We revisit films labeled “condemned” by the Legion of Decency and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, unpacking the outrage, the censorship, and the cultural shifts behind them. Whether you grew up with Catholic guilt or just love controversial cinema, this is where dirty movies meet film history.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/morally-offensive-7096551"},"episode":{"title":"The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975): Don't Dream It.

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.","meta_description":"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…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":9113,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/morally-offensive-7096551/episodes/the-rocky-horror-picture-show-1975-don-t-dream-it-podcast-it/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/morally-offensive-7096551/the-rocky-horror-picture-show-1975-don-t-dream-it-podcast-it.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
