Is It Camp?!

Sam and Sarah are your camp counselors here to ask: Is it Camp?! We are diving into popular culture of all kinds to loosely identify what makes something camp. We are not here to be the definitive experts on it, but rather just talk about this often overlooked, and frankly queer, subgenre. It"s not just movies, but TV, literature, and pop culture of all kinds.

This episode: Rocky IV This last year Counsellor Sam has been going on an awful lot about his training for a bodybuilding show, and finally in week 3 of *Holiday Month* he's not the only one doing the training. Sarah is going to avenge the death of her best friend by fighting another person. Perhaps to the death! In Vancouver (tick off that bingo square)! But can vengeance alone fuel her rage, and get her yoked enough to kill a man, or do we need love and heart too? To help us out, we've

This episode: LA Story The Counsellors are taking a week off of *Holiday Season* to celebrate a new addition to the Counselling Staff, with Editor Warren's Birthday!

Can a movie with Enya songs in the soundtrack pull it off? What were some things we almost got in this film, but it is not poorer for the

This episode: Eight Crazy Nights It's week two of the *Holiday Season*, and the Counsellors have decided to look into holidays other than the usual one for this year's programming, and what better than Hanukkah? Well this may not have been the property to watch for it, unfortunately, as Counsellor Sam has programmed the animated Adam Sandler movie, Eight Crazy Nights. What is the bright and shining silver lining of this film? What voice performance is genuinely surprising? And what little

This episode: Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever ‘Tis the first week of the *Holiday Season*, and the Counsellors are filled with the spirit of rampant consumerism. And this year they are big into Memes. We'd tell you what gifts they're giving, but that's getting ahead of ourselves. But how do we get into the Holiday Mood? Maybe if we watch the Lifetime movie based upon the hit meme: Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever! What turn in the movie genuinely surprised Sam? What squares

This episode: Space Trash by Jenn Woodall The setting: space. The time: the far flung future. We were told that the planet had become drastically un-camp. The people dug too deeply and greedily and deprived the Earth of its Camp resources, so the majority of the population went to space to find new Camp resources. But on a single colony on the moon, a couple of Camp Counsellors are certain that perhaps the situation on Earth may not be as dire as we thought. Maybe there's still some Camp

Our Counsellors have also developed the unfortunate side effect of talking faster, and Sam can't even be seen by Sarah, so she has to run the whole show while he literally phones his role in. But Sarah has come across some big juicy gossip that she heard through Robin, who heard it from the groundskeeper, who in turn got it from their dentist, and it's all
