Description

"Now boys, if either of you give me any grief I swear to God I'll kill you. Dead, murdered, stabbed."ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING is an undeniable classic of the teen girl movie canon, but the fish-out-of-water story of a group of kids from the suburbs thrust into Chicago has aged ... poorly. We have a lovingly frank discussion about an absolute blast of a movie, that tried very hard to be different from the blatantly offensive films of the years prior but couldn't quite stick the landing. That said, there's a reason people still have so much love for this film, and a reason why "don't fuck with the babysitter" is one of the all-time great line deliveries in the genre.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Articles MentionedThe Guardian: Blacking up, wacky Asians and the Libyans - the worst of 80s movie racismVulture: Elisabeth Shue Answers Every Question You Have About Adventures in Babysitting-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
