Tales: Rocky Horror Picture Show
from Tales of Our Time
This week, I'm doing an interview with my sibling Jessie Stephens about what they call one of their "gateway media" to the LBGTQ community: The Rocky Horror Picture Show! First seen on-screen as a movie in 1975, written by Richard O'Brien, we discuss how this film became what it is today-- and how the act of "shadow casting" can help bring some of the more problematic aspects of the film into the future, while also preserving its place in history as a gathering point for many in the queer community.
