We would like... if we may... to discuss The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).

The Rocky Horror Picture Show refuses to behave like a normal movie, and that's exactly why it's endured for nearly fifty years. What began as a scrappy stage musical by Richard O'Brien exploded into a midnight-movie phenomenon, complete with callbacks, costumes, rituals, and a fiercely devoted audience that treats the film less like a text and more like a living performance.

On this special Projection Booth episode, Mike digs into Rocky Horror's strange alchemy—how Jim Sharman's film adaptation transformed camp pastiche into a communal experience, how Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter rewired mainstream ideas of sexuality and performance, and how audience participation became inseparable from the movie itself.
