For those of us who love schlock movies, there is such a thing as “so bad it's good.” It's not exactly critically approved, but that description is best applied to films that are more than the sum of their terrible parts. At times, the acting, plot, special effects, and more are so terrible that combined they form the kind of cinematic trainwreck that is almost impossible to look away from. But if you're willing to do your own Time Warp, there's one “so bad, it's good” movie that's secretly great: Rocky Horror Picture Showa quirky comedy classic now streaming on Hulu.

No phone, but a whole cast of characters, including Dr. Frank-N-Furter (the self-proclaimed “cute transsexual from Transylvania”) and his hunky, shirtless creation (the titular rocky).
