90s Throwback: Heavyweights

To those of you who remember this strange experiment of a kids
comedy flick, you know that it is a special one. Does the movie
hold up 27 years later though? I guess that's for us to decide in
this 2 part deep dive on Steven Brill's 1995 camp-comedy,
Heavyweights. Perkisizing, twinkie-pizzas, and the "Body system"
will all ensue. Chipmunks, download!


This episode is relatively spoiler-free. We
offer our surface level opinions on the film as well as some
background on the making of the movie. Come back next week for
