Listen to Robert Drake’s Q’zine interview with filmmaker John Waters
With John Waters bringing his Christmas-themed one-man-show to Philadelphia next Thursday, November 29, DJ Robert Drake caught up with the cult favorite filmmaker in an interview for Q’Zine, XPN’s weekly queer arts and culture showcase. The touring show has received critical acclaim for the way it lampoons the holiday season with adult humor, “putting the X in Xmas” as they like to say. But Drake’s interview reveals that Waters is, on another lever, a sincere, non-ironic fan of the holiday season (in all its tacky glory). Listen to the interview here (via the WXPN media player). Waters appears at The Trocadero on Thursday, November 29; you can find tickets and more information here. (Also of note – Waters’ 1988 classic Hairspray screens at The Troc’s Movie Monday showcase on November 26.)
