Leave the pups at home, we're bringing the Hard R to Camp this week. We discuss Kevin Smith's Tusk, about a psycho who turns Justin Long into a heinous meat-suit-wearing walrus. You'll either love or hate this movie and that's part of the fun! Fun? Well, morbidly fascinating at least. Along the way we cover the joys of Smith's filmography, the pains of poutine, and if Johnny Depp's casting was a Cana-do or a Cana-don't. Plus, Peter Lorre gets his groove back reviewing the Bela Lugosi camp film, The Devil Bat (1940). Thanks for listening friends and special thanks to Naomi and Sean for joining us this week.

We'll see you next time for Dracula's Daughter (1936) - a classic Universal film with returning guest, Naomi Osborn.
