Stuart and Jacob dive into the colorful world of "Hairspray," comparing John Waters' 1988 cult classic with the 2007 musical adaptation directed by Adam Shankman. They explore the evolution of Tracy Turnblad's story, from a quirky comedy about integration and body positivity to a high-energy musical extravaganza. How does the original's campy charm hold up against the star-studded, song-filled remake? And what do these films say about the changing landscape of social issues in cinema?
Also in this episode, the hosts discuss Stuart's qualms with the logic of "Ella Enchanted", the impact of John Waters' unique filmmaking style, the differences in tone between the two films, and the significance of setting a film in the 1960s from the perspective of different decades.
