About this listen

Originally released in 2023, we’re re-publishing this episode to celebrate the 50th anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW — the longest-running continuous theatrical release of all time and one of the most iconic cult films in cinema history.

What began as a fringe stage production in a tiny experimental theater space in London evolved into a global phenomenon — complete with costumes, callbacks, and midnight screenings that are still going strong half a century later.

In this episode, we trace ROCKY HORROR’s full journey: from its origins on the London stage to its ill-fated original release, its rise through the midnight movie circuit, and its ultimate legacy as a defining piece of cult cinema.

Whether you’ve done the Time Warp a thousand times or you’re just discovering it, this is the story behind THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.

Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.

This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, Justin Bishop & Todd A. Davis.
