About
A wild journey into the origins of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the biggest cult film of all time, its impact on popular culture and socio-political resonance to this day.
When The Rocky Horror Picture Show first opened in London in 1973, no one involved could have ever imagined the long-lasting impact and legacy that the subversive rock musical would have on the queer and underground film communities.
As the movie adaptation turns 50 this year, the original cast, creatives, and other pop culture figures — including creator Richard O’Brien, stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Patricia Quinn, and modern-day icons like Trixie Mattel — reminisce about bringing the strange journey of Brad, Janet, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter to life… not to mention examining the ways in which it has shaped not only their own personal journeys, but culture at large.
Directed by Linus O’Brien (son of the show’s creator), Strange Journey is a love letter to a project that for decades has provided a safe space for outcasts, and has kept audiences around the world doing the time warp again and again and again.
