For nearly 50 years, John Waters has been making subversive films that playfully push all sorts of boundaries - movies like \\u201cPink Flamingos\\u201d, \\u201cHairspray\\u201d, and \\u201cSerial Mom\\u201d.

Actor and comedian Aubrey Plaza cites Waters as a major influence of hers. She's best known for roles in \\u201cParks and Recreation\\u201d and the second season of HBO\\u2019s \\u201cThe White Lotus\\u201d.

On May 9, 2023, John Waters and Aubrey Plaza came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for a rapid-fire conversation on a variety of topics - \\xa0including Waters\\u2019 first novel, \\u201cLiar Mouth: A Feel-Bad Romance\\u201d.\\xa0 As any fan of John Waters would expect, the night was as filthy as it was hilarious, so this program may not be suitable to all listeners.
