The Baby-sitters Club Club

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.

Does Cringer shrink down when he’s not Battle Cat? Will Mary Anne Spier ever overcome her many, many fears? Are the Star Wars prequel films canon? Will Mark Markson and Dave Daveson ever return from the Cauliflower Universe? Will we ever find out what Alan Gray keeps in that weird room of his? Will Jack and Tanner ever get around to discussing the book this week? These questions and many others will not be answered this week. Sorry.

You know what? Mallory really stuck it to the Man this week, and we’re damn proud of her. But while dear, sweet, brave Mal was busy standing up to the (admittedly handsome) Trevor Sandbourne and singlehandedly dismantling the entrenched power structures at SMS, all was not well in the rest of Stoneybrook: Dangerous new knowledge has come to light in the mysterious academic discipline known as Bread Theory; terrifying portents are, well, portended, by The Bird and The Wheelmaker; and the boys had the distinct displeasure of debuting the hottest track to ever light up the charts in the space between worlds – a mind-flaying dirge known to those who love it as “49 Deaths.” And perhaps even more surprising than all of that, Tanner finally learns what a segue is. Or does he? ...

Charlie Thomas has a new girlfriend named Angela, Pamela, Sandra, or Rita, and despite the fact that she’s a Crime Girl, they are only getting sweeter (the trumpet!). Kristy doesn’t like her because she’s a Baseball Idiot (and she’s not the only one in this week’s book). Car crimes are perpetrated against the State of Connecticut, and there’s a hit new Blade (the vampire/vampire hunter) musical coming to Broadway. This one’s for you, Harry Nilsson, wherever you are now. We can’t live… if livin’ is without you.

Parental advisory: There is a lot of kissing talk and smooching talk right up front and there’s honestly no way to avoid it this week because this was a book about kissing and smooching. Claudia kisses and then smooches an annoying but handsome and swoopy-haired boy named Mark Jaffe. The boys kiss the sweet feet of sweet Pete Lerangis (metaphorically speaking). And Claudia’s new friend Josh is kissed by greatness in a star turn as this week’s Baller of the Week. And even if you don’t like kissing or smooching all that much, stick around, because you might just learn what an answering machine is.

Okay, so Jack and Tanner spent a ton of their hard-earned ad revenue on new mics and recorders but then that dunce Jack hit the wrong button and essentially recorded all of this episode and the next one on his laptop mic so it sounds awful BUT there’s still a really solid episode there so try to bear with us. Stacey is a nerd now, the Deep Voice Boys are back with an exciting new role, Jack spends a LONG time perfecting a new character who LOVES smoking drugs and doing 69-ing with people and the Counting Crows get a lot of very special shout outs this week.

This is an urgent message for the Pulitzer Committee: The audio from our original version of Abby’s Twin – which you so kindly singled out as being worthy of your highest honor – has been irreparably lost. But thanks to our precision, our professionalism, and our consummate skill, we have perfectly recreated every note, every beat, every moment of that epoch-defining, award-worthy episode of audio magic and are now humbly presenting that recreation for your consideration. You will not find a word out of place. Kristy’s errors of judgement, Abby’s edgy comedy, Alan Gray’s moment in the sun: It’s all there, along with an exhaustingly comprehensive discussion of the Netflix original movie “Bright,” starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton – just like Ann M. Martin intended when she wrote this novel. Thank you. We love you and we kiss you all.

This week, Jack and Tanner talk about ████ and ████, but then Jack decides to █████ his ████ instead, so Tanner needs to █████ all over the █████. But it's only ███ miles to ████, which ██████ took ██ days to do, but ████ managed to finish in █████. There's also a new ████ in Stoneybrook, and ████ and ████ Tanner and Jack get stuck in segment █████.

In a distant future, in an alternate universe, The Futuresmiths have made a decision that will affect our world, Earth-One, and the mysterious otherworld of the Baby-Sitters Club: They will send Cir-El (Supergirl) back to the present day to set in motion events that will change the multiverse forever. And it is here, in this fateful moment, that we shall find our hosts, immersing themselves in the wisdom of the great Sitters’ Cycle – from the latest news about gentle Mary Anne Spier to the dangerous events surrounding the captivating Alan Grey. From the sleepy town of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, to the storm-swept waters of the Indian ocean. It is here, in this fateful moment, that our story will be told.

Welcome to episode #3 of the new Baby-Sitter’s Club Club podcast, now in the darkest timeline where Claudia is back in the 7th grade, Kristy is only capable of generating bad ideas, Stacey is single, and Jackie Rodowsky is but a boy.

Your two favorite Partywarts™ are standing by this week with an arsenal of jokes, classic memes, and hilarious burns for your amusement. Which is unfortunate, because this was the week that the Baby-Sitters Club has decided to disband, and the girls are barely even on speaking terms, an occasion that calls for mourning, sober analysis, and bitter, inconsolable tears. Say what you want about the BSCC, but you certainly get the full range of emotions here. Also, Jackie’s back! In time!

This week, the boys hearts are broken right alongside Stacey’s because Robert “Hangdoggy” Brewster has betrayed us all. But don’t worry, because they have the warm, open, waiting arms of both the intriguing and enigmatic Ethan AND the familiar, long-haired Pete Black waiting for all of them to “trampoline” into. Also, the boys are feeling a little Suzane in the membWeyn this week, and because of that, it’s an EXTREMELY segment light week, so STRAP IN FOR SOME ANTIQUITY DISCUSSION.
