There is no babysitter.
Ever.
This post is inspired from seeing one celebrating 'Don't tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead'..which I had zero experience with, and nobody mentioned the title so I had to look up a quote about dishes being done, man. 😂
LOVED this movie S.F.W., resonated with me then (18) and now (45). Surprised to learn it had almost no public reception/impact at large and was panned by the critics. Oh Well. So Fucking What. 🤟🏼 It Rocks, in so many ways, and the music is Killer.
If you have not seen it, find it and do so!

This is super interesting and I will seek it out. Never heard of this. Don't Tell Mom was on HBO so much that it was a little babysitter itself.

I love this movie. I've tried to tell people to watch it, but even describing it, it sounds like a low-budget fever dream.

They probably just think everything matters.

S.F.W. is IMO a great time capsule of mid-90s pre-internet media sensationalism and the stereotyping of youth culture. It is one of those movies that you get after watching it a couple of times.

Soundgarden features prominently in this film, and that's what I'm +electrified+ listening to, now. Although the Jesus Christ Pose track is amazing and woven tight within - perhaps the opening of the movie? This track epitomizes, for me, the overall feel: Searching With My Good Eye Closed Searching With My Good Eye Closed
I don't even know if it's in the movie 😆, I'll have to watch it again myself. ⚡

If I had to pick one movie to explain what the post Cold War I, pre 9/11 interbellum was like, it's this.
