Summer Camp Movies with Zach Busby
On Season 4’s first bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we head off to summer camp with Zach Busby (Austin-based comedian, sous chef, and English major), who guides us through the buffoonery and mischief-making in "Meatballs," "Little Darlings," and "Wet Hot American Summer." Join the three of us as we discover the heretofore unbeknownst philosophy of Meatballs Nihilism, that Mom’s not the only one with a crush on Matt Dillon, and how absurdity, quirkiness, and heart can lead to a cult classic.
