Kamikaze gets a mean case of Baltimore crabs while wading through the gutters of Charm City, where he traces the origin stories of John Waters and the Dreamlanders.
He is then joined by Darren Stein, director of the cult classic Jawbreaker, to talk about the pleasures of amorality and the struggles of growing up gay surrounded by squares.
After that, another kooky Californian, performance artist Dynasty Handbag, hops aboard the degenerate express to ponder the lasting impact of the Dreamlanders, the concept of failed femininity, and unorthodox strategies of building queer community.
About Pure Garbage
He goes by many names. The Sultan of Sleaze…the Baron of Bad Taste… The Pope of Trash and The Prince of Puke…John Waters is the undisputed maestro of American filth, a living legend whose groundbreaking contributions to cinema, literature, television, and art have paved the way for devout legions of perverts across the globe.
From WUSSY Mag, comes a filthy new foray into the depths of queer cinematic depravity. Pure Garbage is a new historical podcast series that isn’t afraid to rummage through the trash and get its hands dirty. Listen closely as we go elbow deep to explore the legacies of controversial queer auteurs and iconoclasts that have made a permanent impact on independent filmmaking and LGBTQ+ culture.
