First of all? What the fuck is classic rock?
According to Wikipedia, Classic Rock "is a US radio format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s." It is considered the main "genre" of music that was listened to by the Baby Boomers.
Welcome back to The Top Five Podcast! In this episode, Annie and I are taking on Cult Classic Films.
What makes for a cult classic? According to Live About.com, "The term 'cult film' (and later 'cult classic' as the film ages) is used to describe a movie that has developed a small, but significant and thoroughly dedicated, fanbase that grows over time.
The one criteria that all cult movies have in common is that they are not popular with general audiences or at the box office… at least not initially. After all, the very definition of 'cult' means that these movies have small but devoted followings."
You are going to love where Annie and I go with today's show. And, as usual, please don't forget that Annie and I are merely pop culture enthusiasts with opinions.
