Our take

On a stage festooned with garbage cans, the self-proclaimed “filth elder” John Waters delivers a hilarious and insightful stand-up routine on his career and formative influences. Directed by Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Jeff Garlin, This Filthy World is a window into the freaky mind of the Pope of Trash.
