PODCAST

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: Venom: Let There Be Carnage Sarah and Sam have now formed a perfect symbiosis, and she now wears him as a big meat suit. They're now the Mighty Camp Queen, the Regal Protector. But a second, EVIL symbiote, is making a whole bunch of carnage, and in this carnage, they need to be stopped before more carnage is carnaged. Let's call them Naughty-Boi. Anywhere, before we get to the big CGI Fight, can our Camp Counsellors come to a consensus about today's film Venom: Let There Be Carnage

The trunk is filled with body glitter, knee pads, and tear away costumes, and now we're going to throw all of that out the window, as we drive into Magic Mike XXL!

This episode: Street Fighter (1994) Campers! We found a cool fighting area in the back, and down a flight of steps. The whole layout is in the shape of a skull with wings, and has a skelly chandelier, and some kind of mutagenic lab! Sam also found a copy of Street Fighter on VHS to watch, so we sat down and did that instead of explore further into the Is It Camp Palace. (Really, it's getting quite sprawling in its layout.) How much Jean-Claude Van Dam can Sarah take before she spinning kicks

And what could be more camp than internationally famous European Disco/Funk group Boney M. singing about Christmas? Sam has a deep, dark confession to make about the holiday season. Not Gremlins dark, but dark enough. Will Sarah grade these songs on a bell curve? And what the hell is this hideous Christmas Goblin song that's somehow made its

And Sam and Sarah are snuggled down, inside the closet next to the fireplace of the main hall ready to spring a trap and catch Santa in action! But can our hosts stop falling for this unnervingly attractive Santa long enough to talk about our film this episode? That's right, we are talking about the Kurt Russell vehicle, The Christmas Chronicles! Or are we just talking

This episode: Xanadu Finally, the plans have been drawn up to properly open the Is It Camp Palace! Turns out, it's a night club/disco/theatre/camping ground/recording studio/*insert Miranda Hart saying "Slash"* All it took was the influence of one heavenly body (Gene Kelly) and a beloved musical star (Olivia Newton-John) for us to finally see our vision come to life, and no those designations weren't a mistake. Can Disco and Big Band really come together to save Xanadu, or is it too late for them

This episode: Amélie Today we are off to Montmartre to immerse ourselves in whimsy, the possibility of love, and magical realism. What is magical realism? Good thing Sam prepared a veritable lecture for you on it, as we go over 2001's Amélie! Is this film saccharine sweet, or will our Counsellors come out the other end wanting a pure love? How did Sam's mum meet her husband? Will Sarah say something to piss off the British Royal Family? Maybe all these questions are interconnected, and if you

Lots of musicals to talk about, but only tangentially tonight as we discuss StageFright! (The 1987 Italian horror film, not the many other versions) But this time we're not interested in the Musical, but rather the MURDERS being done to the cast and crew!
