Camp Gargyle: Heavyweights (1995) review

Gooooooood morning, campers!!!  And welcome to another beautiful day at Camp Gargyle!!!  Camp Counselor Chimerican and I are continuing our Camp Gargyle summer camp series and today's activities will include: well...mostly just talking about Heavyweights (along with quite a few tangents). And don't worry...today's activities will NOT be cancelled due to lack of hustle!! From the minds that brought you The Mighty Ducks and The 40 Year-Old Virgin, this mid-90s Disney classic is a heartwarming tale of self-confidence and self-improvement, wrapped up in a delicious Dodgeball prequel!! So get your go kart gassed up, find a good hiding place for your contraband candy, and get ready for the big dance as Eric and I discuss Heavyweights!!

If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions at Camp Gargyle!!  Next week's episode diverges from the classic summer camp tale as we discuss the unforgettable summer camp horror flick, Sleepaway Camp!!
