Bostwick explains why The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of film history's most enduring classics:
“It's fun, noisy, and rude, and only exists today because of the dedicated fan base and incredible ‘shadow casts' from around the world. They make it spectacular entertainment very show. It is nicely naughty!!! They bring the party. They invite you to participate. It's rock and roll!!!” said Bostwick.
He succinctly captures the movie's multi-generational appeal:
“Three generations of party goers have passed it down from one to another. It is a rite of passage from innocence to understanding and questioning!” commented Bostwick.
