Episode 128 (September 13, 2024)
Laci and Matt are off to learn how to be better camp counselors by getting back to basics. Safety. Canoeing. Shooting arrows. Singing “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley.” Making love and drawing the ire of Mrs. Voorhees. Trying to keep their bodies fragrance free, so as not to attract bears.
On a totally unrelated note, this episode is about Friday the 13th Part 2, Matt’s favorite entry in his favorite horror series. It’s the debut of Jason as the killer, although he still hasn’t quite nailed his look. Still, it’s an absolute blast and a wonderful time capsule of the 1970s turning into the ‘80s.
So put on your little Mickey Mouse shirt and even littler short pants and join us at Camp Crystal Lake… actually, this one’s at Camp Packanack, but it’s all kind of the same.
