I watched Multiple Maniacs last night for the first time (I don't recommend it 😂). Although I love John Waters films and I've seen most/all of them at this point, Multiple Maniacs' plot was kinda everywhere alongside its clear shock intentions. Pink Flamingos came out just two years later in 1972, was in color, features basically all the same actors, and unbelievably, Pink Flamingos is the more coherent and cohesive film 😂🤣

Alright, so when Pietro Francisci puts the Greek mythological figure Hercules in a Biblical setting in the early 60s, Conservative puritanical film censors are completely cool with it, but when John Waters puts Jesus in Multiple Maniacs (1970) it’s suddenly blasphemous …

@GenXAndBitter 🤣 I think John Waters' Multiple Maniacs might be the only other example of oatmeal puke I can think of; off of the top of my head, at least!
