Lesson 4:  The Rocky Horror Picture Show

*Spoiler Alert**Spoiler Alert**Spoiler Alert**Spoiler Alert*

With 2015 marking the 40th anniversary of classic rock-opera The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Miss Marcie & Miss Jenni take you through a music-filled journey to Dr. Frankenfurter’s castle and back home again to Transexual Transylvania.  

Before Western culture was fully comfortable with non-traditional gender identifications and sexual fluidity… before Dr. Ruth, YouTube, Caitlin Jenner, and the “It Gets Better” campaign... Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror gave shelter to a generation of the curious, and offered a bold unapologetic voice to all those hiding in closets from the established cookie-cutter ideas of what was and was not acceptable in or out of the bedroom. 

Get out your tightie-whities, your sequined platform shoes, your kimonos, and your bustiers, and give yourself over to absolute pleasure.  Sing along as we enter the fishnet-covered rose-tinted world of one Sweet Transvestite and his friends who take wide-eyed Brad and Janet along on a ride no one ever truly forgets.

ps: ...this isn't your mother's podcast!
