Episode 3 is now live!

Trim your mustaches pencil-thin for the first director-centric episode of the Rad Carpet! Thom, Whalen, and CJ 5000 punch their tickets to sunny, filthy Baltimore for the first of two discussions on the early work of cult icon John Waters, starting with his recently restored “talkie” debut Multiple Maniacs and his notorious midnight-movie classic Pink Flamingos. But first, the Carpeteers play a little “In or Out?”, unfurling their takes on a trio of modern Hollywood mainstays: Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon.

 

The Rad Carpet is, above all, a club, and we want you, the listener, to join in! Unfurl your takes in the comments section below (or on our new Facebook page!): Is Multiple Maniacs more than a mere archival curio? Are you tickled Pink by Flamingos, or did you feel as if you yourself had been made to eat a turd? Do you pronounce yourself in or out on Sandler?

Keep an eye out on this site and on Twitter for the second part of our Waters discussion, covering Female Trouble and Desperate Living. And do be sure to check out our recently published viewing schedule for the rest of 2017. Stay rad!
