This week, Charlie welcomes one of the founding fathers of transgressive cinema; a man who broke all the rules and managed to magically make high art out of bad taste. His early films like Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974) and multiple maniacs secured him a rabid cult following of weirdos and his more mainstream efforts like Cry-Baby (1990) and Hairspray (1988) made him a household name. He's a writer, director, author, world traveler, comedian and oracle of Trash movie culture. He's the immortal John Waters and we're excited to have him on the Freakshow.

This week, Charlie's guest is award-winning screenwriter Larry Karaszewski who, along with longtime writing partner Scott Alexander, co-penned such acclaimed pictures as Tim Burton's Ed Wood (1994) and Big Eyes (2014), Milos Forman's The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Man on the Moon (1999), the Stephen King adaptation 1408 (2007) and Eddie Murphy's triumphant comeback picture Dolemite Is My Name (2019) among many others. Larry is also a dedicated film historian and preservationist who eats, sleeps and breathes movies. Don't miss this one.
