Is It Camp?!

This episode: My Man Godfrey (1936) Some rich ne'er-do-wells have made their way onto the Palace grounds in an effort to win a scavenger hunt, and the last item on their list: “human dignity”. But Sam and Sarah are having none of this bullshit, especially on week 2 of *Romance Month*. That is, until Horrible Puppet Robin gets taken away and becomes not just their prize but also the rich asshol...

This episode: The Witches of Eastwick (1987) Welcome to week on of *Romance Month* and we've decided to fling open the doors of the Is It Camp Palace for some sexy sex! We've invited one blonde, one brunette, one red head, and Satan himself. We love a polycule, and really can't see any problems in the future, other than Veronica Cartwright going on about bad stuff outside. So we're...

This episode: Relax, I'm From the Future The scene: the Is It Camp Palace. The time: 3:53pm. Suddenly a flash of electricity, and from a portal step out two people clad entirely in polyester. Why, it's the future versions of Counsellors Sam and Sarah, and they've come back in time to just… Dick around. Not save the future or change the course of mankind, just kind of eat snacks and a c...

This episode: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid It was 3pm on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and into the offices of Is It Camp Private Eye he walked. Sam was 5'11, hair as red as a panda, and shoulders wider than the doorframe. Gumshoe Sarah knew this was the bad start to a worse mystery, but dammit, a mystery was always her weakness. Upon entering, he immediately fainted, and uttered one phrase: De...

This episode: House of Gucci Good news Campers! Sarah has decided to dedicate all her energy into the cutthroat pursuit of launching Is It Camp to new levels of success. She's marrying up, making international business deals, and hiring Al Pacino to give motivational “Hooahs!” throughout the day. And all this because she watched Ridley Scott's House of Gucci. It worked for them, it can wor...

This episode: Mothra New Year. Same Camp Counsellors. Except this time, as we emerge from our Camp Cocoons (not in a geriatric way), we also plan on devastating not one, but two major cities along the way! No one will dare to try and stop us, and surely our rampage hasn't been brought on by the kidnapping of our favourite Horrible Puppet. The United militaries of the world stand in our path, so we...

This episode: Batman Returns It's the final week of *Holiday Month* and the Counsellors have decided to do the most festive thing imaginable: dress up like mammals and fight crime! But in order to do so, Sam must first be pushed out of the window of the tallest tower in the Is It Camp Palace. How bad can it go? He learned about it from watching Batman Returns, and now you can too! How much tim...

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,...

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! And as was foretold in the ancient texts, the Counsellor must choose a property they love to share with the rest of us. So Warren has chosen to share the Steve Martin romantic comedy LA Story. Can a movie with Enya songs in the so...

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 an...

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...

This episode: Grease After the Counsellors hired the single most embarrassing caricature artist for portraits in the Grand Foyer, the Counsellors have decided to revisit their high-school years to feel….

This episode: Our Flag Means Death season 2 We are back on the high seas with Captain KatyBeth, and the Counsellors are looking for a transformative experience. Personal, emotional, spiritual, physical, whatever. After we are done with this adventure we will be more ourselves than ever before. But along the way we will have fun too, because we may be a crew, but we are also *family*.  And what bet...

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 pe...

This episode: The Women (1939) There's been a chromatic accident at the Is It Camp Palace, and now everything in black and white! 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...

This episode: Final Destination The Counsellors are hitting the skies in their bespoke Camp Bi-Plane. They both settle in for a long flight, only to hit sudden turbulence! Sam is rocketed out his seat and into the sky, and Sarah is instantly vaporized as the plane— It was all a dream. Or was it? So before they head out on their trip, they enlist the help of returning guest Lady Bearica, who knows...

This episode: Ghostwatch We are live from the Campest House on Earth: the Is It Camp?! Palace. What strange paranormal events will we see? A television that turns on the AbFab reruns by itself! Macrame! A third thing! The camp levels are so overwhelming its beginning to spill out into the rest of the world!

This episode: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood Here we are Campers: the day after Friday the 13th!

This week: Death Becomes Her After several failed attempts at canceling the show by the powers that be (fuck you Bezos!) The Counsellors have discovered a means of keeping the Podcast going INDEFINITELY. With a magic potion that will grant them eternal life and youth. The problem is they will be stuck with each other…. Forever…. But that's fine. They get a long so well. So in order to prepare...

This episode: The Doctor Who TV movie, titled Doctor Who, but better known as the one with McGann (1996) The studio execs have decided to reboot Is It Camp for a new and sexy young audience. Sarah is being replaced by a girl from a failed CW pilot who also has a barely existent singing career, and Sam will be killed off on-screen to be replaced by Russel Tovey. The horror! His arms aren't even as...

This episode: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Years ago, there was a terrible accident at the entrance to the Is It Camp Palace, and the rumor is that Sam was horribly disfigured by Sarah, and now she has to take care of him.

Sam & Sarah are heading on a vacation to the most glamorous place in all of Canada: the Edmonton Mall. Oh wow, its like a shopping paradise, and you know, you just don't hear enough about it....

This episode: Glitter Nope. We've done this too many times now. At least once a year the Camp Counsellors try to start a band and make it big, and frankly it's becoming old hat. They start out, gain some momentum, start to make it big, dark night of soul, reconciliation, life is better than ever, the end. It's been done so much that even Mariah Carey got in on this plot. So that's...

This episode: Paprika Oh goodness, I just had the weirdest dream. That Camp Counsellors Sam and Sarah took me to a nightclub, but everyone there was my mom, and then she made me move down into the sewers where a Nosferatu was loose, but because I was in a pineapple costume I couldn't move too well, and I fell over, and the Camp Counsellors watched as the Nosferatu disembowled me through the pi...

This episode: Love Never Dies It's here, the sequel to the episode that no-one but Camp Counsellor Sarah was asking to do. The phantom of…. well, Phantom of the Opera looms large over this property, but can Love Never Dies escape as its own property worthy of love? Or will it be forced to choose between two equally terrible fates of either being forgotten or completely hated? Is this musical a...
