In this filmed version of cult film director John Waters' popular one-man show, the Pink Flamingos and A Dirty Shame director takes the stage to discuss everything from his early influences, fondest career memories, and notorious struggles against the MPAA rating system. Part endearing memoir and part hilarious lecture, This Filthy World touches on everything from the insanity of contemporary pop culture to the director's unforgettable early collaborations with inimitable Pink Flamingos star Divine.

Starting my John Waters January!
If I could have a conversation with one "celebrity" it would be John Waters. I could just listen to him for hours and hours. I've watched this a couple times and I still laugh and get shocked at some the things that comes out of his mouth as if it's the first time I watched it. GENIUS!

John Waters the proclaimed “pope of filth”, provides a fantastic one-man show that delves into his career, background, and his insane yet oddly relatable mind. I truly look up to Waters and hold him in high regard and this special really increased my respect for him. This was witty and so intriguing. Waters charisma provides excellent pacing on the mic, making this fly by. This could have been another 2 hours and I would still be hooked. I can’t wait for his next project Liarmouth, I really hope it gets made.
