036 - John Waters in the Mainstream, Pt. 1: Hairspray, Cry-Baby, plus Grease - a podcast by The Rad Carpet

Siblo and Whalen celebrate one full year of the Rad Carpet by returning to sunny, filthy Baltimore to watch and discuss select films from John Waters’ late-career ascent to the mainstream, beginning with 1988’s sock-hopping underdog breakout Hairspray (33:10), and continuing to his only film for a major studio, 1991’s Depp-starring rockahillbilly riff Cry-Baby (56:45). But first, your Carpeteers welcome CJ5000 on for the Hole in the Carpet segment, where CJ chops it up about his first ever viewing of the 1978 American musical institution that is Grease (4:15).
