Flesh For Frankenstein (1974) feat. Reyna Cervantes Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Week 4 of the Summer of Camp finds us fucking life in the gallbladder with Flesh For Frankenstein (1974). Along for the ride is returning guest Reyna Cervantes, who loves Paul Morrissey's X-Rated satire, which could never be made today!

After Trace provides a quick crash course on Andy Warhol and The Factory, we dive into the 3D, the Mafia (!) and the incest/necrophilia of it all (C/W by the way).

Plus: hot Udo Kier, the destruction of the nuclear family, asexuality vs gay vibes, debates about male full frontal nudity, and James Cameron?

Female Trouble (1974) feat. Andy Scahill Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

The Summer of Camp rolls on as Professor Andy Scahill returns to discuss our very first John Waters film, Female Trouble (1974). This is a great introduction to Waters, the Dreamlanders and Divine in a film that defines bad taste and trash.

Come for the discussion on why Christmas is hard on queers, our love of Mink Stole and how the film evokes Waters' counter culture approach to indie filmmaking. Are you offended? Good!

Nurse 3D (2013) Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Grab your vecuronium and prepare to get bottomless because week two of the Summer of Camp is tackling Doug Aarniokoski's Nurse 3D (2013). This is just...what is this? It's Paz de la Huerta acting in a completely different film than the stacked cast around her. It's lawsuits and delays. It's fetish costuming, shitty 3D post-conversion and the wildest voice-over you've ever heard.

Trace offers a recap lesson while Joe questions the poorly incorporated rape plot (C/W) while drawing a surprising number of comparisons to our Showgirls episode.

But is it camp? We're still not sure what this film is; all we know is that we love our fucking jobs.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) feat. Amelia Emberwing Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

Oh crap oh crap oh crap! The swan ate our baby and the most smartest tapper needs to go to state! That's right, we're discussing Michael Patrick Jann's seminal dark comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) with IGN's streaming editor Amelia Emberwing. Think we can do it? Amer-I-CAN!

Join us as we track the film’s journey from a script called Dairy Queens to a box office and commercial failure to a stone-cold cult classic beloved by (and offensive to) many. We’re laughing at eating disorders, mental disability and pedophilia. How did this get made?

Plus: non-stop praise for this outstanding cast, discussing the on-set tensions between the writer and the director, debating the effectiveness (or lack thereof?) of the third act, and an It Takes Two tangent? Ding! Fries are up!

The New Mutants (2020) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

Surprise! We're opening the Patreon vault to deliver an episode on a film with one of the most infamously troubled production histories of all time. That's right! After years (literally years) of waiting, we are discussing Josh Boone's adaptation of The New Mutants and it's.....fine?

After spending a good amount of this episodes runtime going through the film's laborious production history and discussing the racist accusations lobbied against the film, we educate ourselves on the source material before doing a deep dive into the film itself.

We've got a front-and-center queer romance, lots of garbage CGI, teenage trauma porn, mostly solid accent work and a blessed 86-minute runtime. Does it all work? Absolutely not. But it's not as bad as it could have been, so we guess that's something?
