During my stay in San Francisco with Cherry & Sophie, we discovered that Dozer Torn had never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show...or even heard of it. Needless to say, our mission was immediately obvious. We discuss the sparks of queer and kinky awakenings Rocky bestowed upon so many of us, Tim Curry's unmatched majesty, Richard O'Brien's staggering genius, spectacularly horrible interviews, Richard's gender dysphoria & eventual transition, Times Square, Dozer's reactions to his first viewing, our first times, Shock Treatment, and then answer & address Listener Questions & Comments.

Nashville’s pre-eminent film writer & curator Jason Shawhan joins me for an in-depth discussion and analysis of the feminist (and undercover queer) 1985 cult-classic that is THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN.

Mistakenly dismissed at the time of release as just another junk teen flick, BILLIE JEAN is a commentary on American classism, misogyny, the power of technology to platform & amplify previously ignored voices (VHS then, TikTok now), gender roles & more. A Helen Slater gem that is just as relevant today as it was in 1985. 

Co-starrring Christian Slater, Yeardly Smith, Dean Stockwell, Peter Coyote and Peter Coyote’s hair.
