Hello to Our One Listener: Notes on Camp (2024)
Ian and Page, your two favorite store-brand English professors, have put together a syllabus for reading our way to an understanding of the 21st Century.
This episode, we're talking about how Camp absolutely slays the house down boots, divas. Listen along as we discuss how 2000 was the last year of Camp until the Barbie movie and how auteur directors are resurrecting the studio system to bring Camp back. We get into Sontag's seminal essay "Notes on Camp" as we discuss Gladiator II & The Substance, and we talk about the essay collection Tacky by Rax King as a love letter of Millennial culture. We also talk about passably hot nepo babies, radio plays, and how much Page hates Darren Aronofsky.
Subscribe to get our June 8 episode where we talk about the award winning novels of 2001: Empire Falls by Richard Russo*, The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen*, and John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead*.
