When the Sutphins go to church that week (followed by a fleet of police cars), they hear a news report on the car radio naming Beverly as the suspect in two more murders - Betty (Kathy Fannon) and Ralph Sterner (Doug Roberts). After Carl Pageant's death, Beverly's daughter Misty visits the video store where her brother works and announces to Chip and his friends, "Our mother is Charles Manson". Soon Beverly's husband Eugene finds disturbing items in their bedroom, including an autographed photo of Richard Speck, an audiotape of Ted Bundy (voice of John Waters), and a scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings of Jonestown and Charles Manson. When Beverly's daughter Misty is stood up by a date, Carl Pageant (Lonnie Horsey), she murders him with a fireplace poker.Īmong the first to suspect Beverly's criminal tendencies is her neighbor, Dottie Hinkle ( Mink Stole), who receives vulgar and threatening letters and phone calls from her. When she sees her neighbor, Rosemary Ackerman ( Mary Jo Catlett), spilling litter everywhere while taking out the trash, she flies into a murderous rage over her failure to recycle. When Paul Stubbins (John Dilative), Chip's high school math teacher, criticizes her son's schoolwork, she runs over him with her car, killing him. In fact, she is a violent sociopath whose polite manners and socially correct habits - she recycles and never wears white after Labor Day - conceal her criminal behavior.īeverly's overblown reactions to everyday events lead to murder.
SERIAL MOM TV
Movies by Waters' creative influences, including Russ Meyer, Otto Preminger, William Castle, and Herschell Gordon Lewis, are seen playing on TV sets in the film.īeverly Sutphin ( Kathleen Turner) appears to be a typical suburban housewife living with her husband Eugene ( Sam Waterston) and their children Misty ( Ricki Lake) and Chip ( Matthew Lillard). The original HBO Home Video DVD release is out of print. Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Focus Features released a collector's edition DVD of the film on May 6, 2008. Patty Hearst, Suzanne Somers, Joan Rivers, Traci Lords and Brigid Berlin make cameo appearances. Despite statements to the contrary in the movie, the story is completely fictional. That prospect tickles Waters."Serial Mom" is a 1994 dark comedy film written and directed by John Waters, starring Kathleen Turner as the titular character, Sam Waterston as her husband, and Ricki Lake and Matthew Lillard as her daughter and son. He has no plans for retirement Waters hopes to keep grinding until “the day I drop dead.” He cites as a role model the late Joan Rivers, who used to joke that if her fans were lucky, she would die in the middle of a stand-up set-and they would forever get to tell people they were there when it happened. So, Waters is still working, writing his book and dreaming up edgy Trump material for his frequent live performances. They used humor as terrorism, and I’m all for that.” If Waters could summon someone to effectively mock Trump out of the White House, he would call on the late anarchist activist Abbie Hoffman and his crew of like-minded protesters.
“That’s what fag hags are called within the adult baby movement.”
if he is calling his wife ‘mommy’ or ‘mother,’ well, that’s what adult babies do,” he continues. “All powerful men-ask any hooker-they like to lose power.
Why? Because, the filmmaker explains, the vice president calls his wife “Mother”-which means he might be “an adult baby.” Waters, by the way, spits out the word “mother” like it’s a horrid slur, a funny reversal coming from the king of blasphemy. “That’s the only way to get him-but the scariest thing is if he’s gone, we have Pence, who’s even worse,” says Waters. (Waters is especially fond of dreaming up Trump-inspired porn titles, like Comb Over and Blow Me.) Though few things shock Waters, he is still human (don’t tell!) and is finding ways to use his art to cope with devastating political news-by, for example, writing profane jokes about President Trump, which he hopes will “humiliate” him. “Even when she was in Trog, she acted like she was in Long Day’s Journey into Night,” he explains. Waters’s adoration of Crawford runs so deep that when the British Film Institute in London asked him last year to select his favorite British films, Crawford’s truly “embarrassing” final project Trog was on his list.
