap.
Are these girlboss thrillers better than their muted reputation suggests? Will a major studio ever make another big budget adult spy thriller with a bonafide movie star?

And most importantly, when will somebody make some nice Whore School merch we can wear?
