Is It Camp?‪!‬ Is it Camp?!

This episode: Cruising




Camp Counsellor Sarah has been asked to go undercover in the seedy, dangerous, and very real world of hermit crab enthusiasts in order to catch a criminal of some variety. She's got a big tank, a whole bunch of shells, and one very happy crab she's named Theodore. But now she's worried she doesn't know where Sarah ends, and her alias as a hermit crab groomer begins. Or has she always been this way? So Sam's stopped by so they can watch William Freidkin’s Cruising, and see if that will help clear things up.

How old was Al Pacino when he made this? What weird connection does this have to The Exorcist, beyond being directed by the same guy? And what’s up with the sound on this film?

Join us for an episode where we work out in front of a mirror and yell “Yes!” while doing so!

This episode: Orlando




Do you know how incredibly fortunate you are to live at the same time Tilda Swinton exists? Unless you're listening to this in the far future. But she might still exist. We don't know that she isn't an immortal being. Anyways, where was I? Oh it's Pride Month again and we've decided to pay homage to one of the most ethereal Beings on the planet, Tilda, by watching her big breakout film Orlando. Billy Zane is also in it!

What does Genderfluid even mean? Can we go more than 5 minutes without describing Tilda? And who remembers Post-Secret?

Join us for an episode that isn't concerned about miracles.

This episode: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves



The game screen is up. The die have been cast. Character sheets are filled in. And Riley Silverman has once more graced our pod to act as DM to our two Camp Counsellors in a bespoke adventure called This Episode. We start our adventure in a theatre, as the lights dim, and projected onto the screen is Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves. The crowd goes wild, our heroes clap, and then they must roll for initiative.

How do you deal with fantasy racism? What's your preferred style of game play? And who's a good boy? WHO'S A GOOD BOY?

Join us in an episode where two of us have fantasy names, and one of us called their character Jim.
