Not to disrespect Shankman, but a tongue-in-cheek John Waters movie starring RuPaul and several of the Drag Race queens would be incredible.

pastadudde Mar 27, 2026 +41

to be fair the 2007 adaptation (of the stage musical) has supplanted itself much deeper into pop culture psyche compared to the original John Waters movie. so I can understand why the marketing team decided to word it that way.

Can’t shake the AI feeling tho… the wheels disappear, the track doesn’t look right, the grooves on the train don’t align, the windows warp towards the inside….

Sorry do you want your own water fountain or something? I appreciate art made by people with different life experiences than I’ve had.

I'm expecting it to be super campy and irreverent. Might be a little more cheesy than Naked Gun or Airplane, knowing RuPaul's simplistic sense of humor. The fact that it stars several other drag queens from Drag Race is gonna put this squarely in slapstick territory. I'll definitely go see it.
