Episode Overview

This episode of Pod Meets World reunites hosts Danielle, Will (Will Friedle), and Rider (joined here by Sabrina Bryan and Sabrina Carpenter) as they take a nostalgic and critical look at the 2016 Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) Adventures in Babysitting—a reimagining of the 1987 classic film. The gang discusses the movie’s differences and similarities to the original, behind-the-scenes context, industry insights, and of course, plenty of tangents about babysitting, 90s nostalgia, and the ever-relevant challenge of reboots.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Babysitting, Parenting, and Childhood Mayhem (02:44–07:34)

  • Sabrina Bryan describes the event as “very much like a family reunion vibe.” (15:01)

• Casting Gambits and False Starts:

  • Early iterations included Raven-Symoné and (rumored) Miley Cyrus before settling on Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson (16:25–16:52).

Movie Analysis: Plot, Casting, and Execution (22:13–47:14)

The Good

• Lead Chemistry: “Hands down, love the two of them together. Need more of these two girls together working.” – Sabrina Bryan (22:23)

• Pop Star Power:
  • Discussion on the stardom trajectory of Sabrina Carpenter (Girl Meets World alum, Grammy winner, pop sensation) and Sofia Carson (Descendants franchise, UNICEF work) (26:13–28:13).

  • “You are exhausted by the time this movie’s over.” – Sabrina Carpenter (87:40)

• Villain Problems:

  • The incompetent “bad guys” chasing a rare purple ferret diminish the stakes; hosts longed for more substantial threat and coherence.
  • “I would have made it more of an actual threat than trying to chase a purple ferret with these kind of wacky, bumbling guys.” – Will (24:03)

• Target Audience Drifting Younger:

  • Bumbling villains and slapstick shift age demographic lower than what leads’ talents might have reached (24:40–24:54).

• Nods to the Original: Several moments pay homage, such as the infamous “don’t mess with the babysitter” line (100:02), rap battle in place of the original’s blues scene (81:20), and the babysitter being interrupted by various disasters.
• Critical Recap: Hosts often question the logic—the oddity of the sapphire ferret, unlikable baddies, and overcomplicated dual-family subplot—while enjoying the energy and charisma of its stars.

Reviews, Ratings, and Gags (107:26–115:31)

• Internet Review Roundup:
  • “This was disrespectful. Bad actors, horrible camera quality, cheap environments, cliche, annoying characters, crappy soundtrack. Grade A hash.” – Thunder King 6, 1-star review (107:37)
  • “Really good movie...I really look forward to watching this movie again very soon. I just can’t wait for that moment.” – Naijuko, 5-star review (108:12)

---

Final Ratings & Reflections (112:40–115:31)

• Will’s Score: “A solid 6.5 to a soft 7 [out of 10 floozy Dominiques]. I don’t think that’s being generous or harsh.” (113:40)
• Sabrina Bryan’s Score: “Would have given it an 8 if the leads sang together; instead, a 7. Both are phenomenal, but a rap battle wasn’t enough.” (115:11)
• Overall Verdict:
  • Fun, energetic, and a great showcase for its leads, but too frenetic, overstuffed, and tame compared to the original.
  • The nostalgia factor and star chemistry make it enjoyable for fans, if not a great film in itself.

[Will Friedle]

Did you babysit when you were growing up?

[Sabrina Bryan]

No.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Me neither. Thank you, God.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Ah. And. But I will tell you, I've made up it on the other side because I got babysitters. I have a Rolodex of girls.

[Will Friedle]

Well, see, I want to get into that, because I want. Wait, is it just girls? You have no dudes?

[Sabrina Bryan]

No dudes.

[Will Friedle]

You wouldn't want a dude babysitter?

[Sabrina Bryan]

No.

[Will Friedle]

Really?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Not unless, like. Unless it was somebody who I met. I guess that. That's just not. I honestly don't know any of the. The boys.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Nobody does it right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

That. That are around me or whatever my girls are. It's mainly my dancers. My. I've got.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh, right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

School girls.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You have access to tons of babysitters, Essentially, yes.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So that's really. I don't have to search out. I think if I ever did, like, a. A sitter, like, app or online, like, I would probably look at dudes, at males as well.

[Will Friedle]

But, like, yeah, somebody's got to teach them how to fight and spit and roll joints. And, I mean, there's.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, I think it would be. To me, I think it'd be great for, like, someone to be able to handle Ledger a little bit better. He's just. Shockingly.

[Will Friedle]

Is he really with babysitters or with everybody?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Let me tell you this. For Cinco de Mayo, I took my kids out. Jordan was at the golfing range, so he was gonna meet us there. Once I. Once Monroe got done with dance, we picked up Ledger, and we were going out to, you know, a restaurant to go enjoy Cico de Mayo. And Jordan went to the wrong restaurant. And so he was later than even, like, you know, coming and meeting us. And I called him and was, like, furious. He's like, it's like, five minutes, babe. Like, why are you so upset? I'm like, well, you need to go and go to the grocery store now. Because I just turned my head for five seconds, and Ledger took the crayons that he was given to play on the little coloring thing and turned to the wall and just covered crayons. The entire wall with crayon. He just sat there, and it was so fast, Will. It wasn't even just, like, a little bit. It was everything. So I'm like, you have to go to Ralph's that's across the street now and go get the only thing that will work, because water skin you got to go get the magic erasers.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They work like a charm.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They work so well. And I'm like, that's the only thing that's going to work, so you have to go get one. And he's just like, you're kidding me. He's like, well, what were you doing? And I'm, like, literally sitting right next to him, playing with Monroe, helping her color. She want to play tic tac toe. So I'm playing three games of tic tac toe, which takes all of 30 seconds, right?

[Will Friedle]

It does.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Just whoop her ass three times real quick.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I'm glad you beat her good.

[Will Friedle]

That's how you learn, kid.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And I turned over, and Ledger had just, like, given me my karma so quickly.

[Will Friedle]

I was gonna say. So let me understand this. You were watching Ledger as he painted

[Sabrina Carpenter]

on the wall because you were trying to beat your daughter at tic tac toe.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It doesn't take much, man. She's five, right? Every time, you know, you start you right here, you hit the corner. Okay, Monroe, no, you start the middle. We start the middle, but then the corner's the next. And she never does that. She goes right above it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And you haven't taught her that yet because you like to win.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'm trying to teach her. She doesn't remember anyway. And he just goes. And like, Ledger just like, I, I. He had a sitter last night. And I literally was like, he's just. You can't. You can't.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Don't take your eyes off. Yeah, right. Don't take your eyes off.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like, he's already. He just ruined my couch with Monroe's lip gloss, like, painted all over it. You've got to watch him. And she's like, okay. And I'm like, no, like, you have to watch it. You can't. Whatever Monroe's doing, she's fine. She's an angel. She won't do anything bad. She won't do anything to get in trouble. Cause she hates being in trouble. This guy. 0f's.

[Diego]

Oh, my God.

[Will Friedle]

Well, I have a question, because I don't have kids. Don't they just make bigger crates? Can't you just crate a kid like you would a dog?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Does that not work for his sleep time? He is in one of those little tents.

[Will Friedle]

Well, there you go. Put him in a crate.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But you can do that all day?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Sure you can.

[Will Friedle]

That's how they learn.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh, no.

[Will Friedle]

Chuck some food in there.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They're fine. If he doesn't get his energy out, he'll never go to Sleep. He's got so much energy. But when I tell you, though, like, watching him, he's so funny. And our producers, Tara, Lisa, and Michaela got to see him firsthand, and they're like, wow, sorry, guys. He won't come to anything again.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

That's great. He's a handful. Love it.

[Sabrina Bryan]

He's so funny, though. He's hilarious.

[Will Friedle]

And you love them.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Just let them go and you're like, love them. Yeah. He'll be someone else's. He'll be someone's husband one day.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. Well, you're. Once again, as I always say, you're

[Sabrina Carpenter]

really selling kids on me. And maybe I'm.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, you are not in the market, so it's fine.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You don't want anything to do with

[Sabrina Bryan]

it, so it's fine. I don't mind being honest with you. With my friends that are still thinking about it, I'm like, oh, he's so funny and easy.

[Will Friedle]

Cor. Nice. Good.

[Sabrina Bryan]

He's cute. Look how adorable he is. Ah, stop, stop, stop.

[Will Friedle]

That's how. It's always how it is. Yeah. Susan's actually out at the grocery store

[Sabrina Carpenter]

right now getting magic erasers because I was coloring all over the wall.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh, yeah. See?

[Will Friedle]

It happens.

[Sabrina Bryan]

He loves kids.

[Will Friedle]

She does. She's got one. Welcome to Probably.

[Freddie Prinze Jr.]

She does.

[Will Friedle]

Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs and your popcorn and go back to a time when all the houses were smart. The wave tsunamis, and the crayons could

[Sabrina Carpenter]

just be taken off with soap and water. But not anymore.

[Will Friedle]

They've changed it. It's totally different. I'm Will Friedle.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And I'm Sabrina Bryan.

[Will Friedle]

Well, last week we time traveled to 1989 for the Blockbuster that was Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and we loved it. But now we're going back a little further to 1987, but only for inspiration, because on this episode, we're looking into the 2016, technically, sequel, technically reimagining. Technically just using the title Adventures in Babysitting.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And I'm gonna tell you, going into

[Will Friedle]

this movie, Sabrina, I was not happy because this is one of my favorites of all time. Elizabeth Shue is my forever cr. In love with her. This movie was incredible. It was one of the movies that I watched on repeat growing up.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So I was like, ooh, right?

[Will Friedle]

Have you seen the original one?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes, but this is the thing. While I was watching this new one, Adventures of Babysitting, I remember being at the premiere going, maybe. I don't remember the first one, because I thought it was going to be a remake.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Right?

[Sabrina Bryan]

That's what I went into thinking. It was really.

[Will Friedle]

They pulled certain things from it. They pulled even direct lines from it. But they had to Disney fy it down. They tried to keep some of the tropes the same with some of the crushes and the stuff going on there.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't know the movie as much as you and I know.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh, God, I could do it.

[Will Friedle]

I don't quote it backwards.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Forwards.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I was worried about this movie for you because I'm like, this is a big one for Will.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, this was tough, but we'll see.

[Will Friedle]

So, yeah, the original film was directed

[Sabrina Carpenter]

by none other than Chris Columbus and starred a young Elizabeth Shue coming right off of the Karate Kid, which is perfection in a character. And I. I just.

[Will Friedle]

To this day, every time I see her, I'm.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's this insta crush. My wife knows, too, and it's. What's so funny is my older brother Gary's the same way. And we'll often fight where I'll be like, God, I have such a crush on Elizabeth Shoe. And he's like, no, she's mine. And it's like that. So just hugely important in my childhood.

[Will Friedle]

And movies like this or, you know, the original adventures of babysitting were one of the reasons. So some fun facts about the original. It also stars a great guy who I've known for many, many years.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I ran into again at a convention not that long ago, and we sat, we talked for hours.

[Will Friedle]

Keith Coogan, his first of two movies about babysitting.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Both are awesome.

[Will Friedle]

His second was Don't Tell mom, the

[Sabrina Bryan]

Babysitter's Day, which was mine.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Thank you.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You're not allowed to have that one. You can't have both.

[Will Friedle]

Fair enough.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I will take adventure to babysitting that movie.

[Sabrina Bryan]

The fashion, the apple gate, shooting out the plates. Finest.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The dishes are done. Man. That was Keith Coogan.

[Will Friedle]

He's the best. He was also the grandson of former child actor Jackie Coogan, for which the

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Coogan Law is named.

[Will Friedle]

So I don't know if anybody out there is aware of what the Coogan Law is, but the Coogan Law essentially says that there were so many child

[Sabrina Carpenter]

actors that earned so much money that was then stolen by adults and by their parents.

[Will Friedle]

Jackie Coogan lost a fortune to his parents. The Coogan Law is at least, and I think it's now 25% of an

[Sabrina Carpenter]

under 18 actors money or entertainer's money has to be put in a bank

[Will Friedle]

and invested I personally think it should be flipped. I think it should be 75%. Should be 75 to the.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

To the actor themselves.

[Will Friedle]

And 25% the parents get to use

[Sabrina Carpenter]

as they want, but they got 25%. But take that to your trivia night. So Keith Coogan is one of the reasons. Yes.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So. So important. So important.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

God, yes.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And I mean it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Many a life was destroyed by a bad actor.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You don't really necessarily understand. But I wasn't raised in a house where my parents. All of my money went into a bank. Like, I got to spend. I got to get like one big fun toy or go on like a shopping spree type thing, get some clothes, whatever. But most of mine did. But that is not the way a good amount of actors when they're younger.

[Will Friedle]

And again, I get there. There is a flip side to it,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

which I understand, which is why I think the set, it should be flipped and it should be 75.

[Will Friedle]

25.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There are many parents out there that

[Will Friedle]

give up careers and give up their

[Sabrina Carpenter]

lives to manage their kids, to take them to auditions. It becomes their life. They sit on sets all day.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, should you then be entitled to some of that money?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Maybe some.

[Will Friedle]

But 75%?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Not in my opinion. So, yes, I get that there are many, many people, you know, Lynn Strong, Ryder and Shiloh's mom was a teacher

[Will Friedle]

and essentially gave up her career.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Now, she didn't take Ryder and Shiloh's money, but she gave up her entire life and would drive them hours every

[Will Friedle]

day to do one.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Shiloh to go one place, Ryder to go another place. She'd sit on this.

[Will Friedle]

At one point, they were both on

[Sabrina Carpenter]

different sitcoms that she'd go to here and then she'd go to there.

[Will Friedle]

So she had every right to and still didn't. But there are some people.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Then you just hear, hey, I went to the bank and I pressed the ATM button and there was zero in there. And I found out my parents stole all my money, that it's awful.

[Will Friedle]

So that's one of the reasons why the Coogan law exists.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He's also a great guy.

[Will Friedle]

He's been.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He was one of those 80s child actors that was just better than everyone around him. He was just great. Keith Coogan and still is.

[Will Friedle]

But let's focus on this DCOM reboot. It aired on the Disney Channel, June 17th, 26th day, Juneau to 17th, as I call it. Smack dab in there.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I just made that up. It's not. I don't think June 17th is a. Is a holiday in any Way, shape, or form. But you just said Cinco de Mayo, and it got into my head.

[Will Friedle]

Smack dab in their big summer programming.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And it was a.

[Will Friedle]

A pretty big milestone. And by big milestone, I mean a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

very big milestone for Disney, because this

[Will Friedle]

is technically, and we're gonna say technically, the hundredth dcom. And the celebration was advertised for weeks. Now, some people had thoughts about this, whether it was actually a hundred or it wasn't, because there's you.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There's some fudging in there with this movie came out, but we're not counting it. Was this movie actually a dcom?

[Will Friedle]

Was that movie actually a dcom? But if Mickey said it was a hundred, ha ha.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's a hundred.

[Will Friedle]

So to celebrate this momentous occasion, they had a very big premiere event, which I believe you attended. Sabrina, what was that like?

[Sabrina Bryan]

I did. It was very cool because there were so many DCOM stars there. There was, like, it just. The red carpet, the, you know, the before the movie, the after, you know, after party. It was very cool to, like. It felt like a little, like, family reunion, if we'll say, right? Like, you had so many people. It was in. We said it was, you know, 2006. So that had been years. Jordan was with me. I mean, like, we. We had been together. That was kind of his first, like, Disney premiere thing that we had gone to. And, I mean, I remember him seeing, like, he goes just like, I don't. I didn't even realize how many decon celebrities I actually could, like, remember. He's like, I didn't. I. He doesn't take himself as, like, a Disney kid growing up on the channel.

[Yo Castro]

Sure.

[Sabrina Bryan]

As much as I do. And so he was just like, wow, this is wild. And it was very cool. I got to just run into so many people that I'd worked with for so long, and everyone was really excited. Like I said, it felt very much like a family reunion vibe. We were all just excited to be there.

[Will Friedle]

If you're in a dcom, you're part of a very select fraternity. You really are.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's kind of. You know what?

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's, like, so privileged. Cause my seats were literally right behind Sabrina and Sophia. Like, it was just like, I am someone here. Like this. And they both turned around and were like, we loved the Cheetah Girls. And then I was like, oh, wow. I mean, she. Like, it just was so cool. They were so sweet. And it was fun to be behind the celebrities that were watching. This was probably the first time they got to watch. And so when they were Clapping when they were thinking. And like you could tell, like they were reminiscing of their days on set for the movie. And it was just like a really. It was fun to like be a part of like their energy of the night. It was very cool. A very, very cool night.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Very, very cool.

[Will Friedle]

And by the way, they also decided at the time the DCOM was coming out to marathon.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And this is a weird number, but 53. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

Of the best DCOMs ever back to back on the channel during Memorial Day weekend, then air the rest leading up to the premiere in June. So think about that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Over one weekend, they did 53 decoms.

[Will Friedle]

That's a lot.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's a lot of DCOM and we've done a lot, but that's.

[Will Friedle]

I couldn't do them in a row

[Sabrina Bryan]

in, in a week, in a weekend.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Couldn't do them in a.

[Will Friedle]

I can literally think of nothing I want to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

do for 53 straight hours. Not a. Not a thing.

[Will Friedle]

Now, this reimagining had been bouncing around Disney for many, many years with a number of false starts. First with the channel legend and a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

year old cheetah gal, Raven Simone attached to star when she withdrew because of

[Will Friedle]

other projects and scheduling. Miley Cyrus was rumored to be stepping in, but later denied any involvement. Also, it was originally set to be

[Sabrina Carpenter]

called Further Adventures in Babysitting, which kind

[Will Friedle]

of makes sense, but I think they

[Sabrina Carpenter]

kind of made the right decision by just ripping off the first movie.

[Will Friedle]

It continued to get kicked around until 2015 when this incarnation got the green light, starring two of the studio at the time, two of their most promising stars. It filmed in March in Vancouver and wrapped just a month later. So we have to assume it was probably very cold to shoot. And the first official teaser aired during Invisible Sister, a recent film recap. But what they did is they actually showed the trailer.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They didn't make it invisible, so that was better.

[Will Friedle]

But the debut of Adventures of Babysitting trailer itself aired during an episode of Girl Meets World for obvious reasons, which

[Sabrina Carpenter]

we will get into.

[Will Friedle]

And the premiere did very well for the time. So remember, some of the numbers we throw at you sometimes it's a lower number than we saw during the heyday

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of DCOMs, for sure.

[Will Friedle]

But considering it debuted in 2016, it

[Sabrina Carpenter]

got 3.3.45 million viewers, which for the time was good. But we're talking about we go back to High School Musical numbers where there's 18, 19, 20 million people and you

[Will Friedle]

kind of go 3.3.4. But that's what people were watching at the Time.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The world has just changed.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, so considering you were at the big premiere, you obviously knew about Adventures

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of Babysitting, but were you excited to watch it again?

[Sabrina Bryan]

I was. I wish that I had time to have watched and saw the original because again, I had a lot of confusion watching it in the theater. I remember going to Jordan because he's like, did you ever watch the original? I'm like, oh, yeah, I definitely did. And then I went to him and I was like, I don't think I've seen the originals. I kept thinking, I told him, like, I don't think I've seen it then, because this isn't anything like what I remember. So I was interested. But also, like, I think. I do think, and Tara's on this recording. We've got to go back and watch the original after we've seen this one.

[Will Friedle]

It's.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There's nothing Disney about the original, though. I mean, they're swearing, there's talk of sex. There's some. There's some sketchy stuff.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I mean, was it on abc?

[Will Friedle]

No. The original. Was it just in the film? Was it in the theaters?

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's not Disney related at all.

[Will Friedle]

This was. Might have been distributed by them.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But I know that this was also, like, this was a rougher movie than they're used to.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Okay, okay. Well, even when it was, like, aired, it was a different time too. But, like, yeah, so I would love to. I really do. Even if we don't review it together, I would love to watch it and then talk about it. So we might as well make an episode of it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So awesome.

[Will Friedle]

That movie not only had Elizabeth Shue,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

it had Keith Coogan, but it also had friend of the podcast, George Newbern shows up at the end.

[Will Friedle]

Bradley Whitford's in it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I mean, it is just like one.

[Will Friedle]

What's his name from. From Full Metal Jacket. And now from Daredevil d'.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Onofrio. Vincent d' Onofrio plays the tow truck driver who they give a nod to in this film.

[Will Friedle]

I mean, but it was.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Well, we'll get into it because there are some parts that were more rough

[Will Friedle]

and excited to watch this movie for me.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I know. I was worried for you because I get it. I get is hard to take, like, such an epic film that, like, you grew up loving and then see how they. How they do it. Are they gonna do it right in your eyes? You know that that's tough, right?

[Will Friedle]

Oh, also, it says here from producer

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Lisa, that wiki says that the original

[Will Friedle]

Adventures of Babysitting was the first Walt Disney movie to be PG13.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And that's so that.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

And I think in PG13s, you're allowed

[Sabrina Carpenter]

either one or two F bombs in might be one.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And then if you have more than one, then it becomes a rated R. So I think. And it was an I. It was an iconic line where the F bomb drops and they redo it in this episode, in this movie, obviously verbatim without the F word. So we'll get into that. Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

So you can watch the movie for the first, second, third, or maybe hundredth time right now on Disney plus where it's available to stream. You can watch it now, watch it later, watch it while drinking some espresso like a manchild. Or not. I think those are all Sabrina Carpenter

[Sabrina Carpenter]

songs, but I don't know.

[Will Friedle]

Just please, please listen to our recap.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Either way, again, I love Sabrina. I don't think I've ever heard any of your music.

[Will Friedle]

No, I heard that Espresso song, which is great.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't know how you don't just like.

[Will Friedle]

Because I don't listen to new music.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, but if you've heard the song,

[Will Friedle]

the song Espresso I've heard. I think I heard Espresso like at a grocery store or something. But when I'm in the car anywhere where music is on, I heard my

[Sabrina Bryan]

heart like that too.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, no, I'm listening.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You can't put that song on. And I'm not just like.

[Will Friedle]

Again, I don't listen to new music. If it was recorded after 1996, there's

[Sabrina Carpenter]

a chance I'm n. Never heard it anything before then.

[Will Friedle]

70s, 80s. I'm in. Anyway, it is time to sell your purple ferret. Market's hot.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

This is the synopsis.

[Will Friedle]

Two teen rival babysitters, uptight overachiever Jenny and laid back rebel Lola are forced to team up when a babysitting mix up sends them racing across town to track down a missing kid. So for those of us who have seen the original, this plot does really stray from the original. If you need proof, here's a synopsis of the original. Responsible teenager Chris Parker's quiet babysitting night spirals into chaos when she and the kids venture into downtown Chicago to rescue her friend. So that's the first big difference. Here is the original is about one babysitter, not two, and she's tracking down her friend, not a kid. So yes, there are clearly some differences. Also, this movie, like it or not, the new one had way, way, way,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

way, way not enough Elizabeth Shoe just for the record.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So we're just not going to be able to get over certain things. Guys, just buckle up.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's never going to happen.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Buckle up.

[Will Friedle]

So with all this in mind, Sabrina, what are your early thoughts of adventures of babysitting? What did you think?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Hands down, love the two of them together. Need more of these two girls together working. I loved their chemistry. I thought they were great. And this movie I quickly saw, we are just going out of the park. Outlandish. Just crazy adventure on top of a crazy adventure that doesn't necessarily make sense. And. Okay, we're just gonna go with it. And I literally just got popcorn out and just did it. I loved it. I did like this movie. I did. And I. I, again, can't remember the original.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So I let the original situation just kind of go out of my head, and I sunk in. I liked it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Um. No.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Knowing that you were going to have.

[Will Friedle]

No. I had certain problems with this movie. The. The biggest problem I had with this movie is it's way too frenetic. They had them doing too much.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So much so.

[Will Friedle]

You're never stopping. It's a thousand percent.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The quiet moments were drown out by the constant, we have to run and we're yelling.

[Will Friedle]

That being said, I also liked it. I'll be honest with you. I did. No, I did. You're right.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The two leads are great.

[Will Friedle]

They're very, very. Yeah. Sophia and Sabrina together are just really good. They delineated the characters well. They seem like two different people. It worked. It did. It truly did work. I thought the kids were great.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They fully carried this movie.

[Will Friedle]

I. The. The bumbling. I wish they didn't do the bumbling

[Sabrina Carpenter]

villains following them quite as much because I. But I get.

[Will Friedle]

They had to Disney it up. I would have done it a different way with somebody else following them. I would have made it more of an actual threat than trying to chase a purple ferret with these kind of wacky, bumbling guys. But again, it's a dcom, so I understand that. But dcoms have also had real bad

[Sabrina Carpenter]

guys before, which I would have.

[Will Friedle]

I would have made it more. I. I never felt like they were

[Sabrina Carpenter]

in any actual danger from these two guys.

[Sabrina Bryan]

No.

[Will Friedle]

And I would have liked to have

[Sabrina Carpenter]

seen a little more of there being actual danger. Again, I. I would have cut three or four of the set pieces because I thought it was just, oh, my God, we're running here now.

[Will Friedle]

Now we're running here.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Now we're running here.

[Will Friedle]

Now we're running here.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And I think that.

[Will Friedle]

I think it was Good.

[Sabrina Bryan]

The villains actually pulled down the age demo in a sense. Like this movie could have been a little bit catered towards an older audience.

[Will Friedle]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Had they done a different villain situation.

[Will Friedle]

I think so.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And for Sophia and Sabrina, knowing now where they're at in their careers, I think that it would have been better for them to have more of a sophisticated kind of way of doing this. But again, it was like I instantly. It happens right from the start. So it's like, it's like, okay, this is the kind of movie we're watching.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And I enjoyed it again, I did.

[Will Friedle]

I. It's not as good as the original, obviously.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Usually nothing is not pretending it's going to be. And so I had to watch it on its own.

[Will Friedle]

And again, it was cute. This was a nice kind of movie.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I had. I again had had problems with some of the story.

[Will Friedle]

But overall good movie. It was directed by John Schultz, a drummer turned filmmaker. He was in the North Carolina band the Connells.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I think it's the. I think it's pronounced the Connells who

[Will Friedle]

have not released music since 2001 but did achieve moderate success with three top 10 hits on the alternative rock chart and are best known for their song 74 75.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He transitioned into film with a documentary

[Will Friedle]

on the making of Jurassic park in 1995 and went on to make a handful of movies including the Melissa Joan Hart Rom Com Drive Me Crazy, the Little Bow Wow basketball comedy like Mike Aliens in the Attic and the Honeymooners with Cedric the Entertainer and Gabrielle Union. And it stars now the second biggest

[Sabrina Carpenter]

pop star in the world only because

[Will Friedle]

Taylor Swift is basically impossible to lap. Sabrina Carpenter as Jenny Parker. She's an old co worker of mine. Sabrina has become one of the Disney's all time success stories.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Though her involvement in the channel is technically shorter than most of her contemporaries.

[Will Friedle]

At the age of 10, the Pennsylvania native began uploading videos to YouTube of her singing cover songs and soon after signing with a Hollywood manager, landing her a small role on Law and Special Victims Unit. Seen it. I didn't even know it was her. I was like, oh my God, that's Sabrina. And a reoccurring role on the show the Goodwin Games.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She'd signed to the Disney affiliated Hollywood

[Will Friedle]

Records as a pop singer and from there her journey through the system began. She was cast as Maya Hart on Girl Meets World, the follow up to a little show called Boy Meets World. She continued to release music during that time, but never really breaking through to mainstream until she left Disney behind. She appeared in movies like the Hate U Give Tall Girl and Work It. But then her music career went into another orbit. She opened for Taylor Swift on the ERAS tour and has since won two Grammys, headline Coachella and clocked numerous songs on the Billion Stream club on Spotify, sold out her own world tour, performed in Fortnite with her own skin, had two albums debut at number one and

[Sabrina Carpenter]

single handedly shifted culture.

[Will Friedle]

And yes, this Adventures in BabySitting was

[Sabrina Carpenter]

her first movie ever.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Congrats girl. Congrats.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I love Sabrina.

[Will Friedle]

She's.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She was great.

[Will Friedle]

She was always so sweet.

[Sabrina Bryan]

That is what I hear about her time and time again. And that she worked her butt off.

[Will Friedle]

Oh she did.

[Sabrina Bryan]

To get her.

[Will Friedle]

Yep.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Music career going.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She did.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I have never met her. Well I have. I've met her.

[Will Friedle]

You met her at the premiere.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But I did meet her as like the pop star that she is now and but man, I just ugh. Nothing but good things is what I've heard about her.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She is sweet.

[Will Friedle]

Never once heard of story.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Absolutely a sweetheart.

[Will Friedle]

And her co star is no slouch either. Sofia Carson plays Lola Perez. Carson first appeared on an episode of Disney's Austin and Ally, then was quickly cast as Evie in Disney's the Descendants and has become an integral part of that massive franchise. Like Sabrina Carpenter, Carson is a pop singer and in addition to her work in Hollywood, she is a UNICEF ambassador and frequently working with charities.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Selfish.

[Will Friedle]

And since I mean always thinking of yourself and since we have two pop stars in the movie, we got to talk about the soundtrack. We've got two duets, so does that make four by Sabrina and Sophia, the rap battle where the babysitters and the song Wild side. We also have some random tracks I'm sure Hollywood records adjacent from I'm going

[Sabrina Carpenter]

to try to get these right.

[Will Friedle]

Phototronic Annabelle Ungland and Brandon El Cadell N. Cadell. Brandon and Cadell. I'll take three people that I'm too old to know for a thousand Alex and then Mallory. James Mahoney is Katie Cooper. Mahoney played Destiny Baker for seasons three through seven of Disney's Bunked and joined the Descendants movie for the third one as Eve. She's also currently attending college at Texas

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Christian University, also known as tcu.

[Will Friedle]

Another Bunked veteran, Kevin Quinn, plays Zach. He also appeared on Shameless, Chicago PD

[Sabrina Carpenter]

and the Netflix movie A Week Away.

[Will Friedle]

But the cast means nothing if the movie's too long. It's important to remind you here at Magical Rewind we only sport films that are 90 minutes long. It's the perfect amount of time and nobody can convince us differently. So just how long was this?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Adventures in Babysitting?

[Will Friedle]

I don't remember how long the original one was, but it was perfect. It is this one. 93 minutes. How disappointing. Three off target. That's 180 minutes of horror. Might as well be. Can we just move on? Probably, because that's the only way contractually

[Sabrina Carpenter]

we can finish the recording of this podcast. Because it was up to me, I'd just walk away right now. 93 minutes. How dare they.

[Will Friedle]

And of course, on script duty, we've got Tiffany Paulson, a buzzy name these days in Hollywood. The 2007 Nancy Drew movie was her first job, but she's also written Turkey Drop with Olivia Holt and Holidate with Emma Roberts, who she's also worked with in the 2022's about fate. She directed the 2024 movie Winter Spring, Summer, Fall with Jenna Ortega and is currently writing and directing in A Holidays starring Maddie Ziegler and Rob Lowe.

Imagine never having to buy gas again. Sounds like a dream. Except it's real. That's everyday life with an electric vehicle. No long lines at the pump, just plug in at home and go. EVs are as easy to charge as your phone and built for real life. Most Americans drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a single charge. And with fewer moving parts, you've got fewer repairs and style. There are hundreds of new and used EV models to choose from. An EV to fit every lifestyle and every budget.

And I talk a lot about twists, turns and the unexpected moments that happen inside the ring on Wrestling With Fred. But the one thing I've learned Never turn your back on your opponents in the ring unless you have your tag partner with you. It helps to have backup, like real life backup, the kind you can call when life throws you something unexpected. That's when I recommend you reach out to your State Farm agent. They can help you choose the coverage you need before anything happens, and they're ready to help you file a claim when it does. When it's something out of the ordinary or just part of everyday life, it's good to know someone's in your corner. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

[Will Friedle]

So let's round up the kids. We're going to a rave to rap battle. This is adventures in babysitting the dcom. We get a very abrupt opening with Jenny, played by a young Sabrina Carpenter, sitting in a room, calmly stating an affirmation. You are smart, you are talented.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Just do your best and stay calm.

[Will Friedle]

Then we get our opening credits with

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the theme song Wildside by Carpenter and Sophia Carson.

[Will Friedle]

We see Lola for the very first time, throwing ripped up paper into the air, she's working on a very abstract and very messy photography project. Meanwhile, Jenny's in a room carefully placing traditionally shot photos into a spotless portfolio. They're clearly both artists with two very

[Sabrina Carpenter]

different styles and approaches.

[Will Friedle]

Eventually, Lola runs out the door with

[Sabrina Carpenter]

her giant canvas, bumping into things on

[Will Friedle]

her way out to a painted jeep with eyelashes on the headlights. I just want to say this out loud. Other than our clear and awesome race

[Sabrina Carpenter]

buddy, Erica Enders, I don't want to be friends with anybody who has eyelashes on their car.

[Will Friedle]

Did you ever have eyelashes on your car, Sabrina?

[Sabrina Bryan]

No, thank God. Although every holiday I see the like, antlers and the cute holiday is different and I'm always like, oh, that's so cute.

[Will Friedle]

That's allowed on holidays. That's. The holidays are okay. Yeah, it's cute for you.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Please don't put on my car.

[Sabrina Bryan]

No.

[Will Friedle]

Meanwhile, Jenny backs up and almost runs over a guy. And then we're outside Jenny's house. The music abruptly stops. She apologizes to Zach, the boy she almost killed, who immediately recognizes her too. He's like, wait, you're Sabrina Carpenter. She's in a hurry to a big interview, but also wonders what he's doing in her driveway. Well, he tells her that apparently the swim team is having a car wash

[Sabrina Carpenter]

and a girl named Dominique is helping him hand out flyers.

[Will Friedle]

He tells Jenny to come by later and he'll throw in free tire cleaning. They awkwardly say goodbye, and when he walks away, Jenny is thrilled. Oh my gosh.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Zach wants to polish my tires. And yes, that is absolutely a euphemism.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I feel I put it on my Sabrina Cs. I felt weird about it.

[Will Friedle]

Did you?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

He wants to polish my tires.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's a little weird. It's a little weird.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, it was weird.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

We know what you're saying, Sabrina. I've heard some of your music.

[Will Friedle]

The song Wild side continues to play as Lola and Jenny speed somewhere. We're not sure where.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Lola is driving haphazardly fast and Jenny is cautiously slow.

[Will Friedle]

Eventually, Lola screeches into a parking lot, bumping into a curb, which Jenny pulls perfectly into a parking spot. They both walk towards the large Vasquez office building, but Lola stops for a detour to buy some freshly squeezed juice and answer a phone call. Jenny, on the other hand, is already in the waiting room, giving herself a pep talk about how she is a brilliant artist. Lola is now arguing on the phone with her mom about not going to college and her unpaid parking Tickets While sprinting up the stairs. Then she runs into Jenny, mistaking her for a receptionist, Lola introduces herself. Hi, I'm Lola Perez. Could you let Mr. Vasquez know that I'm here?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because I'd appreciate it.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny explains she is a finalist for the photography internship. And what a coincidence Lola is too. Then the real assistant to Mr. Vasquez arrives, shushing them to be quiet. Mr. Vasquez is having a creative moment. He asks them for their portfolios and tells them to take a seat. It could take 10 seconds or 10 hours. While waiting in silence, Lola recognizes Jenny as the nerdy sophomore in her senior geometry class. This is where they start.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The ages start to get a little muddled for me.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

So I.

[Sabrina Bryan]

By the way, I think I'm not gonna have. Sabrina sees because I think we're gonna talk.

[Will Friedle]

Okay. Well, let's talk about them all because. So that's.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

What they. The way they wrote it was weird. What she meant was. So Sabrina's character, Jenny, is a senior now, though.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

Because she's gonna go to college and do everything. So Lolo would actually be if she was a sophomore or junior in college.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

If she was there. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

So she does at one point say she's 19. Because some of the.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

That happens with her gets real problematic.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes. If not, if.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

If she's a minor.

[Will Friedle]

Even. Even 19 to me is pushing it a bit.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

But they really went out of their

[Sabrina Carpenter]

way to show that she's of age.

[Will Friedle]

I'm of age. I'm of age.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because some of the stuff gets a little. Yes. Or can get a little icky. So anyway. Yes. She's in the senior.

[Will Friedle]

So she should have said when I was. When I was back in high school.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You were a sophomore when I was a senior.

[Will Friedle]

Right. Something like that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But anyway, yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They blow it by quickly on this part. But then they, like, hit it on the head.

[Will Friedle]

They had to hit it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yep.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny says she's not nerdy, she's just dedicated. She skipped the eighth grade and is on track for early college admission.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So she's even younger than she would have been. Freshman.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny is hoping this internship looks good on her resume. Lola, opted out of college. And this internship with Mr. Vasquez would fast track her career as a real artist. Then Jenny's phone rings. It's Professor Anderson, a teacher that is supposed to be writing a recommendation letter for her. But that's not what the call is about because the teacher is actually looking for a babysitter. Unfortunately, Jenny can't. She's already booked with the Coopers that night, but if she can think of anyone, she'll let her know. Lola, of course, is not impressed.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Wondering what it's like to be a

[Will Friedle]

babysitter for just $5 an hour. Jenny defends the gig, saying it's $20 an hour and double on holidays. Lola is obviously very impressed by that, but says she's never babysat because she

[Sabrina Carpenter]

has a real life. We already talked about whether you babysit

[Will Friedle]

now and how you hire people.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'm like, oh yeah, $5, that'd be wonderful. I have to that. That's part of like being a mom in the sense of like any type of work. You have to factor in how much it's going to cost you to.

[Will Friedle]

So let me ask you kids, what does a babysitter go for nowadays?

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's anywhere from like 15 to, to 20, sometimes 25 an hour.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Wow.

[Will Friedle]

It's expensive. That's a great way for a kid to make some money.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, and, but you do it based on, like, what they are. Like if you're going like nanny style, like you're talking somebody who's like, oh,

[Will Friedle]

that could be 60 or 70 an hour.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, like that goes up real, real quick.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But when you're talking about like a high school kid and what they're going to be doing with your kids, like, they come if they're going. If you're going out for a date night, you're talking, they're coming over 6 o'.

[Will Friedle]

Clock.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So you've probably either figured out dinner already, you know what I mean? And the kids are just playing and watching, you know, tv. Do you know all that kind of stuff? You just. It.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, it's different than having a nanny

[Sabrina Bryan]

during what they're going to do versus like a nanny is like, that's a whole thing. Yeah, yeah, it's a totally different thing. They're driving your kids. They're doing lots of stuff.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Bowen Yang]

Imagine never having to buy gas again. Sounds like a dream. Except it's real. That's everyday life with an electric vehicle. No long lines at the pump. Just plug in at home and go. Evs are as easy to charge as your phone and built for real life. Most Americans drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a single charge. And with fewer moving parts, you've got fewer repairs and style. There are hundreds of new and used EV models to choose from. An EV to fit every lifestyle and every budget. Learn [e-mail].

where to next?

[Will Friedle]

Well, finally, Mr. Vasquez arrives. He's excited to meet his Magnifico finalists. When standing to greet the boss, Jenny accidentally bumps Lola's freshly squeezed juice, spilling the bright red drink, onto the white carpet. This is turning into a nightmare.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And.

[Will Friedle]

And in the chaos, they drop their phones. And when they bend down to retrieve them, they accidentally grab each other's phones.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Hello.

[Will Friedle]

Stuck in the suburbs.

[Sabrina Bryan]

In the suburbs,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

too.

[Will Friedle]

We have a repeat dcom plot, people.

[Sabrina Bryan]

At least their phones look the same. They're both iPhones. That could happen.

[Will Friedle]

But still, who doesn't check to make

[Sabrina Carpenter]

sure it's your phone?

[Will Friedle]

All you do is when you pick up the phone, you turn to you and the screensaver pops on. And if it's not my wife and I, then it's some other person's phone. Yes, seriously. Luckily, Mr. Vasquez does not appear concerned about the carpet.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They missed a huge joke here. He should have stopped and bent down and looked at the carpet and been like this.

[Will Friedle]

I was beautiful.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, because he loved, you know, that. To show how eccentric eccentric he was. They made him way too stuffy, by the way. Suit and tie. Never should have had that.

[Will Friedle]

He should come down and painted overalls holding a camera.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I mean, they scar like they missed. They missed the boat on that guy.

[Will Friedle]

But anyway, he's decided actually to cancel the interviews today because they have such drastically different artistic points of view. He thinks he'll need a more unconventional approach. He wants the girls to dazzle him,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

which, honestly, feels a bit like an HR issue.

[Will Friedle]

Lola starts speaking Spanish about her new radical digital effects.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And Jenny follows suit, speaking Spanish, albeit poorly, about experimenting in black and white.

[Will Friedle]

And with this in mind, he gives them until Monday to present something new. May the best artist win. And this kind of never comes back. At least it does for Lola.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, it's a repetitive thing, but. No, but she. She has a moment when they're, like, talking at the end, at the very end, that she brings that back.

[Will Friedle]

Right. But until then, the entire adventure in

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the middle, there was no competition between the two of them in any way, shape, or form. Jenny completely forgot about it, and Lola completely kept doing it.

[Will Friedle]

And I get why they did that, but they should have started where both

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of them are trying to do something. And then it tapers off for Jenny as she realizes this is actually Lola's. Life.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But that's true.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But they didn't do that.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You're right.

[Will Friedle]

We're now outside the building. Lola notices she's getting a parking ticket and runs to the officer.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh, the officer.

[Will Friedle]

She was in a loading zone and tries to explain how important her meeting was. Her phone rings again, and this time the ringtone is Beethoven. And she's not really weirded out by this. She just kind of answers the phone. Shouldn't she know by that point that

[Sabrina Carpenter]

it's like, oh, my God.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, my God, I don't have this. My. Where's my phone?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

Nothing.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, she's mesmerized, I guess.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Well, yeah, because the officer is impressed, though, because for Elise is one of his favorites. He wonders if it's her boyfriend calling,

[Will Friedle]

which again, seems weird for a cop to be flirting with somebody who looks like they could be in high school. And again, they keep. They've. They're specifically trying to do this stuff because A, they cast somebody who's very young looking, and B, he's like, I'm a rookie. This is my first day on the job and I'm actually your age, ma'. Am.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And it's like, okay.

[Will Friedle]

Like, it still was a little weird. Did you find it a little weird?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Okay.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I didn't think casting made sense in the sense of she just still looks so young.

[Will Friedle]

Yes.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And he did. He looked like not even in his early 20s to me. He looked like more like 27.

[Will Friedle]

Right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like, he was like, there was. Looked like a big gap.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

And at best, she's supposed to be 19.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Right. And we're watching a decon, which at this point you can see the chaos and the very Disney. Disney. Disney version of this.

[Will Friedle]

Yes. And I get what they're trying to do, but it gave me a little

[Sabrina Carpenter]

bit of the ick, if I'm honest.

[Will Friedle]

Not a ton, but enough to be

[Sabrina Bryan]

like, listen, it was just a stretch. It didn't give me the ick. It was just a stretch.

[Will Friedle]

But, yeah, it was. They're talking about high school and then

[Sabrina Carpenter]

she's out there flirting with a cop. It was like.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And in my head, I didn't see this character coming back into play ever.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, you didn't? Oh, my God.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I knew this was. Instantly knew this was going to be

[Yo Castro]

a big

[Sabrina Bryan]

back into play. I thought this was just part of her chaos life.

[Will Friedle]

I knew that something crazy was going

[Sabrina Carpenter]

to happen and eventually she was going to need a cop and it was going to be Officer McDream. Like, I knew. Oh, I knew that Instantly. Yes.

[Will Friedle]

So, yes, he wonders if it's her boyfriend calling, which is weird. Lola says she's single and answers her

[Sabrina Carpenter]

phone, which is strange.

[Will Friedle]

But it's Zach, the boy that Jenny almost killed. He has an extra ticket to the Psychic Rockets to the Psychic Rockets concert tonight, and was wondering if Lola.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Okay, so here's the thing.

[Will Friedle]

Lola, who seems pretty excited at first, at this point, cuts him off. Oh, I love that band, but I hate concerts. Sorry, Zeke. Not interested.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Then she hangs up. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

She either knows it's not her phone and is now destroying somebody's life without caring about it.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

Or somehow doesn't know it's her phone and thinks she's just blowing off a random guy calling. Either way, she comes off looking pretty awful.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, she does. And she. She definitely looks like.

[Will Friedle]

Which one do you think it is? Do you think she knows it's the other girl's phone?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Obviously knows it's her. The other girl's phone, obviously knows she doesn't know a guy named Zeke. But for some reason, it's like, oh, I love that band. And then. I don't know, it was. That part was just kind of like. I don't know, she just seemed so rude.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

And she should have. It should have been.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So, again, there's a lot of what a shoulda couldas. But from a writing standpoint, they should

[Will Friedle]

have left the meeting on very bad

[Sabrina Carpenter]

terms, the two of them.

[Will Friedle]

They should have essentially hated each other so that when she realizes she has her phone, it's intentional.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

That she's gonna screw her over.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Like, oh. Oh, no. Sorry, Zeke. I'm not like, ha.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I see what you think about that.

[Will Friedle]

As opposed to they just kind of blew it off.

[Chiquis]

Sure.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'll see you there. And.

[Will Friedle]

And set it up. Like she's gonna blow him off.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

I mean, there's plenty of ways to do it. This was just poorly written.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It was a.

[Will Friedle]

It was muddled.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It was a weird. Yeah, it was muddled. And it was just kind of. I just felt the way I saw it was. It was playing into her very, like, frivolous, like, character. She doesn't really care much about people on the road as she's driving. She doesn't. Like.

[Honey German]

You know what I mean?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like, there's. It's like she just doesn't. She lives in her own world. Right.

[Will Friedle]

But she's doing this with somebody else's phone. She doesn't even really register the fact. I mean, anybody, especially from the phone

[Sabrina Carpenter]

era, even in 2016, on, you're gonna

[Will Friedle]

freak out that you don't have your phone.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah. You're gonna freak out that you don't have your phone.

[Will Friedle]

That's what I mean. It's like, oh, my God, this isn't mine. Where's my phone? Oh, it's upstairs. I've got none of that. It was like, oh, I'm gonna screw you over and put it back in my pocket. It was. It was very strange the way that he was there.

[Sabrina Bryan]

The cop was there. I don't know.

[Will Friedle]

I get it. I know. That's what I mean.

[Sabrina Bryan]

As we see is set up for the remainder of the movie.

[Will Friedle]

I was just about to say there's a lot going on. Yeah. This movie, there's a lot going on.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You gotta pay attention because it's like they are flipping the script constantly.

[Will Friedle]

Happening. It's a very frene.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Frenetic movie. It really is. Yeah. Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

So Lola then turns her attention back to the cop, begging him to ignore the ticket. Her parents will take her keys away. He says he's sorry, but he's a rookie. I'm a rookie, ma', am, and just over your age and can't break the rules. But he's sure a smart girl like her can find a way to pay for the ticket.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Again, all this seems like a real issue.

[Will Friedle]

Lola is bummed to find out it's $80. How is she gonna get that? Then, right on time, her cell phone rings. Still Beethoven. And now it's Mrs. Anderson. She still can't find find a babysitter. If Lola knows anyone, she'll pay double.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Lola.

[Will Friedle]

Now, as Jenny says, my good friend Lola is very responsible, and I'll send her over.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Still weird how she's handling this phone situation.

[Will Friedle]

Now Jenny's pulled up to the car wash. She's excited to see Zach bringing her dirty tires as requested. Again, weird euphemism. But now hurt she isn't going. But now hurt she isn't going to the concert. He just looks at her and robotically says, sorry, we're closed. And then he grabs that hussy Dominique's

[Sabrina Carpenter]

hand and walks away.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Hey, it's not Dominique's fault. Don't you get mad at her.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I blame Dominique.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You cannot blame her. Although she is waiting in the side wings, just waiting for her chance.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Drooling over Zach.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You can tell she is Zeke.

[Will Friedle]

No, Zack.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's Zeke.

[Will Friedle]

It's Zack. She calls him Zeke by accident, as a joke. He's really Zack.

[Sabrina Bryan]

See?

[Will Friedle]

You didn't even know the poor guy's name. Oh, God, it's Zach.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh, Zach, she's waiting. Zach.

[Will Friedle]

Zach.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I can't believe they used that name again. How dare a DCOM ever use the name Zack.

[Will Friedle]

Don't you think it should.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Seriously, it should be retired like a basketball number. Like, you can never use Zach again in a dcom.

[Yo Castro]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

What's Zach's actual character's name, though? Oh, shit. I'm gonna get myself in trouble.

[Will Friedle]

Wait, what are you talking about? From Troy. You mean Troy Bolton?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Troy?

[Will Friedle]

Yes, Sabrina, even I know Troy Bolton.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He's dreaming.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Fire. Lisa gave you the answer.

[Will Friedle]

I knew Bolton. She wrote Troy. I knew Bolton. Oh, my son. Okay, so now we're at the Anderson's house. And I'm gonna keep saying we're at the Anderson's house. We're in the kitchen. We're over there because we're all over the place.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's very fast.

[Will Friedle]

Her son Trey is on the phone

[Sabrina Carpenter]

with a friend planning to sneak out when his mom leaves.

[Will Friedle]

Mrs. Anderson walks in angry that he spent $200 on apps without permission. I assume she means computer apps because

[Sabrina Carpenter]

even I couldn't eat $200 worth of apps.

[Will Friedle]

She takes away his phone and tablets. I probably could, actually. She's leaving for the gala soon and instructs him to be nice to the babysitter.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He asks if it's Jenny because obviously he's happy about that.

[Will Friedle]

Then finds out it's one of her friends filling in. Mrs. Anderson tells him to shape up because at this rate, he'll never be

[Sabrina Carpenter]

responsible enough to babysit.

[Will Friedle]

And this is where they.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You know. Keith Coogan's character was in love with Elizabeth Shue, as we all were and should be in the original Adventures in Babysitting. So they try to keep some of these tropes going.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, and now we're in the kitchen. Mrs. Anderson's other son, Bobby is making a mess while baking. Their younger daughter AJ is in head to toe protection roller skating in the house. She's upset because her dad promised to take her to the roller derby, but he's got the dates mixed up. He has to go to this very

[Sabrina Carpenter]

important gala where their mom is being celebrated over.

[Will Friedle]

Now, at the Cooper's house, little Katie is in her mom's bedroom as Mrs. Cooper is trying on a fancy red dress. Mrs. Cooper notices Katie is wearing red lipstick and expensive large earrings. She's instructed to take them off, but Katie explains, if my sister's allowed to shave her head, then I should also be able to wear diamonds. So we instantly cut to the bathroom. Emily is about to shave one side of her head. When Mrs. Cooper barges in to stop it, Emily is furious at her sister for tattling, but little Katie reveals, you don't have the right head shape for a buzz cut. Mrs. Cooper tells the girls to be good for Jenny, the babysitter. And that's when Jenny pulls up for a night of work. She hears a musical ringtone and realizes it's Lola's phone. And they swapped. I mean, she got it right away

[Sabrina Carpenter]

and was upset that somebody else had her phone. We're also supposed to believe that she went a couple hours as a kid

[Will Friedle]

without looking at her phone, which I don't buy. Jenny answers the unknown number and explains the situation. The guy on the phone still invites her to a toga party. And a frustrated Jenny hangs up, slamming

[Sabrina Carpenter]

her head on the car horn.

[Will Friedle]

And now Lola arrives at the Andersons. Allison answers the door and Lola calls her cute.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Just before the little girl slams the

[Will Friedle]

door in her face. Mrs. Anderson, can't believe she just did that, reopens the door for Lola, explaining her niece bailed on her for a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

concert in the city.

[Will Friedle]

She asked Lola how long she's known. Jenny and Lola fibs, saying forever. They share a love of geometry and children. Mrs. Anderson introduces Lola to Bobby. Tonight he'll finish 100 cupcakes for his junior chef competition. Bobby asks Lola to try his frosting and she suggests that he needs to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

kick it up a notch.

[Will Friedle]

Bam.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I added the bam. If you know, you know.

[Will Friedle]

Mrs. Anderson explains that Trey is upstairs grounded and Allison is sulking because she's missing a roller derby. Then we meet Lady Marmalade, the fluffy

[Sabrina Carpenter]

white family dog who I thought was

[Will Friedle]

going to have a lot more to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

do in this movie than he actually does.

[Will Friedle]

She also tells Lola that the stove and hot tub are strictly off limits while they're gone and that Bobby has to return the kitchen to its pre cupcake tidiness. When he's done with that, Mrs. Anderson leaves her number for Lola and tells her husband they are not taking the brand new beautiful SUV to the city. Instead, they're going to take the sedan. Before the parents leave, Mrs. Anderson makes sure Lola can handle three kids on her own. But then she remembers, of course she can. She was recommended by Jenny. Lola smirks. Yeah, she taught me everything I know. We're now back at the Cooper's house. Jenny's already arrived and tells the Coopers not to worry. Mrs. Cooper left money for ice cream, but Emily is banned from doing anything to her hair. And Katie is banned from the Fancy jewelry box Mrs. Cooper leaves mints, safety pins and emergency cash, telling Jenny to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

take care of her babies.

[Will Friedle]

We are now in the Anderson house. Popping back and forth here, people. You got to stick with us. It's going to be like this for the rest of the movie. Lola is attempting to do their laundry as instructed, but immediately overflows it with detergent. She shuts the door and hopes for the best.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

How do you just keep dumping detergent

[Will Friedle]

into the thing if you've never done detergent in your life?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You even know you don't dump a whole thing in detergent in there.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, but you're right.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She's supposed to be scatterbrained. I get it.

[Will Friedle]

Then she spots a bathing suit, remembers, oh wait, there's a hot tub. And even though she was told that it was off limits, she rushes to the backyard. In the kitchen, roller skating, AJ slams into Bobby, causing a hand towel to erupt into flames. In a panic, he throws a towel and it lands near the dog just as Lola runs back inside concerned about the screaming. And then Lola's switched. Phone rings. Little AJ answers and says Lola is busy putting out a fire with an extinguisher. Well, it's Jenny. And she can't believe what she's hearing. Lola is at the Anderson. Since she is coming over right now and bringing the Cooper kids with her. Lola puts out the fire and calls it awesome.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

A now furious Jenny arrives with her

[Will Friedle]

crew to find Lola is locked out of the house. And though no one notices, we see Trey sneak out of an upstairs window. Now inside the house, Jenny can't believe what the kitchen already looks like. It's going to take forever to clean this up. And her reputation is on the line. Noticing he's missing, Emily rushes to Trey's room, sees the open window and announces he's left for the Psychic Rockets concert. Jenny is beside herself. How did lola let a 14 year old kid sneak out into the city? The number one rule of babysitting is to never take your eyes off the kids. And all Lola is focused on is

[Sabrina Carpenter]

taking pictures with her camera. Now here's the thing.

[Will Friedle]

He's only supposed to be two years

[Sabrina Carpenter]

younger than Sabrina,

[Sabrina Bryan]

right?

[Will Friedle]

That's crazy to me because she's supposed to have skipped a grade, so she's supposed to be a Senior, but at 16.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So he's a sophomore.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, he's 14 years old and has a crush on a 16 year old.

[Will Friedle]

Not weird. Yeah, like that's not weird in, in the original adventures of babysitting, she was supposed to be, I think Maybe she was a senior. She might have been a senior and he might have been a freshman. That might have been how they did it, which again, isn't.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Isn't totally weird.

[Will Friedle]

And this. These. They're supposed to be like contemporaries, basically.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

So I would have.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Again, I'm going to keep going the I would have route if I had

[Will Friedle]

to write it, though. He should have put up. He put up a little bit of a stink, but it should have been

[Sabrina Carpenter]

a much bigger stink about.

[Will Friedle]

I'm 14, she's 16. What do you think she's going to do that I can't do?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

Well, she can drive you somewhere other than drive me somewhere. What can she. You know what I mean?

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's, like, supposed to go anywhere, right?

[Will Friedle]

It's. It should have been a little more about how they're really close in age, which they are, because then the girl they cast to play the girl who's gonna shave her head looked way younger than him.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

And they seem to be. Sabrina. Jenny seemed to be kind of supporting that relationship later.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Like, if he doesn't see your worth,

[Will Friedle]

he's not worth it. It's like you two are closer in age, it looks like, than those two are.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, I know. I think she's probably a seventh or eighth grader.

[Will Friedle]

So she's probably 12 and he's 14 or 13.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, 12 or I would say probably. She seemed like 13 to me.

[Will Friedle]

And he's 14 and she's 16. So there. All these kids essentially, other than Lola, are like the same age.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Well, except for the.

[Will Friedle]

Except the little.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The two little girls.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

But other than that, I mean, there's like three kids that are kind of the same age, which, again, is a bit like the. So the original adventures of Babysitting, of Memory Serves, it's two friends that are

[Sabrina Carpenter]

in high school that are freshmen, their

[Will Friedle]

little sister, and they're being watched by

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the Lord's mistress, the most beautiful woman in the history of the world, next to my wife, Elizabeth Shue.

[Will Friedle]

So.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Lord.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Exactly. So again, only one.

[Will Friedle]

One person prettier. My wife.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Other than that, prettiest. And I say that with all love and respect for you, Sabrina, but it goes. My wife, Elizabeth Shue, and then you and the rest of humanity.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'm. Okay. Okay.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So.

[Will Friedle]

So, yeah, I mean, I guess it's kind of maybe it. The casting looked strange to me because a lot of them looked like they're similar in age.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Elizabeth, she was supposed to be how old, though?

[Will Friedle]

I think she was supposed to be 20. No, I think she's supposed to be. I think she's supposed to be a senior in high school. I think she's supposed to be 17.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

Also, invariably people from the 70s and the 80s movies look way older for their age.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They did not cast. They did not cast of age or

[Will Friedle]

even it was or. But even when they did, you go back and you look at.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There's these things that I love looking at them because they just make.

[Sabrina Bryan]

She's supposed to be 17.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

So that make me feel so old. But you go back and you look

[Sabrina Carpenter]

at how old actors were when they played certain roles. Like Wilford Brimley in Cocoon was like 44, 48, something like, oh, he's 49,

[Will Friedle]

he's my age in Cocoon. So it's like things like that. They just looked older.

[Sabrina Bryan]

The cast of Friends was so much older than what they were playing.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

So the ages here were probably accurate. But the accurate casting and ages made them all kind of look like they were all contemporaries.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Instead of like, I'm babysitting for you. But I guess at the same time, if you're 12, you might have a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

15 year old babysitter.

[Will Friedle]

I mean, I guess, right? I don't know.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Like I was just on my, my nephew's 13 and my sister was just telling me that she was out with some friends and then the sitter that they were gonna have had to leave at a certain time. And so then she just let her 13 year old. The kids were asleep, everyone was done. And she was like, but you know, he was home with them alone for like an hour.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And she was going, she goes. But I'm like questioning myself, like, is that okay? And I'm like, well, the only time it wouldn't be okay is if there was gonna be like some kind of emergency. If you got. They live in Tennessee. If there was like a, A tornado or whatever kind of stuff, that would be scary. But other than that, like I think that's an hour.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, I think so too. I do too. It was. I think it's because they all look so young, which just kids nowadays just look young.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I mean, again, adults look younger than they did.

[Will Friedle]

You look at people now like if you cast friends now, early 20s, they're

[Sabrina Bryan]

like, my age, you look magical.

[Will Friedle]

You look magical.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You gotta trying to look young. So thanks.

[Will Friedle]

If they were casting you in an 80s movie. No, this is not a joke.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You would be cast in an 80s movie as early 20s.

[Sabrina Bryan]

No way.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yes, you would.

[Will Friedle]

Yes, you would.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Will Friedle]

Early to mid-20s.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You absolutely would.

[Will Friedle]

100%. If I shaved my beard, they cast

[Sabrina Carpenter]

me mid to late 30s and I'm 50.

[Will Friedle]

I mean that's the back in the day. Sure, that's what they looked like. Go back and look at them.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They look so much different.

[Will Friedle]

The kids, look at the kids that are supposed to be in Breakfast Clubs.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Club.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, they're all high school kids. They all look like they're in their 30s compared to this group of kids who are supposed to be the same age. Anthony Michael hall is supposed to be 15 years old in Breakfast Club. He's the same age as the Zach kid or whatever.

[Sabrina Bryan]

No. Yes. Wow.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No.

[Will Friedle]

It is so different now.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It is so different now.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Anyway, what were we talking about?

[Will Friedle]

We were talking about adventures of babysitting and we're gonna get back to it. We were talking about the Lord's mistress. So we're talking about.

[Yo Castro]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

So yes.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny is now beside herself. How did lola let a 14 year old kid sneak out into the city? The number one rule of babysitting is to never take your eyes off the kids. And all Lola is focused on is

[Sabrina Carpenter]

taking pictures with her camera.

[Will Friedle]

They see Andre's tablet that he was getting the tickets from a place called Tiny's Pawn Shop.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because of course when you need tickets,

[Will Friedle]

you go to a pawn shop. So Jenny decides they'll drive to the city.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And 15 year old knows this. This is the thing. Just Google it sees like a 14 year old knows to go to pawn shop.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I don't know, it's weird.

[Will Friedle]

You also get you buy him outside the concert. It's more expensive but you buy them outside the concert.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Everybody knows that, right?

[Will Friedle]

Lola says she knows the city well,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

but Jenny is not interested in having a sidekick.

[Will Friedle]

Emily suggests they all go together. They're already in trouble since a total stranger is watching them anyway. And if not, they're willing to snitch

[Sabrina Carpenter]

to their parents about what's going on.

[Will Friedle]

So then the garage door opens, revealing that new SUV. Mrs. Anderson didn't want anybody to drive. Jenny knows this is a bad idea, but it's the only car that will

[Sabrina Carpenter]

fit all of them.

[Will Friedle]

We're inside the Anderson's house now. Now alone, the dog has jumped up on the stove to eat the meatballs, tipping over the pan and spilling pasta sauce everywhere just as the washer explodes, shooting water and clothes all over the house.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

This is getting very bad.

[Will Friedle]

But back in the car, they eventually arrive at the pawn shop, smack dab in a sketchy neighborhood and park across the street. Lola tells everyone to stay in the car and she'll grab Trey, but Katie has to go to the bathroom. So Jenny says they all have to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

go because again, no child left behind behind.

[Will Friedle]

And that's when we and only we see that they are parked in a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

tow zone, just like the original movie.

[Will Friedle]

Inside the pawn shop, they enter just as the owner, Tiny, is negotiating a deal to trade in a varmint for $100,000 cash.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Jenny tells him she's looking for a

[Will Friedle]

teenage boy who stopped by for concert tickets. Tiny refers them to the quote unquote scalper, a man dressed as a ninja swinging around a sword. And when Lola tries asking the scalper about selling tickets, he responds by just saying, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Also, I don't know if scalper is

[Sabrina Carpenter]

an appropriate term term anymore. Let's just say that somebody who's selling

[Will Friedle]

the tickets when they threaten to call the cops, he admits the kid paid in ones. Like he was going to a strip club and he hates ones. But the boy did mention pizza before he left. Emily knows Trey loves a pizza place called Mario's, revealing she may have a little crush on the boy.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Katie even calls it stalking.

[Will Friedle]

Meanwhile, Bobby tried to feed the cage prized ferret, and now it got loose and is knocking everything over. Tiny's freaking out, but Lola is just

[Sabrina Carpenter]

taking pictures of all the chaos.

[Will Friedle]

Tiny eventually recaptures his little cash cow, and when Jenny looks outside, she sees the car is getting towed. And then the ferret gets loose again. When Lola takes a picture of Tiny and the scared pet, they all now run outside the pawn shop. And yes, it's official. We have another crazy, wacky story about

[Sabrina Carpenter]

trying to sell an illegal expensive ferret. How many of those have we seen? Kidding. That's never happened.

[Will Friedle]

I don't think there's anything in the

[Sabrina Carpenter]

world like a hundred thousand dollar ferret is there.

[Will Friedle]

But who knows? There's million dollar koi fish, so who knows?

[Sabrina Bryan]

I know, but I kept thinking of Kindergarten Cop. That ferret that saves the day.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, yeah.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I keep thinking of the ferrets that are one of them that dies in Beastmaster. Oh, it's so sad. God, Beastmaster was a good movie. Oh, God.

[Will Friedle]

You know when. When Rip Torn plays the bad guy,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

you're in for something.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, now the tow lady has locked

[Sabrina Carpenter]

up the car and is hauling it

[Will Friedle]

away, but she says she'll give them back their SUV for dollars. Jenny realizes she doesn't have her purse and no one has any money on Them. The truck lady says she's opened until midnight and carelessly drives off with Mrs. Anderson's SUV. Jenny remembers she has $10 for ice cream and remembers seeing a bus stop close by. They'll take the bus to Mario's Pizza. Bobby is snacking on candy he took from the pawn shop when Tiny and the ninja threaten them from across the street. The kids take off and the guys start chasing after them. But a truck blocks the path and

[Sabrina Carpenter]

splashes the adults with that same job giant puddle.

[Will Friedle]

Tiny tells the ninja they can't lose the kids because Lola has a picture

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of him with the stolen sapphire ferret. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

I'm just letting it slide again. I wish, I wish it was something other than a ferret, something other than

[Sabrina Carpenter]

something ridiculous and that the. The bad guys were actually more bad

[Will Friedle]

guys and they could have still Disneyfied

[Sabrina Carpenter]

it up without making it so wacky and crazy.

[Will Friedle]

Which kind of it just. It diminished the danger as opposed to escalating the danger.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And I think they could have, could have made it a little more. But hey, again, it's a dcom.

[Will Friedle]

I get it. They're trying to attract younger.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

A younger audience too. So the bumbling kind of people coming after it. Totally.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But I feel like the fact that there was nothing really on the line with these guys.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Right.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Just kind of made them not necessary characters.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like they had. They had so much going trying to find this kid. Trying to get like as we keep continuing like they have being chased really didn't. No need to happen.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Because there wasn't really anything on the line.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And again, they didn't even know why they were being chased by these guys.

[Will Friedle]

No. And. And it's one of those things where the now see in the original adventures in babysitting PG13 compared to DCOM, what happens is.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And this is where it shows it's way more adult is the Keith Coogan's friend.

[Will Friedle]

So one of the on running storylines

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of adventure and babysitting adventures and babysitting is that there is a naked pictorial of a woman in Playboy that looks exactly like Elizabeth Shue.

[Will Friedle]

So she's in a Playboy.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't think I've seen this movie.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Okay.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's great.

[Will Friedle]

And the kids, the kids are looking at. So these two freshmen are looking at Playboy and he puts a copy of it in his backpack. It drops out later and he picks. Thinks he picks it up.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So their car gets stolen while they're in it. A guy comes and literally carjacks it while they're in it and brings it to a chop shop where they're held by actual criminals.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh, my God.

[Will Friedle]

He sees a Playboy to replace his and grabs it and puts it in his backpack. Well, what you come to find out

[Sabrina Carpenter]

is the actual list of the cars that were stolen and where they're going to go were written into that Playboy boy. So that's why the real bad guys with guns who want them dead are chasing these kids in adventures and babysitting because they have the Playboy with all the. So obviously they can't do that in this one. They can't have nakedness.

[Will Friedle]

They can't have Playboy.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Are talking two different level movies.

[Will Friedle]

But that was PG13 back in the day.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Playboy was PG13.

[Will Friedle]

Well, you never saw it. She obviously posed for the real Playboy.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She posed for the COVID Elizabeth Shoe,

[Will Friedle]

but she's covering everything on the COVID

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But you can tell it's clearly her. And it's supposed to be a porn star who looks like her. And so the whole movie, people are like recognizing her.

[Will Friedle]

And she's like, it's not me.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But it's.

[Will Friedle]

They're being chased because they actually have

[Sabrina Carpenter]

something that real criminals are after.

[Will Friedle]

And so they could have ratcheted up a bit. Obviously they can't do that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But something could have been a little easier.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Right, so the kids don't know about this list of cars either?

[Will Friedle]

No, they have no idea. They know that they.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They just are chasing them and literally want them dead. Yeah. So, yeah, it's crazy.

[Will Friedle]

But now all our kids, because they have a picture of this guy with the ferret not quite the same. They board a bus, but they find out that $10 is not enough. The driver says it's actually $12. Lola and Jenny argue over not having the money, and the bus driver eventually

[Sabrina Carpenter]

doesn't want to hear him argue anymore, so he just tells him to take a bus seat.

[Will Friedle]

They eventually make it to Mario's Pizza shop. They find Trey at a table with his bratty friends. Emily says hi, but Trey ignores her. He instead asks Jenny not to rat him out because he'll be grounded for life. Lola reveals herself as the babysitter and Jenny says it's time to come with them. They have a bigger problem than this concert. They need to scalp Trey's ticket for the money. Jenny finally takes Katie to the bathroom and Trey continues to ignore Emily. Disgusted, Emily rolls her eyes and tells Lola she's going to the tattoo shop. Lola barely cares and tells her to have fun.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Go express yourself.

[Will Friedle]

As Emily then just walks to the

[Sabrina Carpenter]

tattoo Shop next door.

[Will Friedle]

Now we're in the bathroom. Jenny overhears girls talking about how Zach Chase is taking that floozy Dominique to the concert with this news. Jenny screams, no tipping off the gossipers to her. Eavesdropping. The girls admit they never thought they'd

[Sabrina Carpenter]

see Jenny out in the city on a Friday night.

[Will Friedle]

She pretends she's obviously with the mature city friends. Just then, little Katie comes out of the stall. She needs help pulling up her stockings. Jenny pretends she doesn't know the girl, but we're helper and walk her out to find her mom. And then the thing that was interesting about these girls in this storyline is nothing happens again. And you never see anything to do

[Sabrina Carpenter]

with this at all.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You think you're supposed to hate these girls, but don't worry, they don't come back.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, no, they don't come back. They.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You don't.

[Will Friedle]

She don't see them at the concert later. She doesn't see them in school.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Nothing. They don't come back.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They don't ruin her life in any sense.

[Will Friedle]

These were scenes. These were scenes you didn't need. And I get what. There was other ways to find out

[Sabrina Carpenter]

that this guy went to the concert without him. The whole adding this scene.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I mean, 2016, she could have just been on her phone, going on Facebook, social media.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah. And she's like, oh, my God, I found. He's going anyway.

[Sabrina Bryan]

He just posted a picture.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. The two guys from the pawn shop arrive at Mario's just as Emily returns,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

now excited to show them her new henna tattoo.

[Will Friedle]

The guy did it for free because he liked her aura. Lola loves it, but Jenny hopes it

[Sabrina Carpenter]

comes off with soap and water.

[Will Friedle]

Then the pawn shop guys push their way inside the restaurant. Once spotted, the kids all scream and run into the back alley. Katie tells Trey that the guys are after them because Bobby stole a candy bar and can't give it back because he's licked it. Just as they open a side door

[Sabrina Carpenter]

and run inside to the next building,

[Will Friedle]

that's when we find ourselves in a big clothing factory, like a cleaning factory. As the kids hide, the pawn shop guys follow close behind and promise they just want a reasonable conversation.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And the camera. So they do yell, we need the camera.

[Will Friedle]

The kids decide to ride on one of those conveyor clothing belts that you'd find at a dry cleaners while hanging in jumpsuits, which, if you go back and watch again, they're all just regular hangers. So there's no way in hell that

[Sabrina Carpenter]

would actually hold up.

[Will Friedle]

Tiny Tiny turns around just in time to catch them, but he can't reach.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

His name is Tiny, after all.

[Will Friedle]

The kids successfully escape, riding into another room, then running away. They hit a dead end, and there's only one way out. It's down through a closed chute. So one by one, they grab the chain and jump down. And each actor they had doing it

[Sabrina Carpenter]

was obviously a stunt person.

[Will Friedle]

Is like, hitting the wall on the

[Sabrina Carpenter]

way down, which was crazy.

[Will Friedle]

The pawn shop guys hear some commotion and continue the chase. But when Lola throws a bag of clothes at them, they fall onto a metal slide, leaving them bagged with dirty laundry, then sent into a spin cycle. Very home alone kind of vibes here.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And just was getting very young.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes, very young.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, very.

[Will Friedle]

Lola then jumps down, joining her friends. They all head out while the bad dudes are occupied. It is time to sell that ticket. Lola then jumps down, joining her friends. They all head out while the bad dudes are occupied.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's time to sell that ticket.

[Will Friedle]

We're now outside the concert venue or the local fair. You can't really tell which one. Lola gives AJ her camera and tells her to guard it with her life while she tries to sell the ticket. Bobby's still thinking about his cupcakes. Maybe they need some spice. Trey places his jacket on the bench and tells Jenny to use it like a real gentleman. But instead, Katie plops down and thanks Troy. Nearby, AJ Is practicing some advanced derby moves, and Lola is soliciting possible ticket buyers hiding behind some merch. Nearby are Tiny and the Ninja. They caught up with the kids and are ready to strike. But just then, a police officer confronts Lola. It's illegal to sell tickets outside the venue. But good news. The presence of the cops at least does scare away Tiny, Tiny and the other guy.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I can't keep saying the ninja.

[Will Friedle]

The officer then takes Lola away. Jenny sees it all unfold and of course, panics because, oh, God, now one

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of them has been arrested.

[Will Friedle]

We're now at the police station. Jenny and the kids arrive only to find out Lola is getting booked and telling a skeptical cop all about Tiny and the ninja and the ferret in the interrogation room, which of course sounds like a ridiculous story. He reminds her that lying to an officer is also a crime. Bobby is worried that he won't find the perfect ingredient in time for the contest. While AJ Is pining for her roller derby team and Trey realizes he's missing

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the biggest concert of the year.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny tells everyone to stop whining so she can focus on what to do next. And that's when she notices that Emily has dyed her hair green, which I

[Sabrina Carpenter]

thought it was going to be shaved, so that's not nearly as bad.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny's not happy and spirals because everything's getting worse. She kind of takes it out on

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Emily, who then gets upset and pouts in her seat and is clearly feeling very much alone.

[Will Friedle]

But now we're back in the interrogation room. The police officer mentions Lola has an

[Sabrina Carpenter]

extensive record, which really, she doesn't. She's just parking tickets, which is what she points out.

[Will Friedle]

They're parking tickets, not bank robberies. And then rookie McDreamy officer James, the flirty officer that gave Lola the ticket earlier, arrives to help. He walks in and looks right at the camera and says, I'm only 20.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

He doesn't budget.

[Will Friedle]

Back in the lobby, the police have taken a bunch of roller derby players into custody because of disorderly conduct. And AJ can't believe her eyes. It's her favorite player, Jaylor Swift. Quick, Sabrina, what would your roller derby name be?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Ooh, Slick Slider. I think I would. Wow. I think I would kind of just. I've seen roller derbys. They're wild.

[Will Friedle]

That's awesome. Slick Slider is great.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't think I'd be able to. Yeah, Slick Slider.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Sabrina, that's great. I'd be Willpower.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I feel like you've used that before because it's awesome.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, what do you want me to do? That'd be my awesome name all the way around.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Willpower.

[Will Friedle]

AJ Approaches her hero and shows her a move she's been practicing for six months. Jailer is impressed and tells AJ to work on her technique. Then, just like that, AJ successfully performs the corrected move, impressing jailer and her teammates even more. Emily is still sulking when she notices a sleeping man with a phone in his hand. While he's catching some Z's, she creeps

[Sabrina Carpenter]

up and takes it.

[Will Friedle]

At the gala, Mrs. Cooper's phone is ringing, but she doesn't notice.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

She's too focused on being social.

[Will Friedle]

Back at the police station again. Again, a lot of cuts. It was Emily calling Mrs. Cooper. She leaves a voicemail, begging for help, detailing the situation and that they're all in city jail. Yikes. But before she can finish, the sleeping man is woken up and takes his phone. Back in the interrogation room, flirty Officer McJames.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

That's what I'm calling from now on.

[Will Friedle]

Now alone with Lola, agrees, other than the parking tickets, she's cleaning. But he wonders what kind of an example she's setting for Those kids. She confesses that she lied. She isn't even the real babysitter and she knows nothing about Beethoven. Her grades weren't good enough to get into art school, but now she has a chance to get a photography internship with her idol that could change her life. She apologizes for lying and tells him he's cute. He lets her go, of course, because why not? Pretty girl can't arrest her and walks her back to her friends who are

[Sabrina Carpenter]

excited to see her. AJ Takes a picture with the roller

[Will Friedle]

derby team, leading to another fight amongst the teams at the police station, which then turns into chaos. The kids decide to leave the station. The cops actually rush them out because

[Sabrina Carpenter]

it is a big brawl.

[Will Friedle]

We're now outside the station. The pawn shop guys are across the street, still here. And notice AJ still has the camera. Jenny has had enough. This has gotten well out of hand. She thinks they should just call the parents. But the kids all scream no. And as the group argues, Tiny now creeps up and quietly tries to take the camera from AJ but instead of rolling over, she does the roller derby trick she's been practicing. Practicing and knocks Tiny down. All this happens within a foot of all the other people and no one notices anything. AJ screams, but Jenny and Lola are too busy fighting to notice, so she skates off with Tiny. And now Ninja close behind. We also see that Tiny has dropped his keys. Bobby has noticed AJ Is gone and finally alerts the babysitter. They pick up the car keys and let's just say, borrow Tiny's car. Now we're outside the Met Gala again, or whatever kind of gal it is. Mrs. Cooper can't believe her husband is making her leave the gala because of some prank again. A message from their kids saying, we're in jail, everything's awful. And the mom is like, I can't believe you'd believe that. I mean, Mr. Cooper says Emily sounded terrified, but Mrs. Cooper promises nothing has happened. What kind of kid pranks their parents by saying, we're having a horrible night,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

we're stuck in jail.

[Will Friedle]

And what kind of mom is like, I can't believe you'd make me leave for that. She was the worst mom in this whole movie, bar none.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Terrible character.

[Sabrina Bryan]

We haven't had a bad mom on the list in a while.

[Will Friedle]

She's a bad mom, but an even worse wife. She just. She just bashed this husband the whole movie. Like, you're an, oh, I had to babysit all night because my husband's an idiot. Like, that kind.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It was like, yeah, it was terrible. So, yeah, I'm putting her. I'm officially nominating her on the list.

[Sabrina Bryan]

All right.

[Will Friedle]

And now inside the car, something's definitely happening. They drive after AJ on her skates, and they're spotted by an out of breath Tiny, who's trying to run on the streets, but he sees that they've taken his car. They also spot AJ who's weaving in and out of people and almost hit the ninja on his bike. But in the process, Lola drops her cell phone in the car. We're now back again.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Lots going on.

[Will Friedle]

Back outside the gala, Mrs. Anderson is about to give a big speech when her cell phone rings. Lola has accidentally called her. In the middle of the chase, Mrs. Anderson tells the audience it's her babysitter and answers, which is what a mom should do. Lola thinks quick on her toes and says she's just checking in, everything's fine. Mrs. Anderson tells the audience everything's fine and goes back to her speech. But back in the car, nothing is in fact fine. Just as Mrs. Cooper complains about missing their best friend's speech, she sees a kid roller skating down the street. It's AJ they don't notice it though. They just believe that it's some little girl roller skating on their own. And who would let their kids roller

[Sabrina Carpenter]

skate in the city alone?

[Will Friedle]

Back inside Tiny's car, still filled with all the kids. They have their eyes on AJ and she's headed for some picnic tables. She quickly jumps on them, knocking everybody's food off while screaming, sorry. Finally, the bad guy wipes out and the kids stop the car to grab aj. They run away and leave the car behind to sneak in a side door, closing it on Tiny and the ninja.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

At the very last second, the kids

[Will Friedle]

have now found themselves backstage in a packed nightclub.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Sorry, I just need a breather. There's a lot going on, but this is so fast.

[Will Friedle]

Again, straight from the original movie, where

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Elizabeth Shue and the kids find themselves on stage at a blues club.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny pushes through the curtain, shocked at what she sees, then accidentally unplugs a wire. Everything, including the dj shuts down. Now in total silence, Jenny, Lola, and all the kids are standing on stage. The crowd is staring right back at them. Jenny says sorry and tries to walk off, but the DJ tells her to stop. She can't go anywhere. She's got a quote. Spill her rage and start rapping. She pushes back. No way she's going to rap. But eventually, she gives in to pressure. It gets very eight Mile quickly. She's nervous, but eventually gets into it and the kids all chime in, breaking down everything that's happening during the night.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Which again is exactly what happens during the original adventures of babysitting. She has to sing the blues and she's singing the babysitter blues. It was cute in that movie.

[Will Friedle]

Then Lola jumps in and we have a real rap battle, but they're really just talking. Not sure I'd call it rap. What did you think of the rap

[Sabrina Carpenter]

battle on the electric slide in this kind of entire scene?

[Will Friedle]

Did you find this cringey at all?

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't want to say cringy. It just was kind of. I mean, at this point, like you said, we're bouncing, we're moving, we're going. There's a million sets. I kept thinking like, how many days did they have for shooting this decom? Because usually it's like what, like six weeks, seven weeks? It doesn't seem like they usually do that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like this movie just. There's so many different sets. We're bouncing, we're moving. At this point, I'm just kind of like. It makes sense. I think the audience, obviously there's a built in fan base audience that loves both of these girls who both sing like. So there's like a. This is the moment that makes sense for them. But the fact that it started rapping, I was like, what? Like, that was so strange to me. That that's the turn we took. I expected. Once we get into the club, I'm like, oh, here we go.

[Will Friedle]

They're gonna sing. I thought the same thing. Yes.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'm okay with it because I love both of them.

[Will Friedle]

Hell yes, I was looking.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes. We got a little preview of when Jenny or Sabrina's in the car and she's singing to the song. Get a little preview of that. Hear them already singing. I was ready for it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Me too.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Then we hit the curveball with the rap and I'm like, this isn't showcasing the talent that I was thinking we were getting.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I thought exactly the same thing.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But it was also kind of already where we're going. I felt like I was just like very frenetic. Very frenetic dryer of my drying machine. Just going, yep, this is okay.

[Will Friedle]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

We keep going. We keep going down.

[Will Friedle]

I thought this was a waste of talent. But you know who didn't? The crowd. Who loves it?

[Sabrina Bryan]

The crowd loved it.

[Will Friedle]

So they do.

[Chiquis]

And.

[Will Friedle]

But oh, who arrives now? Tiny and ninja again. These guys are so annoying. They went through the front door. Jenny spots them and they all run away. Yes. Have them or have real danger or something. Yeah, but the two pawn shop guys jump on stage, and now it's their

[Sabrina Carpenter]

turn to drop the quote unquote facts.

[Will Friedle]

Outside the club now, the kids file out the back door, and Jenny can't believe she just wrapped. AJ Calls her cool, and Trey agrees. Emily is not impressed. She didn't end world hunger, people.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

That's what she says.

[Will Friedle]

At the police station. Now the Coopers have arrived, checking to see if anyone's seen their kids. But all they get are laughs from the cops, which seem rude because there were kids in there. They're like, kids? We never have kids in here.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You literally just had nine kids in your thing.

[Will Friedle]

Yet we're back on the sidewalk again. Jenny apologized to Emily about what she said at the police station. Even though it's been an awful night, there's no reason to take it out on her and hurt her feelings, which is very nice. Emily calls herself an invisible dork, but Jenny argues she's not invisible.

[Yo Castro]

She's beautiful.

[Will Friedle]

And she doesn't need green hair or

[Sabrina Carpenter]

tattoos to get noticed.

[Will Friedle]

Being herself is enough, and if Trey doesn't see that, that's his loss. Besides.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And they look over and the guys are dancing. Boys are dorks, which is very funny.

[Will Friedle]

Emily agrees and hugs Jenny. But there is something she should probably tell her. We're now on another New York City block. The Coopers wonder if Emily meant the North Park Police Station. Mrs. Cooper's just tired and her feet

[Sabrina Carpenter]

hurt because again, she sucks.

[Will Friedle]

We're now back with the kids. AJ Reveals to Jenny that she left a message saying they were in trouble. And just like that, they all know they're screwed. And then, just a staircase away, Mrs. Cooper spots a girl who looks like Emily. But Mr. Cooper points out that that girl has green hair, so that can't be Emily. So they get in the cab and they head back to the gala, I

[Sabrina Carpenter]

think, because why actually find your kids?

[Will Friedle]

And now, a few feet away from that, Jenny has Emily call the parents back to tell them it was a prank. But when she does, Mrs. Cooper notices the phone, says El Perez. And since she doesn't know who it is, she doesn't answer. If your kids are missing and you were just at the police station trying to find them and something's going on, how would you not pick up that phone call?

[Sabrina Bryan]

This is a Sabrina Sees. Why aren't you calling the babysitter? Why have you not called the babysitter? Why have you not called Jenny? Who knows the babysitter? Why have you not called anyone that's at the actual house.

[Will Friedle]

Nope.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No. It doesn't make any sense. The whole parents part was ridiculous.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes, eventually they do. But that would be my first thing.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Let me call my babysitter.

[Will Friedle]

This is one of the big problems.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Let me call my neighbor who lives up on the street. Yes. Aj, can you walk over to the house? Because I just got a really weird phone call. I'm trying to get home, but I'm still 30 minutes away.

[Will Friedle]

How hard is that? How hard is that? Agreed with you 100%.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I'm calling my dad, who lives 30 minutes away from me, being like, I don't know, if you could get there quicker, get over there. It'll be peace of mind.

[Will Friedle]

Please.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It.

[Will Friedle]

There's something there with. One of the main problems with this movie was making it two families and two babysitters. Means you have to track two sets

[Sabrina Carpenter]

of parents on the adventure.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

Again, original adventure, babysitting one family.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You just have to stick with those

[Will Friedle]

parents and find out how do we keep them away. This way you got to keep two. And one of the ways they did it is they're both at the gala. Yeah, it's a little. I mean, again, I get why they did it. Because you wanted the two dueling babysitters. Good idea. Great idea. Especially when you can cast Sabrina Carpenter and Sophia Carson.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Absolutely. One of the families probably should have been out of town, so they weren't able to come back. So be interesting.

[Will Friedle]

But this was just very.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, you're just.

[Will Friedle]

You're trying to do too much.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And so that's why we keep having to cut back to this, to that, to this, to that.

[Will Friedle]

And you're cutting 50 times and a 93 minute movie.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You're exhausted. By the time this movie's over, you are exhausted.

[Will Friedle]

And again, it's not bad. That's not a bad thing.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But there are.

[Will Friedle]

It's.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There's a lot going on.

[Sabrina Bryan]

There's a lot going on and things are starting to slip through the holes with the light.

[Will Friedle]

And this is where it gets a

[Sabrina Carpenter]

little even more absurd.

[Will Friedle]

Emily suggests going to the gala to erase the voicemail before their family hears it. But Jenny doesn't think they even have

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the money to get there.

[Will Friedle]

Katie reveals there's a hundred dollar bill in her mom's fancy coat jacket. So now they have to go to the gala to get it. But again, they don't have the money to get there.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

As they arrive inside the gala, Jenny realizes both the Andersons and the Coopers are there. So if she's Caught. She'll never get that recommendation letter. And then finally, in another weird twist, the pawn shop guys find the invite for the gala, so they head over there too. This is where the movie started to

[Sabrina Carpenter]

go completely off the rails.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes. This is where I sort of got, like, you sort of lost me for a bit.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, I agree.

[Will Friedle]

Bobby smells impressive food and Trey spots the coat room. They sneak over through the kitchen where they see the chefs arguing. One sprays chocolate in the other's face and quits throwing his hat in the air, which Bobby catches. The event planner is freaking out. What's taking so long for dessert? And just like that, Bobby steps in and essentially becomes the head chef of

[Sabrina Carpenter]

this Met Gala thing.

[Will Friedle]

And this is where I was like, really? He couldn't have walked over to a regular chef and been like, you should have tried this ingredient or something where it's not. This little kid is then surrounded by everyone in the kitchen, and they're like,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

he's the head chef now.

[Will Friedle]

It was so. It's getting so ridiculous that it's like, it's far fetched.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's a little too much for me.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Me too.

[Sabrina Bryan]

And yes, I think especially kids, like, the kids do. Some kids really do fall in love with, like, cooking and things like that. So there is this, like, amazing.

[Will Friedle]

My nephew. My nephew's one.

[Sabrina Bryan]

To. To actually have a kid running a kitchen is very cool idea.

[Will Friedle]

Great idea. Make it its own movie.

[Sabrina Bryan]

That they. Yes, make it its own movie. But it's just weird that, like, it just happened so easily.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, No, I. This.

[Sabrina Bryan]

They just basically were like, oh, there's a kid here. You're our new chef.

[Will Friedle]

You're in charge.

[Diego]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

And now. And they're going to the gala.

[Sabrina Bryan]

30 adults around.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. They're going to the gala to try to erase the phone call and get

[Sabrina Bryan]

money out of the.

[Will Friedle]

And get money.

[Sabrina Bryan]

We're starting to.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

But hey, listen. I sung a dog out of a hole.

[Will Friedle]

Exactly. I get it. I get it. I didn't know what the pre.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I didn't know what the White House was.

[Will Friedle]

I get it. It happens. I was the devil's minion who had

[Sabrina Carpenter]

to buy the soul of a hockey player. I get it.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Here. We're here. Let's.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

This is what we're doing. This is what we're doing.

[Sabrina Bryan]

This is what we're doing.

[Will Friedle]

This is what we're doing. We're in. We're in. It's so true. Meanwhile, Katie and Jenny head to the coat room for the $100. Do you keep hidden cash with you when you draw.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I never have cash. Ever.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Ever.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No, ever.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I hate when Jordan, when we like Vala and Jordan looks at me and goes, hey, I, I don't have cash. He always does. He has cash on him all the time. Hey, do you have $5? And I always look at him like, why do you even ask me?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, it's just the opposite. In our family, we go to valet somewhere.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like my wallet into places now because I Apple pay everything. Like I don't even take my wallet in most of the time now.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Never have cash.

[Bowen Yang]

Imagine never having to buy gas again. Sounds like a dream. Except it's real. That's everyday life with an electric vehicle. No long lines at the pump. Just plug in at home and go. EVs are as easy to charge as your phone and built for real life. Most Americans drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a single charge. And with fewer moving parts, you've got fewer repairs and style. There are hundreds of new and used EV models to choose from. An EV to fit every lifestyle and every budget. Learn [e-mail] hey, I'm Freddie Prinze Jr.

It helps to have backup, like real life backup, the kind you can call when life throws you something unexpected. That's when I recommend you reach out to your State Farm agent. They can help you choose the coverage you need before anything happens. And they're ready to help you file a claim when it does.

[Will Friedle]

Mr. And Mrs. Cooper return to the gala to grab their coats and go home. Jenny and Katie see them and know they need to hurry up. They find the jacket, but before they can get the money, the coat lady grabs it away. Mrs. Cooper herself retrieves her fancy $100 bill jacket and decide she's getting dessert. Since the Coopers know what Jenny looks like, they have to dress Lola up in heels in a faux fur to go inside and steal the money right from Mrs. Cooper. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Bobby is now Gordon Ramsay, and he's taste testing everything. Nothing's working. Someone brings him seaweed, and he agrees that's the secret ingredient he's been looking for.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because, yeah, when you need something, it's seaweed.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Was that my final straw? That was my final straw. Yeah.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Seaweed on moose.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Seaweed on a chocolate moose.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And everyone's like, yes, this is it awful now. Well, now he thinks it's perfect.

[Will Friedle]

And just then, Tiny and the ninja arrive. These guys arrive back at the gala and tell security they're the kids on pole. Yeah, but everyone is suspicious. We're now in the gala ballroom. Lola is trying to be inconspicuous, but is fumbling in the heels. She ends up sitting next to Mrs. Cooper and faking a British accent. Just as Tiny and the ninja spot the kids, Lola examines the fancy coat and drops it to the ground. While picking it up, she ravishes through the coat pocket, first finding a 20,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

which I'm pretty sure she pockets, and

[Will Friedle]

then finding the hundred, which she pockets.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

So she needed the hundred, but also took the 20.

[Will Friedle]

With that, Lola says goodbye and leaves. Tidy and Ninja have finally found Jenny and try grabbing the camera from her, but Jenny fights back. Katie stomps on his toes and during the melee, they successfully get away. Then the ferret pops out of Ninja's jacket. Remember the ferret? He apparently takes him everywhere. The little rodent fully jumps out of the coat and runs into the party, causing everyone to run and scream. Tiny and the ninja recapture the purple ferret, but security ends up arresting the guys before they can reunite with the animal. And I think that's pretty much the

[Sabrina Carpenter]

end of that storyline.

[Will Friedle]

We're now back in the kitchen. AJ is fast asleep in roller skates. And again, at this point, I feel like I'm.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I'm four hours into this movie. There's just so much going on.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It is.

[Will Friedle]

It's. AJ is. And again, it's not bad. It's just. There's a lot going on.

[Sabrina Bryan]

It's just taxing. It's just like it is. My goodness. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. A.J. is fast asleep in roller skates, laying on a rack of food. Trey hopes they aren't missing anything and

[Sabrina Carpenter]

wonders why Emily colored her hair.

[Will Friedle]

Emily says because she's boring. But Trey doesn't agree. He thinks she's pretty cool. And then Jenny and Lola run in.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's time to go. Nice cock. Block Jenny.

[Will Friedle]

At the police station, flirty officer McJames gets a call about a big fat guy named Tiny. A tall skinny guy in a hood and a sapphire ferret. And yes, he believes it because he

[Sabrina Carpenter]

wants to hook up with that 19 year old girl that he pulled over 20.

[Will Friedle]

But he's a. I'm a rookie. I'm a rookie. Outside the gala, Lola can't believe everything that's happened. They all agree they made a pretty good team. Lola admits, I totally see why that guy asked you to the concert.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Jenny's confused. What guy?

[Will Friedle]

Lola thinks his name was Zeke. Jenny can't believe Zach Chase asked her to the concert. That would have only been the single most important night of her life. She asked Lola what she said. Lola says she may have implied that Jenny wasn't interested.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Jenny is beside herself.

[Will Friedle]

Why would she do that? Lola said she was distracted by Officer McDreamy and tells Jenny it's not too late. She calls for a taxi now with $100 in her hand. Maybe that's what the 20's for.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I don't know.

[Will Friedle]

At the gala, Tiny and Ninja are arrested by Officer McJames.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

McDreamy, McGuy, who probably has washboard abs,

[Will Friedle]

who says they won't be kidnapping any more exotic animals on his watch.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Another guard is caressing the ferret. Not a euphemism.

[Will Friedle]

Mrs. Anderson tells her husband about a new voicemail from their alarm company. And now the babysitter isn't answering. Hey, that could mean something. He tells her to try the home phone, but we cut to a messy, empty house. No one picks up the phone.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And the dog is still licking up the food.

[Will Friedle]

At least they tried to call their family.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The other lady did not.

[Will Friedle]

We're now back outside the concert. The kids arrive but don't have a ticket. Lola says she'll handle this and ask the security guard, what's it gonna take for all of them to get near the concert. And again, this came off as creepy

[Sabrina Carpenter]

and weird to me. I'm sorry. It just did. I don't know if my mind went to a creepy place, but that sounded creepy to me.

[Will Friedle]

He says. Her camera. Lola takes out the memory card and gives up her beloved camera to make things right.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

And then they all walk in to the concert.

[Will Friedle]

Jenny thinks she looks like a mess, so with the help of Katie in

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the bathroom, she transforms into a concert

[Will Friedle]

ready cool looking chick. But she still doesn't think she can do it. Lola tells her to look at everything she did tonight. Went to jail, stole a car, crashed a gala and fought off criminals.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Talking to a boy should be easy.

[Will Friedle]

But just as she finds the guts, the concert's over. Everyone's rushing out. Jenny's trying to find Zack in the crowd, calling out his name. And magically she ends up on stage and spots him. He's shocked to see her. She admits someone else had her phone or she would have went to the concert with her. He joins her on stage and tells her she looks beautiful, but she has to go. He insists he'll go with her. Dominique, that don't get me started. Already left with her boyfriend. What a tramp. This girl is just hopping from one guy to the next.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Dominique was probably fine. She didn't even have a line.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Poor Dominique. I'm sure she's a nice girl.

[Will Friedle]

Uh huh, uh huh.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Don't.

[Will Friedle]

Don't try that with me, Sabrina. The kids run in to find Jenny and introduces everybody to Zack. Lola reveals she got a missed call from Mrs. Anderson and they listen to her concerned voicemail together. Jenny thinks all the parents are probably on their way home by now and she's bummed she ignored the most important rule of you never put a boy

[Sabrina Carpenter]

before you put the kids.

[Will Friedle]

Lola says it's her fault. She should never have taken the job

[Sabrina Carpenter]

because she thought babysitting was easy.

[Will Friedle]

But it's not. The kids list off everything they've done tonight too. They also have something to lose. And so in this together they run

[Sabrina Carpenter]

off for the tow yard.

[Will Friedle]

But as they arrive the tow lady's locking up the gate. They try to stop her but she insists they're closed. Jenny isn't taken no for an answer. And this is the line that they

[Sabrina Carpenter]

took from the original one.

[Will Friedle]

In the original one the kids are

[Sabrina Carpenter]

on a subway and a gang comes up to her and they take a

[Will Friedle]

knife out and they throw the knife

[Sabrina Carpenter]

into the kid's foot in front of her, the kid Keith Coogan's foot and say don't with the lords from hell. And she picks up the knife, pulls it from his foot and puts it in his face and goes don't with the babysitter.

[Will Friedle]

And that's where the F. So it

[Sabrina Carpenter]

must have been two.

[Will Friedle]

You must be allowed two F words for the.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

For PG 13.

[Will Friedle]

So that was their, their nod was

[Sabrina Carpenter]

don't mess with the babysitter.

[Will Friedle]

Because seeing Sabrina Carpenter in decom saying don't with the babysitter probably wasn't going to work. So they grab her keys and haul her to the gate. And now they got the car. It's time to race home. The dirty SUV pulls up at the Anderson's house. Jenny tells Trey to get the hose and rinse off the car. Everyone else goes inside to change into their pajamas quickly but they're greeted by a huge mess. Once inside.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh.

[Will Friedle]

Lola gives everyone a task to clean up as quickly as possible. Because we cut to the parents and literally the parents say hey, how long is it going to take us to get home? 15 minutes. Because they wanted to put a clock on it. Which was a scene we didn't need.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Should have just been somebody Going.

[Will Friedle]

We don't know when the parents are getting home clean up as fast as possible, but the Andersons are going to be home in 15 minutes. The kids finally finish cleaning and Bobby makes a ton of cupcakes. With time to spare. Knowing it's time to leave, Trey and Emily tell Lola and Jenny that they're both awesome babysitters. It's been the coolest night of their lives. Everyone agrees and the babysitters leave. And just as Jenny pulls away, the andersons pull up. Mrs. Anderson is happy to see the house isn't on fire. And Lola jumps on the couch to casually read a magazine as they walk in. Almost a shot for shot remake of

[Sabrina Carpenter]

the original Adventures in Baby City.

[Will Friedle]

Lola says things couldn't have gone better. The kids were angels. And at the Cooper's house, Mrs. Cooper thanks Jenny for everything. Jenny swears it was no trouble at all. And with that out of the way, we're still on a nearby neighborhood street. Lola gets pulled over by the cops again. And it's Officer McFlurdy guy who asked the high schooler out this Saturday night.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Or somebody who looks like she's in high school. Hopefully she's just a college dropout. This hey, so am I. This all seems very morally ambiguous to me, but that's just trust me, I'm getting old. And so I judge.

[Will Friedle]

At the Cooper's house, Jenny is getting into her car when Zach pulls up to return Emily's headphones. He admits he kept them just so he can return them and see Jenny, Emily and Katie scream out the window. Ask her out. Ask him out.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Which again take off from the original movie.

[Will Friedle]

And the guy they were asking out

[Sabrina Carpenter]

was again our good friend George Newburn in the original movie.

[Will Friedle]

They both ask each other out and say yes and we end up at the internship building, still not done. Jenny arrives and Lola's there too. Jenny admits she's late because she needed sleep after her date with Zach last night.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

What the does that mean?

[Will Friedle]

Lola says whoever is picked up for the internship, she's okay. I mean, just weird to say that I needed a lot of sleep after

[Sabrina Carpenter]

my date with Zach last night. That's a weird line to throw out.

[Will Friedle]

Yep, it is.

[Sabrina Bryan]

In a decom.

[Will Friedle]

In a decom. Yes. It's a weird lie. You just don't need it.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Like that deserves a follow up question.

[Will Friedle]

Thank you.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh really?

[Will Friedle]

Really. What happened there?

[Sabrina Bryan]

I know, sorry.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Yeah, no, I hear you. It is absolutely crazy.

[Will Friedle]

But Jenny admits this internship isn't her passion. She called earlier and withdrew her application. She's taking the summer off to have some free time. Which brings up the question, why? Why was she there anyway? Lola asked Jenny if she can get some help with school applications and Jenny says sure.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Friends help friends.

[Will Friedle]

Lola admits she's retiring from babysitting and they both laugh. Jenny asks Lola for the pictures from the other night and Lola promises to send them to everyone. With that, Jenny hands Lola her portfolio and they'll see each other soon. Lola opens the folder and it's pictures of the two of them. The portfolio close and it reads the end. That's when Wildside plays as Lola uploads all the videos we see, remembering the crazy night. Just like the Hangover. And that's our movie.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I'm exhausted.

[Will Friedle]

Can we do some real reviews?

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes we can. We will get through these. This is a one star from Thunder King 6.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Hell yeah.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Kind of scared of this one, are you?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The first five Thunder Kings were awesome.

[Sabrina Bryan]

How dare they tarnish the legend. This was disrespectful. Bad actors, horrible camera quality, cheap environments, cliche, annoying characters, crappy soundtrack. This was a grade A hash. No other show or movie has been called a grade A hash before Thunder King 6.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It's a little harsh.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Take a seat. It's a little harsh and just you are disrespectful.

[Will Friedle]

That's a little harsh. I have the five star review. This is from Naijuko. This movie is a really good movie. I've watched it a few times and each time I enjoyed watching it. I plan on watching this movie again very soon because I just love to watch it. I like every movie I've seen that is either Sophia or Sabrina in it. But I'll still come back to this movie. I really look forward to watching this movie again very soon. I just can't wait for that moment. Five stars and now we come to our favorite portion of the program, and we're gonna get through this fast, people,

[Sabrina Carpenter]

because we know this has been a

[Will Friedle]

long episode talking about babysitting, but we need to make us feel a little worse about ourselves. So this feature is called Sit that Baby. In conjunction with Jenny's rules for babysitting, we'll be given a rule for babysitting according to kidsit.com not googling that. And we have to decide if it's true or not. These are babysitter rules that all parents should enforce. Okay, three out of five wins. Who are we playing with today? You get Lisa. Hey, Lisa. All right, so the number one rule. True or false. Number one, instruct your babysitter to keep all family matters private unless you think it can affect your pay for the night.

[Sabrina Bryan]

We have to decide if this is a.

[Will Friedle]

If it's true or false from kidsit.com I say that's false.

[Sabrina Bryan]

That's gotta be false. It is false.

[Will Friedle]

Never gossip about the family.

[Yo Castro]

It sounds like a mob.

[Will Friedle]

It does.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

It does.

[Will Friedle]

Never talk about the family. All right, so, hey, we're one for one. Number two, establish guidelines for all appliances to prevent accidents. I'd say that's true. That seems pretty normal. True, true. All right, two for two. Number three, avoid talking about sexuality, death, Santa or politics. I'd say that's probably true.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I have it as false. They did not say politics.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, that's a cheat.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I didn't write this.

[Will Friedle]

I know.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I'm giving that to us.

[Will Friedle]

That's. That's three. We're in there.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

You can't do that.

[Will Friedle]

Number four, in an emergency, call the parents cell phone first.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

True.

[Sabrina Bryan]

True. False. You call 911. Call 911. Damn.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, I guess an emergency. That makes sense. Okay, okay, number five, Let them fall asleep at least five to ten minutes later than normal to make them feel

[Sabrina Carpenter]

like it's a special night.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, I can see that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because then they'll be happy the babysitter's coming.

[Will Friedle]

I say yes.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

True.

[Sabrina Bryan]

True. I have it as false. Oh, I don't need children. When were these rules written, though?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I don't know. I'm still gonna say we won. So there.

[Will Friedle]

Did we get all the Sabrina sees?

[Sabrina Bryan]

We got most of them. Except I did have one question that I wanted to clear up with you. Is it breaking? So in the very, very early on, when they're both in their cars and Jenny lip syncs the song, that's obviously Sabrina and Sophia's song, right? When she lip syncs it. Is that because it's her singing her own song.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh, I have no idea.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Is that breaking the fourth wall?

[Will Friedle]

That's like breaking the sixth wall when

[Sabrina Carpenter]

you're singing your own song.

[Will Friedle]

I don't even know how that works.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I was like, what is that? I just kind of. It wasn't like she didn't look in the camera, but like, that's what I was like. What would that be considered anyway? That's something to think about. Right?

[Will Friedle]

Okay. Yep.

[Sabrina Bryan]

The sapphire ferret was spray painted or what?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Like, it must have been.

[Will Friedle]

They just dyed the fur because I

[Sabrina Carpenter]

don't think it's a real thing.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yeah, yeah. And then I had the hangers. Was the. But you did speak about that. But everything else we talked about. But the hangers really killed me. It made me. That was like, that's.

[Will Friedle]

They're not holding you up.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Come on. We had to. We couldn't have think of anything else other than that.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

But those aren't holding you up. Those aren't holding you up.

[Sabrina Bryan]

That killed me. And that was it.

[Will Friedle]

All right. It is short and sweet because we hit it all.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Because this is a nine hour episode.

[Will Friedle]

This episode is longer than the movie by far. I love how ironically I'm the one who's like 90 minutes. And then I'll be like, here's our 48,000 hour podcast. All right, so this week we're going to score this movie one to ten. We're going to make ten the best this week because we're hurrying through it. Our options are 1 to 10 Keith Coogan, babysitter movies, car eyelashes, polished tires, repeat dcom plot points, 1 to 10 problematic cops, henna tattoo auras, floozy dominiques, 1 to 10 rage spilled talk battle wraps, seaweed ingredients, 1 to 10 purple rare ferrets, or 1 to 10 psychic rockets. And I think I get to pick

[Sabrina Carpenter]

this time, don't I?

[Will Friedle]

I am absolutely going with floozy Dominiques. Dare she? I also think I do I go first this time.

[Sabrina Bryan]

You could go first. I care.

[Will Friedle]

I don't remember. No. Yeah, because the honey I shrunk the kids.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I went second and gave it a 10.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Oh, that's right.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. Okay, so this movie's not as good as the original.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No movies are.

[Will Friedle]

Or very few. So I'm not trying to hold it

[Sabrina Carpenter]

to the same standard as a PG13 that stars the one of the women that made me just fall in love with the world. So clearly not, you know, can't do that.

[Will Friedle]

That being said, the movie's incredibly frenetic.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

There's A lot going on. There's too much going on.

[Will Friedle]

The storylines get. Get muddled.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

The cast is great.

[Will Friedle]

It's still fun. So this is not overall, not a bad movie. Am I going to score this a 10?

[Sabrina Carpenter]

No, of course not.

[Will Friedle]

But I'm also not going to score this A4. This was not this.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Just the cast alone is worth several points in this movie.

[Will Friedle]

So I think I'm. I'm fair in saying this is a solid 6.5 to a soft 7.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Okay.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

For. For a dcom this movie. And. And I think. Think that's.

[Will Friedle]

I don't think that's being generous and

[Sabrina Carpenter]

I don't think that's being harsh.

[Will Friedle]

I think with the storyline and with the writing, with some of the stuff that needed to be changed with.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

With the bumbling guys after them, which,

[Will Friedle]

again, it's a dcom. I get it.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

They have to bring it down, but

[Will Friedle]

they could have ratcheted up a little

[Sabrina Carpenter]

bit more than they did. They didn't have to go straight wacky. I think I'm fair with 6.5 to 7.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Yes, I agree.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Oh, by the way, floozy, floozy Dominiques.

[Sabrina Bryan]

I agree. I think same the issues I had, the chaotic going back and forth, I kind of just sank into because that was the demo that they were apparently wanting to go for, and it was what it is. And I'm watching a lot of obviously, movies with my kids more that have that just constant go. So I sank into that level. I thought the two girls were so great. I would love to see them in. I would 100% watch anything that the two of them were in. I love them that much. That being said, if I see another freaking movie with them and they're not singing together, I'm gonna lose my. All right. So that needs to be. That needs to be. Second, that emotion documented. I would have given it an 8 had that happened, but instead I'm gonna do a 7 because I didn't need a rap battle for them. I needed eight sing off or something that they performed.

[Will Friedle]

I agree.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Both of them are phenomenal, and I needed that a little bit. I thought you would get it in a movie with the two of them.

[Will Friedle]

Seven.

[Sabrina Bryan]

What? Seven floozy Dominiques in her favor. She did nothing wrong. She seemed like a sweet girl. She didn't. She didn't do anything.

[Will Friedle]

They always do.

[Sabrina Bryan]

She was just a good friend.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, so for. Thank you, everybody, first of all, for. For sticking with us. But anyway, for our next movie, we don't have to go very deep for our deep dive because we're tackling a 2023 coming of age comedy, the Slumber Party. This was produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, which is very exciting. It is available to stream on Disney, so impress us with a little prep on your end. So thank you so much for joining us on this adventure in podcasting.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

See what I just did there, Sabrina,

[Will Friedle]

thank you very much. We really appreciate it and we will see you next time.

[Sabrina Carpenter]

Next time. Bye everybody.

[Sabrina Bryan]

Bye.
