Is It Camp?!

This episode: Money Plane It's time for our bi-annual heist, Campers. By that we mean twice a year, because we love a heist here. But this time, it's a plane! Sam's the muscle, so naturally he'll be in the cockpit the whole time. Sarah is the getaway driver, so she'll be directing the heist and doing tech from the ground. So they've brought in an expert in Jo Graham, of the How2Wrestling podcast,...

This episode: Weetzie Bat The sun set just off the Western Lawn of the Is It Camp Palace, as the cicadas hummed in the summer heat, the smell of fresh cut grass, and a blessed cool breeze blew in. On the veranda, Sam and Sarah and Horrible Puppet Robin lounged, sipping margaritas and noshing on slices of Fool's Gold, and the world moved around them despite the stillness of the evening. When yo...

Go to the Oscars if you want those. But who will win what an...

This episode: Mr. Right Sam's just been dumped. Sarah has murdered her way through an elite squad of mercenaries. But when these two cross paths, maybe Romance will blossom… no wait, he's gay, and he's not her type. But maybe their combined weirdness can navigate today's movie, Mr Right. Yes, it is another property by a terrible person, but the chemistry of the leads is electric! Will Sam Rockwell...

To figure this out, Sarah dons a series of d...

B...

This episode: The F Word / What If It's Canada Day, or near enough to it that the Counsellors have programmed some Canadian Content! And what's more Canadian than Daniel Radcliffe? No?

Unless the film decides not...

This episode: Pumping Iron Some keen Campers may have noticed that in the past few weeks Camp Counsellor Sam has changed how he refers to himself.

What could have possibly happened to get him on this road, because to Sarah, this is as...
