Episode 303 - Shock Treatment

In 1981, the creators of the uber midnight-movie classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show decided to press their luck and attempted to bottle lightning one more time…in a musical non-sequel sequel called Shock Treatment. Brad & Janet return in this messy media satire about reality television and our corporate overlords that was about 20 years ahead of its time…but arriving about 5 years too late. With no really memorable numbers ala Time Warp to speak of, what’s left is a shallow spiritual sequel to Rocky Horror that is utterly devoid of that predecessor’s weird glam-rock, gender-fluid charm. It looks great, but there ain’t much underneath, which makes it about as 1980’s as it gets. Yea verily. 0:00 - Intros 4:05 - Late Night With The Devil 5:05 - Interview With The Vampire (AMC) 11:10 - The Boys (Season 4) 13:15 - Jane Weidlin (live) 15:35 - How Music Got Free (1622 napster bad) 21:40 - Ren Faire (Max) 25:40 - The Green Planet 33:20 - Shock Treatment
