Sit Me Baby One More Time Bonus - The Baby-Sitters Club: The Movie (1995)

About this episode

The episode discusses the 1995 film adaptation of The Baby-Sitters Club, exploring its challenges and character portrayals.

Ho-na-na-na Hey-ey! It's time to talk about the 1995 film adaptation of the series, directed by Melanie Mayron and written by Dalene Young. We mostly enjoyed it, though we have to acknowledge how hard it is to squeeze full plots for each BSC member into one 94-minute movie. Also, what is the deal with Kristy's dad? Why is he so stinky?
