You'll find "happy hearts and smiling faces" as Mission: Rejected takes over What Did We Just Watch? - The Movie Trivia Quiz Show Podcast to discuss and dissect the 1981 musical Shock Treatment.Once upon a time, there lived a real fast guy. His life was fast. His friends were fast. Heh - even his podcast was fast. We have covered a lot of types of movies on this show, but this is our first cult-classic spiritual sequel of a cult-classic. Our panel ticks through the wild and wacky cast, tries to recall some of the strange and specific lyrics from the original songs, and decides where this fits in the Rocky Horror cinematic universe. Head on over to Denton, and we'll save you a seat in the studio.Guest Host: J. Michael DeAngelisPlayers: Pete Barry, Bob Killion, and Chris KlanieckiIf you want to hear the entire episode, listen and to subscribe to WDWJW! If you love cult movies, you’ll love What Did We Just Watch? The Admiral himself, Bob Killion, is a regular panelist and co-host, and many members of the Mission: Rejected family have guested, including Chris, Paige, Jill, Faith, John, Shannon, Pete, and Michael.
