SHOWNOTES: Happy Thanksgiving, movie fans! On today's episode of Collateral Cinema, Beau and Robert are taking a look at John Waters' 1972 black comedy film Pink Flamingos, notorious for its controversial content and themes. Banned in several countries since its release, yet preserved in the National Film Registry as of 2021, this cult film starring the late drag queen icon Divine is a notable form of abject art in media and outrageously unhinged in its depiction of exploitative topics. So, enjoy the show, and stay tuned for our next episode on Rocky III by the end of the month!
