SUMMARY:POLYESTER in Odorama + CECIL B. DEMENTED With John Waters
DESCRIPTION:The Paramount Theatre PresentsPolyester in Odorama+Cecil B. DementedWith John Waters LIVEThe Paramount TheatreFriday\, October 17\, 2025 \nDoors: 7pmPolyester: 8pmCecil B. Demented: 10:30pm \nDouble Feature: This ticket gets you into both films\, but you are also welcome to attend just one. The second film will screen after a brief intermission. \nThe Pope of Trash himself\, John Waters\, returns to the Paramount to provide a live\, in-person commentary for POLYESTER\, screening in glorious Odorama\, followed by a live introduction of CECIL B. DEMENTED\, celebrating its 25th anniversary! If you joined us for last year’s deliriously filthy double feature of PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE – or heard about it later and were filled with punishing regret – you know this is a night you do not want to miss! \nYour ticket purchase includes an Odorama card fabricated by Kaleidoscope Concepts\, the same company entrusted to create the cards that were included with the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray of Polyester in 2019 \nPOLYESTER in Odorama1981\, 86min/color\, DCPDirected by: John WatersCast: Divine\, Tab Hunter\, Edith Massey\, David Samson\, Mink Stole\, and Stiv Bators. \nJohn Waters reteams with Divine to pay loving tribute – in the darkly comedic way only they could – to the Technicolor melodrama masterpieces of Douglas Sirk (ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS\, MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION) and the publicity genius of William Castle (13 GHOSTS\, THE TINGLER). Divine and Tab Hunter stand in for Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson and skewer 80s suburban domesticity\, and the audience is right there with them thanks to Odorama scratch-and-sniff cards that give you 10 reasons to rethink having a sense of smell. \nCECIL B. DEMENTED25th Anniversary!2000\, 88min/color\, DCPDirected by: John WatersCast: Melanie Griffith\, Stephen Dorff\, Alicia Witt\, Adrian Grenier\, Mink Stole\, Ricki Lake\, Michael Shannon\, and Patricia Hearst. \nJohn Waters assembles a knockout cast for this riff on the 1974 Patricia Hearst kidnapping\, with Melanie Griffith starring as an A-list actress who gets kidnapped by an outlaw filmmaking collective led by the title character (Stephen Dorff) and is forced to star in his increasingly unhinged masterpiece. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1049975287056268/
