Rocky Horror Pod Show

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.

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.

First episode of the NEW Rocky Radio is up! Congratulations guys! You guys sound freakin’ great!!!!!! I am impressed as hell!

(It’s very long so they broke it into three parts–right click and download). Also, like Rocky Horror Pod Show, bear in mind that this is probably not safe for work.

Edit: Kim M., LISTEN TO THIS ONE!!!!!!!! They are totally spreading the love to you.

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
