BSCC 128 - Mary Anne in the Middle

Mallory has left the safe confines of the BSC to become a baby-sitting Ronin and roam the Earth with no master and no mission but her wanderings. The factions have taken full control of Stoneybrook, as witches fight demons and terrible dinosaurs rage and roar in the ghost-riddled streets. To make matters worse, the boys are feuding, driven mad with fear as these books count down to their inevitable fiery end. Meanwhile, the girls are throwing a festive holiday party for the residents of Stoneybrook Manor! All that and more as we approach the heart-pounding conclusion of the great Sitters’ Cycle. “The Army of Minotaur,” by Maki Symphony “Drama,” by Daniel__St “Theme from Loom,” by LucasFilm Games “Don’t Leave Me,” by Lionel Schmitt “Jane’s Lament,” by EMSonora “Love Potion,” by Fasol Prod “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCC 003 - The Truth About Stacey

This week, Jack and Tanner get to the bottom of the truth about Stacey, and uncover a few truths about themselves along the way. Just kidding! They definitely don't have the emotional intelligence required for any sort of meaningful introspection. They just make dumb jokes instead. Special thanks to Baby Boy #1 Scott Lamb for the theme tune, and Baby Girl #1 Andrea Hickey for the cover art! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

I hope you like Tearful Moments because you're gonna be drowning in our tears (well, Tanner's tears at least) this week. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCC 005 - Dawn and the Impossible Three

Tanner and Jack travel all the way to Germany, the birthplace of modern Lutheranism, to discuss the thinly veiled religious text that is book five of The Baby-sitter's Club, "Dawn and the Impossible Three." Tanner has a few too many helles biers and ends up role playing as an adult escort. Things get a little weird. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

BSCC 063 - Jessi and the Awful Secret

A "very special” episode this week, Baby Nation, since Ann – in her infinite wisdom and unaccountable cruelty – decided to throw Jack and Tanner another curveball with a powerful novel about the triple threat of poverty, systemic racism, and teenage eating disorders. But with an exquisite grace worthy of Jessi herself, the boys manage to tiptoe shockingly quickly in the opposite direction of these delicate issues and towards the vastly safer ground of Marvel’s The X-Men, which Ann also foolishly included in this text. And it goes without saying that this whole discussion is positively teeming with horrifying doll creatures, so there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.

BSCSC 003 - Baby-Sitters' Winter Vacation

The Leicester Lounge hungers, and the only thing that can sate its twisted appetite is the laughter of children echoing through its halls. The girls do their dark work this week by first delivering themselves and other children to the Lodge and then by conspiring with greater powers to trap everyone within the Lodge forever. Will they ever see the light of day again? Will Leicester Lodge prove to be a mausoleum of ice? Will Claudia date an adult man, even though he has a wife and children? Find out on this week’s Baby-Sitters Club SUPER Club.

BSCC 078 - Stacey's Lie

This week the boys become intimately familiar with the work of Suzanne Weyn, or should I say, Suz-ANN! Have any of you ever seen Ann and Suzanne in the same room at the same time? Didn’t think so. Nice try, Ann, but we’re on to you. Stacey is back in the dog house, Claudia is back to being eternal sad, and the Pikes continue to deliver the best burns in the business.

BSCC 069 - Dawn's Big Move

This episode is a time for somber reflection, as the boys gently, diplomatically, and eloquently allow Ann to hear (in the most thoughtful and sober way possible) exactly why what she did to Dawn WILL NEVER BE OK, ANN. NEVER. Also this week, Hodges has gone completely off the deep end, and Jack and Tanner follow him merrily over the edge with a whole slew of powerful and dynamic new segments. There’s also a new player in town, who has Goliath Hardbody shaking in his manly boots.

In the course of their investigation, they discover a dark secret about one of the town's young residents, Alan Gray. (The secret is that he likes Kristy.)

BSCSC 002 - Baby-Sitters' Summer Vacation

Welcome to Lake Whatever, where every man, woman, and baby-sitter who swims in its waters must come face-to-face with their greatest fear. A faceless monster, a trio of escaped murderers, a first true love, an unwanted makeover, and an especially amorous Logan Bruno are just a few of the trials that the girls must face this week, while the boys grapple with the difficult case law around what is and isn’t cool and develop a powerful – and incredibly dangerous – new catchphrase.

BSCC 065 - Claudia's Friend

Strap on your best learnin’ hat and get ready for a good, old-fashioned education! This week, Claudia is learning from Stacey about where apostrophes go; Tanner’s learning from Jack about something very dry and almost certainly made up out of whole cloth called “The Lexical Order,” and Jack’s learning from Tanner all about the hit 2001 supernatural horror film “13 Ghosts,” starring the great Matthew Lillard. We also learn what happened to Jackie Rodowsky in his latest dance through the infinite, and the boys learn together just what happens when they muster up all their courage and say something to their beloved wives that they should have said a long, long, long time ago. “Battleships,” by Thomas Wolff Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1OTLh2RGiA “Run,” by Ross Budgen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujsCRw-eA0o “Rise,” by Ampix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUXjQIUv9KE “You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele,” by Squidlord https://soundcloud.com/squidlord/you-gotta-have-theremin-and-ukulele “Morning Sun,” by Nicolai Heidlas Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDQYljt3mtc “Land of Honor,” by Maxx McGee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFhmfHMcnAs “Apocalypse,” by Ross Budgen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v29KVjUXiS8 Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCC 081 - Mary Anne Breaks the Rules

Babies and Gentlemen of the jury – over the course of this episode, we are going to present you with nothing but the facts of the case. You’re going to hear about Logan’s deceitful charm, about Alan Gray’s clever ruse, about the witches who walk among us in plain sight, and about William Blake’s critical analysis of Paradise Lost. And when all is said and done, when you have heard all that there is to hear, when the truth has been brought into the light, you are going to have no choice but to mete out justice according to the sacred laws of our great Nation of Babies. You are going to have no choice but to ACQUIT MARY ANNE SPIER OF ALL CHARGES. Because Mary Anne has broken no rules, Baby Nation! Unless there is a rule against loving too much.

BSCC 130 - Abby's Un-Valentine

This one goes out to Boo-Boo. What a life to take. What a bond to break. We’ll all be missing you Boo-Boo, but the show must go on and this week the boys managed to pull themselves together just enough to discuss Abby’s misadventures in love, a new theory of the mysterious Cat People, and the true, official reading order for the BSC series. Also, Bee Theory may be wrong. Happy reading!

BEST OF: The Baby-Sitters Club Mystery Board Game (feat. Dan Shannon)

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

BSCC 126 - Claudia's Big Party

We’re not trying to tell you how to live your lives, but you’re going to disappoint a lot of people if you refuse to read Infinite Jest, watch Videodrome, and familiarize yourself with all of the great works of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and instead spend your time doing whippets, watching SportsCenter, and throwing big blow-out parties when your parents are away like Claudia Kishi decided to do this week. This one’s for fans of Janine Kishi, aka “The Janenius,” people who think Sense and Sensibility was written in the ‘90s, and anyone who’s ever huffed whipped cream to see what might happen. “Speakeasy,” by Sound Ideas “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music “Throw the Coins,” by Patrick Doyle “Lovely Memories,” by CreativeMedias_net “Without Limits,” by Ross Budgen Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

There’s also more mean memes than you could have ever possibly wanted, but the boys packed them into the episode regardless!

This week, Jack and Tanner meet to discuss the very complex mechanical and metaphysical implications of traversing the Planes of Chaos, also known as the Immaterium, from the Warhammer 40k universe, and whether or not the human mind is capable of making sense of a senseless reality where the laws of motion and energy do not apply. But, then we cut all that out, so I guess you'll just have to listen to them talk about The Baby-Sitters Club books instead. Jack's re-cap song is "Touch" by Mattia Cupelli The Burn of the Week song is "Tell Me" by Killercats The Signs and Signifiers music is by Paul the Trombonist --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.
