03: Polyester

from 99 Cent Rental · host Bryan and Dave White

This week Bryan and Dave take a trip to Baltimore for a look at John Waters' transitional picture, Polyester, bridging the gap between his combative, confrontational midnight shockers of the 1970s and his commercial breakthrough in the 1980s. This tour de force let the world know that Divine was more than just an art terrorist in drag but a real, capable comedic actor. When it comes to Polyester, it's the best of both worlds for John Waters fans: An overwrought domestic melodrama in the style of Douglas Sirk and the pure movie chicanery of William Castle. See it in Odorama! Trailer: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNlEp5qH3E⁠
