#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

Davey Calico's thoughts on John Waters' Female Trouble!!!

Davey Calico Season 2 Episode 27

For this chaotic hott mess coffee break recorded on a lazy Sunday Funday, I welcome back one of my closest friends, the magical and marvelous Davey Calico, for a gloriously unhinged deep dive into my all-time favorite movie—John Waters’ Female Trouble. If you don’t love this film, I simply do not trust you. We’re talking camp, filth, and the unfiltered genius of our local Baltimore Trash Elder.

Davey first graced the pod in December 2023 when we took a paranormal road trip to Gettysburg, where I made him watch Vanderpump Rules for the first time (cultural education!). Now, he’s back, and we’re diving into everything from cult cinema to cats to his latest mystical glow-up—expanding his yoga and meditation practice to include Qi Gong, Alchemy, and Men’s Work, which he’s been teaching me (and yes, I am obsessed). If you’re vibing with Davey’s wisdom, check out his books—Weaving Within: The Breath of Tantric and Welcome to the Womb: On Neo-Tantra—available on Amazon!

We also get into:
Female Trouble as a modern-day prophecy—John Waters knew the assignment.
✨ The eternal battle of toxic masculinity vs. toxic femininity (and why queer folks have it figured out).
✨ My unsolicited—but always correct—social media & influencer tips.
✨ Boundaries, queerness, and why Zenobia Darling is basically the Divine of podcasting.
✨ Veganism, Davey’s “Ninjas,” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and his Chipotle journey (a saga).
✨ Baltimore’s magic, mess, and why Female Trouble is still ahead of its time.

So, grab a Newport (Divine style), pour a kombucha, and enjoy this coffee break with the spectacular and always inspiring Davey Calico. 💅🔥
