As Jackie Rodowsky knows all too well, there is an infinity of possible worlds in the great expanse of existence, but even Jackie Rodowsky would tell you – with his birds’ eye view – that every single one of them is aflame right now. And as the great fire spreads, its indifferent tendrils creep towards some very familiar figures: The people of Stoneybrook, who stand arm in arm against the encroaching terror; Ann and her extraordinary ghostwriters, who are helpless to prevent it; and Mary Anne, whose tears have come too late. Also, the boys talk about their favorites from Queer Eye! Music credits: “Beyond the Veil,” by Dreamstate Logic “Fantasy Intro,” by EGProductions “Drama,” by Daniel__St “You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele,” by Squidlord “School Music Video,” by DjHappY “Sadness,” by AudioRose “Sentimental,” by Daniel__St “Polytonal Resonance,” by Dolores Catherino A very special thanks to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the very special intro music this week and to Baby Bee Carys for the Soile

Kristy's trying to organize the BSC to enter a baby-sitting contest from a magazine, but Ann has other plans: To burn it all to the ground. Oh, and Mary Anne's house is alive. And it's calling to her. And no matter what we do to hold it back, the cleansing fire will consume us and transform us. But not before we graduate from Cool School! Welcome to part one of two episodes that will change the course of human history. Music credits: “Beyond the Veil,” by Dreamstate Logic “Dramatic Trailer,” by pwma “Sadness,” by AudioRose “Something Wicked,” by Ross Budgen “Love Potion,” by Fasol Prod “Jazz Sad Hip Hop,” by Black Stone Sound “School Music Video,” by DjHappY “Set Fire to Everybody,” by ca715al1v3 A very special thanks to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the very special intro music this week. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Sike! You thought! Nope! Finale isn’t happening this week. Jack needed an extra week to work on the final episode(s). Instead, you get this special treat! Two preeminent scholars in their field will delight your senses with a complete walkthrough of the infamous Baby-Sitters Club “Hatchet Order.” Join them as they do an exhaustive book-by-book analysis (well, about a quarter of the books before they got bored) of the parallels and resonant melodies between BSC books 1 through 32 and books 100 through 131. Or skip it and come back for The Fire At Mary Anne’s House next week. We’re not here to tell you how to live your life. Music Credits: ”Piano Sonata in B-flat major, III. Allegretto Grazioso” comped by Mozart, performed by Brendan Kinsella “As I Figure” by Kevin MacLeod “Boys” by Charli XCX “Welcome to the Black Parade (Karaoke Version)” originally performed by My Chemical Romance “Welcome Back (Karaoke Version)” originally performed by John Sebastian “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield

Y’all ready for this? Tanner wasn’t, because he lost his notes. But honestly what decent person could truly be prepared to say goodbye to Kristy and leave her to the purging flames that Ann is preparing for the final novel in the Sitters’ Cycle? Only a monster would even ask the question. It’s not all doom and gloom though, because Kristy is as luminescent as ever in this book, bravely taking on Ann’s greatest fear even as her world closes in on her in a cataclysm of supervillains, dinosaurs, and sentient birds. Also, explicit warning: Arm stuff. Music credits: “Dramatic Trailer,” by pwma “Chopstick Slapstick,” by OurMusicBox “Emotional Inspiring,” by MasterBlockbuster Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, to Baby Bee Carys for the Soileau You Into the Dark theme, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wished you could spend 30 full minutes hearing two grown men argue heatedly about the difference between a little sister and a middle sister? Well, if so, you’re in for quite a treat. Karen Brewer has a little sister on this week’s very special Little Sister: Little Episode, and the infuriating paradox that fact creates might just tear these boys apart.

This week the Baby-Sitters Club Club (BSCC) is more like the The Video-Games Club Club (VGCC) because gamer geek Suzanne couldn’t help herself and peppered this entire book with endless references to her favorite imported Japanese video games from the late 1990s. When she’s not going on and on about Crash Team Racing or Rockman, Suzanne did manage to find a few pages to discuss Haley Braddock’s lies, Claudia’s break-up, and DEFINITELY NOT purple orbs. Music Credits: “Action” by Monplaisir “Limitless” by Elektronomia “You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele” by SquidLord Thanks to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music and Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

This one goes out to Boo-Boo. What a life to take. What a bond to break. We’ll all be missing you Boo-Boo, but the show must go on and this week the boys managed to pull themselves together just enough to discuss Abby’s misadventures in love, a new theory of the mysterious Cat People, and the true, official reading order for the BSC series. Also, Bee Theory may be wrong. Happy reading!

There’s a new girl in Riverbend this week named Mallory Pike, and she’s all new! We all know and love our Riverbend Gals: Smee, Jen, Sarah… but who is this enigmatic new Mallory character?! We may never know! Also this week: a bitter farewell to Mark Markson, what Amelia Earhart’s mysterious disappearance means for Mallory, and a hot new segment called the M-M-M-M-MILES MOMENT!

Mallory has left the safe confines of the BSC to become a baby-sitting Ronin and roam the Earth with no master and no mission but her wanderings. The factions have taken full control of Stoneybrook, as witches fight demons and terrible dinosaurs rage and roar in the ghost-riddled streets. To make matters worse, the boys are feuding, driven mad with fear as these books count down to their inevitable fiery end. Meanwhile, the girls are throwing a festive holiday party for the residents of Stoneybrook Manor! All that and more as we approach the heart-pounding conclusion of the great Sitters’ Cycle. “The Army of Minotaur,” by Maki Symphony “Drama,” by Daniel__St “Theme from Loom,” by LucasFilm Games “Don’t Leave Me,” by Lionel Schmitt “Jane’s Lament,” by EMSonora “Love Potion,” by Fasol Prod “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jac

#swoon alert, Baby Nation! There’s a hunky new single dad in Stoneybrook this week, and of course his name is John! Though, you probably know his as J.B. Angel, the spirit of vengeance. There’s also more mean memes than you could have ever possibly wanted, but the boys packed them into the episode regardless!

We’re not trying to tell you how to live your lives, but you’re going to disappoint a lot of people if you refuse to read Infinite Jest, watch Videodrome, and familiarize yourself with all of the great works of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and instead spend your time doing whippets, watching SportsCenter, and throwing big blow-out parties when your parents are away like Claudia Kishi decided to do this week. This one’s for fans of Janine Kishi, aka “The Janenius,” people who think Sense and Sensibility was written in the ‘90s, and anyone who’s ever huffed whipped cream to see what might happen. “Speakeasy,” by Sound Ideas “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music “Throw the Coins,” by Patrick Doyle “Lovely Memories,” by CreativeMedias_net “Without Limits,” by Ross Budgen Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

¡Esta semana los chicos vienen a ti en vivo desde la Ciudad de México! (De acuerdo, no VIVO en vivo, ya que este episodio fue grabado hace unas semanas, pero entiendes lo que quiero decir.) Hay mucho de qué hablar esta semana, incluyendo: el malvado hermano de Emma Frost, Robert Frost, una dinámica nuevo personaje llamado Cary Retlin, y alguna posible infracción de propiedad intelectual por parte de Stephen Chow (llámenos Stephen, si desea hablar sobre la división de honorarios legales).

This weird, surrealistic tableau of a book marks the beginning of Suzanne Weyn's Dada phase. The narrative, such as it is, revolves around Abby and Kristy’s visit to Abby's grandmother on Long Island, which the Cat People have occupied in a new, terrifying phase of their insurgency. Kristy and Mary Anne are up to no good, and the Scholastic lawyers are immersed in their most devious stunt yet. Ben Hobart is back in a big way, the Purple Orb has an army now, and Jack and Tanner have a very, very, very special message for their wives. Curiouser and curiouser! Music credits: “The Verdict,” by 8th Mode “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, to Baby Bee Carys for the Soileau You Into the Dark theme, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, the boys go inside a haunted mansion. Just by chance they freed a ghost who made them Beetleboys. [Frankenbeans: “BEETLEBOYS!”] Big Bad Beetleboys. Big Bad Beetleboys. Hey look now they're super heros, armed with super powers… [Mums: ”Cool!”] ...taken from a comic strip and now they're Beetleboys. [Count Fangula: “BEETLEBOYS!”] Big Bad Beetleboys.

Kristy’s out of the way and busy with her Strawberry Festival and Stacey’s stuck between the two handsome boys in her life, so get ready to Hashtag “Swoon" (this is a new cool thing to say!) over the ever-so-dreamy Ethan, and Hashtag “Speak The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear” (not a thing yet, but hopefully soon!) for Robert “Brewdoggy” Brewster, who is truly going through some stuff this week. If all of that makes you socially anxious, just remember your FORDOW acronym and you can’t go wrong! Unless you’re too far gone with Suzeynity, in which case the best you can probably do is sit back and either wait for the universe to be set upon the Golden Path or lament the ominous return of the Jaquio. Is it just me or is this podcast making less and less sense as we go on?

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. Music Credits: "If I Could Turn Back Time”(Karaoke Version) originally performed by Cher "Rollin’” (Karaoke Version) originally performed by Limp Bizkit "Dead Bee” by bark dog "Overture” by The Lionhearts “Biscuit” by Raven & Kreyn “[1595] Love's Labour's Lost: You that way; we this way” by how the night came Thanks to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music and Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

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.” Music credits: “Sydney’s Lament,” by Piano Horror “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music “Jurassic Park Theme,” by John Williams “You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele,” by Squidlord “A Hero’s Destiny,” by Sergey Gol Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.
