The Baby-sitters Club Club

It's something a little bit different this week, as the boys bring on music writer Matthew Perpetua to talk about the iconic soundtrack of the 1992 Cameron Crowe film "Singles" and do a little light roleplay about everyone's favorite time-traveling movie critic from the dystopian future. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music! Find Matthew on Substack and listen to Jack's appearance on Fluxpod here.

"Snow exposes complacently a complete ignorance," says F.R. Leavis in his 1962 lecture on C.P. Snow's "Two Cultures." "The judgement I have to come out with is that not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be." The boys discuss this devastating moment in literary history and also enjoy a bit of banter about how handsome Hugh Grant is in this movie we watched.

If you went back into the past before your cat was born, would you come back to an entirely different cat?! Is this movie sweet and funny and uplifting or ... devastatingly sad?

We’re joined by Marissa Flaxbart this week and she brought a scintillating piece of literature along with her to discuss: Star Wars “Rogue One!” Sorry, I'm just learning that it was Evie Dunmore’s “A Rogue of One's Own” we discussed and not Star Wars at all. The book had all the hallmarks of a great romance: spider sex, abandoned values, and large, non-iridescent genitals. What more could you possibly want from us?

Everyone likes cooking shows but what if they were even steamier ... BECAUSE OF LOVE-MAKING?!!! It's a question we've all asked ourselves, but only one person had the talent and the vision to make it come true.

The era of silent podcasting is over, so you can finally hear our beautiful singing voices — and what a perfect movie to debut them with.

This movie has everything: Meryl, Remington Steele, Mr. Darcy, Dad from Thor, and — somewhat confusingly — a big, fat Greek wedding. But as perfect as it is, that doesn't mean the boys can't find a way to improve on it ... if they can only find someone with the capital to make their musical dreams a reality.

In the Year of Our Lord 2002, it was decreed throughout the land that every man, woman, and child of sound health and mind should — on a day of their choosing — go unto the theatre and bear witness with their own eyes to the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Now, 20 years after this beautiful display of international solidarity, the mandate has been long abandoned. But some few still remember. We remember.

Two films about some guys, some pitches, and a love affair with a nice lady and 11 or more sports boys who are based between 2 and 60 miles south of Cambridge. Other than that, they're actually quite different, so it's EXTREMELY important that you watch them in the correct order.

It's almost impossible to imagine a more perfect concept for a film than a completely feral Nicolas Cage yelling a lot and then falling in love with Cher. The boys discuss this '80s classic and try with very limited success to remember what Little Red Riding Hood is about.

This week, a movie that asks a question that's been on everybody's mind since the Elizabethan times: What if Shakespeare fell in love with Goop, from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop? The boys endeavor to answer this while keeping the conversation high-mindedly focused on the underdiscussed influence of Jacobean Revenge Tragedy on modern cinema.

If you can't see without your glasses, put them on now because you're going to want to be fully present for our discussion of this absolutely bee-yutifal movie about two sweet kids, at least 50 percent of whom will live through the summer of 1972 to see Nixon's reelection. There's also a very nice poem in this one.
