Filmmaker John Waters joins Liane to talk about the re-release of his 25-year-old cult classic film, "Pink Flamingos." When it was first released as an underground midnight movie in 1972, some critics called it vile and repulsive for its graphic, and in some places grosteque, scenes. Since then, Water has written, produced and directed more mainstream films, including "Hairspray" and "Serial Mom." A new version of "Pink Flamingos" is out in theaters this weekend, complete with outtakes, the original trailer and comments by Waters. (Soundtrack by Hip-O records)
