Episode 412 - 50 Years of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

It’s the 50th anniversary of the cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and we are doing the Time Warp on today’s podcast.  Why did Richard O’Brien create the original stage production? Where was the movie filmed, and what is its connection to 1960s horror films? How was the cast selected, and who else was vying for a role? What was Tim Curry’s inspiration for Frank’s accent?  How did it become a cult movie, and what influence has it had on pop culture since its release? Join Mark Baumgarten, Juan Sanmiguel, and Vicky Jakubowski as we discuss anything and everything about this subversive counter-culture flick turned mainstream darling as it marks five decades of the mantra: “Don’t dream it, be it.”To listen to our previous episodes from 2012 to the present, featuring more than 150 celebrity interviews from shows like Doctor Who, Star Trek, Farscape, and others, visit our MarkWHO42 Classic Episodes YouTube playlist!To reach out or contact us, write to [email protected]
