| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 on today's episode of the show. |
| 0:05.7 | We're going to gather around the virtual water cooler and talk about what we've been watching. |
| 0:09.2 | My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slashfilm.com. And joining me on today's episode is Slash Film Editor, BJ Kalangelo. |
| 0:15.7 | Hi, hi, hi, yeah. All right, BJ. Sorry, I'm still a little sick. You could probably tell from my voice. But what have you been doing recently? We'll talk about what we've been watching momentarily, but we've got a couple things to get to before that. |
| 0:28.0 | Sure. So last weekend, I hosted a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I will say a sold-out screening, not to brag, but I got to host a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show out here in Los Angeles and announced that I will be starting a shadow cast because there currently is not one on the side of the city that I'm in, which is really, really cool. It was awesome. |
| 0:52.6 | All right, hang on, PJ. Let me stop you. What is a shadow cast? What is that? |
| 0:55.5 | Okay. Ben, have you ever seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show? |
| 0:58.5 | I have seen the movie one time, yes, but I've not seen it in a public setting. |
| 1:02.9 | I realize that there's like a whole culture around it, yes. |
| 1:06.8 | Yeah. So we in the biz like to say, okay, well, that's just masturbation. That's not the real thing. So Rocky Horror Picture Show, as many people know, have had midnight screenings dating back to the 70s. There are some theaters that have never stopped having midnight screenings of it. I can say that in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that is a city that has |
| 1:29.2 | had Rocky Horror screenings at least once a month at midnight nonstop since the 70s. They have |
| 1:35.0 | the world record. It's very, very cool. But in a lot of these midnight screenings, you have what is |
| 1:39.5 | called a shadow cast, which is people in costume with props that will act out the movie in front of the screen on the |
| 1:46.3 | stage or you know just at the the front of the house of the theater it is a a vital part of |
| 1:53.1 | sort of the culture around rocky horror there are there are games that are played beforehand |
| 1:58.2 | and it just really adds to the fun. It's like getting to watch a movie |
| 2:02.9 | within a movie. It's very cool because they also like you lip sync to what's on the screen |
| 2:08.9 | behind you. So you still get the audio of the movie. But it's just like an enhanced, |
| 2:12.8 | very interactive experience. So I am starting a shadow cast. I am getting actors together so that we will |
| 2:20.5 | now have people to do this along with the screenings when we show them at Vidyits here in Los Angeles. |
| 2:29.2 | Wow, that's awesome. So is Vidyat's paying you to do that? Or is this just something you're doing |
| 2:33.6 | like as a volunteer for the love of the game kind of thing? I'm doing this for the love of the game. |
