Divine, one of the greatest drag queens ever, was so inspired by Liz Taylor’s acting you can almost hear Liz delivering Divine’s outrageous lines in John Water’s film “Pink Flamingoes.” Now, imagine Divine delivering Liz’s lines in ‘Who is Afraid of Virginia Wolf” and you’ve come full circle.

It’s impossible to talk about the hilarious cult films of John Waters without mentioning one of his greatest actresses, Mink Stole.

As a teenager Mink Stole met John Waters in Baltimore. Little did she know that her roles in such cult classics as “Pink Flamingos” and “Female Trouble” and then later on in “Hairspray” and “Serial Mom” would become some of the most beloved and twisted films of all time.

Although she’s appeared in every single one of his films, Mink still found the time to develop an acting career and even form her own band. This year Mink appears in Joshua Grannell’s film debut “All About Evil” as a nagging librarian who meets her untimely demise.

Join us as we talk with Mink about the origins of all those wonderful lines, her friendship with Divine, John Waters and Peaches Christ and why she gets butchered to death in so many movies, including All About Evil.

“Eggs! Eggs! Eggs!”

She’s back! Peaches Christ gives us an exclusive behind the scenes look of the production of her debut horror film, All About Evil, which tells the story of a mad librarian who kills her victims in real life for her art house horror films.

The grueling 28 day film shooting schedule took it’s toll on poor Peaches. It almost killed her. Boy are we glad to have her back on the show.

Listen and find out who had a Christian Bale-out moment on the taping of the film? And what legendary filmmaker John Waters thinks of San Franscio’s drag movie maven.

Did Peaches really make Mink Stole cry? Just how far did fans go to be in the film?

Peaches also goes into the future of the legendary Midnight Mass film series now that she’s a famous film director.

Also, we take a look at some of the films to which we’re hopelessly addicted like “The Terminator”, “Showgirls” and “The Fifth Element.” Will “All About Evil” be one of them?
