On this Episode, Kelly is joined by the one and only: Ricki Lake! She is a TV and film actress, producer, and television show host. You can see her star in Hairspray, or host her Ricki Lake talk show, which ran for 12 seasons and aired over 2,000 episodes! Kelly starts by asking Ricki where she was born. Ricki tells him about growing up and going to school in Westchester and the city. She talks about taking the train in to Manhattan to go to a performing arts school. She and Kelly try to figure out if they share a mutual connection from her high school. Ricki talks about her parents' family business and how she was a true New Yorker.  Ricki then talks about how 9/11 affected her life trajectory. She talks about living in the West Village at the time and witnessing the plane fly down the Hudson River. She talks about how her home birth was such a powerful experience for her, and that mixed with the events and her contract ending influenced her to move to LA. Ricki then talks about how she ended up moving back to New York 20+ years later, when her house burned down in the Malibu fires. She talks about her house and what she was doing when the fires started. She tells us how she and her husband stayed to try to fight the fire and save their home, but ultimately decided to leave everything behind. She talks about how difficult it was to rebuild, and she talks about all of the things that she's lost in the process.  Kelly then asks her about her move back to New York. Ricki talks about how she had a feeling that she didn't want to stay in LA anymore. She talks about how she got the opportunity to spend a few months living in Chelsea at a friend's apartment and how she was able to rediscover the city that way. Kelly asks her about her necklace, and Ricki talks about how she was able to obtain some of the ashes from her house and create a diamond from it, symbolizing her rebirth. Kelly talks with Ricki about Hairspray! Ricki talks about her casting process and how she went from auditioning for a movie because of a flyer up at her school to getting the lead role in the movie musical. She talks about working with John Waters and Divine, and how the whole cast became a family. Kelly then asks her about her Ricki Lake Talk show, and she gives him the inside scoop on how she got the role.  Kelly then asks her about some of her other work in documentary film, dancing with the stars, and her second TV show, The Ricki Lake Show. She talks about how documentary filmmaking became a personal passion of hers. She talks about how The Business of Being Born still helps new mothers through childbirth. She tells Kelly about how much she loved getting to do Dancing with the Stars, even though she avoided doing it for so long. Kelly let her know that he thought she should have won her season, but Ricki accepted her third-place position. Ricki then talks about why she wanted to go back and do another talk show. She talks about what she was hoping would be different and how that didn't end up being the case. But she was grateful to win an EMMY for her work, but laments that she lost it in the fire.  Finally, Kelly has a surprise that he'd been saving for Ricki all show. He tells her and she is absolutely shocked and delighted.  But above all else; Ricki Lake is a New Yorker  Kelly Kopp's Social Media: @NewYorkCityKopp Ricki Lake's Social media @RickiLake Jae's Social Media @StudioJae170 Chapters (00:00:00) - Ricki Lake on Being a New Yorker(00:02:19) - Ricky on 9/11(00:06:15) - Cannizzaro on 9/11(00:08:57) - Ricky on Starting a Talk Show at 24(00:12:58) - One New Yorker's Story of The Fire(00:14:56) - Malibu Firefighter on the Fire(00:20:16) - A Broadway Star Gets Her Back(00:24:14) - Katie Levine on Broadway's(00:26:37) - Jennifer Aniston on Hairspray(00:27:04) - Jay Leno on Hairspray(00:28:05) - Fat Girl In John Waters' 'The Fat Girl'(00:30:19) - Tracy Turnblatt on Working With John Waters(00:32:37) - John Waters on Dancing in Hairspray(00:34:09) - Dancing With the Stars...

Baltimore native Nick Pikounis is the bar manager and beverage director of the tropical rum bar Pink Flamingo, which not only gets its name from its theme but also from local legend John Waters. It's surprising that someone who learned craft cocktails at a spot that wouldn't allow the use of citrus would now commandeer a place that revels in them - and he steered them right into a James Beard nomination. He also loves DJ culture, making some attempts in the electronic world after a brief childhood stint in clarinet and piano. Listen to his Baltimore B-sides mix here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2A6ZkL5zjVQYst1rg5jfjo?si=nPbOkBnpRI2sC70_Dg5o0A

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski look at John Waters getting the Criterion treatment. There are a pair of middle-of-the-road (at best) upgrades for Adam Sandler as well as a film with his Bulletproof co-star. James Garner and Bruce Willis in a Hollywood western murder mystery misfire but thankfully Clint Eastwood is also here to save the day. There is the Takashi Miike film that makes good use of the term “not for the squeamish.” And while the subject matter of one death after another did not bode well for a Robin Williams film about heaven and hell, the duo make the case that it was worth a revisit.1:33 - Criterion (Desperate Living (4K), Hairspray (1987) (4K))31:57 - Alliance (Sunset)41:09 - Kino (Hang ‘Em High (4K), Major Payne)1:00:15 - Sony (50 First Dates (4K), Click (4K))1:17:40 - Shout (What Dreams May Come (4K))1:37:51 - Arrow (Audition (4K))1:54:38 – New TV on Blu-ray (Masters of the Universe: Revelation/Revolution (Steelbook), I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Complete Series)1:56:23 - New Theatrical Titles on Blu-ray (Alpha (2025), Magellan, Mr. K, Pools, The Last Showgirl)2:01:10 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Today for KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine, we  celebrate Pride month by talking about some of the films I recommend that are showing  at the   the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, hosted by Frameline.  Frameline  was founded in 1977 and is the longest-running, largest, and most widely recognized queer film exhibition in the world so this year marks 50 years of Frameline films.  The films run from June 17th thru June 27th and are shown in both SF and the East Bay. We talk to Allegra Madsen,  the director of SF Frameline.    And then Lisa Dettmer  talks to Cheri Gaulke about her new documentary “Acting Like Women” which looks at the Art, activism, and female-powered performance burst onto the scene in 1970s Los Angeles, forming a tight-knit and transformative creative community. Centered around the early days of the Woman's Building, these artists explored the body, gender, and identity — challenging the entrenched sexism of the art world while forging groundbreaking new modes of expression that would influence generations to come. We also  talk to Sasha Water, director of the new documentary Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World which  weaves Oliver's own words through rare archival materials and candid reflections from those who knew and admired her, including John Waters, Stephen Colbert, and Oprah Winfrey. From her formative years marked by hardship to her quiet life in Provincetown with her longtime partner, the film traces the journey of a poet who found salvation in attention — to nature, to language, and to love. Tender, contemplative, and deeply human, this documentary invites us not only to understand Mary Oliver's life, but to reflect on our own. Then we talk to two of the women behind the Queer Women of Color Film Festival,  managing director Kebo Drew and founding Executive/Artistic Director of QWOCMAP, Madeleine Lim. The QWOCFF features 49 films across seven curated screenings at San Francisco's historic Presidio Theatre. It includes  Filmmaker Q&As and  community celebrations among other events. Every screening is  fully accessible with open captions, audio description, and ASL interpretation. For 22 years, QWOCFF has been where LBTQIA+ BIPOC filmmakers bring their work showing  films  from across continents and generations. The in person festival is June 12-14 at the Presidio Theatre, 99 Moraga Avenue, San Francisco.   And lastly Judith Masur  will remember lesbian feminist disability justice activist Jill Lessing who died last month at 83.    The post SF Frameline, QWOCMAP and remembering Jill Lessing appeared first on KPFA.

Guess who's back? Well, not Simon Miraudo, who's away on special assignment, but Tristan Fidler, Laura Blundell and Brekky host Pamela Boland for a brand new instalment of Movie Squad! First up this week is the “reboot-i-quel” of Scary Movie, reuniting Anna Faris, Regina Hall and select members of the Wayans family. Does it live up to the long, proud legacy of the Scary Movie spoof series? Or is this one maybe not good? Then, Tristan and Laura share their thoughts on Steven Soderbergh's latest caper, The Christophers, starring Ian McKellen as a famed artist and Michaela Coel as a young, antagonistic protege. Both films are now in cinemas! Stay tuned for a pod exclusive chat in which Laura shares some of new-to-her discoveries, including John Waters' Serial Mom, the political satire Bob Roberts and the surreal Kristen Wiig comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. Learn about the new season of Tristan's Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!

L7 takes victory lap on 'Last Hurrah' tour (Episode 1124) L7 is embarking on their final run, The Last Hurrah Tour, capping off a legendary career with a final celebration of iconic songs, hooks, and unforgettable riffs. For Chicago fans, the circle closes at the Vic Theatre on Sunday, November 1, a stage the band hasn't commanded since 1994. In this episode, L7 co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist Donita Sparks joins the show to reflect on the long road, the band's legacy, and what it means to finally say goodbye on their own terms. Donita looks back at the band's transition from its indie roots to early 90s alternative mainstays and highlights along the way, like being anointed by John Waters for Serial Mom. "We wanted our gender to not be relevant... we just wanted to prove in a punk rock way that you could throw a band together, work hard, and go on tour." — Donita Sparks Beyond the nostalgia, Donita dives deep into the sonic DNA of L7, explaining why they will always be a "guitar band, not a vocal band." She opens up about the realities of the 90s major label system, the resilience it took to create The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum, and the joy of reconnecting with fans over the last decade. It's a candid conversation about hard work, and ultimately, a mission accomplished. The end is near, and you don't want to miss the last hurrah. Press play and check out the full conversation with Donita Sparks.

Planet Terror (2007) Directed by Robert Rodriguez Starring: Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Josh Brolin, Jeff FaheyIf you haven't seen Planet Terror yet, Sean has a message for you: turn this podcast off right now and go watch it. We'll wait.This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we're diving deep into Robert Rodriguez's gloriously unhinged 2007 grindhouse masterpiece — a movie about zombie mutants, a go-go dancer with a machine gun for a leg, and somehow the best barbecue scene ever committed to film. John has seen this thing approximately 15 times in a theater (yes, really), and Sean just watched it for the first time and immediately felt like an idiot for waiting this long. The result is one of the most enthusiastic, borderline unhinged episode we've recorded.In this episode, we discuss:Go-Go, Not Stripper — The level of detail Rodriguez packed into this movie is insane, and John will correct you on the terminology. We break down why Planet Terror works as both a loving grindhouse homage AND as a legitimately great horror-comedy, and why so many modern movies fail to pull off what this one does effortlessly.Jeff Fahey Tastes His Own Blood and Gives Zero F*s — We make the case that Jeff Fahey is the unsung MVP of this film and the entire Rodriguez universe. The man is covered in wounds, tasting his own blood dripping into his barbecue sauce, and somehow STILL delivering the performance of a lifetime. He deserved an award. He got nothing. We're still mad.The Kid Shoots Himself and We Laughed. Sorry. — Rodriguez had the absolute audacity to telegraph exactly what was going to happen and then do it anyway, and somehow it's one of the funniest moments in the movie. We discuss why it works, why we're both going to hell, and why the movie is smart enough not to dwell on it.The Missing Reel is Cinema — The sex scene that cuts to everything being on fire is a stroke of genius, and we get into why Rodriguez's use of fake film damage and missing reels is more than just a gimmick — it's the best scene transition in the whole damn movie.We Also Talked About:At the Video Store (2019) (Amazon) — A nostalgic documentary about the death of video store culture featuring John Waters, Bill Hader, Gus Van Sant, and Todd Haynes. Sean's watched a suspicious number of these.The Last Ride (1991) (Tubi) — An AIP gem where a crazed truck driver terrorizes a recently released ex-con. Everyone is dubbed. The best line involves a shit pot. It's incredible.Massacre in Dinosaur Valley (1985) (Tubi) — An Italian jungle adventure featuring an alligator that genuinely does not want to be in this movie. The quicksand looks like oatmeal. John watched it before a Tigers game.Against the Dark (2009) (Tubi) — Steven Seagal in a trench coat "fighting" vampire zombies. Keith David shows up to collect a check. John stayed awake for all 90 minutes and regrets nothing and everything.Untold: The Jail Blazers (Netflix) — The chaotic story of the early 2000s Portland Trail Blazers. John doesn't really follow basketball but watched the whole thing. It's an easy hour.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

In this flashback edition of Real Clear Politics - Andrew Walworth speaks with with historian Michael Auslin, author of "National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America". As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration, Auslin presents a compelling examination of this foundational document, which he describes as having three distinct lives: the relic, the symbol, and the cultural object. Then, Andrew welcomes Dana Perino, a well-known figure in media and the author of the compelling new novel, "Purple State". This marks a significant transition for Dana, moving from the realm of nonfiction—where she has shared invaluable lessons and insights—into the world of fiction. The novel tells the story of three 25-year-old women from New York City who embark on an unexpected adventure in rural Wisconsin, where they navigate romance and political differences. And then finally, Andrew Walworth hosts a compelling discussion along with Tom Bevin, Phil Wegman, and veteran John Waters about the recent $200 billion Pentagon funding request from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. They delve into the implications of military funding, the evolving role of Congress in military decisions, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Waters provides insights into the historical context of military actions, the importance of clear communication from the President regarding military objectives, and the potential consequences of current strategies.

THIS WEEK: Mondo Trasho (1969), Multiple Maniacs (1970) and Pink Flamingos (1972)We've decided that the best way to break up our Andy Milligan venture is by looking at a far more gleeful trash peddler. It's well past time that we dug into the Manson-obsessed cinematic underbelly of Baltimore and the inimitable John Waters.Donate to Palestinian Medical AidSupport Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

Well, that was fucked up.  This week, we're talking about probably the most extreme movie in our entire catalog: DEADLY END, a 2008 obscurity that blends David Lynch with John Waters for a visceral, disgusting, hugely memorable experience. We're joined by the man who helped us unearth this video nasty, Fangoria legend and horror historian Michael Gingold!  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Murderbot / Chopping Mall 

This week we are dating ancient mummies while we discuss “Inca Mummy Girl”! We're talking being deafened by panflutes, how hilarious this Cultural Appropriation Party is, the introduction of Oz, troubling #xanderfamfacts, and a lot of Rectify for a while. We are approximately 40% of the total audience of that show, but you're going to listen to it anyway! Giles does some arts and crafts, mummy arms come off in comical ways, a mashup of PT Barnum and John Waters shows up, we get a deafening “a normal life” echo chamber, and we follow up on the “redheads can't date redheads” controversy now that further facts have come to life. Ever wondered about Danny Strong's love life? We didn't either, but that didn't stop us from looking it up!Send us an email at sunnydalenationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

In the first half of this week's episode, Tommie talks about icebergs, he and Patrick meet the Finnish Spitz, wish a Happy Birthday to actor Jack Nicholson and director John Waters, pay their respects to actor Patrick Muldoon and musician Dave Mason, smoke some grass for Earth Day, question why private religious schools should get public money while barring LGBTQIA children, mock Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' recent speech condemning progressivism, condemn the Justice Department for persecuting the Southern Poverty Law Center, and get an update on the war with Iran.

We're going full blown comedy and camp this week with "Seed of Chucky"! John Waters, REDman and Jennifer Tilly all join up with Chucky and Tiffany as Glen(da) navigates gender identity in a surprisingly earnest film considering it's release year. Check out the movie that studio heads declared, "Too gay! And too much Jennifer Tilly"!

We celebrate the 80th birthday of the filmmaker known as ‘The Pope of Trash' and ‘The Prince of Puke,' John Waters. He's spent a career violating taboos and pushing boundaries. His films include the cult classic ‘Pink Flamingos' and the relatively mainstream ‘Hairspray,' which was adapted into a hit Broadway musical. He spoke with Terry Gross in 2014 and 2019. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

'The View' co-hosts discuss Vice President JD Vance saying the Pope should “be careful” when discussing theology, as President Trump shared another religiously charged image and his administration telling the Pope to stay in his lane. Plus, stars Aubrey Plaza, John Waters, and Amy Sedaris join their fellow castmate Whoopi Goldberg to talk about teaming up for the new animated series 'Kevin', which follows a housecat who leaves his humans behind to strike out on his own — and why the offbeat story and cast chemistry made the project irresistible.

On this week's Take, Mark and Simon are back with more box fresh film reviews of the latest big screen releases. And we are still reviewing three brand new films out this week, even though it's Easter holibobs and the show is pre-recorded—because the Good Doctors are actual time travellers now, ICYMI. First up, they head to the Highlands for Glenrothan, Brian Cox's whisky-soaked directorial debut family drama—does it live up to its lofty ambitions, or get lost in the Scottish mist? Then it's Rebuilding, a quietly affecting portrait of second chances and fragile hope starring Josh O'Connor as a cowboy without a ranch. And finally, Wizard of the Kremlin—where Vladamir Putin is played by… Jude Law?! Plus Mark talks to ‘The Pope of Trash' John Waters, director of cult classics like Pink Flamingoes and Multiple Maniacs, and high priest of bad taste. He's celebrating the BFI's Trash season. Expect a gleeful and provocative conversation on the art of trash cinema, the pleasures of the disreputable, and why good bad films might just be the most honest kind of all. Plus, as always, there's the latest correspondence from the faithful, a few choice diversions, and the sort of cinematic enthusiasm (and exasperation) you've come to expect.

This week's episode of The Interviews, the spin-off show that rounds up our chats with film folk, is a belter. First, Chris Hewitt chats accents and auditions and more with Theo James, star of The Fuze [1:36 - 17:51 approx], and then Jamie Graham is joined for some trash talk by The Pope Of Trash himself, John Waters, just in time for the launch of a new season at the BFI Southbank called Trash! The Wildest Films You've Ever Seen. [19:02 - 32:45] Finally, we have an extended excerpt from our Ready Or Not: Here I Come spoiler special interview [34:18 - 52:52 approx] with that film's directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, which features strong, unbleeped language from the off, as well as a deep dive into that movie's twists and turns. So be advised! And also, of course, enjoy.

In venues around the UK and here on BBC Radio 4 and on BBC Sounds, it's Live Comedy Day today – a celebration of live comedy and grassroots clubs. We're joined by two of the cast of the new Saturday Night Live UK, Emma Sidi and Hammed Animashaun, and by Amanda Dwyer, who won the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow Comedy Festival this weekend, to discuss the stand-up landscape right now. Mink Stole is an icon of “trash cinema” and has appeared in every one of filmmaker John Waters' features, from the infamous cult classic Pink Flamingos to mainstream hits Hairspray and Serial Mom. She talks about her long association with Waters and his ensemble of Dreamlanders, and about her show Idol Worship in which she and actor and drag queen Peaches Christ reflect on her career in front of an audience.And live from opening night at the V&A Dundee where Catwalk – The Art of The Fashion Show celebrates over a hundred years of spectacular fashion displays, from Frederick Worth to Vivienne Westwood and Versace, curator Kirsty Hassard talks us through the history of the runway.

Mike is joined by Payton McCarty-Simas and Rob St. Mary to dig into Fucktoys, the 2025 SXSW Special Jury Award winner written, directed by, and starring Annapurna Sriram. Sriram plays AP, a sex worker adrift in Trashtown — a candy-colored dystopia of industrial decay and pastel skies — after a swamp-dwelling tarot reader tells her a curse can be lifted for a thousand dollars and the sacrifice of a baby lamb. What follows is a picaresque night of surreal encounters, escalating absurdity, and a collision of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millennium alternate universe.The gang explores the film's John Waters–adjacent sensibility and its candy-coated production design, debating whether the aggressive tonal shifts and theatrical performances sharpen the film's satirical edge or tip into pure indulgence. They also dig into what the curse might actually represent, how Sriram's central performance holds the chaos together, and where Fucktoys fits within a lineage of underground feminist and transgressive cinema.Also featured is an interview with writer/director/star Annapurna Sriram. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Richie is joined by the Irish journalist and author John Waters. Kompromat is Russian shorthand for "compromising material"—damaging information, photos, or recordings used to blackmail, discredit, or manipulate public figures, particularly politicians. How widespread is it? Is any world leader acting of his/her own volition? Are politicians merely messenger boys and girls, reading from carefully prepared scripts? If so, who - or what - is writing the scripts? Can we trust anything? John Waters and Richie attempt to answer these questions in the context of current events. It's an absolutely fascinating discussion. For more on John Waters:https://johnwaters.substack.com/https://x.com/johnwaters2024

Before Patty Hearst appeared as an actress in John Waters' movies, she captivated America on the silver screen as a hostage terrorized by the Symbionese Liberation Army. When the newspaper heiress was kidnapped by the radical organization in 1974, the country sympathized with her plight. But after just a few months, the SLA's guns weren't pointing at Patty anymore. Suddenly, Patty was firing her own weapons during fistfights and bank robberies as a member of the same terrorist group that once kept her locked in a closet. In court, Patty claimed she was brainwashed and that she played along for her own safety. It's true that Patty Hearst gave the performance of a lifetime — but we still don't know which part of her life was the performance. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

Then we saw her on Justified; then we saw her on Claws (which, if you haven't seen it, you must - it's like John Waters writing Breaking Bad), Dead Boy Detectives, and most recently, we've been singing the praises of Stumble, so we just had to have Jenn on the show. And boy howdy, what a delight it was to hang out with her!
