Cry, Baby Why Our Tears Matter

I'm going to do the murder of Carolyn Wasilewski, AKA the crybaby, what the crybaby movie was based off of.

Written by your, and everything by your friend, John Waters.

My favorite scene in any movie ever...it's the one where Divine dances down the fucking street to the camera.

Female trouble, thank you. So sorry. My apologies.

But it truly is, when I was watching that movie with my friends, that scene started and I laughed so loud and so hard because it's Divine just dancing like to the song down the street.

I'm going to do the murder of Carolyn Wasilewski, AKA the crybaby, what the crybaby movie was based off of.

Written by your, and everything by your friend, John Waters.

In 1990, John Waters releases his film, Cry Baby starring Johnny Depp as a leader of the delinquent gang also called the drapes.

He is on record saying that Carolyn Wazuliski's case is the one, is the inspiration behind it.

Our guest is Reverend Benjamin Perry, author of Cry Baby, Why Our Tears Matter.

It starts with an experience I had when I was 21 years old, fresh out of college and just beginning seminary.

And so in that moment, I realized that I had been living inside this paralyzing numbness for a decade.

And I remember thinking it was going to be really easy because, you know, it's crying. Everybody cries.

And finally I pushed myself to the emotional brink. It really took me thinking about, you know, what would I say to my parents if they were dying?

If you want to hear more from Benjamin and what he's learned about crying, he has a book coming out called Cry Baby, Why Are Tears Matter?

And there's a comma after the cry like cry baby.
