Andy and Alyssa take a detour into R.L. Stine's YA horror and read The Babysitter (1989). They talk toxic masculinity, fetishizations of whiteness, When a Stranger Calls, No Future, phone creeps, lampreys, covering up for murder, being not a girl but not yet a woman, Friday the 13th, Robert Coover, bad bosses, and The Viper. How does The Babysitter compare to the Goosebumps books?
