This week, the boys take a look at John Waters’ raucous greaser musical Cry-Baby, featuring a sexy young Johnny Depp, a sexier redneck grandmother, and the sexiest of them all, a switchblade-toting greaser affectionately named Hatchetface. But they aren’t the only little freaks in attendance, because a young Willem Dafoe in a scene-stealing cameo, a leathery Iggy Pop in pure freak mode, and your two resident freaks, David and Justus, are also along for this ride through Waters’ insane maximalist satire! It’s Cry-Baby, this week on The Greatest Movie Ever Made!
Cry-Baby (1990) is directed by John Waters and stars Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Susan, Tyrrell, Iggy Pop, and Ricki Lake
Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
