Adventures in Babysitting (1987)

"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 Mentioned The Guardian: Blacking up, wacky Asians and the Libyans - the worst of 80s movie racism Vulture: Elisabeth Shue Answers Every Question You Have About Adventures in Babysitting ------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
