1974: Fifty Years Later / Female Trouble

Support our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke Who better to
spend the holidays with than rebellious hair hopper Dawn Davenport,
who goes from pinning her screaming mother under a Christmas tree
for failing to provide the desired gift of Cha Cha heels to
becoming the brightest star to light up the electric chair. Kate
Wilkiinson returns to talk about the *most* John Waters movie ever
made, his 1974 cult classic that puts his favorite obsessions of
crime, fame and grotesque glamour center stage. Is there anything
more lovable than a hideous Baltimore accent? Can anyone deny the
sex appeal of Edith Massey sewn into a tight leather S & M
outfit? And is there something about all this that's weirdly
wholesome? 1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of
exciting international cinema and the original voices of New
Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we
invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to
talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios
and everything else in between. Wig Wurq on Tumblr:
