RE-RELEASE: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and RIP Dolly Parton)

In light of the death of Tim Curry at 80, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes from our series marking the 50th anniversary of 1975: a celebration of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the unforgettable performance that made Curry's Dr. Frank-N-Furter a pop-culture icon.

Originally released in 2025, this episode features Plaza Theatre owner Chris Escobar and film producer and sound mixer Aron Siegel, who take us inside the movie's extraordinary legacy, the history of midnight screenings and the tradition that continues to bring Rocky Horror fans together in Atlanta.

From audience participation and the legendary Time Warp to the film's influence on generations of fans, this conversation is both a look back at a cinematic phenomenon and a celebration of the lasting legacy of Tim Curry and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

So, in memory of Tim Curry, we invite you to revisit the weird, wonderful world of Rocky Horror. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure—and get ready to do the Time Warp again.
