Show Notes

This is movie is stupid underrated.  Johnny Depp plays Cry-Baby, a teen heartthrob on the wrong side of the tracks who falls for a Square named Allison.  Director/Writer John Waters really nails the "James Dean" aesthetic in this movie with a hilarious and campy good time.  The songs are memorable and all the supporting cast does a great job.  Also, we love ourselves some Hatchet-Face!!  Take a listen as we go over all the boo-hoo madness that is John Waters' Cry Baby!
