Welcome back to Summer Camp Month on So Many Sequels! This week, we’re diving into Disney’s Heavyweights (1995), a surprisingly heartfelt and chaotic comedy about kids at a “fat camp,” fitness cults, and one of Ben Stiller’s wildest performances.
The crew explores the film’s mix of slapstick, sincerity, and social awkwardness, questioning whether it holds up nearly 30 years later. We talk about the movie’s treatment of body image, the legacy of '90s kid comedies, and how this movie might be a secret prequel to Dodgeball. Plus: early Keenan Thompson, VHS sales pitches, and the unforgettable line “Lunch has been canceled due to lack of hustle.”
🎧 Subscribe, leave us a review, and let us know: is Heavyweights a cult classic or just a chaotic time capsule?
