## Resource

Stephanie and Bill head on up to the lab, to see what’s on the slab...and it turns out it’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a cult classic that started as rebellion and transformed into a midnight movie ritual. With special guest props expert and technical theatre professional Jeffrey Rockey, they dig into the history of the movie that became a cultural touchstone, especially for Catholic school kids who found they didn’t quite fit in. Jeff talks coming out, Bill shares the story of how he originated the first stage role of the Captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and Stephanie recounts the experience of getting into Rocky Horror as a young Jewish woman. They also revisit Richard O’Brien’s problematic remarks, the Catholic media’s moral outrage, and the often-forgotten sequel Shock Treatment. It’s a science fiction double feature of faith, fishnets, and the strange comfort of finding community in the most “morally offensive” places.
