Episode 70 - Pink Flamingos (1972) - "The Divine Comedy"

This week on the podcast, we’re celebrating Pete’s birthday by treading into some uncharted Waters… John Waters that is as we watched the tentpole film of John Waters’ Trash Trilogy with 1972’s “Pink Flamingos”. Fam, this film’s got it all. Sex, rape, incest, human trafficking, cannibalism and that’s all within the first hour! It’s not that long of a film so it’s really the bulk of the film, but you get the idea. And boys and girls, don’t you skip that final scene, it’s a real treat! Join us as we wonder why it’s taken us to cover a John Waters film on this show, as his work is really the seed from which so many other things we love comes from! An independent filmmaker whose inspiration stems into all manner of art, film, queerness, and hey, even the likes of the Jackass fella’s look up to him. He’s your favorite artists, favorite Artist. But we’d be remiss if we spent all this time talking about Waters and not his putrescent muse, the queen of filth herself, Divine. For, without Divine, does Waters make such iconic trash cinema? What’s Van Gogh without the night sky, Springsteen without New Jersey, H.R. Geiger without the penis? Get ready for kink, kitsch, and oh yes… Kunt, on this.
