Camp evokes positive memories for most of us – playing sports, swimming in a lake, maybe having your first kiss. But for some of us, camp was work. This week on Save the Last Pod, camp sucks, because we’re talking about the 2003 Disney forced child labor film Holes!

In this episode, Amy and Dan discuss a Louis Sachar classic YA book turned movie. They also reminisce about Scholastic Book Fairs, Pizza Huts, and they debate exactly how many holes we all have. Pick up your shovel, fill up your canteen and bite into a raw onion – because why not? – while we take you back to the film debut of Shia LeBeouf.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done lately? Run down the street naked with nothing but a tire to carry around your waist? Pool hop in your principal’s pool late at night? Order a Long Island Iced Tea at the strip club in the middle of the day and run into your dad’s BFF? Oh wait – that’s not you, that’s our movie this week! It’s the 2004 Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert starring romantic teen comedy, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, let’s go!!

In this episode, Amy and Dan chat about cringe yearbook quotes, meaningful high school sex education, and just how cool Timothy Olyphant looks in this film. It’s a horny comedy of unfortunate circumstances featuring an exchange student from Cambodia and personable porn stars that teach us precisely what having moral fiber is. PLUS! A big congratulations to our theme song composer on being a Palm D’Or Winner!

Step back to the summer of 1994, a time when your parents were keen on sending you to computer camp, but you had other plans. You decided to hire a con man, a former drama teacher, to pose as a camp counselor and create your own camp, where the only rule was to have fun. This week on Save the Last Pod, we're taking you back to that unforgettable summer, filled with firecrackers, car repairs, rooftop jumps, and even lima beans! It’s the 30th Anniversary of the nostalgia-inducing, rebellious teen action-comedy, CAMP NOWHERE! Let’s go!!

In this episode, Amy and Dan discuss the future hotties of teen idoldom Jonathan Jackson, Andrew Keegan, and Jessica Alba in their first-ever film credit and where they and the rest of this cast are now. Plus—CULTS! That’s right. We debate the question: Is camp a cult? If Allison Mack is involved, it might just be. Space travel, getting grounded, doctors who wear crop-tops, and 5:15 fly-overs—anything can happen when you are nowhere, including having the greatest summer of your life.
