Wet Hot American Summer with Emily MacLeod


Listen Later

Today we're joined by Emily MacLeod to talk about David Wain's 2001 debut feature, Wet Hot American Summer. We talk about our connection to summer camp, break down the massively influential cast, read the list of rejected titles for the film, and correct some misconceptions about what an "associate professor" is.

On Top Five this week, we break down our Top Five Movies Where the Costumes Are Better Than the Movie.

Follow the show on Twitter @beautspod, and check out what Jack is watching on Letterboxd @ jkradb. Enjoying the show? Buy Jack a coffee. We're also on iTunes, and ratings and reviews are always appreciated - and, of course, subscriptions on whatever platforms you use go a long way.

Listen to this movie is gay!

We've got two highlighted charities this week:

  1. Speak About It uses theater and dialogue to highlight diverse identities and share practical tools for sexual assault prevention. Support Speak About It directly here!
  • Abortion Access Fund works to ensure access to abortion care, and distribute funding for clinic owners, providers, and patients in need. Support Abortion Access Fund directly here!
  • Thanks as always to Ross Kroeber for the show name, Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the show art, and to Podbean for hosting us.

    Have a Beaut-iful week, and Happy Holidays!
