The Baby-sitters Club Club

Coven-up, team! Witches are real, and it's time for us to find our very own Amas Veritas! Just pray that your one true love is not Mark Feuerstein, because that dude is going to get merc'd so hard, and it's going to be entirely our faults. The scintillating Summer of Sandra continues with a pitcher of Midnight Margaritas ... and a whole lot of Practical Magic!

Eighteenth-century British novelist Daniel Defoe stars in this scintillating sequel to the hit movie "Speed," in which they cut all the good parts out of "Speed" and added some leeches. This week, we're focus-grouping what people want out of the movie, be-bettering a blurb, and adding a much-needed exploding tanker ship to the sensational Summer of Sandra!

Grab a pen, a bikini, and an FBI badge, because we're all going undercover this week to catch a killer at the big beauty pageant! If we can figure out how to fill out these applications, that is. Also, there's a bee in the studio and it's trying to put an end to the Summer of Sandra. Please send help!

Get out your modems, your IBM 701 laptop with the butterfly keyboard, and ... unfortunately, your hankies, because we're going to be doing an equal amount of l33t haxoring and ugly crying today.

The epic #SummerOfSandra continues with a heartwarming, hilarious love story for the ages — starring our heroine and the Green Lantern himself — that some people who will remain nameless are too pigheaded and uncultured to properly appreciate. With Betty White. And Oscar. Don't forget to use the hashtag #Meatballs!

Pop Quiz, Hotshots: How many buses explode in the movie "Speed," starring Sandra Bullock, Keāno, and Dennis Hopper from "Speed"? We'll do our best to answer, but we're pretty busy trying to keep this podcast humming along at just over 50 miles an hour, because if we slow down for even a second, things could go horribly, horribly ...

It's Boyzone/Dadzone this week, and it's also the exciting premiere of a brand-new content block called Summer of Sandra! Whether you're listening for the spectacular #SummerOfSandra snippets or the neat and nifty #NeedForSpeed nuggets, there's plenty here for everyone, so strap in! Also, Tanner apparently doesn't know what Sleeping Beauty is. Music credits: "Summer Sport Rock," by 331 Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

Hugh Grant's Vernal Dance comes to a scintillating conclusion thanks to the incredible musical talents of guest Jared Sosa and the once-in-a-generation lyrical genius of your boys, Jack and Tanner. Did we fall in love while creating this soon-to-be-smash-hit single for you? Did we reveal breathtaking new information about the secret lives of two deeply beloved, fan-favorite characters? Should you, too, watch the mostly forgotten 2007 Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore vehicle, "Music and Lyrics"? Yes, yes, and hell yes.

We dodged a real bullet this week (well, not Tanner—he was killed by his Looper closing the loop) when we DIDN’T watch 1995’s “Nine Months” and instead watched 2002’s “Two Week Notice” during the continuing frenzied mania that is Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance (#HGVD). But that’s not our ONLY viral cause this week, because our intrepid young investigators—Tyson Lamborghini and Stryker Marshall—have blown the lid right off the insidious conspiracy to withhold famous actor and personal friend of the show Mark Feuerstein from appearing in this film. #ReleaseTheFeuersteinCut --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Hailed as the “Superman: Dawn of Justice” of its day, our film this week was the first to unite three separate cinematic universes in one story-telling masterpiece. Never before, and to the day of this being written never again since, has a film DARED to invite the “City of Angels” AND the “Little Nicky” narrative universes into its OWN overarching cinematic superuniverse. Really incredible stuff. The film, of course, is 1999’s “Notting Hill.” Part of our “Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance” celebration.

It’s more role-playing than not this week as we discuss this classic "squeakuel" to "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and try to perfect our Owen Wilson impressions, which somehow get worse by the end of the episode. But you know what they always say: "Size matters, but in the spy world, it’s reversed!" Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

We're taking another week off this week, as some of us attempt to herd some cats onto an airplane, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week! In this special one-off episode, Dan Brown scholars and archivists Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring collaborate to painstakingly recreate the first chapter "The Da Vinci Code" for posterity. This astonishing oral history will be part of the living memory of our culture for as long as humans tell stories to one another, and as an act of public service for a world community that hungers to collectively remember this vital text, it is unparalleled.

We're taking another week off this week, as some of us persist in trying to move across the country, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week to talk about either Music and Lyrics or Wedding Crashers! Five years ago, two men made a solemn promise: They would tell the story of Agent Associate Baby-Sitter Shannon Kilbourne the way Ann M. Martin always intended it to be told. Almost immediately, one of those men fully delivered on that promise, but literally no one noticed, primarily because of an almost overwhelming lack of interest from the other man. But now, in full technicolor, you can finally hear the breathtaking tale of danger and intrigue known in Baby-Sitters Club-associated circles as "A Time to Kilbourne."

"Stop all the clocks! It's time for Four Weddings and, well ... there's really no great way of saying this but ... unfortunately there is also a Funeral. It comes as rather a surprise right in the middle of one of the weddings. Yeesh. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

We're taking another week off this week, as some of us persist in trying to move across the country, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week to talk about Four Weddings and, unfortunately, a Funeral! A wonderfully surreal and slightly scary world awaits all those who are brave enough to crawl through the looking glass, speak their own secret names aloud, and become new initiates of the legendary Baby-Sitters Club. But this is just the beginning of the quest, and danger awaits: Will the boys be confounded by the deadly Puzzle Box, disoriented by the mysterious Map Game, or debilitated by the incessant ringing of Claudia’s terrible telephone? Answers: Yes, yes, and yes. Fortunately, these guys are professional gamers, so there’s probably no need to worry.

This week, the boys summon a large and sexy genie from a lamp and try to get a smooch, just like in the movie "Three Thousand Years of Longing," from the same brilliant mind that brought you "Babe 2: Pig in the City." Like the film, it's good, clean genie-summoning fun, and the genie is really surprisingly large! AI voices created with ElevenLabs. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

We're taking another week off this week, while some of us try to move, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week to talk about Tilda Swinton and a giant Idris Elba genie in "3000 Years of Longing"! In 1992, the brilliant but reclusive game designer Milton Bradley created what was to become his masterpiece, a game so compelling and so dangerous that few have ever dared to play it. Nearly 30 years later, two of the world's foremost Baby-Sitters Club experts sat down with an accomplished, brave, and highly credentialed Dungeon Master to immerse themselves in Bradley's legendary role-playing experience. This is their story. Prepare yourselves for an epic, shocking, and occasionally quite sexy adventure in the magical, mysterious world of The Baby-Sitters Club Mystery Board Game.
