We’re getting both A) loosey and B) goosey on this episode covering a 35mm themed Trylon double-bill of teen comedy cult classics: DON’T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER’S DEAD (1991) and ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING (1987)!

Tune in for a discussion of the conformist themes running through DON’T TELL MOM as well as the cutely naive, pretty problematic depictions of inner city Chicago in ADVENTURES! They really are a blast to watch, especially with a group, but we wanted to see if we could wring a little more out of them. Join us as we stir the big ol’ content pot and evaluate what delectable aromas we can express with the power of Discourse!
