In the second season premiere of Camp Camp, "Cult Camp", Gwen placed an advertisement in the local newspaper searching for a new counselor. To her dismay, the first and only applicant is Daniel, a man who looks, acts, and talks exactly like her co-counselor, David.
It turns out that Daniel is a cult leader, who is a combination of a Scientologist and the infamous cult leader
Jim Jones. David is completely oblivious to the fact and won't listen to the kids when they try to tell him the truth. This leads to an entertaining series of events where Max is confronted by more kids as they've been effectively hypnotized into loving Daniel.
The straw that broke the camel's back is funny, although Daniel is ever-naive. This leads to a showdown between Daniel and David in a musical battle that is memorable not only in its music but also in the fun animation in the scene. The finale is really funny and is probably my favorite resolution to any episode in the entire series.
"Cult Camp" is well worth watching. The storyline is funny and Max's actions and David's reactions are great. It also has a fantastic musical battle with lively and entertaining animation. The resolution is hilarious and stands at the top of the conflict resolutions in the series. Most importantly, Daniel is the villain the series deserves. Pikeman was a funny adversary, but. like the Joker to Batman, Daniel is the perfect dark mirror image of David. "Cult Camp" is, without a doubt, the best episode in the entire Camp Camp run.
Final Verdict:
5 out of 5
