Crackpot, originally released in 1986, is John Waters' brilliantly entertaining litany of odd and fascinationg people, places and things. From Baltimore to Los Angeles, from William Castle to Pia Zadora, from the National Enquirer to Ronald Reagan's colon, Waters explores the depths of our culture. And he dispenses useful advice along the way: how not to make a movie, how to become famous (read: infamous), and of course, how to most effectively shock and make our nation's public laugh at the same time. Loaded with bonus features, this new special edition is guaranteed to leave you totally mental.
John Waters proves that he is one of the few American writers who can successfully legitimize junk culture.

reviewed Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters on July 27, 2011 Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters
I'll forever love John Waters for the following reasons
1. He has subscriptions to Jet and Women's Wear Weekly magazines.
2. He hates MCI (remember them?)
3. He attended a matinee of the Carebears movie, it was for research.
4. I now know that Baltimore once had an angry lesbian stripper who went by the name Zorro, and he tells a delightful story about a stripper vomiting off the side of the stage.
4. He's a fan of Gloria Spencer a 625lb gospel singer! How come I wasn't informed of this person's existence until now?!?
5. A wonderfully sweet piece about The Buddy Deane Show, the local dance show in Baltimore that inspired Hairspray.
6. It's always good to know that Ryan O'Neal is a violent asshole who knocked his son's two front teeth out. I live for this kind of useless information!
7. His love letter to the National Enquirer during its glory days, yes the mid 80's was a grand time for tabloid reading. Did I ever mention how much I miss the 80's?
8. I didn't know that Pia Zadora and Jermaine Jackson did a duet together!
9. I now have hours ahead of me Googling movies and criminals I just now read of.
10. He reads James M. Cain and reminded I need to read Peyton Place
11. His essays made me laugh, I haven't laughed like that in a while.
12. Did I mention the lesbian stripper named Zorro and the 625lb gospel singer Gloria Spencer? Yeah I know I did but I have to mention them again.
