  • DAY-O what a SHOW

    I love this podcast so much.

    It strikes the exact right balance between funny and substantive, and the movies Baby and Crystal have chosen for entry into the camp pantheon are all excellent (or at least have all made for good shows!). I have a couple of good laughs every episode, and usually end up with something that stays with me, whether it’s about representation, or queer joy, or just a reminder of something to quote nonstop to my boyfriend until he is driven sufficiently insane.

  • It’s perfect!!!!

    Up until now I was under the impression that I was the only one on this planet that considered Basic Instinct 2 Risk Addiction a, dare I say, tour de force.

    As someone that loves camp, and furthermore loves trash movies I have a lot of fun with this podcast. Similar to Risk Addiction, the use of sound bites in every episode careens past overdone and crashes right into perfection.

    Also, I personally believe that Carrie was masturbating in the shower. I mean, wasn’t it obvious?
