Podcast appearances and mentions of tracy turnblad

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.

With Gypsy on Broadway, Wicked on movie screens nationwide and Mama I'm A Big Girl Now off-Broadway, this seemed to be the perfect time to revisit this episode from the first season of Broadway Nation. This was the first of three episodes highlighting the principal themes of the Broadway Musical.  Here I look at the single most ubiquitous and pervasive theme: “Transgressive Women”. For more than 100 years an overwhelming majority of musicals have featured transgressive female characters who break the rules, and refuse to follow the path that society has set out for them. And more often than not they are the protagonist, or co-protagonist, of the story. However, for some reason musicals are not generally perceived in this way. Most people would not identify this as one of the Broadway Musicals principal attributes. I believe that is part of their subversive power. In fact I would contend that the musicals themselves, as well as the characters, are transgressive. From “Laurey” in Oklahoma! to “Elphaba” in Wicked. From “Annie Oakley” to “Tracy Turnblad”. From “Maria” in The Sound Of Music to “Effie” in Dreamgirls. Dynamic women have always been at the center of America's signature Art Form.

Antenados #235 - Danilo Gobatto conversa com exclusividade com Antonio Vizintín, sobrevivente de um dos mais famosos acidentes aéreos da história. Em 13 de outubro de 1972, o voo 571 da Força Aérea Uruguaia caiu nas Cordilheiras dos Andes com 45 pessoas a bordo. Após 72 dias nas montanhas geladas, apenas 16 sobreviveram. O acidente inspirou vários filmes, livros e séries – e até a criação de um museu em homenagem aos passageiros em Montevidéu, no Uruguai, o “Museu dos Andes”. O filme mais recente lançado é “A Sociedade da Neve”, da Netflix. Antonio Vizintin relembra, nessa entrevista exclusiva, o clima antes do embarque, o exato momento em que a aeronave caiu nos Andes, o sentimento de alegria quando soube, através do rádio, que seria resgatado, e diz não acreditar em “milagre”! Tem também um bate papo com Vania Canto, protagonista do musical “Hairspray”, em cartaz no Teatro Renault, em São Paulo. Vania é atriz, cantora e dubladora, e já estrelou grandes espetáculos como “Wicked”, “Les Misérables”, “Chaplin”, “Funny Girl”, “A Família Addams”, “Charlie e A Fantástica Fábrica de Chocolates”, entre outros. Em “Hairspray” interpreta Tracy Turnblad, uma adolescente sonhadora, que tem como objetivo dançar em um programa de TV, o “The Corny Collins Show”. Apresentação, produção e edição: Danilo Gobatto. Sonorização: Cayami Martins

Stuart and Jacob dive into the colorful world of "Hairspray," comparing John Waters' 1988 cult classic with the 2007 musical adaptation directed by Adam Shankman. They explore the evolution of Tracy Turnblad's story, from a quirky comedy about integration and body positivity to a high-energy musical extravaganza. How does the original's campy charm hold up against the star-studded, song-filled remake? And what do these films say about the changing landscape of social issues in cinema? Also in this episode, the hosts discuss Stuart's qualms with the logic of "Ella Enchanted", the impact of John Waters' unique filmmaking style, the differences in tone between the two films, and the significance of setting a film in the 1960s from the perspective of different decades.

This week's pick is our good friend and supporter, Geek Girl Soup's Susan! And this week it's the 1988 musical comedy, Hairspray! Check out Geek Girl Soup at https://geekgirlsoup.com. "Hairspray" explored themes of racial integration and body image while celebrating the vibrant subculture of dance and music in 1960s Baltimore. Starring Ricki Lake as Tracy Turnblad, the film's production marked Waters' move towards more mainstream cinema. The casting of Divine, a drag queen icon known for collaborating with Waters, in a non-drag role was a notable departure for both the director and actor. Waters, known for his provocative and unconventional filmmaking style, had to navigate the challenges of balancing his unique voice with the demands of a more commercial musical genre. The film's production also involved the collaboration of composer Marc Shaiman, who created the infectious and lively score, and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, who brought the energetic dance sequences to life. The film's success lies in its ability to tackle serious social issues with humor and heart, creating an entertaining and memorable musical that resonated with audiences. "Hairspray" became a cult classic and later inspired a successful Broadway musical adaptation and a 2007 film remake, showcasing the enduring appeal of Waters' unique vision and the film's message of acceptance and inclusivity.

When Ricki Lake hosted her eponymous talk show in the 1990s, she wore hairpieces and extensions to hide the fact that her hair was thinning.

Sam asks Ricki about her decision to go public with her alopecia diagnosis, how she landed the gig hosting her talk show when she was only 23 years old, and the 35th anniversary of her star-making role as Tracy Turnblad in “Hairspray.”     Follow Ricki Lake @rickilake on Instagram and @RickiLake on Twitter.

Katie and Bridget sing YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT as they re-watch the movie: Hairspray! Follow along as Tracy Turnblad strives to be a dancer on the Corny Collins show. She's got the moves, she's got the confidence, and pretty quickly into the movie she gets picked to be on the show! ... But that's only about a half hour in, so really the main conflict of the movie is 1960s racism! Along with some new friends Tracy helps everybody dance against the injustice and she also gets a hot boyfriend out of it too (cool!). This movie features an insane cast of characters with an insane cast of really just way too many actors to list out here. Released in 2007, this movie was a remake of the 1988 movie of the same name.

Ricki Lake (yes, THAT Ricki Lake) and Abby Epstein have worked together on some groundbreaking documentaries which you should watch immediately if you haven't yet done so. The Business of Being Born changed the way we looked at birthing options and medical interventions, and their most recent collaboration, The Business of Birth Control, examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women's health and liberation. Both women are brilliant and down-to-earth, and we loved talking to them about their films, their friendship, and their aging journey. We hope we didn't humiliate ourselves when we asked them to "lick each other's buttholes", which is our weird way of saying "give each other complements". We tried our best to maintain our composure in the presence of artistic geniuses, but you should listen to the episode and let us know how we did.

We also got into her iconic scene in American Beauty (“You are so busted”), getting to don animal prints and a New York accent as Charmaine in What We Do in the Shadows, and why we believe she should play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl.

When you say, “The Pill” there is no debate about what pill you are talking about. Birth control pills have been a tool of the women's liberation movement for over 60 years. Birth control in general is as ubiquitous in our society as aspirin – and seems as harmless. But what do we really know about how hormonal contraception works and impacts our bodies? Today's guests, Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein, have a new documentary, “The Business of Birth Control,” which examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women's health and liberation.  Weaving together the stories of bereaved parents, body literacy activists, and femtech innovators, the film reveals a new generation seeking holistic and ecological alternatives to the pill while redefining the meaning of reproductive justice. Guest Bios Abby Epstein started her career as a theatre director with her own production company, Roadworks Productions, which is based in Chicago. Roadworks Productions was founded in 1992, and the company had seen much success in the mid 1990s. After directing a few productions in Chicago, Abby moved to New York to be an assistant director on the production of Rent. She then worked on The Vagina Monologues with Eve Ensler. Epstein directed her first documentary Until the Violence Stops, a film about the impact of The Vagina Monologues on a global scale. Five years later, Abby Epstein released The Business of Being Born in 2008. Much of Abby Epstein's film career deals with birth and sex. Her film Until the Violence Stops premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 and won an Emmy after its screening on Lifetime. The Business of Being Born debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007 and was released theatrically in 2008. In October 2018, Epstein released Weed the People, a documentary buoyed by hopeful experiences with medical marijuana, that she worked on for 6 years with Ricki Lake as an executive producer. Pop culture icon Ricki Lake has built an extraordinary career.  The world first met Ricki in 1988 as Tracy Turnblad in John Waters' beloved film Hairspray. Ricki went on to appear in other films such as Cry-Baby, Cecil B. Demented, Serial Mom, and Gemini. She also starred on television in China Beach and King of Queens.  At the impressive age of twenty-four, Ricki became the youngest talk show host in history. For 11 years, her long-running show was met with unprecedented success and changed daytime television forever. She went on to win an Emmy for Best Talk Show Host for her work on the reboot of The Ricki Lake Show.  In her intimate book, “Never Say Never: Finding a Life That Fits,” Ricki took readers behind the scenes of her troubled childhood—filled with food issues, abuse, and an unabashed yearning for a better life outside of her suburban home. She pulled back the curtain on her talk show and her early days as a “fat actress.” 

Nikki Blonsky are you Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray?! I couldn't believe it when Nikki said yes to this interview; not only was she so iconic in this role, and played it so brilliantly, but the similarities to my experience are remarkable. We were both 17 when we got our first big role and were suddenly thrust into the spotlight and we talk about how we've found matching that role since. However we also spoke about the differences; Tracy Turnblad was so well received and held in such high esteem as an inspirational character, whereas Michelle saw at least 10 years of viewers despising the character. We discuss how this has affected the both of us, how Nikki sees herself now, and just how much John Travolta means to her.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
