The cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show will celebrate its 50th anniversary this fall. Timed to the occasion, HarperPop will be publishing ROCKY HORROR: A Behind the Scenes Look at the Cult Classic (HarperPop; on sale September 30, 2025; 256 pages, 4-color throughout, $50.00; ISBN 9780063385689), a visual compendium of rarely-scene photographs by legendary rock photographer Mick Rock. Full of unique behind-the-scenes moments from the production of the iconic film, ROCKY HORROR is set to be the ultimate collector's item for fans and cinephiles alike.Capturing the essence of a cultural phenomenon that defied the odds, Rock's collection is a testament to the film's enduring legacy and its vivid undercurrents of sexual fluidity and B-movie camp. The Rocky Horror Picture Show initially flopped upon its release but rose to become a midnight cult classic, inspiring audiences to interact with the film through live performances and spirited audience participation.The late Mick Rock-famous for his work with music legends like David Bowie, Queen, and Blondie-was granted exclusive access during the six weeks of filming. His camera captured not only the action on set but also the essence and energy that made Rocky Horror unique. "I could snap whatever caught my eye, stirred my imagination," said Rock. This creative freedom resulted in an extraordinary collection of images that offer a fresh perspective on the film.The book features a foreword by Richard O'Brien, the creative force behind Rocky Horror, who reflects on the film's incredible journey to becoming a theatrical staple with the longest-running release in history. Interviews with cast members, Mick's personal notes, and other production ephemera are beautifully compiled in a stunning four-color format. The book also contains quotes from the legion of fans of the movie, including Joan Jett, Billy Corgan, Courtney Love, Juliette Lewis, Jinkx Monsoon, Duff McKagan, Anna Sui, Karen O, Trixie Mattel, Peaches, Norman Reedus, Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), and many, many more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

It's our favorite time of year again! We've got two movies that ostensibly feature a countdown to tragedy on Halloween night, but really we're mostly here to talk up Salem tourism with 1993's Hocus Pocus. After that, it's glorious whatthefuckery that only Cannon can bring you with 1990's Rockula, and we wonder where this movie has been all our lives.Email: info@channel-37.comTwitter: @WHXN37

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!Jurassic World: Rebirth is a visually impressive but narratively uneven return to the dinosaur blockbuster formula. Critics praise its thrilling set pieces, polished effects, and renewed focus on the prehistoric stars that made the franchise iconic. It's a big, loud, entertaining ride that captures some of the old magic, and for audiences simply craving dino mayhem, it largely delivers. The cast is solid, the action sequences are well-executed, and it feels more respectful of the original Jurassic Park tone than some recent installments.But the story itself doesn't quite evolve — it's weighed down by thin characters, predictable plotting, and a few unnecessary subplots. Many reviewers describe it as fun but forgettable, a movie that entertains in the moment yet doesn't leave a lasting impact. That's why it sits at around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes: half the critics enjoyed the spectacle, while the other half felt the franchise is stuck in the past. In short, Rebirth roars but doesn't soar!Remember to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link is in the show, you will also support DMR!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

In this episode we are talking about the 2025 horror movie starring, for some reason, Pete Davidson. We also take a look at the Swedish 2025 movie The home (Hemmet in Swedish) Starring Gizen Erdogan and Philip Oros. Two very different movies with the same name. Is there actually a connection here outsie of the name? No not really. We just wanted to talk about both of them.

Fifty years after it first terrified — and amused — audiences, “The Giant Spider Invasion” is crawling back onto the screen. The cult classic about extraterrestrial, blood thirty spiders was filmed in the Gleason, Wisconsin area and is beloved by campy horror fans. It even got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. Now, “The Giant Spider Invasion” is being reimagined for its 50th anniversary, with new scenes filmed in northern Wisconsin and a theater release around Halloween. Dan Davies is a Wisconsin native himself who has been cast as the lead actor in the new footage. He talked with WPR’s Shereen Siewert about the film.

We welcome Rhonda Shear, an intrepid entrepreneurial trailblazing woman in the fields of comedy, 90s late night TV, and online intimate apparel sales.  Rhonda has so much to tell us!Her iconic USA weekend movie show, Up All Night is coming to Youtube! Her cheeky, late-night, movie marathon antics pulled in big ad dollars and turned B-movies into must-see-TV. But, before finding her voice, Rhonda's early days in Hollywood were fun but bumpy as she fought to prove that a gorgeous and sexy woman could also be smart and funny. Rhonda's bold approach was to tear down doors, almost literally. She and her improv partner crashed soundstages to break into their act on the sets of Steve Allen, Merv Griffin and The Smothers Brothers!Rhonda's adventurous path ultimately brought her back to her junior high school sweetheart, Van Fagan who is now her husband and business partner. Together, they have forged an empire that includes lingerie, loungewear and the celebrated “Ahh Bra. “And like any lingerie mogul who began her career in comedy, Rhonda is thrilled to be returning to her roots with an Up All Night reboot. It's a collaboration with the Kings of Horror Youtube Channel, combining her production know-how and facilities with their massive 14,000-title B-movie library. The first installment drops on October 25th.Rhonda reflects on a life lived boldly, the lessons she's learned, and why she proudly calls herself an “accidental feminist.” Plus, IMDB Roulette takes us through Rhonda's bombshell guest spots and a we play a round of Do You Know More Than Google?

Frank sits down with Graveyard from Distance Nerding to revisit the cult favorite Trick 'r Treat. They unpack the film's comic-book anthology structure, Michael Dougherty's direction, how lighting and practical effects sell the Halloween vibe, and why “respecting the rules” is the movie's secret engine. The conversation widens into horror's ebb-and-flow trends, gateway recommendations, and a peek at Graveyard's current indie film projects. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and guest setup 00:10 First watch reactions and why this pick works 02:03 Two-minute plot challenge and interwoven stories overview 04:10 Rewatch factor and Halloween traditions 06:09 Nonlinear storytelling and comic-book anthology DNA 07:56 Michael Dougherty's vision, pacing, and writing credits 09:17 Warm candlelight, menace, and classic horror lighting tricks 10:04 Practical effects vs CGI, werewolf transforms, and Sam's design 12:11 Should Sam's mask ever come off and why he feels like the watcher 14:14 Favorite character: Principal Steven and the vampire misdirect 15:47 Mr. Kreeg, justice by “the rules,” and that doorbell payoff 18:35 Rhonda, lit pumpkins, and surviving by respecting tradition 19:41 Sam as the embodiment of Halloween and who can “see” him 21:21 Horror in the household and YA horror for younger fans 22:52 Family horror traditions, Halloween and IT 24:01 Horror as a time capsule for taboos and fears 24:40 Vampires vs zombies discourse and trend cycles 26:26 Walking Dead as drama and genre fatigue 27:12 Theme spotlight: respect the past and know the why behind traditions 28:23 From overlooked release to cult classic in a torture-porn era 29:02 New French Extremity, Scream waves, and subgenre swings 30:12 Prestige horror, supernatural return, and James Wan's run 31:20 Great directors who cut their teeth on horror 32:34 Daylight horror shoutout to Midsommar 33:47 What to watch next: Krampus, Creepshow, and hidden gem The Burning 36:16 Distance Nerding's The Build, Conversations in the Void, and Mostly Pod at Night Mostly 40:43 Indie projects: Fairfield County, Night Terrors, a werewolf short, and Decades of Horror 42:46 Wrap and how to connect Key Takeaways Trick 'r Treat works because the anthology threads actively interlock, rewarding attention without feeling like separate shorts. The “rules of Halloween” aren't window dressing. They're story fuel that decide who lives, who dies, and why. Lighting sells the tone shift. Warm, cozy frames flip to dread in an instant. Practical effects age better than quick-hit CGI, especially for werewolves and Sam. The movie's cult rise tracks with broader horror cycles moving from torture-focused trends to craft-first “prestige” horror. Horror often mirrors the fears and taboos of its moment, which is why the genre keeps evolving and resurfacing. Want more in this vein? Krampus keeps Dougherty's dark humor, while Creepshow nails the comic-panel anthology spirit. Quotes “He is the embodiment of Halloween. Sam.” — Graveyard “The nonlinear works great because it feels like a comic book adaptation.” — Graveyard “Respect the traditions of the past. If you don't know them, learn them.” — Graveyard “Walking Dead is a drama that happens to have some zombies on it.” — Graveyard “There are so many shots I'm looking for more than I would in a normal movie.” — Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

The 1990s were the center of a new and exciting film movement, one where the major studios didn't have sole discretion as to which movies made it to the public; they all had pretend boutique sub-companies buying independent films from the festival circuit for that.

Not every launch succeeds on day one, but the brands that endure find ways to win over time.That's why we're turning to Clue, the 1985 murder mystery comedy with three different endings. Despite bombing at the box office, it grew into a beloved cult classic. In this episode, we break down its lessons with the help of special guest Christine Royston, Chief Marketing Officer at Wrike.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building strategy before execution, balancing brand and demand, and embracing word-of-mouth to turn audiences into passionate advocates.About our guest, Christine RoystonChristine Royston is a visionary global marketing executive with a proven track record of scaling iconic technology brands, architecting go-to-market transformation, and driving category leadership in the enterprise SaaS space.

She brings a global lens to every challenge, with leadership experience spanning the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Clue:Strategy matters more than star power. Even the best team can't save a weak story. Clue had an all-star cast, but without a clear throughline, it flopped at the box office. Christine draws a parallel to marketing: “Even if you have the best team in the world, without a great strategy, you're not gonna win. You've got to have a really fantastic strategy and a really great team to back it up, so that you can kind of play on everybody's strengths, but you're all pointed in the right direction.” Don't confuse talent or resources with strategy. Success comes from aligning everyone around a clear, shared story.Balance is everything. Clue was billed as both a mystery and a comedy, but leaned heavily into the silliness, confusing audiences who expected a tighter whodunit. Christine sees the same trap in B2B: “The movie was… touted as a mystery and a comedy, but it was definitely way more on the comedy side. And so thinking about that balance… and making sure that you're really being clear with your intent of messaging, your intent of the brand.” Great marketing requires a balance between brand, demand, clarity, and creativity. Overweighting one side leaves your audience uncertain about what you really stand for.Word of mouth is your secret weapon. Despite its failure in theaters, Clue became a cult classic through community and conversation. For Christine, that's a marketing playbook: “The fact that it did become this cult classic highlights the importance of word of mouth. How do you make sure you're getting in front of people who will be interested in your product, or interested in your movie, and making sure that you're leveraging communities [and] social as a way to get in front of people who maybe aren't going to go to the box office.” Buzz builds longevity. Beyond paid campaigns, you need advocates, communities, and conversations that keep your brand alive long after launch.Quote“ How do you differentiate yourself and do something a little different. Bring some humor into what is normally a pretty straight-laced B2B technology type of industry. I think people like a little fun in their day-to-day.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Christine Royston, Chief Marketing Officer at Wrike[01:01] Why Clue?[01:24] The Role of CMO at Wrike[03:05] The Origins of Clue, The Movie[14:04] B2B Marketing Lessons from Clue[28:10] Balancing Brand vs. Demand[29:50] Wrike's Brand and Content Strategy[33:21] AI's Role in Modern Marketing[35:11] Wrike's Survey on AI's Impact[40:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Christine on LinkedInLearn more about WrikeAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This week, Ben and Rob slam right into The Fanatic (2019), the bizarre thriller directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and starring John Travolta and Devon Sawa. It's a fever dream of celebrity obsession, questionable choices, and Nu-Metal energy that has us all asking: why was this film even made?What on earth were Travolta and Sawa thinking? Is The Fanatic based on a true story, or just Fred Durst's wild imagination? And the real kicker—is it good, bad, or that sweet spot of so-bad-it's-good? Maybe it even succeeds on its own bonkers B-movie terms.The lads dig into why this film is amazing (yes, amazing), what it really means beneath the awkward line deliveries and Limp Bizkit Easter eggs, and whether The Fanatic is destined to become the next funnybad cult classic for nu-metal survivors everywhere.PLUS!

“Cutting Deep into Horror” dives headfirst into Paul W.S. Anderson's cult-classic sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997). Hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi unpack how a “haunted house in space” premise, Catholic-guilt undertones, and that infamous “I don't need eyes to see” line still rattle nerves. We track the film's bomb-then-cult trajectory, the ‘90s horror landscape post-Scream, and why the movie's gothic production design and jump scares work because they reveal character, not just because they're loud.Inside this episodeEvent Horizon as a haunted house in space: gothic corridors, lightning over a gas giant, and experiential terror over pure plot.‘90s context: the post-Scream pivot and where big monster/ghost cycles fit in that moment.Latin distress call (“liberate tutemet ex inferis”) and what it implies about a hellish dimension.Character-first fear: Captain Miller's zero-G fire memory; Dr. Weir's grief, guilt, and “no eyes” transformation.The “Baby Bear” airlock sequence and how the movie makes space hazards horrifyingly tactile.CO₂ scrubbers, ticking clocks, and the ship as a possible “immune response” vs. the doorway to literal hell.Space-horror lineage mentioned: Hellraiser vibes; Jason X, Leprechaun 4, Critters 4; plus how Star Trek often dabbled in horror vibes across series.Final act choices: separation charges, sacrifice, and the fake-out rescue ending.Quick nod to the new 4K collector's edition they watched and why it pops.Where to watch (U.S.)(Verified at time of writing; availability changes often.)Paramount+ — stream with subscription https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/video/WMpyEztvg53KrruaW94ZmQtPsLDdFkOl MGM+ — stream with subscription https://www.mgmplus.com/movie/event-horizon-1997 FuboTV — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.fubo.tv/welcome/program/MV002971960000/event-horizon Philo — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.philo.com/player/show/U2hvdzo2MDg1NDg4OTk2NDg0NzI2NDc JustWatch (aggregator) — quick status snapshot across services https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/event-horizon-1997 Note: The Roku Channel can surface the movie via premium add-ons like Paramount+ or MGM+ inside Roku; selection varies. 

Send us a Question!PARTY PLEASER: Kathryn joins Melvin to summarize this year's cherry-picked so-bad-its-good movie, War of the Worlds (2025)! Featuring a cast of fairly known names (Ice Cube, Eva Longoria, Devon Bostick, Clark Gregg, and many more) this odd adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic limits its prose to a computer screen. What could go wrong?  Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 20-minutes discussing Chris Columbus' pull quote on the Harry Potter Reboot, "What's the point?", and the unique nature of rebooting Harry Potter as a series unlike other franchises that offer spinoffs, prequels, or alt-universe tales. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) The entire film is told through the prose of a computer screen (and sometimes cellphone screen). How do Kathryn and Melvin feel about this?Ultimately, the film is in over its head, and it isn't even sure how to handle dialogue and drama let alone thrills and action sequences.Yapping about how movies sometimes advertise products and how Tesla does NOT come out of War of the Worlds (2025) looking good.Beefing with Will Radford since he's a bad character and a bad dad.Melvin ponders why movies like this take off and how the streaming as a distribution format influences this sort of thing.The third act of the film, specifically the climax, is when everything bizarre and noteworthy happens.Recommendations:Castle Rock (Season 1) (2018) (TV-Series)Friday the 13th Part III (1982) (Movie)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

We're kicking off our INTERNATIONAL EEKS triple feature with Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 cult classic Possession. Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani's infamous Berlin breakdown becomes the backdrop for one of cinema's strangest monsters—a slimy, seductive tentacled being. We dig into the film's 6 monster reveals, the unforgettable subway scene, the Cold War paranoia beneath the story, and how themes of love, control, and identity feed into the horror. In our conversation on Possession, we found a great balance of serious analysis and our usual off-the-rails banter. From James Bond to human dildos, we explore what makes this monster introduction so disturbing and iconic.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by A-King and Jayson Rodriguez for a dynamic deep dive into the world of Black cult classics—films that continue to shape culture, conversation, and identity across generations. The episode kicks off with an introduction to the concept of Black cult classics [00:00], before unpacking what truly defines a “classic” in this space [02:52].Together, they examine the cultural impact and the power of representation in film [05:53], while also spotlighting the role of actors and directors in pushing stories forward [09:04]. The discussion explores how genres within Black cinema have evolved [11:55], touching on the controversial legacy of Blaxploitation [14:44] and Eddie Murphy’s groundbreaking influence in the 1980s [17:44]. The conversation then shifts to the 1990s, celebrated as a golden era for Black films [21:05], followed by a lively debate on quality versus cult status [23:49]. After reflecting on how these dynamics continue to shape the future of Black cinema [27:04], the trio engages in a spirited comparison of “hood films” and “love films” [40:02], before branching into discussions on other genres like comedy, biopics, and more [42:48]. Romance and dramedy emerge as critical forces in shaping narratives around Black love and identity [46:32], while Tyler Perry’s controversial reign in Black film becomes a focal point [50:13]. This naturally leads into a comparison of Spike Lee and Tyler Perry’s distinct legacies [54:40], and a spotlight on the new generation of filmmakers such as Ryan Coogler and Jordan Peele [01:01:14]. The group also unpacks the complex role of slave movies in Black cinema [01:07:22], questioning their place in shaping narratives of identity and history. Finally, they close the episode on a playful note with a game of “How Many Black Movies Have You Seen?” [01:09:47], blending nostalgia, critique, and cultural appreciation. This episode highlights the enduring impact of Black films and the ongoing journey of representation, storytelling, and ownership in Hollywood. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
