Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review22 Kesä

Heavyweights (1995)

This week, Gene and Big D tackle a commission with a personal touch: Zach — a top 0.5% Shat the Movies listener and fitness industry pro — was gifted a review of the 1995 Disney comedy Heavyweights. Written by Judd Apatow and Steven Brill, the film follows a group of boys at Camp Hope who rebel against the unhinged fitness entrepreneur Tony Perkis Jr. (Ben Stiller) after he takes over their beloved fat camp.

Gene and Big D dig into what made Heavyweights a touchstone for chubby '90s kids — and why it bombed at the box office. Along the way, they debate whether Ben Stiller has ever done anything other than the same one character, what Disney could never get away with releasing today, the lost art of summer camp independence, and why the movie's ending completely undercuts its message.

They also celebrate an exciting milestone: a limited-edition Shat the Movies 500th episode mission patch, made in America by a veteran-owned company in Tennessee. Only 50 available.
