Looking forward to a summer of go carts, swimming in the lake, and bonding with other “husky” kids, Gerry gets a rude shock to the system when the camp is unceremoniously taken over by the manic fitness guru Tony Perkis. Today we roast some marshmallows over the campfire while we chat about 1995 children’s classic Heavyweights. Camp never looked so fun and Ben Stiller is at his most unhinged, so join Eli and Denise as they reminisce about this gem!

It is a very special week in the Top Shelf Video store as an acclaimed director in the genre film world, Jill Gevargizian came by to return some video tapes. She gave us some of her time to talk to us about her films, how she got into directing, her love for Kansas City, and some great behind-the-scenes nuggets for all of us.

We discuss her first feature film The Stylist from 2020 and how the project developed to where it has taken her and her journey as a director. Spoiler Warning for The Stylist as we talk a lot of shots and moments in depth so block out time to watch the movie first

We also discuss her new film Ghost Game which is available now where you find your favorite streaming movies online. You can also pre-order a Blu-ray copy of the movie at Epic Pictures' website

In this episode of the Top Shelf Video podcast, the guys bring in new applicants from The Flickers from the Cave podcast to see if they have what it takes to run the shop when Jaime and Eli are away. As part of their application process, they offer their movie suggestion for this week, Raw Force. This movie has everything from Kung Fu, luxury ships, exotic resorts, monks, shag carpets and cannibals. Does the gang at Flickers from the Cave have what it takes to work at Top Shelf Video and does Raw Force have what it takes to make the Top Shelf Video?
