John Waters has made every one of his movies in his native city of Baltimore, and so in their own quirky way they qualify as demented home movies. His cult classics "Pink Flamingos" (1972) and "Female Trouble" (1974) are, to phrase it politely, challenges to conventional notions about good taste. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano agree that these early  films retain their shock value. Although Waters' camp sensibility has remained consistent throughout his career, he eventually worked with larger budgets and even some Hollywood stars in later films including "Polyester" (1981), "Hairspray" (1988), "Cry-Baby" (1990), "Serial Mom" (1994) and "Cecil B. Demented" (2000). As a film director, author, stand-up comedian, visual artist, and all-around cultural commentator, John Waters remains a Baltimore treasure.
