Special Guest: John Waters
John Waters’ films have been shocking — and amusing — audiences for 40 years. His 1972 filmPink Flamingos earned him notoriety for its pure filth. But by the late 80s and 90s the mainstream was flowing more in his direction, and he was making movies like Serial Momand Hairspray, which has now become a huge hit Broadway musical.

His newest movie A Dirty Shame opens September 24th.
