Description
Clare and Alaina make sense of five campy movies- aka movies that have intentionally exaggerated themes and genres. This genre is extremely broad- coexisting among action movies, musicals, and erotic dramas alike. While some of the movies on our list have been cemented in time as cult classics, others have been poorly received by critics and audience members (both at the time of theatrical release, and today). What makes campy movies great is their eccentric and memorable characters, quirky editing styles, and a self awareness of its genre. Clare has some hot takes on cannibalism, and Alania does the best re-casting in the history of cinema. This is Making Sense of Movies, with Clare and Alaina.
