Strange Bedfellows

This week, the boys are brimming with DINOSAUR ENERGY, which was introduced to the sitterverse by a new character named Deb Cooper, who has more in common with The Golden Bear’s depiction of the Joker in 1989’s The Batman than anyone has any right to. Also, Watson adopts a seeing-eye dong, Ben Hobart returns, Jack hurts his hand, and there’s a lot of fretting over acute angle-closure glaucoma, because where we’re going… we won’t need eyes.

Tune in for a hearty, rollicking discussion about Kristy and Mallory’s preparations for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Jackie Rodowsky’s latest shenanigans, and the impending dinosaur threat in Stoneybrook, and then stick around to hear how the boys deftly navigate around and steer almost completely clear of the nasty, fetid, vile, miserable little secret that undergirds it all and rots it from within! Also, a long awaited update in the Wandering Frog People game we’re all playing! And some light, intellectual analysis of the classic film “Summer Catch.”

A very good boy returns to Stoneybrook this week, and the boys could not be more excited to welcome them back. But don’t get out the streamers and cake and other party supplies yet, because before this episode is over, Ann and Nola are going to snatch our old friend away again and banish them from the sitterverse once more. Are you next? Maybe. Also, there was something moving around in Tanner’s office this week and it gets very spooky, but as far as I know, he survived the evening, so we should be okay there.

It’s the crossover episode everyone’s been waiting for – the boys welcome Kristin Russo from Buffering the Vampire Slayer to talk about the demon Logan Bruno, whether Stoneybrook is built on a hellmouth, and Tanner’s favorite Buffy character, Gilbert. Meanwhile, the baby-sitters have lost yet another charge, Alan Gray is completely out of control, and new facts emerge about Kristy’s dad in the most mysterious BSC mystery yet.

Tanner is back in New York, but he’s not the only one. Jessi Ramsay has somehow escaped Ann’s grasp and fled to New York City, where she’s been offered entrance into a prestigious ballet academy. But Jessi and Tanner aren’t the only ones in New York City because, who’s that? Award-winning actor Liam Neeson?! Wow. What a get.

Who could have imagined, when we started this little podcast about the hit 1990 LucasArts PC game “Loom,” that we’d still have stuff to talk about 117 episodes deep. But here we are! This week, we’ve got some practical business tips for dragons, plenty of material on the great Elf war, and, weirdly, a surprisingly robust discussion of a novel about a baby-sitter named Mary Anne Spier. Trust us, there’s a connection there. We think!

“‘Two boys… two grades… how will Claudia ever decide?’ –Hodges Soileau” –Jack Shepherd

Claudia’s got a choice to make this week, and it’s not just between two boys, but also two grades! This is episode two of two recorded in Jack’s Brooklyn Airbnb, and after recording last week’s episode, drinking several beers, and eating their fill of vegan Chinese food, things get a little bit silly.

The boys are face to face this week to bring their impressive and nuanced understanding of military tactics and history to the circumstances of the great “Sisty War”™ between Shannon Kilbourne and her sisters. And since this is an Ellen Miles book, the mystical revelations contained in its pages go far beyond the Good Clean Baby-Sitting Fun in the A-plot, or the cool pronouncements of Pete Black in the B-plot. In fact, Ellen has seen fit to reveal something long coveted by students of the Sitters’ Cycle: The very location of the portal to Stoneybrook itself. And it’s not where you’d expect it to be ...

There’s a new girl in town, and despite her numerous similarities to Tanner, she may be one of the most dynamic and engaging characters to ever move to Stoneybrook. Is she tall? Yes. Does she wear glasses? You bet. Does she exclusively wear pink jumpsuits? Yep! Can she move things with her mind? Maybe. Does she go on a destructive rampage after a bucket of pig’s blood is dumped on her at prom, ending with a conflagration of SMS and everyone inside of it? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out.

One day in 1999, a man named Bill Bannerman and the five members of a soon-to-be-VERY-famous pop punk outfit sat in a basement room with a dogeared copy of a little book called "Abby the Bad Sport." What they discovered in that tome would be the stuff of legend. Listen in as your favorite podcast boys recreate that heady conversation, delving into Abby’s rotten attitude, Shannon Kilbourne’s confusing extracurricular activities, Jackie Rodowsky’s travels through the universe, and Claudia Kishi’s most daring outfit yet. And to make matters even more fascinating this week, Tanner loses a battle with peanut butter, and Jack learns how to do a knock-knock joke, so there’s plenty of good stuff to balance out Abby’s shoddy behavior.
