Who is Kroger Babb and What is His Connection to John Waters?! - Part 2

February 25, 2024 • Adam & Charlotte • Season 3 • Episode 37

In Part 2 of this episode, we continue our exploration of the question “Who is Kroger Babb and what is his connection to John Waters?”

We examine the rest of Kroger Babb’s exceptional career after “Mom and Dad.” From introducing Ingmar Bergman to America with “Monika Story Of a Bad Girl” to ushering in the Mondo cycle of films in the 1960s with “Karimoja,” to his involvement in the Astounding Swedish Ice Cream Diet!

Join us as we discuss why Kroger Babb isn’t more widely remembered and why his films aren’t more readily available.
