that third act rly elevates this movie to an all-time favorite movie for me, if you ever rewatch pause every time the merch table is onscreen for extra jokes its amazing
Once again I fell in love with this old gem watching it through your eyes. Your surprise at realising that this is a twisted flick is priceless! My absolute favourite scene is Dotty Hinkle being dragged out of the courtroom and hurling every foul cuss word she can at Serial Mum. The phone prank is when your eyes lit up like a X-mas tree, so satisfying watching that. So far, you're one of the better reaction guys out there. I've enjoyed several of your reactions/review vids. Thank you.
I've never seen a reaction video to a John Waters' film! Love your reactions. Would LOVE to see you react to the Australian GEM. Muriel's Wedding (1994), with Toni Collette! Cheers!
My favorite John Waters film is "Polyester". Unfortunately, it wouldn't be feasible to review without the Odorama card that came with the movie. During the film, a number flashes on the screen which correspond to the number on the card and you smell what's happening in the scene. The film features Divine, Edith Massey (a John Waters staple) and Tab Hunter.
John Waters is a Baltimore legend. The obnoxious brunette smacking gum in court is a old friend of mine I did theater with, a lot of my friends are in this and, especially, Waters' film "Cry Baby."
@@mozyflicks "Cry Baby" is worth a watch, then, for sure. John Waters just had an exhibit at the Academy Museum here in L.A. that was comprehensive and wonderful (it's just a block from our apartment.) He's a Baltimore-based eccentric and beloved weirdo.
Thanks, Mozy! ✂ John Waters, the writer/director of this, is one of my idols. The comedies I made in college were compared to his stuff. Mr. Waters' early work is really weird and edgy. Everything he made since HAIRSPRAY (1988) has been relatively mainstream. Yes, the Broadway musical of the same name is based on it. He did not direct the 2007 remake which was based on the Broadway version... but all of the key ingredients are still present. He even had a cameo role in it. Try to watch both versions. 🔸 Also, check out PECKER (1998), CECIL B. DEMENTED (2000) and A DIRTY SHAME (2004). If you like those, too, you might be ready for his wackier beginnings!
Soooo happy to see you react to this underrated cult classic of a film. This movie is so good. It is so funny at times & has such great practical horror movie deaths sprinkled in it throughout.. Man! This is such a good film.. That scene in the closet is a great one that combines & blends both slasher horror (with that devil-like sneer of a smile as Mrs. Sterner slides the hangers from left to right, slowing building the suspense & slowly revealing Bev's face, before a pair of sharp scissors slams into her guts) & comedy, as when she looks down, not only is she bleeding from this scissors stab wound in her abdomen, but looking FURTHER down to her feet, we clearly see a little blood-covered mouse (that she was just complaining to her husband about) just RANDOMLY, BUT SAVAGELY, GNAWING AWAY AT HER RIGHT FOOT!😂😂 It's the little WTF? moments like THESE that makes 'Serial Mom' such a beloved film by all it's fans..
I agree! It's so well done. I honestly had such a great time watching it. Id happily place it up there as one of the better comedy flicks I've seen so far.
John Waters will either make you cry with laughter/joy or turn your stomach with disgust. Often simultaneously 😅 Serial Mom rides that line so well, and Kathleen Turner's face sells every bit of her crazy (I'm on her with most everything except labor day🤕). She's a murderous blonde idol, like Debbie (Joan Cusack) from Addams Family Values but motherly 🥰 Some top John Waters - Original Hairspray, Crybaby, Cecil B Demented (this one is just insane 🤪). All with Ricki Lake, who plays the daughter here. Anything earlier than Hairspray (1988) should be watched with caution. Waters is a madman and let his flag fly for a while.
12:30 "Police are going to put 2+2 together, right?" Not while distracted by miss Traci Lords 😉 Look for her in several John Waters pictures (and the opening of Blade), but do your browser history a favor and never ever search 'Traci Lords movies' with safesearch off 😅 Also her band Lords of Acid rocks 🤘
How hilarious is this film! I hadn't seen this before. I know the Dad from the TV show Grace and Frankie, but he is tonnes older in that. But the kids being baby Ricki Lake and Matthew Lillard. I love Matthew Lillard and have never seen him this young. I think the youngest I have seen him is in Scream or Hackers. He started way earlier than I realised.
Kathleen Turner was brilliant in this! You can tell this movie was made by t he brilliant John Waters. My mom is now 70 and she still says she wants to "go Serial Mom" on people who piss her off!
lol I love how she has a leave it to beaver mom look but an insane personality lol! if you want more films like this I reccomend the film Polyester that's directed by the same man who made this film. It had a scandal for a while. it starts a dragqueen as the leading lady and there was a whole issue about a famous straight man kissing a dragqueen. I will mention though that this film has numbers that pop up. its because this film came with a scratch and sniff card whatever the character was smelling a number would pop up and you'd find out what it was in the next sequence lol. the pizza boy dream was insane though lol.
That phone scene. This is actually one of the tamer, less unhinged movies John Waters made. I would have to seriously warn you if you were to think about reacting to Pink Flamingoes or Female Trouble It's wild he had Patty Hearst play the juror with the white shoes. She had her own court battle in real life.
Bro i aint got the time & been 30 yrs since seen many of these "Berfore Time Days"😅 ditties, but just had to drop in when saw you pop here to say, once again, i like your style & know I'm gonna enjoy being here, friend. As "romantic" or dramataic as what im about to say may seem, if you dont know, you should! These lil reaction channels, though mostly sublminal on this end, are Community/Unity in these dire times & a Blessing to world! THANK YOU for what you do!!! Every little bit helps, Brother MOzy!🙏❤️ Glad i found you & hopefully see you again soon? Rock On!!! 🤘🌎❤️
@@charrid56maclean ahahha ok true story. In 1982 i was stationed at Luke AFB AZ. In Tempe an art house movie theater was showing at midnight Pink Flamingos. Being a DEEP in the closet gay guy in my early 20's i took it upon myself to take some of the guys from the dorm to see it . I had already seen it. Needless to say none of them got the humor except one guy who i later found out was also DEEP in the closet.
Maybe start with Polyester and then take on Pink Flamingos? He's gonna LOVE Edith Massey and Divine, especially since we already know he loves Mink Stole.
@@craigpacker7171 back in 83, still in PHX, but right after i got out of the USAF, i went to see the band Killer Pussy. Edith Masset was playing with them and she gave me a kiss and i slipped her the tounge so i can forever haver her DNA in me.
She is a great actress, this movie is so good, she also stared in Romancing the stones, jewel of the Nile with Michael Douglas, Charndlers drag queen dad and in dumb and dumberer with Jim Carrey 🙏🇬🇧🥳
@@mozyflicks His early stuff is experimental movie making let's just say. Hairspray is mainstream (now) and I guess Cry-Baby is too. So make that three mainstream movies. I think it's safe to say Pink Flamingos and Female Troubles are the two early ones people will want you to see.
@@rumbledumpthumpershaker6735 sure thing! Ill def do them. I’m a little nervous about about pink flamingo after someone else suggested it lol. But i’m game.👍✨
@@mozyflicksyou’re gorgeous! And I have to agree with you on the prank call. The setting of Dottie Hinkle’s house and her discomfort when the phone rings just tops it of. ☠️
Oh wow, just had a look, hey that's pretty cool she can poke fun at herself like that, by being a part of a flick like this, after what she went through.
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson MOzy On, friends! ✌️🌎❤️
The phone prank scene killed me 😂💀📞
“Listen to your filthy mouth”; that scenes never gets old for me😂😂😂😎
No one but Kathleen Turner could pull this off! Her distinctive, husky voice and the over-the-top "50s housewife" look was perfect!
that third act rly elevates this movie to an all-time favorite movie for me, if you ever rewatch pause every time the merch table is onscreen for extra jokes its amazing
You're right, the third act is done well here.
This is my favorite movie. I'm so glad you watched it and enjoyed it! The phone scene is perfection.
Thank you!
One of my favorites growing up ❤ so happy to see someone react to it!!!
Me too. Loved this movie.
I really enjoyed it. Cheers

Aw thank you
I'm from Baltimore and live 1 block away from the video store that Matthew Lillard's character works at. Its now a "Smoothie King."
Damn, those were the days :-(
I love this film! I once sat next to Ms. Turner at a bar in NYC. She was fantastic! Thanks for this reaction!
Oh, id imagine she's great. Such a talent she is.
No woman would! LOL! This movie is so damn funny!
@@FlixCreEightR oh it really is. 😂 it’s a fave now.

"straight jacket" is the name of the movie they were watching in the video store...

I'd ask you to watch Pink Flamingos, but I don't think you'd ever be ready for that.

Thank you! Sure, ill add them to the list as well.
12:54 movie is called Straight Jacket starring Joan Crawford
Oooo thank you!
I liked that movie! Joan Crawford was such a great actor. I'll watch anything she was in.
You should do Undercover Blues it's from the same actress and Denis Quide
Stanley Tucci was hilarious! 😂
@@catseyesmidnight2889 100percent

Its def a keeper for me now as well.
I speak in John Waters lines. You should go back to his earlier films. But beware, you probably can't show them on UA-cam. Loved the reaction.
