Wistful Thinking

Wistful Thinking goes back to camp this week with 1980's Little Darlings, starring Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal. Jordan and Cara talk about the film's unexpected take on the sexuality of young women, tracking camp tropes, camp hair, and then check in on Jordan's OC rewatch.

Jordan and Cara kick off a summer of camp movies with the classic movie Sleepaway Camp, which has everything a 1980s horror film should have (and more): great hair, short shorts, crop tops, creative murders, heavy New York accents, jazz hands, a baseball game for no reason, and gross practical effects. But is that enough to overlook the problematic third act plot twist?

In this episode of What Am I Chewing, Jordan and Cara are joined by Joey Lewandowski for a debate on what constitutes a salad.

In August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode. In this episode, Joey Lewandowski talked many of your favorite CageClub Podcast Network hosts: Mike Manzi of Third Time’s A Charm, Joe Two of 2 Fast 2 Forever, Chris Podcasts of Now and Again, Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party, Kyle Reinfried of Foodie Films, Jordan Polan-Clarke and Cara Gael O’Regan of Wistful Thinking, Aislinn Addington of The Contenders, Lindsay Gibb of Winona Forever, Jonah Rubino of X is for Podcast, and Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html.
