Show Notes

It's time to give yourself over to absolute pleasure and dive into the decadent debauchery of Jim Sharman's 1975 cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Everything about this movie is iconic with good reason; the cast and music have stood the test of time. But does the story? Jaime does the research and examines a favorite from her youth while Eric experiences the movie in a whole new way. 

Special thanks to Ben for consulting on this episode! 

Content warnings: sexual content, brief gory moments, cannibalism, and two brief scenes with dubious consent and sexual coercion.
