On this episode of the Cult Film Club Shawn, Jaime and Paxton dive stage-dive into the weird and wonderful world of Hedwig and the Angry Inch!

Written, directed and starring John Cameron Mitchell with music by Stephen Trask, this modern musical masterpiece follows a young boy named Hansel as his world is turned upside down, his body inside out, and his genius stolen. Hansel becomes Hedwig, a transsexual diva whose life story makes for an amazing glam/punk rock album. We talk about the film, the amazing soundtrack, the actors, and the stage play that influenced the whole production.
