Brian Brems is a Professor of English at the College of DuPage, where he teaches film studies. He is the author of The Films of Walter Hill: Another Time, Another Place (2022) and the co-editor of ReFocus: The Films of Paul Schrader (2020), with other publications appearing in several edited collections on Westerns and horror films. He is also a regular contributor to a variety of online publications, including Vague Visages.

"The unique and often outlandish films of John Waters, including Pink Flamingos, Cry-Baby and Pecker, require a specifically greased lens if they are to be critically examined. Michelle Moore and Brian Brems have marshalled a stellar troupe of contributors who dismantle Waters' films from a variety of angles, from Waters' 'film family' and identity (including his own), to tropes such as comedy, celebrity culture, trash and melodrama. This is a highly enjoyable and smart book that combines intellectual rigor with the necessary flavour and smell that befits Waters' oeuvre.
