Heavyweights

Carlos loved Heavyweights as a kid, Donna had never heard of it, and Chris realized that his memories of it were actually a combination of several other "kids run amok" movies from this era. Ben Stiller's hilariously over-the-top performance seems to be the main thing everyone remembers about it and we all decided that aspect was not oversold. Tony Perkis isn't just a precursor to Dodgeball's White Goodman (although the comparisons are fair). It's actually a surprisingly nuanced character - seriously! Topics include: Donna's own experiences at summer camp, her one major gripe with the film, the most elaborate way Chris was ever rejected by a girl he asked out, misleading IMDb trivia, whether or not the Apache Relay subplot was necessary, our favorite Lars moments, and much much more! iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram About The Show
