Let’s do the time warp agaaaaaain! (Except with ongoing enthusiastic consent this time, mkay?)

This week, Emily and Tracie talk aboutthe beloved 1975 film Rocky Horror Picture Show. From its influence on culture, fashion, music, and film to its catchy AF songs, there’s a lot to love in this genre-bending gender-bending mashup of B horror/sci fi, musical theater, drag culture, and comedy. But despite Rocky Horror’s important strides forward for LGBTQ acceptance, there’s some ugly (and period appropriate) disregard for consent.

Listen in as Emily and Tracie revisit this favorite of their high school years–at the late night, double feature, picture show!

CW: Discussions of in-film scenes featuring dubious (at best) consent.
