Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975): "The Gay Agenda"

Happy Pride, Spookies! We might have kicked celebrations off early with our May Fifth Tuesday episode, but now we’re making sure the rest of this month’s pride picks all have that special spooky something. Up first? None other than the always iconic Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), a movie that might as well have invented the Gay Agenda™️. While this flick had a bit of a slow start, it exploded into a cult classic that still plays in theaters all over the world. On our latest installment of Spooky Tuesday, we’re joined by pal Danny Dunitz as we break down the theater play’s origin story, its move to the silver screen, and all the important callbacks you need to know to watch along.
