Uncomfortable Brunch returns to its roots of transgression with John Waters’ notorious Pink Flamingos (1972), a film that remains as vile, hilarious, and gleefully obscene as ever. A cornerstone of midnight cinema, this filth epic stars Divine as the “filthiest person alive,” defending her title against a deranged couple who run a black market baby ring and aim to usurp her crown. What follows is a cavalcade of depravity that gleefully shreds all notions of decency, taste, and cinematic convention.

Screening Pink Flamingos during brunch—the day and meal typically reserved for polite conversation and bottomless mimosas—is a perfect manifestation of Uncomfortable Brunch’s mission: to disrupt comfort zones and foster discourse around provocative cinema. Waters’ film challenges not only traditional storytelling and aesthetics but the very idea of what belongs in public exhibition. More than just shock for shock’s sake, Pink Flamingos is a subversive act of defiance and queer punk rebellion. This movie is punk as fuck.

Whether you’re a seasoned filth elder or a first-time viewer with a strong stomach, Pink Flamingos offers the ultimate test of endurance and open-mindedness. Come hungry, leave queasy—and remember, no one gets out of this brunch clean.
