In an unexpected twist, Sam recaps a movie from his childhood, this time the 1985 classic D.A.R.Y.L. that is definitely not a horror movie and definitely not about robots. When Daryl, an amnesiac child is (definitely not) pushed from the side of a mysterious car in the woods, he is taken in by a couple that the movie swears are good parents (they definitely are not). Unfortunately, Daryl is too perfect, which no parent ever has complained about except these ones. We soon learn that Daryl is not everything he appears to be and when the foster parents are forced to give him up to better parents, chaos ensues, and we quickly realize that Danielle is willing to list any and all ways to “get rid” of a child, and Sam is willing to list any and all 1985 computer specs. As usual, what promises to be a fun, family film devolves rapidly into the dark underworld of ineffective parenting and the morality of using children for evil. So, the usual shenanigans.
