My guest this week is Alexis Langlois, director of the film Queens of Drama — a musical love story about two performers who enter a forbidden romance behind the scenes of a pop-star competition. Alexis has been making films with a troupe of irregulars for years, inspired by John Waters' Dreamlanders and the recurring actors in the films of David Lynch. His style is scrappy, independent, political, and very queer … so you can imagine his surprise when he was invited to present his latest work at Cannes.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First — if you've been watching the latest season of Drag Race All Stars, you've seen Bosco and Irene the Alien absolutely stealing the show with great looks, funny banter, and a mischievous friendship. And you can get even more of that Irene and Bosco magic — having an absolute riot playing Dungeons & Dragons. A couple years ago Bosco and Irene joined me and my partner James for a D&D adventure, and we just posted the full audio for you to check out. Over six hours of these two drag stars on a fun, chaotic fantasy romp. You don't need to know anything about D&D to listen — it's basically like an audiobook that you can put on to enjoy while you're doing something else. I think you'll love it — Here's a link: https://youtu.be/rD8tJTtAMYA And if you're enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you'll consider supporting the show on Patreon. You may also enjoy my YouTube videos about the making of iconic movies and TV shows. I have a new video out now about the British sitcom Vicious, starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi. And check out my weekly livestreams on Twitch, my book Hi Honey, I'm Homo!, and my free email newsletter. There's links to all that in the episode shownotes, and at MattBaume.com.
This week kicks off our 4 weeks of Holiday movies! We begin with John Waters' Christmas classic, "Female Trouble." We discuss the appeal of the film that may not be obvious, and the shoestring production of the film. We then dive into the plot and discuss the scenes we loved most. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a duo of double bills!Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44
Barbara Hand Clow joins us with a devastating look at once into the distant past when a great civilization was overtaken by a catastrophe so tremendous that it left us in a state of amnesia and ushered in a dark age known as the Kali Yuga. Then she shifts into the present, drawing on her Cherokee ancestry and her own powerful channeled information from her personal Pleiadian connection, she lays out her expectations for the future and details how we can both protect ourselves and raise our consciousness in response to what is about to happen.
Hairspray & Polyester. This week, we watch the films that launched filth mongers John Waters, Divine, and the Dreamlanders into the mainstream. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Emilio, Madeline, and Julian welcome their first guest Anthony Hollock for a “Close-Up” on the life and work of the one and only Divine. For the final episode in their “Perceptions of Sanity” cycle, the group look at Divine's career-spanning collaboration with John Waters with a focus on Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Polyester, and Hairspray, while making some stops along the way to discuss turns in non-Waters films such as Lust in the Dust and Trouble in Mind. Hear them trace the arc of Divine's initial bombast to later subtlety, with myriad reactions along the way. Plus, why does Anthony feel like he's lived in a John Waters movie? What record does Pink Flamingos set for Julian? And who in the group was a “hair-hopper”?
Warm up the water in your tiny tin bathtub and pull out your pastel pedal pushers hat as we bebop into John Waters's Cry-Baby. Did Waters achieve the ultimate level of Postmodern metatextual campiness by creating a pastiche of his own film style here? Can the power of a quality goth accessory really change hearts and minds? Is this perhaps the best Willem Dafoe cameo ever? And is Kim McGuire, aka "Hatchet-Face", basically the biggest badass who ever lived? We'll let you know after this sloppy, sloppy make-out session.
"Without all of you, my career could never have gotten this far. Ha ha ha ha ha! It was you that I burn for, and it is you that I will die for. Please remember, I love every fucking one of you!" After PINK FLAMINGOS' runaway success on the Midnight Movie circuit, it was time for John Waters to create his follow-up. He reconvened with his regular crew of Dreamlanders and created FEMALE TROUBLE, a trash epic that portrays the life and times of Dawn Davenport (played by Divine in a quintessential performance), tracking her progression from teenage brat to juvenile delinquency and, ultimately, mass murder. In this episode, we tell the full story of how FEMALE TROUBLE came to be, from its inception, all the way through its tumultuous filming, release, and all of the controversy that came along with it.

"One must remember that there is such a thing as good bad taste and bad bad taste." — John Waters In our new series, John Waters: Divine Filth, we'll be exploring the stories behind Waters' early films, specifically the films made during the years when he collaborated with his muse, the legendary drag performer Divine. During the nearly two decades that they made films together, Waters' films moved from the fringes, with underground short films like HAG IN A BLACK LEATHER JACKET and EAT YOUR MAKEUP, to the multiplexes, with their mainstream breakthrough HAIRSPRAY. In this episode, we'll tell the story of Waters' early years growing up in Baltimore, how he began making films with likeminded misfits (his regular troupe of cast and crew, The Dreamlanders), and through the production of his first narrative feature of note, MULTIPLE MANIACS.

Sean Comer and Mark Radulich present their The Trash Trilogy John Waters Movie Review.Waters's early campy movies present exaggerated characters in outrageous situations with hyperbolic dialogue. Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble and Desperate Living, which he labeled the Trash Trilogy, pushed hard at the boundaries of conventional propriety and censorship.John Samuel Waters Jr. (born April 22, 1946) is an American filmmaker, writer, actor, and artist. He rose to fame in the early 1970s for his transgressive cult films. They include Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972) and Female Trouble (1974). He wrote and directed the comedy film Hairspray (1988), which became an international success and was later adapted into a hit Broadway musical and a 2007 musical film. He has written and directed other films. Those films include Polyester (1981), Cry-Baby (1990), Serial Mom (1994), Pecker (1998), and Cecil B. Demented (2000). These movies contain elements of post-modern comedy and surrealism. Waters often worked with actor and drag queen Divine and his regular cast of the Dreamlanders.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsosnapchat: markkind76FB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulich
Kamikaze gets a mean case of Baltimore crabs while wading through the gutters of Charm City, where he traces the origin stories of John Waters and the Dreamlanders.He is then joined by Darren Stein, director of the cult classic Jawbreaker, to talk about the pleasures of amorality and the struggles of growing up gay surrounded by squares.After that, another kooky Californian, performance artist Dynasty Handbag, hops aboard the degenerate express to ponder the lasting impact of the Dreamlanders, the concept of failed femininity, and unorthodox strategies of building queer community.About Pure GarbageHe goes by many names. The Sultan of Sleaze…the Baron of Bad Taste… The Pope of Trash and The Prince of Puke…John Waters is the undisputed maestro of American filth, a living legend whose groundbreaking contributions to cinema, literature, television, and art have paved the way for devout legions of perverts across the globe.

John Ramirez is a 25-year CIA officer now retired. On October 1 of last year, he gave Dreamlanders detailed information about how to file Freedom of Information Act requests that actually work, and talked about how the intelligence community handles UFO information (or doesn't.) Since that first appearance, he has given many interviews, so what does he have left to say?When Whitley asks the questions, A LOT!John begins with an amazing report on Russian efforts to draw a UFO into landing, and exactly what they accomplished in this process, and the technology that they used to do it. Then he explains how the Airborne Object Identification Management Synchronizing Group will work and whether or not it will provide new public information.And then there follows an INCREDIBLE discussion between John and Whitley about things like UFO propulsion and what appear to be speculations not only about how they are powered but how they are controlled. Or are they “speculations” very much in quotes? Neither man says.And if that wasn't enough, THEN we go on into John's own close encounter experiences.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comClick the free link below and get the show On Demand and listen to any of Whitley Strieber 's programs whenever you like 'On Demand' here: https://www.spreaker.com/.../dreamland-with-whitley...Tune in to all of our LIVE Programs, FREE! https://paranormal.radio/program/the_un_x_networkhttp://UnXnetwork.com

Tim Rogers (on Jack Ladder and the Dreamlanders - 'Hijack!' album release) Interview by Jamie Green on Radio One 91fm Dunedin
It's been a decade since the release of Hurtsville by Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders, which means that it's a good time for birthday celebrations. In the Drawing Room, Timothy Rogers looks back at a decade on the road and opens up about a complicated 2020.
PsychotroniCast concludes it’s 70’s John Waters Series with 1977’s Desperate Living. Dreamlander Mink Stole plays Peggy Gravel, a psychotic house wife who, with the help of her maid, Grizelda Brown (Played by Jean Hill) murder her husband and embark on a journey to their new lives that await them in Mortville. John Waters really lets his freak flag fly with Mortville. An off the grid society populated by homeless burnouts who are ruled by a fascist queen named Carlotta, played by Dreamlander Edith Massey whose leather daddy gestapo rule with an iron fist!Sadly, with the death of David Lochary prior to the production of Desperate Living, plus the absence of Devine due to scheduling conflicts, Waters casts Liz Renay and Susan Lowe to provide the filth. Their valiant effort does not go unnoticed, but the absence of the two most important Dreamlanders is felt.
PsychotroniCast continues it's 70's John Waters Series with possibly the greatest coming of age story ever put on film! When a teenage Dawn Davenport doesn't get her cha cha heels for Christmas, the world suffers... as it should! We follow Dawn on her journey through life as: a mother, cat burger, prostitute, and fashion model. Where it all ends up, is purely John Waters gold.Female Trouble also gives us one last look at the brilliant and insane David Lochary, whose death would follow shortly after the release of this film. This is the Dreamlanders last ensemble piece. What an electric way to go out!
49 years ago today, John Waters and his troop of Dreamlanders unleashed what is undoubtedly the filthiest movie in the world. Lead by a legendary star making performance from Divine who proves she will go to lengths unimaginable to achieve the perfect scene. Accompanied by her son Crackers (Danny Mills), glamorous traveling companion Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce) and her mother The Egg Lady (Edith Massey), Divine will combat her greatest adversaries Raymond and Conny Marble (David Lochary and Mink Stole) in a shocking battle to prove who is truly the filthiest person alive! On its way to becoming one of the biggest midnight movies in history and one of the most memorable of cult films Pink Flamingos would challenge censorship around the globe (and usually losing), but that hasn’t stopped it from triggering, traumatizing, and tickling depraved audiences for nearly half a century, while managing to lose none of its shock value or hilarity over the years.
For the first time, Dreamland adds a video feed for both subscribers and free Dreamlanders. In future, as many Dreamlands as possible will include video feeds. This very extraordinary edition of the show features entrepreneur and scientist Mark Sims, who, like Dreamland guests Deep Prasad and Ed Belbruno bring their
Decades before becoming a beloved elder statesman and the darling of Broadway with Hairspray, John Waters and his troop of Dreamlanders ushered in the 1970’s with their first all talking feature film Multiple Maniacs! Taking inspiration from the thriving art and underground film scene from the era, as well as healthy doses of radical politics, deranged Hollywood glamour and the drive-in movie shock value of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Waters was setting the stage for a series of midnight movies that featured acts so limitlessly tasteless the censors had been too unimaginative and unprepared to previously outlaw. You will be shocked by the degenerates in Lady Divine’s Cavalcade of Perversion. You will puke as you witness the Stations of the Cross as never before. You will forever quake with fear whenever you encounter a lobster.

Together, the three of them discuss the Dreamlanders, assorted meats, their favourite quotes and sickening moments, and maybe... Just maybe learn a little thing or two about love along the way. *** Below, we've included links to support Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights and Livelihood Fisheries as well as Black Lives Matter (BLM).

Pretty in Pink (Berlin Mix) - The Psychedelic Furs Notes and other random things: A couple weeks back I left a note at the top of my podcast explaining my current bandwidth situation. In short, I pretty much use up my monthly allotment within the first couple days of each month anymore ... and I blame you all! No, really. I do. But, as I said then, it's a great problem to have and I'm so very thankful that you guys tune in like you do to hear these classic retro dance tunes on a frequent basis. The only drawback is that PodOMatic has become pretty strict about allowing DJs to post new episodes if they have gone beyond their bandwidth limitations. What does that mean exactly? Well, first it means I had to change the sub-title of my Podcast. Since its inception I have used the subhead: "An (almost) weekly retro dance experiment." With my current busy schedule, "almost weekly" was a stretch even using a qualifier such as "almost". Now, my window of opportunity is even smaller than before. As such, I altered the subhead to: "80s and 90s retro dance adventures of a boy and a cheap mixer." It's probably a better descriptor anyway as I'm a boy and I own a cheap mixer. Second, it means unless I can scrounge up the roughly $250 per year PodOMatic charges for the next tier of bandwidth, I'm going to be saddled with this problem for the foreseeable future. Third, it means you'll probably be seeing a PayPal donation button appearing on my page very soon. I had the option to remove it in the beginning, which I did, but I'll probably put it back up there in case any of you would like to chip in towards an account upgrade. I don't make any money doing this, nor did I intend to, but I also didn't anticipate the amazing response I've received thus far either. Fourth, I'm also looking into placing some Google AdSense ads onto my page. I know, I think it cheapens everything and makes me look desperate, but if I can convince you guys to click on them when you visit my page, it might go far in helping me upgrade my account, which means I can provide retro goodness to you on a more frequent basis. I should point out that neither begging for donations nor begging for clicks are desirable options, but doing only one new Podcast per month isn't really an attractive option either. All in all, I haven't yet decided how I'm going to handle my current situation, but I'm sure it will become clear as we move closer to 2012. I just wanted you all to be aware of what's transpiring right now. I can say from reading the forum posts that many other podcasters share my predicament and are none too happy because ultimately it's the listeners, the lifeblood of our shows, who end up getting shortshrifted. So, my apologies to everyone on that front. Okay, now that that's out of the way, I can catch you up on some of the artists in this episode. In the meantime, I hope to have another new episode up very soon. Hang tight! Let's start with Harris Glenn Milstead, better known as Divine. This is Divine's first appearance on CRC. I've shied away from his work over the past year and a half so far because I just couldn't find a good segueway for it. Well, that and his stuff is pretty crappy. It's highly derivative schlock that anyone other than a flamboyant drag queen wouldn't be able to get away with. I mean, this is the same guy who somehow got industrial record label Wax Trax! to release his version of The Name Game song (you know: Tintin, Tintin, bo-bintin, Banana fana fo Fintin, Fe fi mo-minton, Tintin!) But this is Divine we're talking about and you'd expect nothing less from a member of John Waters' "Dreamlanders" troupe ... and he delivered every time! I guess that sounds a little harsh if it weren't really the point. Heck, it was Waters, the guy who aspired to make the "trashiest motion pictures in cinema history", who gave Divine his name and enlisted him as the lead in several of his soon-to-be cult films. Those appearances piqued Divine's lust for more fame and fortune, which he would find at the start of the 80s when he delved into the club scene. His "act" consisted of yelling "f*ck you!" at the audience and getting into fisticuffs with a fellow drag queen. In a way, Jerry Springer owes his entire television career to Divine! Pairing up with composer and record producer Bobby Orlando, Divine's live spectacles began to include disco numbers including the song Love Reaction, which appears here. His growing popularity on the club circuit spawned world tours even though Divine admitted at the time not being able to sing a lick as you'll witness first-hand. Orlando had gone about producing an entire album and touring before Divine had even mastered the lyrics. But that didn't stop him as Divine thought that if porn stars could have successful stints in the studio (I'm guessing he meant The Andrea True Connection and that ilk) why couldn't he? Really, though, the music was secondary to the trash, which is perhaps why Divine has been a secondary thought so far on CRC compared to other artists whose focus was the music. Still Love Reaction was the third single to chart on the Dutch Singles Chart and peaked at #25. It also spent 7 weeks on the German Singles Chart peaking at #55. And if you can't quite get enough of New Order's Blue Monday, this is basically the version Divine would have recorded had he been the lead singer, so there's that. Next up is Donna Summer. Though I don't like to discount the possibility of any artist showing up on CRC at any point, I can tell you now, with almost complete certitude, that this will probably be her only appearance. It has nothing to do with her persona or a patent dislike for her music, except for the fact the bulk of her career occurred in the 70s and her hardcore disco sound doesn't exactly fit with what I'm trying to do here. Technically though, Our Love was released in '79, but didn't find massive success until the 12" version was released in 1980. From there it sold over a million copies. The track appeared on Summer's seventh album called Bad Girls, which became her best-selling album of all time as it spawned six different singles including the title track and Hot Stuff. One of the key contributors to Our Love and the Bad Girls album as a whole? Giorgio Moroder (of course!) Moving from Summer to Sumner, New Order's Everything's Gone Green would seem an odd choice to mix into Our Love until you hear the similar electronic undertones. At that point it becomes more of a logical (and rather nifty, if I may say so) choice. In fact (or factus for you New order junkies), New Order have cited Donna Summer as an inspiration for their own work. According to lead singer Bernard Sumner, Blue Monday was heavily influenced by four tracks in particular: Dirty Talk, by Klein + M.B.O.; You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) by Sylvester; Our Love, by Donna Summer; and Uranium by Kraftwerk. As for Everything's Gone Green, it was released originally in 1981, peaking at #3 on the UK Independent Singles Chart and #34 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart. It is supposedly the first New Order track to contain computer-generated sounds and the last of the band's tracks to be produced by Martin Hannett. The song is also responsible for a major labeling gaffe. That's because the b-sides, Cries and Whispers and Mesh, were listed correctly on the record, but in reverse order on the record sleeve. The mistake led to several misidentifications on subsequent New Order album releases. For instance, the song Mesh appears as the third track on disc 2 of the Substance compilation, but should be credited as Cries and Whispers. Strangely, the real Mesh does appear on the cassette version of the album. Pretty dorky, stuff, eh? But where else are you going to find this kind of juicy information ... except maybe on the internet. The lead track, Sea-Missile Motel, by Moev was the first track on their Dusk and Desire album, which was released in 1985. Originally formed in 1981 by keyboardist/percussionist Tom Ferris and keyboardist/vocalist Cal Stephenson, the band released their debut album, Zimmerkampf, in 1982, but was forced to find a new label after San Francisco-based Go! Records went under the following year. Interestingly, in 1984, band member Mark Jowett and manager Terry McBride formed Nettwerk Records in McBride's apartment as a way to release new Moev material. As many of you know, Nettwerk has attained worldwide success in the years since and is home to a musically diverse line-up of artists from Sarah McLachlan to Skinny Puppy. The band went through several personnel changes in the early going, but settled on Michela Arrichiello as lead vocalist during the years surrounding Dusk and Desire and she is the voice you'll hear on this track. Bassist/drummer Kelly Cook, vocalist Dean Russell and keyboardist/percussionist Anthony Valcic would eventually replace many of the early members and would form what is considered to be the classic Moev line-up. In 1988, their highly successful Yeah Whatever album spawned their best-known track, Crucify Me, which, unlike Donna Summer, I can assure you will appear in CRC at some point down the road. Label mates Manufacture further exemplify the eccentricity that graced the Nettwerk Records musical stable. Formed in 1984 by Brian Bothwell and Perry Geyer, the group was originally created as a soundtrack company, making experimental music and video. After performing in front of live audiences, the duo eventually became a band. In 1987, they were signed to Nettwerk and were commissioned to make two full-length albums as well as a variety of 12" dance singles. The song here, New Decisions, comes from the second album, World Control. It was a bit more pop-friendly than their debut, Terrorvision, though Sarah McLachlan did perform vocal honors on the great track, As the End Draws Near. Believe it or not, that song eventually was awarded a platinum single in Canada when it appeared on her album, B Sides, Rarities, and other Stuff. For the record, Brian Bothwell continues to work in the film and video field and also works as a Photographer in New York City. Meanwhile, Perry Geyer continues to produce music and owns and operates CyberSound Studios in Boston and New York City. That's all for this episode. Thanks for listening! Cheers! Note as of 12-18-11: Hello, once again! I'm sending out these notes as a way to fill in the long gap left by my lack of posting a recent episode and as a way to keep you up-to-date on my status. For all the gory details of my recent podcasting travails, read the previous two entries in red below. Despite all the seemingly unfortunate news, this note is to let everyone know I have recorded a new podcast and it's ready to post once my bandwidth resets again in just a few days! (For all the gory details about bandwidth, you can also read below.) Anyway, hang tough, gang - the light at the end of the tunnel is rapidly approaching and I think you're going to find the new podcast was worth the wait. In it there are a LOT of great tunes that you probably have not heard before, plus some very different versions of a couple of old classics. Again, thanks for your patience! DJ Tintin Note as of 12-05-11: Hi, all. Well, what a long, strange hard drive breaking down, no computer for two weeks trip it has been. I am happy to report that I have my computer back and it appears to be functioning just fine. The good news is I can get back to podcasting. The bad news is I have gone over my bandwidth for December already! The good news is I have tracks all selected for my next episode and will record it this week. The bad news I probably won't be able to post it right away. The good news is I will begin work on subsequent podcasts so that when my bandwidth resets once again I can hopefully post several episodes at once. The bad news is I'm hungry so I need to go get something to eat. The good news is you won't have to read anymore of this drivel! You all are the best audience anywhere and I fully appreciate the support and your saint-like patience. Hell, if I were you I probably would have quit listening to me by now. But then I would have changed my mind and would have started listening to me more than ever! Gee, what a swell guy I'd be if I were you. Cheers! Note as of 11-28-11: I meant to post a new episode this past weekend. I really did. Unfortunately, the hard drive on my computer gave out and I'm currently in the process of getting it replaced. Installing a new hard drive is no big deal, but it's trying to save all the data on the old one that is taking some time. The good news is I hope to have my computer back today or maybe tomorrow. The bad news is that I'm already halfway to my bandwidth limit for the month and we're only 4 days in. I just have to hope I can find time to record before I reach my ceiling. Again, I apologize to everyone for the lack of a new episode over the past month. Thanksgiving holidays + no bandwidth + broken hard drive = not good. Hang with me just a little longer! Everything should be back to normal shortly. Cheers, DJ Tintin
