  • Love this podcast ❤️

    I love how they take camp seriously and go deep (ahem) on movies that never get that treatment. Top tier reviews. I’d also like to throw in a suggestion. Hudson Hawk!

    High hair, thoughtful takes. I cannot wait for the films they glam as they pick through the celluloid closet and turn out some lewks.
