Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back to Two Cents. We see scary movies, the podcast
- 0:03where we do the washing so you can do the sleeping.
- 0:06You're welcome, cowards. I'm Talon, the one who would
- 0:09have survived because I never would have gotten out of bed to
- 0:12see what the noise was. And I'm here with Christopher,
- 0:14who absolutely would have joined that cult because honestly, free
- 0:18pizza and charismatic ringleader sounds like most of his Friday
- 0:21nights already. This month, we're digging into
- 0:24Grave Humor, our celebration of horror comedies, the movies that
- 0:27make you laugh right up until the moment you realize you
- 0:29really shouldn't be laughing. And we're kicking it off with
- 0:33The Babysitter, a 2017 Netflix film directed by McGee, which is
- 0:37a name that should tell you everything you need to know
- 0:40about the energy of this movie before you even press play.
- 0:43Let's get into it. So we open on Cole, 12 years
- 0:52old, and life is not going well for him.
- 0:54He's anxious, nerdy, gets bullied regularly, and just to
- 0:57really seal his fate socially, still has a babysitter, which at
- 1:0112 is basically a public announcement that you have 0 St.
- 1:04cred. Then enter B&B is well, I mean
- 1:09she's cool, confident, funny, patient.
- 1:12She treats Cole like he actually matters, which immediately puts
- 1:15her above literally everyone else in his life.
- 1:18She stands up to his bully, she builds him up.
- 1:20She talks sci-fi with him. She's basically the human
- 1:22version of This is who you wish you were.
- 1:25And Cole is completely nuts over her.
- 1:28Not a creepy way. Mostly it's there.
- 1:32It's yeah. Mostly is the keyword there.
- 1:36But he definitely in that painfully obviously in that
- 1:40painfully obvious kind of way where it's like if only I were a
- 1:43few years older kind of way. So his parents are leaving for
- 1:47the night and it's just colon B. They hang out, dance, eat junk
- 1:52food, and the movie very intentionally makes you feel
- 1:55warm and safe, like you're watching a coming of age movie
- 1:58instead of a horror movie. Then B tells him it's time for
- 2:02bed because his mom gave me her 10:30 and Cole being 12,
- 2:06immediately decides to spy on her because his neighbor and BFF
- 2:10appropriate age crush. I think she's part of the same
- 2:14age. Melanie tells him babysitters
- 2:17always do adult stuff after the kids go to sleep.
- 2:21So he sneaks downstairs, hides on the steps and watches as
- 2:25Bee's friends show up. Max the jock, Allison the
- 2:29cheerleader. Sonya, who is already giving
- 2:31This, is going to go bad energy. I think it's her.
- 2:34Haircut. Yeah, right.
- 2:36She's got that kind of artsy look to her.
- 2:40Then you have John, who is the funny sidekick who clearly
- 2:43thinks this whole thing is kind of silly and fun.
- 2:45And we have Samuel, who is this nervous, nerdy guy that she that
- 2:50we saw Bee earlier on in the movie, kind of befriend coming
- 2:53out of a store. So they start playing truth or
- 2:55Dare, and for a second, it's exactly what Cole expected.
- 2:59A little scandalous, a little exciting, nothing crazy.
- 3:03Bee is dared to kiss everyone there, and Samuel is the last
- 3:07one she gets to. He is visibly apprehensive.
- 3:11He's very nervous. He's weirded out about everybody
- 3:14staring at them, but she calms them down eventually, gets them
- 3:18to the point where they do kiss. And you can see Cole, and he
- 3:21looks a little devastated by this in a way.
- 3:25I felt like he did. He was like, oh, she's kissing
- 3:27that nerdy guy. She's kissing this nerdy guy,
- 3:30you know? And then B just calmly pulls out
- 3:33two knives and stabs him in the head like just.
- 3:37Hold although yeah, but he stays alive.
- 3:41Yeah, yeah. Well, you don't die, I don't
- 3:43think, until your heart stops pumping blood.
- 3:46So she must have got him just right to where it didn't affect
- 3:49anything that affects the brain to the heart.
- 3:51I don't know. Because he was still talking.
- 3:52He was like, I don't really want to do this anymore.
- 3:54It's like, too late. So she puts those knives in his
- 4:00head. And just like that, we're no
- 4:02longer in a fun coming of age movie.
- 4:05So now Cole has just watched his babysitter murder someone and
- 4:09the group, they barely react. They get these big.
- 4:15Chalices. Chalices, that's what we're
- 4:16looking for. And they both get up when
- 4:18somebody's on one side and someone's on the other.
- 4:20And they're as the blood's coming out, they're collecting
- 4:22the blood. That's the black dude's name in
- 4:23the movie. John Yeah.
- 4:25He was funny but his his side like wasn't working.
- 4:29I'm not getting any and then all of a sudden it gets them.
- 4:32Right all over his face. There was humor there.
- 4:35So they're collecting the blood and they start talking about the
- 4:38ritual and everything that they have to go through and stuff
- 4:41they have to do. And it becomes very clear that
- 4:43this is a satanic cult and they made a deal for success,
- 4:47popularity, whatever it is they wanted.
- 4:50And the price is innocent blood, of course.
- 4:53And I don't know why Samuel's blood is not enough for this
- 4:56ritual. No, it's one is the sacrifice
- 4:59and the other is innocent. Blood.
- 5:01That's right. He was the sacrifice.
- 5:03They still need to collect his blood, but yeah.
- 5:06And then they have to get innocent blood, which means they
- 5:08need Cole's blood. So Cole freaks out a little bit,
- 5:12runs to his room, calls 911, grabs a pocket knife like that's
- 5:16going to do anything helpful. And he hears the gang coming up
- 5:19the stairs, so he jumps into the bed and pretends to be asleep.
- 5:22They take out a needle and draw blood from his vein, and Cole
- 5:26stays surprisingly still because he is deathly afraid of needles
- 5:29along with everything else. So then they, you know, look
- 5:34like they all leave and they go out.
- 5:35So he as soon as they go out and close the door, he jumps up.
- 5:37He grabs his sheets, He ties a rope, sheet rope together,
- 5:42throws it out the window, ties it to the bed.
- 5:43But then he passes out, and when he passes out, you can see off
- 5:47in the corner by the door, Bea is still standing there.
- 5:51She thought something seemed a little suss about because the
- 5:54window was open and she noticed it and she was like, that wasn't
- 5:58open before. Cole wakes up tied to a chair
- 6:01down in the living room. They're all standing around him.
- 6:03They're asking about what he knows.
- 6:05They're trying to convince him it's some kind of science
- 6:07project. Stabbing people in the head is a
- 6:12requirement for science and advanced science, right?
- 6:17Will be like I just yeah, I'd give you my blood dude, right
- 6:20or. Whatever.
- 6:21Right. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:22Like although he had to be sacrificed but I I feel like if
- 6:26she had asked Cole for his blood he would have probably just
- 6:29given it to her to. Be sure yeah, the way the the
- 6:35relationship is set up. Right.
- 6:36Yeah, even though he's afraid of needles because in the very
- 6:39first scene of the whole movie, he's at the.
- 6:41He's in the nurse's office getting a he's.
- 6:43In like the gym? Yeah, well, that was.
- 6:45Weird. Or maybe.
- 6:46No, you're right, it was. Getting a vaccine, Yeah.
- 6:49And he's freaking out about it and he doesn't want to get this.
- 6:52Dude was giving him shit too though.
- 6:53Oh, yeah, yeah. So we know he's because of that
- 6:56setup. We know he's deathly afraid of
- 6:57needles. But I'm sure he would have done
- 6:58it for her, right? I felt like he would have.
- 7:00Yeah, I agree. So then the cops actually show
- 7:04up, which you think that might help?
- 7:07It does not. Max immediately throws a fire
- 7:10poker through one cop's eye and the second cop fires a panic and
- 7:15accidentally shoots Allison in the chest, and instead of that
- 7:19stopping anything, it's somehow just makes everything worse.
- 7:22So B and Max finally killed a second cop, and Max rips the
- 7:27poker out of the first cop's eye to finish him off.
- 7:30And now we're fully in there. No adults coming to fix this
- 7:33situation at all. We're screwed.
- 7:36So they forced Cole to give them the police code to call off
- 7:40backup because the cops had called for backup.
- 7:42And Cole's really smart. He knows a lot of stuff, so he
- 7:45knows all the codes. Apparently he like, wanted to be
- 7:47a cop at some point. Yeah, it's revealed, right?
- 7:50I, I think they skipped that because, like, it came up later.
- 7:54Yeah. About how he knew the codes or
- 7:56whatever. Yeah, yeah.
- 7:57So he knows the codes. He gives them.
- 7:59He finally relents, but he does give them the codes to call off
- 8:01the backup. So then, and I can't remember
- 8:04how he got free from the chair. Oh, they, they so they like
- 8:09caught him with the pocket knife trying to like kind of stuff
- 8:12loose. And they're like, we see you in
- 8:14the mirror. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 8:17Yeah funny but he end up like the football dude.
- 8:19He just like kicks him and he fella.
- 8:22They were gunned up in time until the cops show up.
- 8:24Yeah, so he ends up getting out of the chair.
- 8:28He bolts back upstairs, which I don't know why 'cause the door
- 8:32was right behind him. I feel like this is the second
- 8:35movie in a row where like they're going the wrong way when
- 8:38they're running away. They're every one of these
- 8:41movies. They're going the wrong way.
- 8:42When they're running away, I make them go upstairs.
- 8:44I make mention of it in almost every single movie.
- 8:48So don't. Go out the front door like I'm
- 8:50running. Upstairs to be.
- 8:52Further trapped. I never understand, got it.
- 8:56I mean I realized in order to progress the movie otherwise the
- 8:59movie would probably be over, but still, it's an annoying
- 9:03trope. Drives me crazy.
- 9:05So Cole both upstairs, John chases him, Cole ends up pushing
- 9:09him over the banister, and John lands on a trophy that goes
- 9:11straight through his neck. And that's the moment where Cole
- 9:15kind of realizes, oh I'm killing people now.
- 9:18Shit. Deadly home alone.
- 9:23So Cole escapes out the window and hides under the house in the
- 9:25crawl space, which is already terrifying because it's got
- 9:28spiders and bugs and whatever. Horrible place to go because you
- 9:32have no exit. Again, yeah, nowhere to go.
- 9:35So he's under the house in the crawl space.
- 9:39And of course this is where Cole gets create starts getting
- 9:41creative. He traps Sonia cause Sonia comes
- 9:44in there and she's only a funny haircut and he grabs some bug
- 9:48spray and a firework rocket and basically turns it into a
- 9:51homemade flamethrower explosion extravaganza.
- 9:56And he blows her up, but not the house.
- 9:58The house never catches fire, just her.
- 10:00It's just her. That's a they must have some
- 10:04real good fire protecting under carried part of their.
- 10:08House support beams under. Yeah, it's good stuff.
- 10:12So then Max is next. He's been chasing Cole around
- 10:16kind of around the whole time, and at times he's almost seems
- 10:19like he's trying to be encouraging to Cole because he
- 10:21knows that Cole is kind of a nerd and doesn't have a lot of
- 10:24friends. So he's basically like trying to
- 10:26pump him up, like how to deal with bullies and all that stuff.
- 10:29And he's trying to kill him. At least trying to kill him.
- 10:32Like what do you, what is this going to be used for if you're
- 10:35going to kill me? The dialogue lost me a couple
- 10:37times where like when he tried to have him confront the bully
- 10:42while he was egging the house or.
- 10:43Whatever, Yeah, 'cause he showed up, Yeah.
- 10:45You should stand up for yourself.
- 10:46It's like, but why? Why you're gonna kill me, right?
- 10:52So I think it was just this attempt at, you know, adding
- 10:54humor into it. But it was and it was kind of
- 10:56funny that he was being that way.
- 10:58But so he's trying to be encouraging, but he ultimately
- 11:02chases Cole up into a tree house, which it's just the
- 11:06bottom, the floor of the tree house 'cause they we're taking
- 11:08it down. So the it's only the platform of
- 11:11it. And while they're up there,
- 11:13they're walking around. Stuff happens.
- 11:15He ends up falling. He gets tangled in the rope
- 11:18swing and hangs himself. So now Cole, Cole runs to
- 11:23Melanie's house because she lives right down the street and
- 11:26because, you know, of course, now she's involved.
- 11:28And nothing makes the situation better like dragging your crush
- 11:31into your satanic cult problem. She also seems extremely like
- 11:35unimpressed that. She's very calm, like she's
- 11:39dealt with this before. Oh, people are trying to.
- 11:42Oh, OK. This is my first satanic cult
- 11:44rodeo, so. So he's apologizing to her, of
- 11:50course, Bee shows up. They're kind of running around
- 11:53in circles around the inside downstairs of the house with Bee
- 11:56there. He ends up making it out and he
- 11:59tells her that he's going to take care of everything and she
- 12:03ends up kissing him, which honestly, bad timing, but we'll
- 12:07take the win. So Cole goes back home because
- 12:10at this point, he's not running anymore.
- 12:12He's starting to man up. But inside we have Allison, who
- 12:17has been shot. She was shot by the cop, a
- 12:19cheerleader. I was trying to think.
- 12:21I was like, I swear there's one more.
- 12:23But yeah, she's the cheerleader. She got shot in the breast and
- 12:26she was crying and flipping out that no one's ever going to want
- 12:28to touch her breasts anymore 'cause she's got this hole.
- 12:31She's not worried about guys trying to die.
- 12:33But no one's just going to want to be around her breasts.
- 12:37So she's there and she's kind of walking around the whole time,
- 12:41even though she's been shot. And she tries to kill him with a
- 12:44kitchen knife. Then Bee shows up and just blows
- 12:48Allison's head off with a shotgun.
- 12:50Also confusing in the moment for me.
- 12:54Right. It is a little bit, but at the
- 12:56same time it tells you that Bee has a soft spot for Cole because
- 13:02even after all of this, even before this, you could tell that
- 13:05she really actually liked Cole. She liked hanging out with him.
- 13:09She, you know, thought he was a good person.
- 13:11She liked him. And that's probably why when she
- 13:14got the blood, she didn't want to kill him.
- 13:15Like she could have easily sacrificed him instead of that
- 13:18Samuel guy. But because he's an innocent and
- 13:21a he could be sacrificed. But she obviously didn't want to
- 13:25do that. She wanted to let him live.
- 13:27She just needed his blood, right?
- 13:30So she definitely has a soft spot for him, which is why she
- 13:33shot Allison because Allison was about to kill him.
- 13:36So now it's just colon B. And this is where things slow
- 13:40down a little bit. B explains everything, the deal
- 13:42she made when she was younger with the devil and how she got
- 13:45everything she ever wanted by sacrificing innocent people and
- 13:49spilling their blood on the book.
- 13:50And she's got this huge book. It's like old, that old papyrus
- 13:56paper or whatever. And you know, it's all ornate
- 13:59and crazy looking and very delicate because of its age.
- 14:03And I also think the funny part of, like, everything she ever
- 14:06wanted was to be, like, confident.
- 14:07Yeah. Just like, oh, nice.
- 14:11Definitely worth the lives of others.
- 14:14Through selling your soul, the devil and killing a bunch of
- 14:17people. You just wanted confidence.
- 14:19Be a little fucking confident. And you think at some point,
- 14:22since she's had this confidence for so long and so many people
- 14:26are attracted to her as a friend or whatever, she could just stop
- 14:32and she knows how to be confident now.
- 14:34But it didn't really say like, yeah, it didn't elude that.
- 14:39I felt like for some reason the book was so important 'cause it
- 14:42was like it would end. I mean, I get that, but it's
- 14:46like, why would it end? If you know now how to be
- 14:48confident you have all these friends, Why would it end like
- 14:51you should just do it on your own now?
- 14:52Yeah, the the plot was not super fucking.
- 14:57It wasn't very dense. There wasn't much substance
- 15:01there. Right, so she's gotten
- 15:04everything she wanted by spilling innocent blood on this
- 15:06book. And here's the part that makes
- 15:09it a bit of a bummer. She generally, like I was
- 15:12saying, likes Cole because that part is real.
- 15:15And she offers him a place beside her, like, hey, you can
- 15:20be in this with me. I'll protect you forever.
- 15:24You know, it'll be great. And Cole ultimately chooses
- 15:29himself, And he says no. And he burns.
- 15:32The book ends the ritual. So then he runs, grabs Melanie's
- 15:38dad's car. Now Melanie's dad, who is this
- 15:41probably mid 40s now, newly divorced, probably wasn't very
- 15:46cool, but now thinks he's super cool 'cause he's got this super
- 15:49cool car. It's a big muscle car, he and
- 15:53he, it's pristine. He loves it.
- 15:55You know, it's his baby. So cold sides.
- 15:59I'm going to go grab that car. So he goes and gets the car,
- 16:02drives it back to his house and straight into the house,
- 16:07crashing directly into beat. So then she's laying there on
- 16:11the floor, car's on top of her. But it and that was the thing I
- 16:14noticed. It really wasn't like I swear I
- 16:18saw some like space between the car and her but I was like I'm
- 16:22not not getting into this. I also felt like there was just
- 16:25like a dresser there over the top or like it wasn't really
- 16:28much of anything and apparently it was not.
- 16:31We'll get to that. They're having their final
- 16:33moment between them, and it's weirdly emotional considering
- 16:36everything that just happened. And again, you can see that they
- 16:40both have an affinity for each other and that she does care
- 16:44about him. And then Cole pulls himself out
- 16:47of the wreckage, gets outside. Police and emergency crew show
- 16:50up. The kids that were bullying him
- 16:52earlier, they're there. Two of them are.
- 16:55And then when the main, you know, bully boss shows up, that
- 17:00tells everybody what to do. They're not listening to him.
- 17:04They're like, basically going on and on about how cool Cole is
- 17:07now. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
- 17:10Cole is now cool, cool, cool. And that kids like, what the
- 17:15fuck, guys? Yeah.
- 17:20So then we see his parents come home and of course, they're
- 17:22freaking out and they go up to him and he tells them he doesn't
- 17:25need a babysitter anymore, which, yeah, I think we've
- 17:28established that. And then because we're not
- 17:30allowed to have a clean, nice clean ending, we see that B
- 17:35survives and she attacks a firefighter inside the house
- 17:38like. What?
- 17:39You didn't see the? Did you miss the end?
- 17:44Yeah, that after the credits. I can't remember if it was.
- 17:51I feel like it was in. I feel like it was at the end or
- 17:53was just in the middle of the credits.
- 17:55I did not see that part at all. I can't remember, but yeah, she
- 17:59survives. Well, fuck yeah.
- 18:02No wonder there's a part deal. I'm sitting here like.
- 18:07Yeah, she survives, and she attacks one of the firefighters
- 18:10that walks in. I totally missed that.
- 18:12Yeah, I don't know. Well, damn it.
- 18:15So, you know, so she lives, of course.
- 18:18That's how it always works. And that's why we have a
- 18:20babysitter too, which I just found out today.
- 18:23All right, so that's the end of the movie.
- 18:24That's the movie in a nutshell. What are your thoughts on the
- 18:27movie? So I did not fucking like the
- 18:29movie. Oh, really?
- 18:30I don't know. I.
- 18:32I did find humor in parts of it, but I did realize I I don't like
- 18:38that style movie. Right.
- 18:41And I mean. It was just what it was, right?
- 18:44It was an hour and a half of something to have on TV, right?
- 18:48But I give this my lowest rating so far.
- 18:51Which is. What?
- 18:53How many cents do I get? Anywhere from one to 10 unless
- 18:56it sucks so bad you give it 0, which I've only done that for
- 18:58one movie. I'll give it a one.
- 19:00One cent. Wow, that's.
- 19:02Good. It's your opinion I'll give you
- 19:04all right. One word right now I don't want.
- 19:07I don't want to give it much. I just want to save just in case
- 19:09there's a worse one. Trying to be frugal.
- 19:15So do me a favor and just give me a little bit of what
- 19:19specifically you didn't like about it.
- 19:21I didn't like the lack of structure with like, I mean, I
- 19:26sound so fucking Snooty right now going to be like that.
- 19:30The fucking dialogue didn't make sense.
- 19:32It would just jump around and it just kind of I guess it assumed
- 19:35a lot of stuff as it being like a goofy movie and I but I just I
- 19:42didn't enjoy that part. I thought they were like funny
- 19:45parts where like I could see the humor but then it just skip over
- 19:49to something else and yeah, the whole the the story just was
- 19:57predictable. Right.
- 19:59I reckon it was very easy for me to like, I don't follow stuff in
- 20:02movies, and for me to know exactly how this movie is going
- 20:06to go the whole time, that's just something.
- 20:09Right, it's pretty formulaic I suppose.
- 20:12And I think, I mean, yeah, just overall, it's just wasn't my
- 20:19style movie, right? All right, so I enjoyed the
- 20:22movie. I mean, it wasn't fantastic.
- 20:24It wasn't the best movie ever. It it was exactly what I
- 20:29expected it to be. I did expect I didn't expect the
- 20:34true friendship, though. I thought just seeing the movie
- 20:37in the description, I just thought, oh, she's going to be
- 20:41evil and she's going to try and kill this kid for a sacrifice to
- 20:45Satan and he's gonna do everything he can to get away
- 20:47from it. I did not realize that she was
- 20:50actually gonna be a somewhat likable character.
- 20:52I. No, for sure.
- 20:53She was like, likable. Yeah, I was not expecting her to
- 20:58really actually like the kid and try to keep him alive so she
- 21:02even but still go through with what she was doing.
- 21:04So that part I wasn't expecting. But it is one of those movies
- 21:08where it does make you kind of like the villain.
- 21:13I didn't care about any of the friends that she had with her,
- 21:16but I did like her. She seemed like a really good, I
- 21:19mean, outside of the Satan cult part of it, she was a really
- 21:23good babysitter. Right up until I.
- 21:28Mean she was they they had fun they were dancing they were
- 21:32cooking dinner together and talking about their sci-fi top
- 21:36five list for some scenario. I mean, she was really into it
- 21:39wasn't like she was like, OK kid, go away.
- 21:41I'm going to be on my phone or right, you know, the whole time.
- 21:44I'm. Hearing on that aspect,
- 21:46fantastic baby sitter. Yeah, she's a great baby sitter.
- 21:50Then she gave him some liquor and the same.
- 21:55Thing they brushed over like they're just having innocent
- 21:57funs like here, have a shot. Yeah.
- 22:04He's like, what do I do with this shot?
- 22:05But yeah, so it ended up being one of those villains that you
- 22:10actually have some affinity for that you like.
- 22:13So I did like, kind of like that.
- 22:15It did have some funny parts. Some of it was a little over the
- 22:17top, which I think was on purpose.
- 22:20But like so it reminded me, 'cause I don't see too many of
- 22:23these summers, but like the Evil Dead, how some of the gore is
- 22:26just extra. Right.
- 22:29That's what it reminded me of. Yeah, 'cause he Evil Dead has
- 22:32that humorous. Like over the top.
- 22:34Over the top yeah thing. So I saw that.
- 22:37Right. So yeah, I I enjoyed it for what
- 22:41it was. I mean, it wasn't again, like
- 22:43some major masterpiece. I liked the acting.
- 22:47The acting was good and it was their relationship was
- 22:52believable to me. Like they they're again, they're
- 22:55liking of each other. It.
- 22:57She did a really good job of, you know, I did like the part
- 23:00where she, you know, put the bully in his place at the
- 23:02beginning and then stabbed his bicycle tire 'cause, you know,
- 23:04he's just riding around his bike.
- 23:07But I would give it six cents. That's a lot I know because it
- 23:15is it. It's kind of a fun movie.
- 23:17It's like, you know, it's like watching Home Alone but with
- 23:22blood and guts, so. But home alone is many more
- 23:28sense to me. Right, right.
- 23:30But it's still kind of got the same feel to it, right?
- 23:34The vibe is the same. So, and now I'm kind of
- 23:36interested to see what the second one is just for shits and
- 23:39giggles 'cause I'm like, he destroyed the book.
- 23:42So that's the other thing that tells me that I didn't like this
- 23:44movie because I'm not watching the second one.
- 23:47I don't care. I don't care what he.
- 23:49Does and how old is the kid like and and the whole part?
- 23:53Old. The whole purpose of the movie
- 23:56though, because, and she did do this because this is something
- 23:58else that I kind of liked. She everybody kind of wanted
- 24:01this kid to man up and like something afraid of everything,
- 24:04stand up for yourself, have more confidence.
- 24:07And she was really wanting to help him do that.
- 24:10And in a very roundabout way she did ultimately, because he had
- 24:15to do all of this stuff to survive this whole satanic cult
- 24:18situation. And he ended up becoming this,
- 24:21you know, John McClain, 12 year old version of John McClain or
- 24:26whatever, you know, with the car crashing in and he's all
- 24:29confident and doing all this stuff and he's telling his
- 24:31parents no more babysitters, you know, so he I did like that too.
- 24:37And but I'm like, the whole premise of this movie was that
- 24:42he was kind of this wimpy kid who had this really cool, strong
- 24:45babysitter that he ends up having to fight through all this
- 24:50stuff and then he gains confidence.
- 24:52What could possibly be the second babysitter movie?
- 24:55What could that be about? So now I'm curious.
- 24:57And there's no book because he burned it so.
- 25:01But she's still alive. Yeah, she's still alive.
- 25:04I I'd even look to see if she was in the second one.
- 25:06He is but I'd even look to see if she was.
- 25:09But I'm like and I think it's called like Demon Queen or.
- 25:12Yeah, something like that. Something like that or.
- 25:14Or from Queen. I could be wrong, yeah.
- 25:18So maybe there's a demon, maybe there's a baby.
- 25:21Maybe the premise is different. The babysitter doesn't have a
- 25:23isn't a part of a satanic cult doing satanic rituals.
- 25:25Maybe she's just possessed by a demon.
- 25:29Killer Queen. Killer Queen.
- 25:30OK. Yeah, she's in there.
- 25:33Is that the? Same one.
- 25:34Her name is Samara Weaver. Is that?
- 25:38Yeah, that's the one weaving. Weaving.
- 25:40She's in there. What the heck?
- 25:43Yeah, I'm going to have to watch it just so I want to know, like.
- 25:46What, the black dudes back in there too?
- 25:48All of them are in there. Wait, all the Are you looking at
- 25:51the right movie? Yeah, I, I, yeah, I double
- 25:56checked myself. There's a couple new people, but
- 25:57yeah. So the Jason or John, I mean the
- 26:02the black kid had the blood all spewing in his face.
- 26:05He's back in there. That's what it says.
- 26:06Is what's her name back in there the cheerleader?
- 26:09What's her name? What's her name?
- 26:12I don't see that one. I see the girl with the weird
- 26:14haircut, the football dude, black dude.
- 26:19That's weird, how the hell are you bringing them back?
- 26:21Does she summon them from the dead?
- 26:23Maybe it's like flashbacks or something.
- 26:25Oh, maybe I'm curious. I gotta know.
- 26:29I gotta know. What the heck?
- 26:30Allison was the boob lady. Yeah.
- 26:34Yeah, she's in that. Oh, so I got the same cast
- 26:37basically. That's weird.
- 26:40Yeah, I'm curious. Like I'm gonna have to find that
- 26:41out. I'll have to watch it sometime
- 26:43this week. The dude looks a lot old.
- 26:45So I did find out something interesting.
- 26:47I was looking at trivia and most of it was boring to be a
- 26:51straight up. But the one thing I found out it
- 26:54was supposed to be like a regular movie.
- 26:56It was made in 2014 and Netflix bought it before it was like
- 27:00released or something so they didn't put it through on Netflix
- 27:03until like. 2017, yeah. Right, right, right.
- 27:07So like 3 years from when it was starting to be made to them,
- 27:10right. And then they make this new one.
- 27:12So I could see how the age gap could be because the dude looks
- 27:15like a lot older now. Right.
- 27:18Yeah. So maybe something there?
- 27:20And I don't think, and this was only on Netflix, like I don't
- 27:22think it had a theatrical release.
- 27:24Correct. Yes, ma'am.
- 27:26Yeah. All right.
- 27:27Well, is there anything else you would like to add to this
- 27:31discussion? I just hope next week's movie is
- 27:34better, isn't? Of course it is.
- 27:36So I've seen that movie next week but I don't remember it.
- 27:39It's such a good movie. I love this movie.
- 27:43And that's the babysitter proof that the most dangerous thing
- 27:45about hiring a hot babysitter is not whether she invites her
- 27:48boyfriend over for some adult time, but rather the very real
- 27:52possibility that she has made a deal with the devil and your
- 27:54blood is part of the terms. Thanks for listening to two
- 27:58cents. We see scary movies.
- 27:59This is a This is Brave Humor month and next week we are
- 28:02heading to the woods for Tucker and Dale Versus Evil, a movie
- 28:06that asks the age-old question. One of the hillbillies were just
- 28:09trying to have a nice vacation and everyone kept dying on them.
- 28:13If you want to watch along, it's available on Hulu and Disney.
- 28:16We'll have the details in the show notes.
- 28:18Until next time, be scared, be prepared and don't get caught in
- 28:22the dark.
