The Odorama thing was actually followed through by John Waters and scratch cards were distributed to viewers at the time.
actually pretty good. I enjoyed it ..maybe I would it swift up a ten mins
that was very comic. sharp irony
This movie is fucking everything and I love it
I don’t know why people hate this movie, it’s actually really good and pretty fucking deep. I give this movie 5/5
people who are legit serious when they say anything by John Waters is “bad” completely miss the point of the entirety of his work.
I agree !
I just rewatched this movie and is still an awesome underrated movie !!!
what a …bad comedy
the genius of John Waters going right over your head 😉
Jesus what a garbage…….
you obviously have 0 understanding of John Waters, Divine, or any of their work. Waters’ pieces serve to make fun of what makes a “good” movie. fortunately idiots like you exist, and the rest of us can laugh at you.
OJ is the guy who thinks marvel and batman movies are good
Watchable but not good as pink flamingos. 3/5 *
