Sorry it took so long to put this show up, but it couldn't be helped. Work has been crazy this week!

Laura and Cesar talk about fighting Rocky Horror burnout, then we discuss the Death Proof half of the movie Grindhouse, which was released on DVD and do a fantasy cast based on Planet Terror, also from Grindhouse.

Our buddy Ron Nasty from Final Taxi sent in a promo for Birmingham, AL Rocky Masquerade Ball for Friday, Oct. 26. Ian Turner from Satanic Mechanics in Baltimore sent in a letter about the free dance party and showing of Rocky Horror at UM-College Park's Satanic Mechanic Theater Group in Lecture Hall 1, Cesar told about Lambda Psi Phi's Halloween plans.

BTW Susie, we live in Atlanta. Our voicemail is in Seattle. ^^

In this episode we discuss restaurants
in Atlanta, Johnny Depp, Cesar's new
hairdo, cool names for Rocky casts
(send us yours!), and why Sean
hasn't been on the past two shows
(World of Warcraft addiction).
We review the movie "Clueless" and
we cast a Rocky show with characters
from "40-Year-Old Virgin." Laura and
her husband Dwight also recently
celebrated their 25th anniversary.

We've been asked to post our
email address for the show in

Today, October 4, 2007, we interrupt your podcast listening pleasure to bring you this important news. Bloggers all over the world are posting petitions to try to help the oppressed people of Burma peacefully overthrow their repressive and murderous regime. Please help establish freedom and democracy in their country. Go to FreeBurma.org for more information and to sign the petition.

Sean is not here due to work issues and midterms, so our cast leader Cesar has stepped in.

We discuss ways of pulling up a Rocky cast that seems to be floundering. We also discuss upcoming events for Lambda Psi Phi and make an appeal for donations to Lips Down On Dixie's cast leader Jevocas, who lost everything in an apartment fire.

The fantasy cast for tonight is made up of religious figures. Our movie for tonight is Saved.

Don't forget that we have a new voicemail number: (206) 350-0972.

Whoops! I checked and found out that our K7.net number had expired because it hadn't been used in 30 days, so if you tried to call us, we didn't get it. I'm a sad panda.

I went ahead and set up a new number: (206) 350-0972. Please make a note of it!

Sean is very busy so I got my cast leader Cesar to hopefully cover for him on the next recording. He's been on the show before.

We have a new mic, which Laura bought from Rusty and Amber from GA Podcast Network.

Apparently Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri was offered the role of Janet Weiss in the remake of Rocky Horror Picture Show, but turned it down.

Sean and Laura discuss the practicalities of Rocky Horror performances in extremely large conventions such as Dragon*con.

We play the theme from Monchiichi. Thanks Sophie!

Would you be interested in us doing a live call-in show?

Our fantasy cast is Dragon*con costumes.

Our movie discussion is Dirty Dancing.

This is a special announcement regarding an upcoming convention many of us planned to attend. You will notice that this was recorded live in front of Lambda Psi Phi's theater with an audience and a blond girl who was unable to work the theater door.

On Saturday night July 14, 2007, we interviewed Bob Foster (dressed like Bert Schnick) from F5/Back Row Productions, the casts that are putting on the convention Bride of Palooza, which was scheduled for the weekend of August 10-11. Due to the South Windemere Cinema, home of Back Row for the past five years, closing its doors, the show will be postponed to February or March 2008. Email RP7overall -at- yahoo dot com for more information.

To celebrate their long association with this theater, Back Row Productions is putting on two shows on August 10 and 11, double features of both Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment.

Another con announcement we missed: Crazed Imaginations is doing the Rocky Horror production for Comic Con 2007 July 28 in San Diego (You can buy tickets here for only $10--It's the same weekend as Pirate Con, so try to clone yourself.). Thanks Rachel!

Spinner.com picked Rocky Horror Picture Show #1 on their list of The 20 Rockin' Gay Moments.

Neo-Nazi creeps attacked a group of folks leaving Rocky Horror to go to a local pub in Germany. What is up with hate crimes against movie-goers? (Ron Nastie originally pointed this story out.)

There are dogs next door who do not want us to podcast. Laura has to live with this racket all night long.

In the UK, a burly electrician headbutted a group of folks who were dressed in fishnets and going to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have you ever been attacked because you were dressed for the show?

Netflix stories: Sean recently saw Resident Evil - Apocolypse. Laura recently saw Rogers and Hammerstein's 1965 version of Cinderella.

Battlestar Galactica got cancelled. Sean still hasn't seen Firefly.

The movie we review is Mary Poppins.

Our fantasy cast, as suggested by Ron Nastie from The Final Taxi, is Game Show Hosts.

We get calls from Andrea and Brandy!

Join our Rocky Horror Pod Show Google Group!

We are Rocky Rockypalooza which was put on by Downhome Decadence in Huntington, WV went really well.

Midnight Insanity's The Pirates of Transylvania: The Search for Booty July 26-29 on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.

Next con after that is The Bride of Palooza, August 10-12 in Charleston, SC. It is put on by the cast F5 and will cost $35.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Rocky Horror Pod Show will be going to a bi-weekly schedule and we are going to start another comedy podcast to alternate with this one, because there just isn't that much Rocky Horror news these days and it's a struggle to have real content (not that this has ever stopped us). If you have any suggestions for the name of the new cast, let us know soon because we plan to start this new schedule next week!

Have we done a Brady Bunch fantasy cast? I think so, but we did it anyway.

Sean is reviewing 300. Of course we don't stay on-topic and delve into Grindhouse, Spiderman 3, Spiderman 2, Spin City, Sin City, Pirates of the Caribbean, Teenage Aqua Hunger Force, Cartoon Network shows, the only one of which that is good is Robot Chicken, Pan's Labyrinth, Squidbillies, Family Guy, Southpark, Clutch Cargo, Cars, Ratatoille, Doc Hollywood, Lilo and Stitch, Tarzan, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice.

Ron Nastie from Final Taxi once gave me some Netflix tips. Which is better? Netflix or Blockbuster Total Access?

Sean turned 33 last Tuesday.

Sean is out because his grandmother died this morning. He's taking time off to be with his family.

A lot of you are on your way or at the We Are Rocky Rockypallooza convention in Huntington WV, which is going on this weekend May 11 & 12.

Midnight Insanity's Pirates of Transylvania convention on July 26-29 will feature Shock Treatment 360.

Ron Nastie from The Final Taxi podcast kindly created an awesome fantasy cast for us. His show is obituaries of important people who have recently died and he populated his cast with celebrities who died in the past year and a half. Check out this great podcast. Really strange and interesting choices for casting there Ron!

Happy Mother's Day, y'all!

Sean's not here because he went to Spiderman3.

Don't forget, next weekend May 11-12 is We Are...Rocky Rockypalooza, in Huntington, WV. This is hosted by Downhome Decadence.

The Firefly/Serenity podcast The Signal has posted the Firefly fantasy cast we did with one of their hosts Les back at Podcamp Atlanta. We'd already posted this, but check it out. The Signal is one of the better-quality fan-produced podcasts out there.

Madge Weinstein from Yeast Radio.

Hey Davey from Downhome Decadence, I want to interview you before next weekend to pimp the con!

By the way, check out our own myspace.

We also now have a Google Group so go ahead and join it. Right now it is listed as "adult content" which we are trying to change. It really isn't, so unless you are uncomfortable with that, go ahead and join. We're trying to get with Google to fix that.

I finally saw the movie Rent. I'm really addicted to Netflix now. They should totally sponsor us, heh.

Jenn left us a comment about bad remaking casting ideas.

Back in February, I recorded myself and other members of Lambda Psi Phi. I was playing Frank--probably this is a podcasting first. I tried to edit out some of the more obnoxious screaming and clipping from here because it was honestly hurting my ears. This is heavily cropped down and still long.

The show was running long, so I edited voicemails down a lot as well. Calls from Rachel, Rickie and Josh.

Voice mail: A request for shorter shows. Heh.

We have bird singing outside the window while we are recording. This is not a sound effect.

Rocky Horror Picture Show Costume designer Sue Blane celebrated a birthday last week.

Today Sean set up a Rocky Horror Pod Show Google Group today, so everyone can get in touch with each other via email. Go ahead and join today! And please overlook the dust. We'll get it looking nicer really soon.

On the Rocky Horror Usenet Group (alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror), an interesting discussion is currently going on about how being involved with Rocky can haunt you professionally. We don't think it's a problem unless you are going into public office.

Laura should set up a website about granny panties.

Sean has problems because he ate Taco Bell.

Sean and Laura's cast is gathering donations for counselors for the family and friends of the Virginia Tech shooting victims.

A guy named Richard who was in the Metmarie cast lost his Creatures of the Night 2 book due to Hurricaine Katrina and wondered if anyone could sell him another copy or at least scan that page for him. Sean happens to have it and said he would scan it for him.

Andrea from MySpace was our very first podcast commentator on iTunes. We did not know this because Andrea lives in the UK and apparently the comments are not worldwide.

Duckie said that pollen is indeed dick dust.

We are going to start a Rockypod Google Group pretty soon.

Gnomes and elves should fight. David the Gnome is a bad mother....shut your mouth.

Our movie review is The Matrix.

Candy and Brian gave us 80s band fantasy casts. Tessa gave us a Twin Peaks fantasy cast.

Twitter us: Sean's is twitter.com/weemoogle and Laura's is twitter.com/flyswatter. Friend us.

We got really nice comments on iTunes. Keep it up.

We also got a buttload of voicemail this week. Ditto on that.

Sean is eating leftover Easter candy.

Our topic is things to do during the dinner scene.

Our cult movie (ha) is The Princess Diaries.

Our fantasy cast is fat comedians.

We were asked to do fantasy casts for lead singers of 70s bands and also 80s bands but we can't figure out how to make this funny. Can some of you give this a shot?

We apologize for last weekend's April Fools joke. We are still doing Rocky Horror. Other jokes and pranks are discussed. The Arizona cast "Come As You Are" was apparently pranked on Saturday night by their theater.

Pollen is actually nature's dick dust.

Topic: Rocky Horror's bad reputation. We blame the media.

Put a rubber chicken in your pants, take a photo, and send it to us! Post comments to our blog as well!

Our fantasy cast, as suggested by a listener from MySpace whose user name is Roq Star, is made up of child stars.

Ludicrously Tragic

 

The sun bathed the top of the tent, protecting the people underneath.

Red roses, red eyes, red noses. A sea of black and pastel. All here to pay respect.

Flowing from the hearse like water from an open floodgate. One, two, twenty.

Rhythmic squeaking alongside a long pine box. A box no one would be popping from.

Such a happy life. No one knew monkeys were so mean, least of all Mr. Jingles.

We've decided, since Rocky Horror Picture Show is far less popular on the interweb than Harry Potter, we are switching this podcast to a Harry Potter podcast. So, if this seems redundant to you, get with the program.

Last week, our glorious leader Richard O'Brien had a birthday. Happy birthday!

Our very young friend Rachel sent a voicemail which we did not post because she left her phone number. She also started a podcast called RandomGeek Podcast. Check it out.

We also do a really quick Harry Potter fantasy cast.

Laura, Sean and Jeanne are all pregnant.

The show's a little late because we didn't get it recorded last night due to work issues. We'll get it recorded tonight and hopefully it will be up Saturday sometime.

I am FINALLY getting a new computer early next week and that should help with the turnaround speed (fan noise too!). So yeah.

Sean is absent for the recording of this show.

First I play voicemail from Eyepatch Burney and Naomi, castmates of ours from Lambda Psi Phi. They do an Xmen fantasy cast for us.

Then I read email from Ducky, who came up with her own Firefly/Serenity fantasy cast.

I say hello to various friends of the show.

Next is the Firefly/Serenity fantasy cast Sean and Laura did with Les from  The Signal podcast, which won the 2006 People's Choice Podcast Awards for "Best Produced" and "Movies and Films." They were also nominated for Parsec Awards for "Best Fan Podcast" and "Best Audio Production." We are so-o-o-o-o-o out of their league.

To that end, I apologize for the sound quality. We thought we had a quiet room and as the recording went on, people came into the room. This took a long time to edit down the background noise, which is why this show is so late. Ah well, we recorded at last weekend's excellent Podcamp Atlanta and everyone was excitedly talking about their shows so we can't be too upset. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording this, and we hope to do some other project with Les in the future.

We want to remind you about the upcoming Rocky conventions: We Are Rocky--Rockypalooza in Huntington, WV on May 11 & 12 and Midnight Insanity Pirates of Transylvania Con in Long Beach, CA on July 26-29. Also, we are going to be at the Podcamp Atlanta Unconference this weekend, March 16-17.

Brian from 2 Drunks and a Podcast and Andy from Lips Down on Dixie call with fantasy casts requests. We also have gotten a lot of email from our listeners. Rachel gave us a Simpsons fantasy cast she herself made up. Ducky told us that the girl M&M is blue, not green.

In Tennessee back in the '70s, if you wore green on Thursday, it meant you were gay. We discuss other indicators we also used to hear about. Why we went off on this topic, I have no idea.

Rachel gave us a suggested topic: Trixies and what is their purpose--Trixies as strippers or as candy girls. We discuss this a very very long time. We also discuss chubby chasers. We get way off-topic here. Sean maintains that with everything Rocky, you have to consider the audience.

Our fantasy cast is Lord of the Rings. Thanks Andy!

Our terrible movie of the week is House of the Dead.

Laura thinks we should review porn but Sean thinks horror is funnier. However, Laura saw a clip of disturbing amputee porn once that was quite memorable.

Enjoy the show!

We get a call from Brian of 2 Drunks and a Podcast.

Sean tells the dick dust story.

Rachel writes to tell us to do a fantasy cast with The Simpsons. We can't remember if we already have done this but while we are researching, we challenge our listeners to come up with Simpsons fantasy cast. Listeners though should cast this with non-family members--no Bart, no Lisa, no Maggie, Marge or Homer, no Grandfather or Marge's sister, no pets. Sean would like for this to be cast with characters voiced by Phil Hartman.

Our topic for tonight is the danger of being in a relationship with somebody else when you are both on cast.

Our fantasy cast for tonight is M&Ms.

Our cult movie review is Shaolin Soccer! Pow! We stupidly call it Japanese, when it is actually Chinese. We also talk about a lot of other parody kung fu movies.

If you are in Atlanta and are interested in podcasting, be sure to check out Podcamp Atlanta which is happening March 16-18 at Emory University.

The date for the Midnight Insanity MI Booty Pirate Con is changing to a week later, July 26-29. They apologize for this but it can't be helped.

There is a Rocky Horror Picture Show showing in Second Life, 12PM SLT at The Pirate Cinema in Stockholm Sweden at the Second Life location The Office (237.239.61). I have no idea what this means--I have only tried using Second Life once and gave up because my computer is a dinosaur.

A fellow podcaster has suffered a major tragedy. Irene McGee from the podcast No One's Listening, was burned out of her apartment in San Francisco in mid-February. She lost everything she owned: books, clothes, mementos, photos, etc., and one of her cats died in the fire and the other was severely burned. Some of her friends and partners have set up a Paypal account for people who want to help her out.

Our topic for tonight is: Why does Rocky Horror work as a cult movie when so many have failed? Some cult movies that supposedly are Rocky-killers that we talk about are Shock Treatment, Sound of Music, Rock N Roll High School, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Rent, Snakes on a Plane, Team America, Phantom of the Opera. So there's our cult movie review as well!

Today on the way to work, Laura was listening to NPR and heard that The Cat in the Hat is 50 years old--eureka! So tonight's fantasy cast is Dr. Seuss characters.

Congratulations to Laurie Higgins, who won the Creatures of the Abyss Rocky Rap contest.

Rocky Horror Picture Show is the 69th highest grossing film of all time, when you adjust for ticket price inflation, per James on alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror.

Acting for a Cure is putting on "The Rocky Horror Tribute Show" to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity. Richard O'Brien donated royalty rights to this worthy cause. The one-night-only benefit performance will be on Monday, April 16, 2007 at The American Airlines Broadway Theater in New York. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Louisville and New York City affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Topic for today: Playing favorites on cast

Laura wants someone to touch her nut sack.

Sean tells a joke

Fantasy cast: Crayola Crayon colors

Movie discussion: Zoolander

Sean rants against Macintoshes.

Make sure to leave us comments here on the blog page, on our voicemail at 206-888-4991, rockypod at aim.com, Facebook under Rockypod, Rockypod community on Live Journal, or on MySpace.

Sean is not on the show today because of scheduling conflicts--Laura has to go to her daughter's middle school band concert on the only day we could record. Feel Laura's pain....

This is the 25th episode. We were going to announce the winner of the Creatures From The Abyss used DVD Rockypod Rap contest, but we are putting it off until the next episode, so get your entry in by February 13, 2007 to our voice mail at 206-888-4991.

Several weeks ago, Laura went with Sasha from our other show Coffee and Tea Show to Plaza Theater to see Lips Down On Dixie with Rusty and Amber from Georgia Podcast Network. Rusty lost his Rocky virginity. Rockypod and Coffee and Tea Show are affiliates of their network. Afterwards, they interviewed Sasha and Laura for their podcast Mostly ITP.

Laura borrowed Rusty's Zoom H4 recorder because she forgot her iRiver. Following is the recording Sasha and Laura made of the interview with Aron, Jevocas and many of the cast and staff. At one point, the recorder ran out of memory and stopped recording which wasn't noticed because Laura had never used one before. Much of what we thought we were recording was lost, alas. But look on the bright side--this show will be a quick download!

Frolicon is April 5-8 in Atlanta. It's the naughty side of paradise and is 21+ only. Thursday April 5th at midnight will be a Drawn Together-themed performance of Rocky.

Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die on MySpace originally suggested last week's fantasy cast--The Addams Family--and we neglected to mention it since we were rushed. Our apologies.

Our topic for tonight is security personnel at the Rocky theater. Do you have specially-designated security folks at your showings? We do, and it seems like trouble-makers are now more in control. It's sad to have to resort to that though.

Our movie for this week is Wizard of Oz.

Our fantasy cast is Winnie the Pooh.

Remember the other conventions coming up soon: We are Rocky! Rockypalooza May 11 & 12 in Huntington, WV and Midnight Insanity's Pirates of Transylvania con in Long Beach, CA.

We've extended the Creatures of the Abyss contest one more week because we may not be able to get a show out next week. Try to beat Laurie's rapping skillz!

Check out the fine podcasts at blubrry.com.

We just got a new voicemail number: (206) 888-4991. Be sure to make a note of it. Also put it into your cell phone in case you get a wild hair to call us!

Laurie made the first entry in the Creatures of the Abyss contest. That is the rap you hear at the beginning of the show. Remember you still have time to get your entry in. We need to see a poem or rap by February 6th and you have to have a US or Canadian mailing address to win the autographed copy (by us) of this rancid horror movie.

As you may know, Rockypod is an affilate of our local podcast group called Georgia Podcast Network. Laura and her podcast cohost Sasha from Coffee and Tea Show were interviewed by Rusty and Amber from Georgia Podcast Network's podcast "Mostly ITP." You can listen to that show on Rusty and Amber's award-winning podcast or else pick it up from Coffee and Tea Show. Also check out the other shows that are available from the network.

Our fantasy cast is Addams Family/The Munsters. Sean threw in the Munsters because he didn't believe that there are enough characters in the Addams Family. Those shows are NOTHING alike! Ha ha.

Finally, we have a preshow from our last show with Lambda Psi Phi. As you can tell, there is quite a lot of interaction between Cesar, who's been on this show before, and the audience.

Gah. Gah.

Two friends from MySpace emailed us to let us know they had left some voice mail for us on the old number and apparently it never got to us because that number was shut down. Why? Because of non-use.

This is very distressing, because no telling how long that number has been inactive and yet we've been asking people to call it. And now we have that Creatures of the Abyss contest going on.

If you can make up a rap or poem about Rockypod and want to leave it as a voicemail at (206) 888-4991, that would be fan-freakin'-tastic. We'll love you long time.

Voice mail: (206) DEW TOOT

Tim Curry has been nominated for the Lawrence Olivier Award for his role of King Arthur in Spamalot. The ceremony is February 18. He's a wonderful actor and we wish him the best.

Another Rocky Horror podcast we know of is done by Davey boy from the West Virginia shadowcast Downhome Decadence. His podcast goes by that same name and you can subscribe on iTunes here. They are hosting the We Are...Rocky! Rockypalooza con this year on May 11 & 12 in Huntington. You can find out more about Rockypalooza here. Anyone from Atlanta want to go up with us? We are very seriously considering going.

Tonight's topic is about ways to promote your own Rocky Horror shadowcast.

Sean tells a joke.

Tonight's fantasy cast is characters from cereal boxes. They are part of a balanced breakfast. We have apparently hit a new sugar-bomb low.

Creatures from the Abyss is the name of our movie. It's really really crappy. It has a poorly drawn cover. It's a horror movie involving teenagers and radioactive plankton. Hilarity ensues.

---------------------------

CONTEST!!!! Want to own your very own copy of Creatures from the Abyss (actually Laura's copy of Creatures from the Abyss)? If you create a short rap or poem about Rockypod and send it to us either via email (rockypod @ aim.com), MySpace or our voice mail (206-339-8668) before episode 25 (the episode you are reading about/listening to is episode 22) and we judge your entry to be the best one, you'll win the movie, autographed by us. Since we have no money, the contest is limited to US and Canada residents. Make sure to send us a mailing address. All entries will belong to us to use however we see fit. This should be hilarious!

A topic from Uncle Bill on alt.cult-movies. rocky-horror, is Rocky Horror dying out from its heyday in the 80s? We think that major chains don't show the movie anymore because of audience damage, etc, but indie moviehouses seem to still show it. It still seems to speak to audiences. Here in Atlanta we have two very active casts, but the shows are doing well and it doesn't seem to be dying yet.

Do you think the Rocky Horror is no longer relevant and is dying?

Laura tells Sean the shocking news that Liza Minelli is Judy Garland's daughter.

Laura's husband Dwight interrupts to ask what he should put on the pizza he's making.

Fantasy cast: Care Bears!!!!

We need a ringer to help us do fantasy casts for Bond girls and Bond villains. Let us know if you really know this category (we don't) and we'll interview you.

Cult movie review: The Road to El Dorado, which neither of us has seen. Can we review a movie we know nothing about? Yes, we can.

Check out this video of Tickle Me Elmo on fire.

On the Usenet group alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror, Cosmo pointed out that Sue Blaine was just awarded the MBE (Members of the Order of the British Empire) by Her Magesty Queen Elizabeth II for service to costume and set design. Fantastic news (and don't forget that soon Cosmo and Nathan will have the first episode of Rocky Radio 2.0 up and running--we'll let you know when we hear more).

Also, Midnight Insanity cast of Long Beach, CA will be hosting the Rocky Horror Pirate Con from July 19-22, 2007 on the Queen Mary! Mark Tomaino tells us that already people are sending in their registrations. This sounds like a blast, and get a load of the website that Bill Ung designed for the convention! If you are interested in finding out more as events happen, they have set up a Yahoo group for you to join called MI Booty where questions and answers are archived.

Today's discussion is about what you can do to make sure the audience feels involved with the show.

Today's fantasy cast: The Brady Bunch

Today's cult movie review: Army of Darkness

Our multi-talented friend Jevocas (the Frank from Lips Down on Dixie and sometimes Lambda Psi Phi) is Assistant Director on the latest Atlanta incarnation of the stage show Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show which will be presented in February. We'll tell you more information as it becomes available to us.

However, from January 9-21, Seattle will also have the Rocky Horror Show performed at The Ethnic Cultural Theatre, 3940 Brooklyn Ave. Seattle, WA 38105 with shows starting at 8:00. You can order tickets here.

Our topic of the night is Rocky Resolutions. We discuss what we want to do in terms of Rocky Horror in the coming year. If you have anything to add, please email us or leave us a message on our voice email (206-DEW-TOOT or 206-339-8668) and we'll play it on the next show.

Jeanne and Laura have a cough-y break.

We tell bad jokes. You might want to fast-forward.

Our fantasy cast tonight is Saturday Night Live characters. Laura is very proud of this cast idea. Play along with us.

Sean tells a story about his friend Jason who doesn't like the Tang.

Our cult movie is Happy Feet, which is still in the theaters. We know we are pawns of environmentalists, but we all rather loved the movie. It was surprisingly well-animated, poignant and had great action sequences. See it. Squeeee!

Laura wants to stop dissing Liza Minelli and wants to have her on the show. Laura also wants to start dissing Jamie Lee Curtis, although Sean says no because she was in Halloween.

We have special guests tonight: longtime Rocky peeps Kim McFarland, who is a fantastic Frank, who was cast leader of old cast Lipsync and who runs the Lambda Psi Phi website and Rod Rombauer, super Brad/Dr. Scott/Eddie, who ran the old Timewarp BBS and co-writer (with Janel Adair) of the Rocky Horror Purity Test and who is "internet famous."

Cosmo and Nathan, who did Rocky Radio, the wildly-popular Rocky Horror-oriented internet show from the late 90s, are working on having their show available again for download. When we find out more about this, we'll let you know. Nobody is more excited about this than we are. We've always wanted to hear it, and maybe Cosmo and Nathan can be persuaded to create a new podcast? Hint, hint. EDIT: a search on Technorati shows that they are indeed back online thanks to Nathan Summers. We offer our heartiest congratulations. Check them out!

Sean has a troll with purple hair from a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Rod is surprised about how we never stay on-topic but he's never listened to a Rockypod show before.

Tonight's topic is awesome audiences we have known. All four of us tell stories.

Movie review: A Christmas Story. We also mention the new Cingular Go-Phone commercial, which you should see. Sean's girlfriend Jeanne, who is hanging around, does not like this movie, though.

Sean mentions his favorite Christmas tv show, The Year Without A Santa Claus. This leads us to our fantasy cast: Rankin-Bass characters.

Kim and Rod tell their favorite AP lines.

I know the show is late. Sean and I both have the Christmas Crud. We're recording tonight and we hope to make it up to you all by having special guests: the lovely and talented Kim McFarland, who is one of the best Franks evah, webmistress of Lambda Psi Phi website and cast leader of the defunct cast Lipsync, and the talented and lovely Rod Rombauer, long-time Uber-Brad and co-creator of the Rocky Horror Purity Test which you should go ahead and take. Send us your test scores.

Kim and Rod are going to talk about the very real and deep meaning of Dance Dance Revolution. Hee!

Sorry this show was late going up. Sean had finals to study for and take and it just couldn't be helped.

Tonight's show is pretty short since it is Christmas season and we're both exhausted from work, but we'll make it up by playing part of the Lips Down On Dixie preshow, which is the other Rocky shadowcast here in Atlanta (we're in the Lambda Psi Phi cast).

Cosmos Factory just celebrated their 13th anniversary as a website. Congratulations! It is the definitive Rocky Horror site.

We think possibly Cosmos Factory one of the first sites on the World Wide Web. We discuss early internet sections. We remember the website that showed a camera image of a coffee pot and also JenniCam.

You can find Laura's other podcast The Coffee and Tea Show if you Google "Crush Penis Torture" (fourth one down!). We are going to put in phrases like "barely legal," "donkey show" and "old titties" into our metatags to see what sort of hits we get.

Last Friday was our cast Christmas party and then we went to see Lips Down on Dixie perform.

Our fantasy cast, per the request of Maia from MySpace, is Star Wars. I know. Easy-peasy. Shut up.

AP Line of the week.

Our cult movie of the week is How The Grinch Stole Christmas, not the stupid live-action one with Jim Carrey, but the cartoon. It sucks when cartoons are turned live action.

Next week we are going to review A Christmas Story.

Finally, the recording of Lips Down on Dixie's preshow at Plaza Theatre in Midtown Atlanta, where you can hear Candace the MC and Jevocas the Frank for the evening. I was toward the back of the theater so you can hear AP all around me.

The show's going to be a little late this week. Sean has a big final test on Wednesday so we decided it was important to let him study. We'll record on Thursday and I'll try very hard to get the show up and online by Friday night.

I have a very good idea for the fantasy cast. Get your thinking caps on and play along with us when we announce it.

-----------

One more thing, our cast (Lambda Psi Phi) had our annual Christmas dinner on Friday night, and then we made a group visit to our buddies on Atlanta's other Rocky cast, Lips Down On Dixie. They're a screen accurate cast. As you know, we're more of a parody cast so each cast teases the other incessantly. We did a lot of our AP and learned some of theirs. And we filled Plaza Theatre with massive amounts of toilet paper--the cleaning crew probably hated us. Jevocas, their Frank, also performs with us pretty often and he adapts pretty well to both styles of shadow cast. Candace, their MC, used to perform with us but hasn't been able to for a while.

We're pretty lucky to live in a place with two casts that cooperatively perform on different weekend nights.

We are not Cheryl's Whorehole. We are Rocky Horror Pod Show.

Laura found an interesting site: Rocky Wiki.

Megan from MySpace (check out her shirt on our MySpace page!) tells us that someone has posted Richard O'Brien's home address on the mail. He is refusing to answer fan mail that arrives at his house and will only answer mail that came to him through the fan clubs.

A story about fake million dollar bills.

Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's Chest came out on DVD.

Today we won't discuss cast issues. A discussion about the character of Magenta. Laura finds her very mysterious and doesn't understand her motives. Sean thinks she's just along for the ride. Why are lasers shaped like that? Laura shocks Sean with awesome political incorrectness.

"Special effects" in Laura's house.

Fantasy cast: Star Trek, first series characters but if necessary we will use characters from Next Generation.

We tell jokes. ::sigh::

Disgusting clip of girl having accident in hot tub.

Cult movie review: Fight Club. Meatloaf was in it.

Sean's girlfriend got mauled by a dog.

Laura's younger daughter took part in a social science fair. Her project was about learning to be a vegetarian (Actually it's her life goal, but she's having a problem giving up Chik-fil-A).

We had more news but we lost it on stupid MySpace, which caused Sean to go on a very long rant about MySpace frustrations.

Sacolton on YouTube posted a new version of Science Fiction/Double Feature, based on Richard O'Brien's original idea. It's an awesome labor of love. I particularly like the fact that the drippy letters weren't used--instead, a movie marquee-type font which was used on the movie soundtrack. I would like to see this used in an actual performance. I could see some really great AP lines based on the footage!
