Ep 24 - Serial Mom with Dirk Marshall

This week we talk John Waters and SERIAL MOM with our guest Dirk Marshall, host of the wonderful VHUS podcast. Can you believe Raquel really wanted a Waters movie?? Dirk talks Matthew Lillard key chains. We see a whole new side of Raquel where she kinda loves some of the sadistic and violent camp of the film. The contemporary true crime craze and the 90s serial killer/murderbilia fad are touched on. Why Raphael forever conflates Brian Dennehy with John Wayne Gacy. Everyone disagrees with Roger Ebert’s take on Kathleen Turner. Dirk spearheads the concept of what could be Waters’ comeback/final statement: Serial Grandma. This episode basically becomes a tribute to how cool John Waters is – as well as it should be. The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/former music journalist, & current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. Feel free to write to us!
