In the real world, the only good thing about summer camp is calamine lotion. But in TV movies and films, it's as if summer camp is raucous fun. If you've never seen Bill Murray in Meatballs, the ultimate camp film, Salute Your Shorts is a place to start. Here's the story: New kid (Eric Mac-Arthur) comes to camp. Nerd (Tim Eyster) befriends him. Bully (Danny Cooksey) bullies him. Campers volley gross jokes. Boys raid girls' cabin. Bonehead counselor (Kirk Baily) is routinely humiliated. The only real surprise is that the show was produced by Twin Peaks mastermind David Lynch's Propaganda Films.
