The dirty book store in the commercial is now a Five Guys, which sounds even dirtier.

[@Genkimark]

Young John Waters was pretty dashing.

[@3506Dodge]

The ads are fascinating. It's a lost world.

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Yes, it's a great preservation of history from a freer time. AIDS changed everything forever, among them taking the life of our host Vito here.

[@DentalTech1000]

This show is introduced by handsome Frank O'Dowd, who sadly died of AIDS in 1988. Vito Russo, who interviews John Waters, died of AIDS in 1990.

[@sentidocomun2304]

I can't find any news about Frank O'dowd. Where can I find news about him? Thanks!

[@DentalTech1000]

@@sentidocomun2304 There is almost nothing on the internet about him. I found out he died in a listing of AIDS deaths from 1988, but I don't know the exact day.

[@sentidocomun2304]

@@DentalTech1000 Thanks a lot dentalTech1000!!!

[@jakecavendish3470]

So sad

[@ramlathers8182]

In case you're wondering, the funk number that plays on the grand central resort spots is 'Jungle Waterfall' by Chick Corea.

[@marc444]

The ad breaks are just so special too. Proper history.

[@jimmyl324]

Such a treat listening to John Waters

[@jakecavendish3470]

He'd have made the _perfect_ Gomez Addams

[@DWNicolo]

A snapshot of a gay world that no longer exists.

[@maxwilson4748]

True

[@cauldronmoon]

Fast forward 47 years!!! John has a ⭐ on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . And has an exhibit at the Academy Museum in LA.. until 4th August 2024.... John Waters is brilliant.😀

[@jamesjenner6725]

John was so charming.and a relaxing voice

[@rudyciavarro]

wow such a watch. not only a great Johnny Waters interview but a testament to old school underground ideology. fantastic!

[@wendygarcia1279]

I Still Have A Crush On John Waters 😍😍😍Today In 2022

[@baronsaturday9529]

Yeah why not. He's very attractive and charming..

[@Scorchy666]

I love Waters. Absolutely a film as well as American legend.

[@lydianbreaux9332]

John Waters is like if my narcissistic grandmother was fun. I need him ® in my life.

[@geekbaritone]

I think it was after hairspray he became more prominent in the mainstream. Then did my favorite serial mom.

[@erpthompsonqueen9130]

Thank you.

[@bigguys45s29]

I love the piano music in the background of that Jan Wallman’s restaurant ad.

[@AndrewGotthard]

Thanks for uploading this gem of an interview. Seriously great stuff.

[@GyntherMeyer]

This is awesome. Thanks for uploading!

[@brandonbates4434]

The commercials have an Interdimensional Cable feel to them.

[@baronsaturday9529]

Interzone..

[@geekbaritone]

Vito another victim of the epidemic. Makes you want to go in time and tell them what's coming around the corner.

[@bomtown]

Really interesting and relaxed interview/ interviewer! Hot mustache!

[@pagliaccinodlemantra]

Gay TV it's really something different.

[@abigailstradler4923]

This is a great interview, to say nothing of the absolute banger of a time capsule to a gay-world-gone-by in commercials, but what I'm happiest about is the introduction to the book by stripper/escort Liz Renay! Its on audible, I'm listening to it right now, and it is *juicy*~

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Enjoyed!

[@danielstefane312]

what else can you say about about JohnWaters he is the Master of his Genera -must tell all to check this out March 2021

[@sexobscura]

*The scene from FEMALE TROUBLE when Dawn gives birth on a filthy couch and chews off the umbilical cord was downright HILARIOUS ... ... as is the ENTIRE film*

[@joshuasilva5429]

22:45 and on is absolutely hilarious!

[@thehitcher7044]

These are fantastic! Do you have the one with Jayson MacBride for A night at the Adonis? I think It might be tape 16? I have been looking for it. These are beautiful. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing them!

[@michaelmcgee8543]

What became of this show?

[@davidoran123]

Any fan of Maleficent is fine with me.

[@MrLChurchill]

What sort of t shirt is the interviewer wearing?

[@JimiLoko0822]

Cool gay ads....

[@regiment6541]

5:52 John Waters:”I had a girl friend that worked in a camera store…”🤔🧐..yeah right John😒

[@Georgina-lv9bt]

um are you trying to say that John Waters was in the closest...being interviewed n a GAY TALK SHOW? sounds pretty ignorant...I'm pretty sure that he meant girlfriend in a platonic sense and if he didnt its very likely he did have girlfriends when he was younger and figuring himself out. The fact that you're insinuating he was lying in some way is quite stupid.

[@smallpercentage]

L ♥ V E !!!

[@cayetanotirado5907]

Damn, John Waters was cute when he was in his 30's; Life is so cruel! It strips men if their good looks slowly but surely.

[@jamesjenner6725]

Exactly.he was cute

[@baronsaturday9529]

What? He always looks very attractive.. I wouldn't wanna have a cutesy boy around, I rather have a man, specially a good looking guy like Waters. Maybe you'll understand when you're a little older.. Young people seem to shiver these days of getting older, while it gets more interesting with each passing minute. Men are much better in the sack too, more passionate and experienced! Jummy..

[@michaelmcgee8543]

That is usual advertisement of a sex store.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

john has emphasema?

[@daddyaf945]

This program always seems to start with creeper footage. Lol

[@kviz1111]

Living desperate 😂

[@Nahchomama]

Dude put a baby in the refrigerator! Unbelievable! Had to be more than once and imagine the trauma that baby had... he is lying about the dubbing the baby crying. I’d investigate this guy... if he’s still alive he’s still doing this shit

[@baronsaturday9529]

Jesus.. and you believe your own crap? If you're Chinese I bet you know what everyone did in your country with the one baby stuff, killing off the girls, and just let them starve to death in 'forget rooms' in hospitals. That's some real cruelty. Infanticide is much much worse than a genuine guy telling how it really was doing a movie. Grow up.

[@canmanlam]

Get a life!!!!

[@jeffclement2979]

He's adorable here Every interview I've watched just gets better A true American iconoclast Like Zappa

[@jamesjenner6725]

He was adorable.his voice is relaxing

[@projectcyclops]

John is so articulate and charming, always a pleasure to watch him being interviewed. Thank you for uploading.

[@cinemalover575]

A wonderful time capsule. Thanks for sharing.

[@planetofether5462]

Am I the only woman here? Helps confirm my suspicion that I'm really a gay man.

[@baronsaturday9529]

No you're not. And yeah, me too.. Hi from Holland ;)

[@bellaarnone7999]

Hi, I’m also another woman lol 😆!!!

[@rsf3119]

awesome archive on many levels...thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@thegreatsiberianitch]

Good work, thanks!

[@bawoman]

A young John Waters with hair! What a trip!

[@baronsaturday9529]

You must see him with his long hair and dark glasses when he was in his 20s or something, great looks..! (As always)

[@misterX1964]

Amazing find, thanks !!

[@davidmaclachlan]

Captivating!

[@Manawakitepuhoro]

Gosh John was handsome here!!!!!😜😜😜😜😜😜

[@baronsaturday9529]

Yeah... you must see him in his 20s with the long hair, doing interviews. Great looks.. But then again, he always looks great.
