About this episode

In their 400th episode, the hosts discuss the absurdities of the movie Circus Island during a live performance.

For our 400th episode, Paul, June, & Jason take you on a magical tour of 2006's Circus Island (aka Circus Camp or Island Fever) starring the Landers Sisters and Ed Marinaro. LIVE from Largo in LA, the gang discuss this straight-up bananas movie about long-lost daughters, ghosts, sisters in love with an aging trapeze artist, a pervy kid with a video camera, an absolute psycho mean girl villain, a man named Jamaica Joe, slippery seaweed, and a whole lot of circus training montages. Plus, Paul teaches everyone what it means to have a "sock on the door kind of house." Buy our "Jesus Motorboated Me On Circus Island" t-shirt HERE.
