Cry-Baby (1990)

from This Ends at Prom Hosted by Brennan Klein

"I may be a drape, but I love your granddaughter. And if that's a crime, I'll stand convicted, ma'am." John Waters returns to This Ends at Prom with the second of his unofficial teen trilogy and first true musical, the 1950s satire, CRY-BABY. This week The Wives Colangelo are discussing finding your path in a rigid world, why Waters' brand of "beautiful" is the way to be, stressing the importance of staying true to yourself, and determining why Wanda Woodward is one of cinema's greatest badass babes. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT Mermaids U.K. (https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/) ---- Source Mentioned A Conversation with John Waters: https://www.hammertonail.com/interviews/john-waters-cry-baby/ ---- Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
