Is It Camp?!

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!

But Sarah has come across some big juicy gossip that she heard through...

So before they head out on their trip, they enlist the help of returning guest Lady Bearica, who knows...

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.

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.

Or will it be forced to choose between two equally terrible fates of either being forgotten or completely hated? Is this musical a...

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...

This episode: The Airing of Delights 2! It's that time of year again! We did it. Another full year of programming just for our faithful Campers. All the stars of the stage and screen are here tonight, as we give out arbitrary awards in categories we made up and voted on by no one but ourselves. Don't like the results? Tough ties. 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...

This episode: A Shot in the Dark The scene begins with a long shot of the exterior of the Is It Camp Palace, where we watch as the Counsellors move in and out of different rooms. Hiding an affair?

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

Well, in order to figure that out, we are sitting down woth the second film in our Mup...

This episode: CATS Is It Camp is having a ball! But not just any ball, a Jellicle Ball! What's a Jellicle Ball you may ask, why here comes Camp Counsellor Sam Tam Tagger to explain what it is. But before he can get a word out, he's stopped by the Wellington of Crime, Camp Counsellor Sarah Irenadler! Oh woe is us, cue 17 minutes of uninterrupted dancing. OK, this makes little to no sense. 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? How about Rafe Spall? Elia Kazan's granddaughter? Shit. How is this film Can-Con? We will figure this out, while we look figure out of men and women can ever truly be friends. Unless the film decides not...

This week: Different From The Others (1919) *gesticulating wildly for almost two hours, followed by title card*  It's week three of *Pride Month* and the Counsellors are going back. Way back.

This episode: Something for Everyone It's *Pride Month*, and the Counsellors have decided to open back up the Palace to the general public! But where did they get the money for the renovations?

Oh what dark co...

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. Turns out, he's training to become a Professional Bodybuilder. He's leaning out, bulking up, and eating five dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. What could have possibly happened to get him on this road, because to Sarah, this is as...
