Episode 73: Cecil B. Demented

Peaches Christ & Michael Varrati Season 3 Episode 73

Lights, camera, revolution! This week, Peaches and Michael take guerilla filmmaking to the extreme in celebration of 2000’s CECIL B. DEMENTED! In addition to discussing John Waters’ loving lambast of transgressive cinema, our hosts delve into what auteur’s name they’d be willing to have branded on their bodies. Joining the conversation is the Prince Charles Cinema’s Ralph Bogard, whose intersecting love of film exhibition and the Pope of Trash lead to insightful dissection of this cult classic. Then, Media Meltdown’s Piranha Psychotronica stops by to dig into the evolving prescience of the film’s take on subversive movie culture. From burning hair to FORREST GUMP 2, this episode has it all! Go!
