šŸ”„ Female Trouble (1974) might be one of the most UNHINGED movies we’ve ever reviewed.


John Waters + Divine + cha-cha heels + a bowl of spaghetti = absolute CINEMA. šŸ˜‚ In this episode, we dive into the filthy, hilarious, low-budget madness of Female Trouble, debate whether it actually qualifies as horror, discuss why Divine’s Dawn Davenport is somehow impossible NOT to root for, and ask the important question: Is crime really beauty?


From the legendary Christmas meltdown to acid attacks, fish, questionable parenting, the most chaotic dinner party imaginable, and an electric-chair finale… John Waters certainly gave us plenty to talk about.


We also break down the movie’s cult status, its punk-rock DIY style, the performances, its surprisingly relevant themes about fame and crime, and whether Female Trouble is the BEST gateway into the wonderfully disgusting world of John Waters.
