Reel to Reel is back with a new run of episodes this summer! Inspired by the recent Met Gala, Will and Nina discuss Susan Sontag's seminal essay "Notes on Camp," what is (and isn't) camp, and why some art is so bad it's good. Musicians and films discussed include ABBA, Queen, "Grease," John Waters films, and Italo disco. Clips used: - Susan Sontag interview with Charlie Rose (1995) - "Do It Again" by Easy Going - "Beauty School Dropout" by Frankie Avalon - "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen - "Waterloo" by ABBA
