The 50th anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show last year reignited everyone's nostagia for the classic zany musical. And that's just as well, because now the stage production is returning, too. The international production featuring a West End cast will be running in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington from now unil the end of March. To celebrate, one very special member of the Rocky Horror family is here, Nell Campbell, the original Columbia is in New Zealand and joins Jesse.
We talk to Bob Lindenmayer - Writer & Director of Making Megaforce. We all have those films we saw whilst growing up which have such an effect on who we are, what we became or they just simply stay with us and evoke such a warm feeling. For Bob Lindenmayer it was the 1982 Sci Fi Action epic Megaforce. Despite totally bombing at the Box Office, Megaforce meant something to the young Bob and came along at just the right time in his life. His documentary, Making Megaforce, is not only his tribute to the making of and history of this film but also a heartwarming story of friendship and how meeting your heroes can sometimes be a dream come true.Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop

We trace how films become cult classics, from midnight screenings and VHS trades to streaming silos and algorithm feeds. We pull apart cult vs underground vs underseen, weigh the death of monoculture, and map how community keeps the weird and beloved alive.Along the way, we separate “cult” from its lookalikes: underground (how a movie is made), underseen (how many people found it), and the elusive chemistry that turns a movie into a banner for a community.We trade examples across eras—Rocky Horror, The Big Lebowski, The Room, Freaks, Plan 9, Who Killed Captain Alex, even early Nolan and Aronofsky—to show how transgression, quirk, and voice pull in fans who crave something off the map. Then we zoom out to the bigger shift: the decline of monoculture and the rise of siloed viewing. When everyone used to watch the same thing at the same time, “cult” had a clear counterpoint. Now access is near-total, but discovery is fragmented. Is mystique gone when everything is one click away, or has the ritual simply moved from midnight screenings to Discord watch parties and cosplay threads?
It's a jump to the left, a step to the right, and straight into absolute chaos as The Commentary Booth celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit the cult musical that confused, delighted, scandalised, and rewired generations of audiences, and yes, Jamie is watching it for the first time.From dripping rain and flat tyres to corsets, aliens, and one very sweaty creation, this episode breaks down why Rocky Horror still refuses to fade quietly into pop culture history. Corrina brings the deep love, historical context, and shadow cast energy, while Jamie reacts in real time to a film that feels like Frankenstein on an acid trip, in heels.They unpack Tim Curry's career-defining performance as Dr Frank-N-Furter, the cultural impact of midnight screenings and audience participation, the sheer weirdness of the narrative framing, and why this film made its money slowly, loudly, and unapologetically. There's debate, disbelief, genuine affection, and the kind of off-the-rails banter that feels fitting for a movie that never plays by the rules.Highlights Breakdown: - Jamie watches The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time - Why Tim Curry's Dr Frank-N-Furter became an instant icon - The history of midnight screenings and shadow casts - How the film slowly built its cult following and box office legacy - Does The Rocky Horror still resonate with modern audiences, or is it frozen in time Whether Rocky Horror is your annual ritual or something you've only ever known through The Time Warp, this episode captures exactly why, 50 years on, it still hits people sideways.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Nick and Max talk about their personal connection and history with the film, and delve into a hilarious and informative recap of this film and two other cult-classic rock musicals.

Second, we explore the lesser-known sequel (or equal?) to Rocky Horror, Richard O'Brien's Shock Treatment.

Welcome back to Cult Season, where we continue our sincere attempt to make you feel a little bit worse about the world and everything in it.This week, we turn to Stefan Molyneux, online pioneer, prolific content creator, and self-proclaimed most popular philosopher in the world. Alternatively his wikipedia entry describes him as "an Irish-born Canadian white nationalist podcaster and proponent of conspiracy theories, white supremacy, scientific racism, and the men's rights movement." Charming...One thing is for sure: Molyneux is the only man alive who can turn literally any question into a monologue that combines demonic liberals, cutting off friends and family, and female reproductive choices. A true Renaissance man for people who hate Renaissance values.In this first episode we take a brief tour through the Molyneux Expanded Universe™, which includes some infamous clips from his early days as the creator of an online 'philosophy' cult themed around anti-spanking, anarcho-capitalism, and misogyny. We also cover his pivot to MAGA apologetics and overt white nationalism and finally to late-stage Molyneux, where he now lurks in Twitter Spaces, berating callers and insisting the world is populated by demon-ridden NPCs gleefully urinating on their moral superiors.Look forward to learning about his extensive rhetorical techniques, which include thin-skinned narcissism, a penchant for violent metaphors usually featuring urine and anal torture, his constant demand that listeners cut off their families and, of course, his favourite claim: that anyone who disagrees with him is a man-whore NPC who wants to kill you.Also featuring:A Weinstein cameo (because of course)Chris recounting the proto–Decoding the Gurus origin story involving a Facebook post and some early Molyneux contentAnd a rare chance to hear Matt physically wince at a Rocky Horror cold openIf you've ever wanted to hear a preening narcissist berate his listener for raising entirely reasonable points... well, this is the episode for you.Scott Adams should be careful, a new contender has emerged for his crown...Part 2 coming soon, assuming we survive this one.LinksFreedomain Radio 6162: The Most Frightening Fact!

On this episode of The Nonsense Podcast, things go off the rails immediately. Kelly opens with a wholesome fact about November being National Novel Writing Month… and within minutes the guys are debating whether they could ever write a book. Henvincible casually drops that he writes poetry, while FNBob proudly admits his “artistic side” is actually just lies, confidence, and psychological warfare to trick people into thinking he's deep.But once the show begins?It's over.FNBob unleashes one of the greatest rants in Nonsense history after attempting to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. Fifteen minutes was all he needed to declare it “the worst thing ever recorded with a camera,” dragging Tim Curry, Roger from American Dad, and the entire concept of musicals into the pit with it.Henvincible tries to defend the film.FNBob responds by cutting a full heel-turn promo about how hating things is not only normal—it's profitable, healthy, and maybe even necessary.By the end, he's ready to lead the world into a new era:“Maybe it's time to be the bad guys. Being good got us nowhere.”Absolute chaos. Classic Nonsense.✨ Episode Highlights

On this week's audio and/or video episode Phillip is joined for the first time by Julie Klausner, a comedy actress, Producer, and comedy writer and of course podcast host of How Was Your Week, and co-host of Double Threat. They are here to discuss 1962's The Music Man starring Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Phillip starts by reading the general information about the movie with some trivia bits thrown in. It's then time for Listener' Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Then Phillip and Julie discuss the film, that Phillip had never seen before. It's a very fun conversation. They then answer the question of whether they noticed anything in this movie that Tarantino might have liked or used in this film. Then they individually rate the movie. It's then time to answer whether they would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986). Julie had to leave the show early because she had a hard out, but she did give her documentary favorites for the week; Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025), Boorman and the Devil (2025), and Chain Reactions (2024). Phillip then promotes next week's show when he will be joined for the first time by Frank Hannen from the Bachata Talk podcast and Aventura Podcast to discuss 1972's The Godfather.

Elise and Marcelo wish you a Happy Halloween by talking about the cult classic The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show! Featuring Joey Hamilton and special guest Rocky Horror creator Richard O'Brien.
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-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Think you know the story? Think again! Classic tales of literature, myth, history and legend as you've never heard them before... straight from the mouths of the characters themselves. We've interviewed the key participants in the most famous and enduring stories of them all, and in five- to -ten minute monologues these legends give wildly contradictory accounts of what really happened... Think you know the characters? Think again! Speaking candidly and definitively in an attempt to set the record straight, these famous figures finally reveal their true natures... shattering their popular images. Mary Shelley's classic tale of man dabbling in the creation of his Prometheus has never been told like this! (Well... Rocky Horror might have gotten the ball rolling!) This is modern tale told to our Interviewer (Kat Waterflame) in two separate interviews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
