Episode 131: The Babysitter

Episode 131 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell return from their Return To The Mandela Effect and head back to discussing movies of any year, any genre and any quality.

After mentioning it during last week's episode, your hosts decided to take a look at 1995's THE BABYSITTER, starring Alicia Silverstone as a, er, babysitter who turns out to be subject of many male fantasies. It's based on a well-regarded short story by Robert Coover, so does the movie do justice to its source material?

Hayley and Darren talk about the non-linear approach of the film, its focus on toxic masculinity and some very uncomfortable sequences. They also discuss how Alicia Silverstone came to star in a movie full of canny casting choices and how this offered something truly different in a sea of 90s straight to video erotic thrillers.

One guy we know who's a decent sort is Mitch Bain, who writes and performs the tunes you hear on the podcast. You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
