Space Camp: A Xennial Girl Summer Rewatch
We journeyed to outer space and back on our final Xennial Girl Summer rewatch of 2026: The 1986 classic Space Camp. Join us for all the 80's camp (including a robot named Jinx) and a discussion of the cultural climate at the time the movie was released.
This film is hard to find on streaming services, so we watched it on Archive.org
