Featured on the October 13th, 2022 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:

  • Legendary auteur John Waters seems to have retired from making movies...so he made his latest project Liarmouth a novel. It's a "feel-bad romance", one that may in fact bring him out of retirement to direct - if the mood strikes. John Waters will be in Tucson on October 15th at the Fox Tucson Theatre.
