July 08, 2023 Episode 100: Is It A Hot Air Balloon To Heaven?
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. But what's this, through the fog of the night? Why is special guest star Anthony "Book of Numbers" Oliveira, to help us out. And with him we are going to watch the disaster of all disaster films, Cats, for our 100th episode!
Could you make a sequel to Cats based entirely around an Avengers concept? What caused this film to go so very wrong? And how many times will we go off topic? It's Cats, so the plot is a little thin….
Jellicle Campers come out tonight, Jellicle Campers come one come all!

July 01, 2023 Episode 99: Is It Gravy, the Universal Sauce?
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 to figure that out too. Here, watch The F Word and see if you can help us figure this out, while the Counsellors talk about the relationship between Emily Carr and Ninja Turtles.
How many locations in this film does Sam know? Is it a good idea to try and force friends to have sex? And have the Counsellors found the official sandwich of the pod?
All this in an episode that has entirely too much banter, but it works as character growth.

June 24, 2023 Episode 98: Is It The Children Longing For The Mines?
This episode: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

To finish out *Pride Month* Sarah and Sam are hitting the road once more. But in a different way they've hit the road before. This time, they're doing it in the Australian outback! Equipped with hot glue guns, an ABBA turd, and more fabric than a Fabricland, these two are determined to make a decent paycheck in a nice town. But how to prepare for the adventure outside of this? Why, by watching the classic LGBTQ+ film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Will Robin manage to stump Sarah in a surprising quiz round? Why is this film different from To Wong Foo? And why is Terrence Stamp one of the most beautiful women out to film?
All this and more in an episode that walks into every town asking for a Bloody Mary.

June 17, 2023 Episode 97: Is It A Pass On A Wooden Spoon?
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. Back to the earliest film we've ever covered and may ever cover on this show. It's the earliest LGBTQ+ film that we know exists, in 1919's Different From The Others. While the film is light on dialogue, it is still relevant today, and while not exactly brimming with humour, our Camp Counsellors do their best to lighten the mood where they can.
What proof do we have that the LGBTQ+ community has always been here? Why are we glad we actually don't have the full version of this film? And we can make jokes about women wanting to be called their husband's ranks, right?
Join us, but very quietly, for this episode that has a lot to say.

June 11, 2023 Episode 96: Is It Whose Wig Is It Anyways?
This episode: Hedwig & the Angry Inch
It's week two of *Pride Month* and we are back on our bullshit trying to start a band! But we are going to approach it differently this time. Now the Counsellors are going to try it with QUEER RAGE! Thankfully it's all unique sounds that no one in their right mind would steal, never ever. And to help on our cross country tour, we've decided to hire the help of a manager, in the form of Lady Bearica! A tremendous spirit with a mean right hook, and they suggest we watch Hedwig & The Angry Inch to get us started in our indy dreams.
What's the Clea Duvall film we want to create? How good is the wig work in this film? And maybe we can all learn from each other, new things about this film!

June 03, 2023 Episode 95: Is It A Two-Hour Version of Fuck, Marry, Kill?
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? Why, their trusty intern, Robin, hooked Sam up with a lovely lady from a very rich family, and now the Counsellors are loaded! One problem: he's gay, and she is in a relationship with Robin!
Oh what dark comedic timing. Maybe Sarah can find a solution to the predicament in the 1970 dark comedy, Something For Everyone. There's supposed to be something for everyone in it!
Is Sarah going to make the pod a True Crime show? Angela Lansbury was how old and showing side-boob? And what is Lotte even doing here? Gah, she's so annoying!
Join us in an episode that's surprisingly filled with lots of juicy murders!

May 27, 2023 Episode 94: Is It How A Pump Feels?
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 foreign as Tibetan Throat Singing.
So Sam has invited his bodybuilding coach, Kris Chambers, aka The Half-Baked Kid, on to discuss our first documentary, Pumping Iron.
Are bodybuilders men to be feared, or venerated? Was that a sly Wicked reference? And will Sarah understand why Sam does this?
Come with us if you want to- wait, sorry, wrong Arnold reference. Let's get HYOOG!

May 20, 2023 Episode 93: Is It No Wampas in Rom-Coms?
This episode: Working Girl

Jump out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, so we can pour ourselves a cup of ambition. We yawn and stretch and notice that we're late! But don't worry, because as the Camp Counsellors, we are our own bosses. But how do we make this podcast more efficient, while also doing a corporate takeover of CampCorp, while also falling in love, while ALSO impersonating each other? It'll be tough, but maybe the hit romantic comedy, Working Girl, can help us figure it out!
If this film were made in the 1930s, who would be the leads? How is Camp Counsellor like Joan Cusack? And what thing has more backstories than the Joker?

May 13, 2023 Episode 92: Is It No Kink During The Apocalypse?
This episode: Justice League Unlimited season 1 episode 7, "The Greatest Story Never Told"

What's that in the sky? It's the Camp Signal! And our Courageous Counsellors jump into the Camp Mobile (an apple green Hyundai Accent), and race off to the emergency!
…meanwhile Robin, the horrible quiz puppet, has been left to their own devices around the Palace. And they've stumbled upon a copy of the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Greatest Story Never Told". What deep and perverse knowledge will Robin glean?
How much time can Sam spend talking about comic book characters today? What's that about a giant butterfly? And how convoluted can the DC Universe REALLY get?
Join us for an episode where you get to be the main character, but no one knows it!

May 06, 2023 Episode 91: Is It The Skaro Arts Council?
This episode: Victor Frankenstein
You've heard this story before. About a mad scientist, and a monster. But we're going to tell you the real story. That Sarah created Sam in a lab from pieces of the most camp figures in history. The lungs of Dali. The right foot of the woman who created macrame. Some hairs from the silliest monarchs. And by harnessing the very power of the storm she brought him to LIFE!!!
And she learned it all from the film Victor Frankenstein. Not a day spent in medical school.
How might the Counsellors rewrite the ending of this film? Who is the under-actor in this film of over-actors? And why are they taking a segue to talk about a fat dragon?
Prepare the equipment, flip the switches, and raise the Podcast into the storm!
