About this episode

The episode discusses the 1981 film Shock Treatment with guest Pippin, exploring its conceptualization, casting, and production challenges.

This episode we talk about a movie that has a reputation, but not in the way you'd think. Joined by fellow Sickos Club member, Pippin, we sit down to talk about the 1981 follow up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shock Treatment! There's so much to talk about with this movie from the early conceptualizations, casting, shooting location issues etc. It was a blast to sit down with Pippin and I hope you have as much fun as we did. Check out the episodes of The Hard Way Podcast where Pippin took part in wrestling Jeopardy as well as hosting their own trivia game which goes off the rails in a fun way.
