We have two guest on this weeks show, the lovely and talented Steve Zalar and St. Manna the Destroyer! It’s still scotch month so that means I woke up drunk this morning. Woof.
Look! It’s a Fringe Festival show that Matt and Jena are in!

After having listened to all the previous podcasts back to back (save Ep 91), it’s odd to have to wait for each episode, refreshing the browser every half hour to see if the new one’s been posted yet.
Haha! I started a trend of guests bringing booze.
Aric’s podcast I tried to describe: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/better-strangers/id438173797
Minimum years needed to be a Scotch whiskey: 3.
And, to be pedantic, Laphroaig, as Manna said, is from the Isle of Islay, but it’s pronounced ee*la, not is*lay. I made the mistake myself before I started my research for the Scotch club I’m in.
Knighted!
Would you count “American Pie Presents Band Camp” as a camp movie? I’ve not seen it, so I can’t say, but the description implies it might.
Possibly. Though I haven’t seen it either.
…I’m kind of afraid to listen to this one…
The StarTribune has a guide to local summer camps they publish in the spring
I agree with the idea of “camp movies” being more about the sentiment than the setting. I don’t think they’ve just transitioned to different settings in contemporary movies, though.
To a large extent, summer camp (and the movies about it, by extension) was about rare moments of freedom to interact with peers under much less rigid circumstances than everyday life. A temporary escape. Up through the mid-90s, when camp movies had their last hurrah, that was still a very culturally-relevant idea. But now, with most kids having access to texting, e-mail, the Internet etc., I just don’t think that sentiment resonates in the same way. Kids still go to camp, but it’s not really about those things anymore. Now, it’s seen more as something parents force on their kids in order to temporarily rip them away from the digital world in an effort to make them get “back to basics.”
Also, on a related note, I actually went to a “special” summer camp for disabled kids when I was little. That experience was surreal as shit. Imagine a summer camp where most of the kids can’t go in the pool/lake and can’t go anywhere that isn’t paved. Ill conceived event, much?
