In this episode of Cult Film School, hosts Adrian and Dion take listeners "on a strange journey" through two unique films: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and its lesser-known follow-up, Shock Treatment (1981). They dive deep into the cultural impact, themes, and the differences between the original cult classic and its sequel that never quite captured the same magic.
