621. Cry-Baby (1990)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a Justice For Johnny t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a Mega Pint glass of water*

W: Welcome to my lair…welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock shoots fire into the sky and enters the lair*

W: With the Johnny Depp trial in full swing and nearing its end, Neyzor Blades and I are running JOHNNY DEPP TRIBUTE WEEK! Yesterday I took a look at the boring Slow Burn, but today Neyz and I will be taking a look at one of Depp’s cult classics….the 1990 musical CRY-BABY!

*Neyz is in the recliner wearing standard attire*

N: What is this about?

W: Grease on crack….somewhat. Apparently John Waters decided to make a 1950’s style musical and Johnny Depp plays the lead role in this West Side Story meets Grease comedy.

N: That could be good.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: Could be. I like Grease and I tolerated West Side Story….combining the two should be interesting. Its got Ricki Lake in her prime coming off Hairspray so it should be at least good to look at. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for CRY-BABY!

N: Baltimore??

W: Guess LA was overdone.
