Part 2 picks up where we left off in Part 1. Marga had just arrived in San Francisco and lived in a collective house with a lesbian and two gay men ("of course, the decorations were fabulous"). It was a bit of a party house, known for throwing spectacular Halloween fests. Marga talks about collective living, chore charts and stuff like that. Eventually, the woman Marga drove across country with split from her, as so often happens (I certainly relate). Everyone who lived in that first house, she says, was into rolfing and coffee enemas. Marga wasn't too keen on any of it. The meals were vegetarian and bland, and perhaps most importantly for her, not Cuban. Her roommates gave painful hugs and held hands before they ate. It just wasn't her scene. And so she found work in a Hippie coffeehouse called Acme Cafe on 24th Street. All her coworkers there were performers. She was just happy to make omelettes. Underground celebrities like R. Crumb and John Waters came in regularly, and Marga loved it. Her fellow cafe employees, many of whom were artists, would ask her, “So, what do you do?” And she would answer, “I make omelettes.” She also worked at a bath house on Market called Finilla's Finnish Baths. Marga's job there was to hand out towels to spa-goers. She later learned that the owner sexually abused and exploited workers there, mostly the masseuses. A perk of her job, though, was access to the steam sauna, and Marga took advantage of that as much as she could. That sauna room also served as a meeting space for a group of older women. One of them, an older Mexican woman, would leave her Chihuahua in the lobby while she steamed, the idea being that Marga would take care of the dog. Eventually, Ms. Montoya got 86'd from the bathhouse for steaming flour tortillas in the sauna on the hot stones. Another regular, a famous singer whom Marga won't name, was kicked out for a different reason. Marga takes a sidebar to explain what a “primal scream” is. Then she takes us back to the sauna and the famous singer, who proceeded one day to launch into her own primal scream. Marga describes other women from the sauna running out frantically. Meanwhile, she says, over in the men's sauna, “there was a different kind of screaming.” She goes on another sidebar about the time she got crabs at the bathhouse. You just have to listen to that one. Marga also had a job as a gardener at a house in Pac Heights, despite not loving that kind of work. She shares a story of using the “servant's bathroom” on that job and discovering that she had crabs. Then the conversation shifts to Marga's next show—Spanish Stew. It will be her 15th one-person show, which she began developing at The Marsh here in The City, where she did her first-ever one-person show back in the day. The New Conservatory Theater Center commissioned the show, which is set in 1976 San Francisco, the year that Marga landed here. It's also about cooking, something near and dear to her heart. Marga points out that the New Conservatory Theater Center recently lost its NEA funding thanks to the fascist US regime, but that the community is helping keep the theater afloat. Please go see this show. I know I will. It opens October 17, 2025. For more info and to buy tickets, please visit Marga's website. Follow her on Instagram @themargagomez to keep up with everything she does and says. This episode is brought to you by Standard Deviant Brewing.

Alas, we have neared the end of our exclusive "FEMALE" August season, and we've taken this chance to usher in this close with a special guest. Laura and Ryan know next to nothing about the work of John Waters, which is both abhorrent and indicative of our glaring ignorance. That's why we invited Josh, who basically said we should have invited someone else if we wanted to talk about John Waters. Either way, enjoy this deepish dive into FEMALE TROUBLE and the revelation we'll be uncovering far more of his work in the future!
Tricia Cooke is having her moment, and it's been a long time coming. Together with partner Ethan Coen, she's made last years DRIVE AWAY DOLLS and the new HONEY DON'T from scripts written long ago. And in some ways, the seed for these very gay, very fun movies was planted by a modern classic of fun gay cinema: Jamie Babbit's BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. Tricia and Jordan talk about that film, the new one, and the weird juxtaposition of being free to make this once-"uncommercial" cinema in a time when queer freedoms feel so tenuous.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the forthcoming Stephen King adaptation, THE LONG WALK. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.
Keep an eye out for pussy willows and don't wear white after Labor Day because we're talking about John Waters' most "accessible" film, Serial Mom (1994).Featuring an all-time performance by Kathleen Turner and the usual Waters' stable, this satire of true crime and horror films is a great introduction for Dreamland novices.Plus: the best comedic bits, a primer on Patty Hearst, more of Trace's favorite Waters films, and why you *do not* want to mention Annie around Joe.Questions?

Voici un film coloré, gay, et fort bien coiffé, jʹai nommé Hairspray, de John Waters, une comédie sortie en 1988. Mais comment dire…. Hairspray est une réalisation du pape du mauvais goût, du cinéma trash américain, qui, ici, met de lʹeau dans son vin ou de la laque dans ses cheveux, pour proposer un film un peu plus familial que ses œuvres précédentes. Mais ça reste particulier. Hairspray est un film qui va vous interpeler. Déjà parce quʹil vous donnera envie de danser. Cʹest un film qui se moque des émissions de télévisées des années 60 où des jeunes gens, blancs si possibles et pas trop moches, se trémoussaient sur un Madison, un Mashed Patato, un Twist, ou toute autre danse du moment. Ensuite, parce quʹil résonne bizarrement. Derrière la danse, le glamour, les paillettes et les coupes de cheveux incroyables, se cachent des réalités sociales et sociétales que John Waters dénonce : le racisme et lʹexclusion des gens différents du paysage médiatique, en lʹoccurrence, mais également de tout un pan culturel contemporain. Les années 60 à Baltimore, la ville de John Waters, ne sont pas tendres pour les Afro-américains ni pour les obèses ou les personnes en surpoids. Hairspray est un film criard, avec des comédiens et comédiennes un peu brut de décoffrage, avec pas mal dʹartistes reconnus comme Sonny Bono, ex-compagnon de Cher, Debbie Harry, la chanteuse de Blondie, avec Ruth Brown, chanteuse, the Queen of R&B, avec Pia Zadora et plein de jeunes gens dont Ricki Lake qui interprète le personnage principal. Hairspray, premier film grand public de John Waters est aussi le dernier de Divine, son acteur fétiche, un travesti obèse décédé peu après. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des archives, des interviews, des extraits, et beaucoup de musique. Place à la critique sociale, au pastiche et à la danse dans Travelling. REFERENCES Growing Up with John Waters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SacAtnVccpI John Waters (& Divine) on Letterman, Part 1 of 3: 1982 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIPF8mk1a4Q Popopop A l'occasion de la parution de son autobiographie "M. Je sais tout", Antoine de Caunes et Charline Roux accueillent le réalisateur américain John Waters. https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/popopop/les-memoires-de-john-waters-5422415 John Waters, 'Mr. Know-it-all : The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder', New York, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019 Publié en français sous le titre M.

Cʹest un film pas tout à fait comme les autres qui nous permet dʹévoquer dʹun cinéaste pas tout à fait comme les autres. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! est un film américain de Russ Meyer, sorti en 1965. Russ Meyer vous le connaissez peut-être, cʹest le chantre de la sexploitation, un vrai cinéaste indépendant qui développe une esthétique particulière, très colorée, érotique, avec des contre-plongées magnifiques. Lʹhomme montre un amour certain pour les actrices à très forte poitrine et pour les décolletés dans lesquels on peut se perdre. Russ Meyer est considéré comme un auteur majeur du cinéma de série B à tendance X. Il a influencé de nombreux réalisateurs et artistes, que ce soit Andy Warhol ou John Waters. Quentin Tarantino est même son fan numéro 1. Russ Meyer est connu pour ses films Vixen, Supervixens, Up et Beneath The Valley of the Utlra-Vixens mais également pour Faster, Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill ! qui raconte lʹhistoire de trois femmes sauvages, dans trois voitures de sport, qui, avec violence, férocité, et sensualité, vont braquer un homme infirme et ses deux fils dans leur ranch, tout en ayant kidnappé et drogué la petite amie dʹun homme qui a eu le malheur de croiser leur chemin. Mettant en scène des actrices sulfureuses, dont la très iconique Tura Satana, le film séduit un public tant masculin que féminin. Car pour la première fois, à lʹécran, ce sont des femmes très fortes, véritables Virago, qui sont montrées, capables de plaquer au sol, de briser des vertèbres, de gagner au bras de fer, et qui sont fières de leur sexualité quʹelles exhibent comme une arme. Et ça plaît. Tant aux misogynes quʹaux féministes. Les féministes américaines en font, à lʹépoque, leur film étendard. Vous vous ferez votre propre opinion. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, nous allons parler de Russ Meyer, de Tura Satana, de Faster Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill. Nous parlons de films érotiques, sensuels. Vous verrez que Russ Meyer est souvent volontairement provocateur dans les archives. Mais tout va bien se passer. Enfin jʹespère. Puisque nous allons croiser la route de trois femmes, de trois furies, et le monde du cinéma changera radicalement.

Richie is joined by the author, journalist and broadcaster John Waters. Hundreds of Irish artists and musicians signed a petition to CANCEL a festival that aims to celebrate Irish culture, music, poetry and the Irish language. Yes, you read that right. The Mise Éire festival was scheduled to take place in Leitrim later this month, but the venue came under pressure from a woke mob and capitulated. The organisers have now secured a secret location for the event. John Waters will be attending and speaking at the festival and came on to discuss the implications of it all with Richie. https://miseeire.telltix.com/www.johnwaters.substack.com
Provincetown-based abstract photographer and art gallery director Grace Hopkins discusses her unique photography, the Provincetown art scene, visiting Wheeling during her childhood, and her upcoming memoir. Hopkins spills the tea on her John Waters run ins, gives her two cents on modern art, and dishes on her parents' abstract painter and author, Budd Hopkins, and art critic and curator, Dr. April Kingsley. Hopkins chimes in on her father's ex-wife Carol Rainey and Linda Napolitano's alleged alien abduction. Hopkins could not comment on the Netflix docu-series The Manhattan Alien Abduction due to a pending lawsuit. Hopkins is the director of the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

StanLand is a five-part satirical audio series featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Little, Timm Sharp, Jon Hamm, John Waters, and more.When cynical podcaster Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn) vanishes without a trace, the only clue is her abandoned recorder, discovered by the side of a road in Poolesville, Maryland. What's on the tape? A story that begins with a dusty Ikea wardrobe… and ends in a magical realm slowly being swallowed up by fast food chains, retail shopping, and vape stores. Enter Zyngia: once a land of wonder, ruled by a talking lion (Steve Little), now a cautionary tale of what happens when fantasy meets modern consumerism. At the center of it all? Stan Little (Bobby Moynihan). Unemployed. Unremarkable. Possibly the last person you'd want on a magical quest. And yet… here we are.Equal parts epic, absurd, and uncomfortably familiar.

Von den späten 1960er bis zu den frühen 1980er Jahren wurden mit billigsten Mitteln unzählige Filme abseits des Mainstreams produziert, für ein überwiegend männliches Publikum. Was all die Zombieschocker, Kannibalenstreifen, derben Komödien oder wüsten Thriller gemeinsam hatten: Reißerische Titel, provokante Inhalte, sensationalistische Bilder. Das Exploitationkino setzte auf grelle Schauwerte, die weder Hollywood noch europäische Kunstfilme bieten konnten. Gewalt, Sex, Grenzüberschreitungen gehörten zu den Ingredienzen von Regisseuren wie Russ Meyer, Lucio Fulci oder Jess Franco. Aus heutiger Sicht oft hochgradig politisch unkorrekt, sind diese Filme für Grindhouse-Fans wie Quentin Tarantino oder John Waters der Stoff, aus dem die wilden Kinoträume sind.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're shedding a single tear for Cry-Baby (1990)! Johnny Depp stars in John Waters' rockabilly musical that's equal parts parody, punk, and pure teen rebellion. From electric chairs to tear-streaked serenades, it's a weird, wild ride through '50s nostalgia with a twisted grin. Tune in as we dive into this cult classic and ask: was Cry-Baby cool or just confused? Plot Summary:Cry-Baby (1990), directed by John Waters, is a rockabilly musical comedy set in 1950s Baltimore, starring Johnny Depp as Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker, the leader of a group of rebellious “Drapes.” When he falls for straight-laced “Square” Allison (Amy Locane), their romance sparks a clash between their two social worlds. Packed with campy humor, catchy tunes, and Waters' signature subversive style, the film parodies teen musicals while celebrating the outsiders who refuse to conform.

The story so far: Things in the movie hole drag on. Maybe it's the movies (or maybe it's the body odor and beer) but Dan is starting to snap.They create life. Sometimes, they take it away. This week's episode is all about moms and how they can be serial killers sometimes! The boys break down John Waters' 1994 classic satire Serial Mom. Between the movie's kills, awkward sex, white-picket-fence setting, and constant references to classic gore films, the boys get distracted talking about prank phone calls, glory holes, whether or not the glossy sheen of wealthy suburban life is a smokescreen hiding a deeply-rooted violent rage at an ill-defined 'outsider' class that only exists as a way to define itself by comparison, and how men can protect themselves while they're peeing.Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Allison Wolfe is the singer and a founding member of Bratmobile. Following a 2 year hiatus, Bratmobile is back with a string of shows on the West Coast, including their second appearance at the Mosswood Meltdown Festival, hosted by John Waters. Allison gives us a quick history of Bratmobile, how the band presently operates and why the band continues to come back together despite distances, other projects and even an onstage break-up. She's shares some insight into her lyrics, her view on the grunge scene and why anti-professionalism was a necessary approach to early Bratmobile. Joe and Allison swop early touring stories and Allison paints us a fun-loving picture of the first Bratmobile tour.

We review the 1994 John Waters' movie Serial Mom.
This episode of 'Raised by Ricki' originally aired October 11, 2022. He’s shocking, raunchy, and can’t ever be censored. Today, Ricki talks to her lifelong friend John Waters, whose iconic film “Hairspray” has become a theater favorite. It’s also where Ricki, playing Tracy Turnblad, made her movie debut. After working on several films together, the two have become lifelong friends. They dish on their crazy memories of working on set, John’s appearance on The Ricki Lake Show, and what it’s like to have your work labeled as “trashy.” Please note, Raised By Ricki contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Writer, director, actor, and artist John Waters has been making avant-garde cinema since the 1960s. His movies have pushed boundaries and shocked audiences with their wild characters and surreal storylines, even as they offer piercing insights into popular American culture and society. While he experienced mainstream crossover success by the 1980s and into the 2000s, and has been embraced by many in the entertainment industry, John Waters is inherently an outsider –- and he wouldn't have it any other way. He is a unique, visionary queer voice in American cinema. So for one of our 2025 Pride specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate looks back on 8 of The Pope of Trash's most notable movies and attempts to name the Best John Waters Film. Movies discussed: Hairspray (1988), Serial Mom (1994), Pink Flamingos (1972), Cry-Baby (1990), Female Trouble (1974), Mondo Trasho (1969), Polyester (1981), Pecker (1998). Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Jonny Minogue, and special guests Erin Marlow from the It's a Fandom Thing podcast, and Joshua Grannell AKA Peaches Christ, alternative drag icon and host of the Midnight Mass podcast, as they discuss 8 of the most notorious John Waters films.

Join Matt and me for Episode 138 as we dance our way into the high-energy, heart-filled world of Hairspray (2007)! This dazzling movie musical might look like just another retro romp, but don't be fooled—it's a Trojan horse of a film, delivering a powerful social message wrapped in a beehive and a beat you can't ignore.We break down why Hairspray is so much more than catchy tunes and bold choreography. From its infectious optimism to its unwavering call for racial justice and body positivity, this adaptation of the Broadway hit (based on John Waters' original cult classic) still packs a punch. We celebrate the standout performances, iconic musical numbers, and the way it challenges norms while making you want to dance.You can't stop the beat—and you won't want to miss this episode!Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Our exit today has us following in the footsteps of the Backwards Man. This week, we are talking about Freddy Got Fingered, written by Tom Green and Derek Harvie and directed by Tom Green.Along the way, we drop many more fancy words than you would expect given the movie: transgressive cinema, Dadaism, surrealism. Does that mean we like the movie? No. But it does give us a chance to talk John Waters, Drew Barrymore, Julie Hagerty, Razzie awards, MTV films, the Marx Brothers, Rip Torn's 1990s, and Tripp's high school car!Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.CFF Films with Ross and friends.Movies We've Covered on the Show on Letterboxd.Movies Recommended on the Show on Letterboxd.

Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he's different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters' lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society's weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
