Summary
"Don't dream it. Be it."
50 years ago, a midnight movie was unleashed on the American masses that changed the lives of outsider teenagers forever. The Wives Colangelo would not be the people we are today without THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, and neither would Chelsey Weber-Smith of the American Hysteria podcast. For the final episode of the Halloween season 2025, let's all do the time warp, give ourselves over to absolute pleasure, and tackle arguably the greatest movie ever made about liberating yourself from the standards of the status quo.
