About this episode
Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.
This week, they make their dear friend comedian/writer/podcaster Samantha Rager watch Sleepaway Camp.
Robert Hiltzik's 1983 Sleepaway Camp is a movie that scarred Mike for decades when he saw it in the theater at 11 years old. He was already watching horror movies of the day and had a subscription to Fangoria, but there was something about seeing kids his own age get killed in a slasher flick and the twist ending that literally caused him nightmares for over 30 years until he revisited the movie as an adult. Now Sleepaway Camp has become a favorite to both him and his wife Allyson.
Will Sam Rager find this as terrifying as a young Mike did, or will she appreciate the silliness of it like an adult Allyson does?
Even if they movie's infamous ending doesn't cause a scare, the ending to this week's episode will come as quite a shock.
