EP. 32: MIDNIGHT MOOBIES!
Sit down kids, your Dirty Pillows Daddies wanna tell you a story. The great tale of the Midnight Movie! Back in the Olden Days, before you were even a Sparkle in my Thighs, we had big dirty cloudy movie theaters that could seat 600 comfortable stoners and freaks and geeks and queers. These movie theaters would sometimes wait till midnight to show their weirdest, artsiest, cheapest or gayest movies. You could smoke in the theater, and not just tobacky.. if you know what I mean, kiddo. And things got WILD, and lucrative! Many of the movies that first caught audiences attention this way have grown to become treasured cult films, record breakers and inspirations for weirdos for decades to come!
So sit back and revisit a time when communal film watching was King, and Frank N Furter and Divine were Queens. Hear about Jamaica's first film and the explosion of Reggae. Learn what a Jodorowsky is and why he's Krys's guru. Which characters in Rocky Horror Picture Show have Krys and Matty portrayed and how did those experiences make them the gays you love today.
This episode has it all: History, Dog Poop, Hippie Culture, Zombies, Olivia Rodrigo and something called an Eraserhead. Literally something for everyone. How did this cult phenomenon happen, what happened to it, and what has it transformed into these days?
Ready to stay up late and do some laughin' and learnin'? Good!
Happy Valentines Day, let's go on a date to a MIDNIGHT MOVIE!
