Movie Meltdown - Episode 329
This week we welcome back epyon5 to discuss The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not only do we talk about the film itself, but also personal memories of our experiences as well as the impact the movie had on society and the lives of it's devoted fanbase.
And as we remember that when you're
a teenager EVERYTHING is the end of the world, we also mention...
The Vogue, Richard O'Brien: time traveler, Hammer horror, hangin'
out with people in their underbritches... and yelling obscenities,
it had one screen, Sci Fi, being theatrical, being progressive, Tim
Curry, Star Wars, a presentation in English class, a virgin
spelling bee, The Ziegfeld Theater, subtle nuances, at 3 o'clock in
the morning they will not serve you mashed potatoes, schlocky
horror, Pi, getting turned into a shoe store, GG Allin, a scathing
review, 4711, Jim Steinman, Barry Bostwick, comic book effects,
Funko Pop!, The Full Monty, Oakley Court, it makes my heart hurt,
Jim Sharman, the amazing Kool-Aid machine, Legend, George Clooney,
working your way up the space ladder, George Lucas, Spike and Mike,
a totally dorky guy, everyone wants to be Batman, MST3K, the
Godfather of transvestite aliens, 50's saxophone playing rock 'n
roll, Patricia Quinn, faking an orgasm, the simpler they are the
more memorable they are, Dark City, I'm pretty... ok, breaking down
barriers, Richard Nixon, dressed as a set piece, Meat Loaf,
Starlog, the intricate plot, Bad for Good, Susan Sarandon and are
all Tatianas crazy?
Spoiler Alert: Obviously, spoilers for The Rocky Horror Picture Show on this episode. So for any virgins still left out there, go (to a theater and) see it NOW... for spoiler-free listening.
"All these horrible things your
parents tell you not to do, this one night a week - it's ok to do
it... and you can be, whatever you want to be!"
