Watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again is a 2016 television movie, a tribute of the original movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show, aired on FOX. The movie has the same elements of its predecessor, including its music, characters, storyline that follows Brad and Janet, and their spooky evening at Dr. Frank-N-Furter's laboratory.

The movie is a musical comedy-horror that follows the story of the newly engaged couple Brad Majors (Ryan McCartan) and Janet Weiss (Victoria Justice) as they stumble upon the mansion of the bizarre transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Laverne Cox). Along with their guide, Riff-Raff (Reeve Carney), and Frank's ensemble of eccentric followers, Brad and Janet witness a bizarre sexual cast of characters who sing, dance, and celebrate unconventional sexual desires.

The movie features original music and a live audience that participates with the action on the screen, making it an interactive experience. The leading characters' performances, notably Laverne Cox as Frank-N-Furter and Ivy Levan as Usherette/Columbia, stand out and add depth to the film's presentation.

The movie's production quality and costumes are nothing short of grandiose. The colors, textures, and attention to detail of every piece of wardrobe create a profoundly outlandish yet appealing atmosphere. The musical's bright and daring sets are combined with skillful camera work that effectively enhances the visuals.

The movie carries the same tone as its predecessor, immersing viewers in a world filled with sexual as well as societal taboo topics in a lighthearted approach. However, the 2016 rendition introduces certain modern themes such as transgender acceptance and a sense of kitschy nostalgia.

Let's Do the Time Warp Again also features new songs, such as "Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me," "Planet Schmanet Janet," and "I Can Make You A Man." The songs are entirely revamped versions of the original music, but the differences were worthy enough to create an identity of their own.

The story's narrative and dialogue are equally playful and sometimes self-aware. The references to other horror films, such as Bride of Frankenstein, are interwoven with jokes and puns about sex, gender, and other cultural touchstones. As the movie progresses, viewers come across the sense of the original movie's motifs, following a story that celebrates diversity, sexual liberation, and self-awareness.

Overall, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again is a fun-filled and entertaining watch. It successfully preserves the original's heart and soul while also providing fresh perspectives. For longtime fans of the 1975 original, it is a sensory pleasure to revisit the scenes and music that grew into cult status. However, even for newcomers, the movie is a unique spectacle that boasts colorful visuals, broad humor, and moments to sing along.
