Have you sent your kids? Any funny stories come from those experiences? Summer camp has long been fodder for movie mayhem and a new comedy has been added to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Dowling is our guest on the latest Faith Film Fan Podcast. He talks with host Rick Altizer about his new movie, <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilmfan.com\/new-releases#bad-counselors\"><strong>BAD COUNSELORS<\/strong>,<\/a> which is in theaters July 22-27 only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movie stars Matt Cornett, Ramon Reed, Brec Bassinger, and McKaley Miller. Its premise is built around two fraternity brothers that end a crazy college evening with so many community-service hours they won\u2019t be able to graduate on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why <strong>BAD COUNSELORS<\/strong>, Chris?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m a father; I&#8217;ve got a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old, and I don&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s a lot of stuff for them in this space that just kind of speaks to them as believers. We&#8217;ve done test audiences with teens, with young adults, youth groups and I&#8217;ve never had this before, but we had a 97% recommend rate, which is crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese guys start out one way, and they get to get to experience something \u2026 that changes them in the end. Certainly, youth groups are going, we&#8217;re rallying young adults in the faith space, but also people that just like comedy and family films. There&#8217;s such a lack of stuff (out there) that&#8217;s not animated, but still for the family. And this is a film that the entire family can enjoy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt&#8217;s got that camp nostalgia in it too. You know, it&#8217;s got a lot of heart and that was the intent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d encourage you to listen to the full <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilmfan.com\/podcast\">FFF Pod with Chris<\/a> and then let us know if you are going to see <strong>BAD COUNSELORS<\/strong>. If you do, let us know what you liked most about it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you ever go to summer camp? Have you sent your kids?
