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.
Our cult movie review is The Sixth Sense. We diss the director M. Night Shyamalan.

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.

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!

Voicemail: 206-888-4991We 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.

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

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!
