  • Suddenly Jorge - "The John Waters" Episode

    ¡Bienvenidos, mi gente! Today is a special episodio, indeed. He's been called the "Pope of Trash," but for several generations, he's remained the only man who could make bad taste stand as high art. As he nears his 80th birthday, the divine John Waters refuses to head for a rocking chair. Instead, he's going to rock the Cal State LA Luckman Fine Arts Complex on April 14th with his one-man show, Going to Extremes. 

    For this episode of "Suddenly Jorge," I had the chance to enjoy a rollicking phone call with the legendary filmmaker and author, offering a preview of his radical comedy crusade. Prepare for a Waters event that is as sharp and as triggering as ever. He's not here to lecture. He's here to deliver a sermon to the converted and faithful. Find out why he thinks humor remains the ultimate form of rebellion, why he believes the radical middle is the newest extreme, and discover a few more revelations that might make you say, "¡Qué Diablos!" 

    Time for communion, my friends!

    Enjoy la charla.

  • Carreón Cinema Club: The “Films That Make You Go Hmm!” Episode
    What is it about certain movies that straddle both lines of success and failure, the ones you wonder, "Was that the best they could do?" Those are the films that make you go Hmm. Depending on your tastes, any list can be chock full of surprises, but I'm only going to offer up three titles for now: Fatal Attraction, Cats, and Disney’s The Black Hole.

  • Carreón Cinema Club: The “It’s a Disaster” Episode
    The holy trinity of The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, and The Towering Inferno reign supreme for reasons that have much to do with their hammy star casts, sprawling narratives, and varying degrees of special effects. The latest installment of the Carreón Cinema Club: "It's a Disaster" Edition spotlights five films that either embrace the camp or offer a more grounded reality to the term "disaster."
    1. The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) -- Directed by Val Guest
    2. Threads (1984) -- Directed by Mick Jackson
    3. The Swarm (1978) -- Directed by Irwin Allen
    4. Airport (1970) -- Directed by George Seaton
    5. Greenland (2020) -- Directed by Ric Roman Waugh
    With tongue firmly placed in cheek, too, you can read on to discover why these films were chosen for the Club at www.writtenbyjorgecarreon.com
