Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping kid spy movies into the ol’ VCR. 

Something we were collectively obsessed with in my youth was the idea of children being spies. 

I’ve had anxiety since I was a child, so there’s no way I would be able to pull off espionage. 

That’s why I more so related to Harriet the Spy because I was nosy and wrote down every single thing I could. 

Shego had NO RIGHT to serve that hard

However, I think a lot of kids my age probably wanted to have spies for parents, or Hilary Duffs they needed to rescue. 

This led to a whole little subgenre of kid and teenage spy movies. 

And let me tell you, they aren’t all created equal. 

But, we respect them all the same. 

We used a proper nation that let spy children drive convertibles 

Also, just as a sidebar, I want to be friends with Glen Powell (who was in Spy Kids 3: Game Over, so this is kind of relevant), so if anyone can make that happen, it would be much appreciated. 

Alrighty, I think that does us for an introduction. 

(But know I’m serious about being friends with Glen Powell.) 

Without further ado, here’s some kid and teen spy content that’ll make you want to buy some walkie talkies and a black catsuit: 

• D.E.B.S.
• Spy Kids 
• Totally Spies!
• Kim Possible 
• Harriet the Spy
• Catch That Kid 
• Agent Cody Banks 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Baby-Sitters Club into the ol’ VCR. 

Along with Sweet Valley High, The Baby-Sitters Club was another big part of my childhood. I loved the series and the movie, and I can’t tell you how many of the books I read. 

I LOVED the reboot series they created as well, and I definitely believe it was prematurely canceled, as does its creator, Rachel Shukert. 

If you aren’t familiar with The Baby-Sitters Club, it follows, well, The Baby-Sitters Club (BSC) as the girls navigate divorced parents, diabetes, and other difficulties of growing up. Additionally, they serve as the go-to babysitters for parents around the area. Each book focuses on a different member of the group, and its core founding members include: 

• Kristy Thomas 
• Mary Anne Spier
• Claudia Kishi 
• Stacey McGill 

However, as with all good series, the group soon expands to include a rotating cast of characters like: 

• Dawn Schafer 
• Mallory Pike 
• Jessi Ramsey 
• Logan Bruno 
• Shannon Kilbourne 
• Abby Stevenson 

My personal favorite is, and will always be, Claudia. As a fellow creative (barf), I feel a kinship with her. Also, Claudia always had the COOLEST clothes. 

I digress. 

The BSC (yeah, you know me) can be best broken down into four categories: The Books, The Original Series, The Movie, and The Reboot. 

The Books 

The BSC was written by Ann M. Martin, with the first book being released in 1986. The amount of novels written by Ann M. Martin herself seems to be a little conflicting, but it looks like the first 35 were all her. She may have also written up to 60-80 between 1986 and 2000. Then, much like a lot of our favorite beloved series, ghost writers were brought in to keep the series going.

Ann M. Martin seems to keep her personal life private, but it does appear that she’s queer, and I think that’s something really awesome to highlight. 

The Original Series

The original BSC series only lasted for one season, and I’m honestly SHOOK. My childhood brain remembers a million episodes, not a measly 13. But, I think that speaks to the impact this series had on me as a kid. 

Now, I wasn’t around when The BSC originally aired back in 1990, but you best believe I watched reruns whenever they were on. The original series even managed to end with, you guessed it, a very special episode where they reflect on their friendship. Yes, I’m serious. 

Currently, the original series isn’t available to stream, but I have good news! All of the episodes are available on YouTube, and the quality is actually top-notch.

The Movie 

Now, let’s move into one of the most iconic pieces of The BSC’s lore, the 1995 movie. I can’t tell you what I’d give to have my original clamshell copy. Moving on. 

The movie most notably stars Rachel Leigh Cook as Mary Anne, Larisa Olyenik as Dawn, and features Marla Sokoloff as Cokie because it was the mid-90s, so we had to throw these three in the mix. They even bagged Ellen Burstyn, which is wild. 

The movie definitely takes some creative liberties, but I love it because it fits perfectly in the coming-of-age 90s subgenre we’ve all come to know and appreciate. Additionally, the core characters are all represented, so I’ll take it. The BSC movie is available to watch on Starz, and I recommend checking it out if you need a good dose of nostalgia. 

HOWEVER, there’s a problematic storyline where one of the girls likes/kind of dates a 17-year-old until he finds out her real age, so proceed with caution.

The Reboot 

I was so stoked when a reboot of The BSC was announced. Y’all have no idea. And, honestly, I think this series is wonderful. It does an excellent job of introducing kids/a younger audience to hard topics like divorce and death. It also does a really good job of introducing LGBTQIA+ characters. These episodes are a great jumping off point for dialogues, IMO. I also cried multiple times throughout the series, but that’s neither here nor there. 

I was SO BUMMED to learn that Netflix had pulled the plug, but I am grateful for the seasons we have. I’d definitely recommend binging this series if you haven’t already. Just start preparing yourself for “Claudia and the Sad Goodbye” NOW.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Renny Harlin’s The Strangers: Chapter 1 into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, before I say anything AT ALL, this review calls for my famous disclaimer: 

The great thing about movies is that we can discuss and debate them. Just because I think a movie is great doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie is awful doesn’t make it a bad movie. Also, making a movie is extremely difficult and incredibly badass, and I don’t want to detract from the process. 

Alrighty, let’s get to it. 

I’d heard that The Strangers: Chapter 1 was bad. 

In fact, my server warned me before the movie even started that it was going to be the low point of my triple feature. 

But, nothing could’ve prepared me for how bad this movie truly is. 

First and foremost, there’s no chemistry between our leads. I love Madelaine Petsch, and I know that she’s a good actor. However, I think the only criteria for placing these two together is the fact they’re both hot. 

With horror, you don’t always have to create an undeniable romantic dynamic, but in a movie like this, we need to care about these characters. 

And, I just…didn’t. 

This looks like a renaissance painting of two hot people getting ready to call their agents after this scene wraps 

Secondly, no trope is left unturned. 

From slamming hands onto nails to speaking at full volume when trying to get away, The Strangers: Chapter 1 tackles them all. 

There’s also one scene where Ryan (Froy Gutierrez) crafts a makeshift inhaler out of a water bottle. The problem is, he crinkles the water bottle like it’s his FUCKING JOB while he’s trying to hide. 

I wanted to look at him and go, “Gee, was a bag of Sunchips not available?” 

For my third and final point, I’ll have to spoil things. As we all know, I usually try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. But, to properly review this one, I’m gonna have to spoil things just a bit. 

If you want this flick to remain spoiler free, skip down to the paragraph that starts with “I was genuinely excited…”. 

Ready? Okay. 

“Please don’t make me be in the rest of this trilogy” 

Hello! Future Baillee here. So, there’s some weird discourse on the internet right now where IMDb is saying this movie isn’t a prequel, but just about everywhere else says this is a prequel and/or takes place in 2008 like the original. I’m sticking with the fact this is a prequel, but the other two movies in the trilogy may prove me wrong. I also could’ve sworn that Liv Tyler made a cameo, but I guess that wasn’t her on the video call? Either way, I think this just shows that this movie wasn’t fully planned out. Carry on.

So, I called from the trailer that this was a prequel. The outdated soundtrack tipped me off from a mile away. 

Now, Final Destination 5 did a similar thing where they made a prequel without clueing us in beforehand. HOWEVER, the big difference between it and The Strangers: Chapter 1 is that Final Destination 5 didn’t spoon feed us. 

For example, there’s a quick look at a gift certificate that expires in 2001. All of the music is from the late 90s. The license plates are all outdated. You get the picture. 

Instead of giving us subtle hints, The Strangers: Chapter 1 slaps us in the face over and over like Joan Crawford on a bad day (or a good day, or…just ever) that this is a prequel. 

We see that all of the cell phones are older. We understand the soundtrack is older (but still years ahead of 2008?). We get it. 

You don’t need to underestimate us as an audience, especially when the timeline doesn’t quite make sense. 

I really want to give The Strangers: Chapter 1 the benefit of the doubt. There’s a lot to establish within the first movie of a trilogy, but Fear Street was also a trilogy. Additionally, the Fear Street trilogy established an entirely new franchise; it wasn’t created using an existing IP. 

Also, as we already established, Final Destination 5 does a really good job of throwing out a surprise prequel without basically winking at the camera and saying, “Get it?”. The Strangers: Chapter 1 doesn’t leave us breadcrumbs; it throws entire slices at us.

The real pants are the terrible horror movies we made along the way 

I was genuinely excited for this one because I a) love the concept of a staggered release and b) I love The Strangers and The Strangers: Prey at Night. Unfortunately, The Strangers: Chapter 1 just isn’t up to snuff. 

I’m a completionist, so I’ll probably see the other two movies, but I can’t guarantee we’ll cover them here. 

You could even say we’ve closed the door on The Strangers trilogy for now. 

Hopefully, no one else comes knocking.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some nostalgic electronics into the ol’ VCR. 

Well, friends, it’s time to round out our impromptu nostalgia series…for now. 

We’ve covered commercials, cartoons, and YouTube. Now, it’s time to wrap this bad boy up with electronics. 

It’ll come as no surprise that I still have several of these items in my house. It’ll also come as no surprise that I have several of these items saved in my Amazon cart and bookmarks. 

I digress. 

I do want to give KP and my sister a huge thank you. 

We didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up, so KP worked like crazy to make sure I could have a lot of these things. 

Additionally, when KP had to take disability, my sister helped to make sure I was able to receive gifts like this, and tag-teamed things with my mom. 

My sister also gave me her hand-me-downs that were in pristine condition without ever being asked. 

I’m very fortunate that I was able to have these things, and I absolutely recognize my privilege. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.

Without further ado, here are 10 nostalgic electronics, after the beep:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some cult-classic cartoons into the ol’ VCR. 

We’re honestly living for nostalgia over here at the B Movies Blog. 

So far, we’ve covered commercials and YouTube videos. 

And now, we’re back at it again with cartoons. 

It’s no secret that I love cartoons and animated series. We’ve covered things like The Ketchup Vampires in the past, as well as the cartoons that made me. 

But, we have yet to tackle some cult-classic cartoons that sometimes feel like a fever dream. 

I’ll tell you that this one was hard because there were some GOOD ones to choose from, and there were a few good ones like KaBlam! and Angela Anaconda that got left on the cutting room floor. 

That doesn’t mean I don’t love them; it just means I didn’t want to give you a 27-page piece to read. 

We’ll save that for Bo Burnham, thank you. 

That should do us for disclaimers and justifications for today. 

Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll leave you jonesin’ for a Fruitopia and some Yogos:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping female friendship movies into the ol’ VCR. 

Now listen, I do like a good rom-com from time to time. 

However, something I love even more is a female friendship movie. 

What do I mean, exactly?

I love movies where there might be a love interest or love triangle, but, at its core, the story is about the power of female friendship. 

I know a couple of these might be questionable, but hear me out. 

In Do Revenge, our girlies ride off into the sunset together after taking down a misogynist POS. Yes, Eleanor (Maya Hawke) does spend the majority of the film trying to take down Drea (Camila Mendes). BUT, their friendship overrules everything in the end. 

Also, I know that Banana Split is questionable because April (Hannah Marks) hooks up with her ex/Clara’s (Liana Liberato) current boyfriend. BUT, again, the real message is the power of their friendship, and their friendship is the only relationship we’re made to care about throughout. 

Alrighty, that should do us for criteria and disclaimers today. 

Without further ado, grab your friendship bracelets and besties, and check out these movies: 

• 9 to 5 
• Girls Trip 
• Bridesmaids
• Do Revenge
• Banana Split
• Steel Magnolias 
• The Sweetest Thing
• The First Wives Club
• Charlie’s Angels (2000) 
• For a Good Time, Call… 
• Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
• Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping classic YouTube videos from the mid-aughts into the ol’ VCR. 

I had a lot of fun putting together the piece about the commercials I grew up watching last week. We all know I’m a YouTube girlie, so I wanted to serve you up more nostalgia. 

If you were in high school around the same time I was (2006-2010), you grew up with a lot of iconic YouTube videos. 

Don’t get me wrong. I still love YouTube, but it was the Wild West back then. 

You didn’t have to worry about the algorithm, so creators could truly do whatever they wanted (within reason, obviously). 

These videos also established such a specific sense of humor that I’m sure will explain why I am the way I am. I’m also 100% guilty of lining my Myspace profile with an insane amount of GIFs from these videos. 

As with all things from this time period, there are some jokes that don’t hold up. 

And, well, Salad Fingers is Salad Fingers. 

Finally, some of these videos are the first episode in a series, but I’m only including the original videos. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite YouTube videos from the aughts:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Molly Shannon into the ol’ VCR.

I think Molly Shannon is truly one of the funniest people on this planet. 

Whenever I see her in the cast of something, I immediately get giddy. Not to mention, she’s one of the best SNL alums of all time. 

One thing I love about Molly Shannon is her character work. Even though she’s brought countless characters to life, it doesn’t feel like all of her characters are separate; it feels like they’re just different pieces of herself. 

Her range is also incredible. You’re telling me that the same person that played Mary Katherine Gallagher also played Mrs. Fisher in a PIVOTAL scene of Promising Young Woman? Like, c’mon. 

As always, there’s not much more I can say that hasn’t been said. 

Molly, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Molly Shannon content: 

• Superstar 
• Serendipity 
• Marie Antoinette 
• Never Been Kissed 
• I Love That For You
• Promising Young Woman 
• Wet Hot American Summer 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping another edition of Lights, Camera, Albums into the ol’ VCR. 

In today’s edition of Lights, Camera, Albums, we’re going to cover Billie Eilish’s debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? Much like Plastic Hearts, this album is very horror-forward IMO. I think the music video for “bury a friend” only proves my point. 

However, there are also some darker themes throughout. For that reason, I’m not going to do pictures in this one. I also want to give a little disclaimer that I’m not making light of any of the subject matter in these songs or movies. Finally, I’m not doing a match for “!!!!!!!” because it’s only 13 seconds long. 

If you’re new here, and you’ve made it this far, welcome! Lights, Camera, Albums is a series where I go through an album, song by song, and pair each track with a movie. Sometimes, the pairings are obvious. Other times, you can just chalk it up to being a creative. Either way, we have a lot of fun here. 

Without further ado, let’s jump into Lights, Camera, Albums: Billie Eilish’s WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

“bad guy” as Fear 

When I was relistening to this album, Margo (Alyssa Milano) immediately came to mind for this song. Margo doesn’t have the same upbringing as Nicole (Reese Witherspoon), so she doesn’t have the same structure and familial support. Margo also doesn’t have to adhere to the same rules as Nicole and has a reputation for being a bad girl. I can see Margo singing this to Nicole when she’s trying to warn her about David (Mark Wahlburg). 

“xanny” as Bodies Bodies Bodies 

I 100% can see Bee (Maria Bakalova) performing this song. She’s swept up into this world of privilege and partying, and she’s from an entirely different world. I think these lyrics really drive it home, 

“They’re nothing but unstable,

Bring ashtrays to the table, 

And that’s about the only thing they share” 

“you should see me in a crown” as Immaculate 

I think this song is PERFECT for Cecilia (Sydney Sweeney). She goes from this timid sister to a badass and vengeful final girl in a matter of 89 minutes. I see the first verse of the song representing Cecilia as she bides her time to escape, while the rest of the song represents Cecilia’s harrowing escape. 

“all the good girls goes to hell” as Late Night with the Devil 

I know Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) identifies as male, but I think the sentiment remains the same. Jack sacrificed his wife for his career, and now, it’s time to pay the price. This song also works in regards to June (Laura Gordon) because she’s sincerely trying to do the right thing, but gets caught up in Jack’s quest for success. 

“wish you were gay” as Jennifer’s Body 

Okay, so, I want to go ahead and say I know this song is problematic. Moving on. 

I paired this one with Jennifer’s Body because Needy (Amanda Seyfried) and Jennifer’s (Megan Fox) relationship is complicated. Jennifer hasn’t treated Needy fairly for most of their friendship. I think this song works on two levels because a) Needy doesn’t wish she would be second string to Jennifer and b) Needy and Jennifer’s feelings do have a romantic aspect. 

“when the party’s over” as Fear Street: Part One – 1994 

This was one of the first matches I made. I think this song is such a good representation of Deena’s (Kiana Madeira) mentality at the beginning of the Fear Street trilogy. She’s reeling from how things ended with Sam (Olivia Scott Welch). The “party,” in their case, is when Sam leaves town and her mom finds out about their relationship.

“8” as Midsommar 

Okay, I’ll admit that this one might be one where you need to tilt your head to the side and squint. But, hear me out. Christian (Jack Reynor) is an absolute gaslighting POS to Dani (Florence Pugh). All she does is try to cope with her trauma and put on a brave front for him, just for him to cheat on her, steal his friend’s thesis, etc…I see this song as coming from Dani’s POV, especially because of these lyrics: 

“I know you’re not sorry

Why should you be?

‘Cause who am I to be in love

When your love never is for me?” 

“my strange addiction” as From Dusk Till Dawn 

I originally had Swallow as the movie for this song, but I decided that was way too on the nose. However, if you take a step back, you can apply this song to vampirism/turning into a vampire. And, what better way to kill two addictions with one stone than to pair this song with From Dusk Till Dawn where you get both vampires and Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish. 

“bury a friend” as Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors 

I think these two are a match made in Heaven…or Hell. In NOES 3, Kristen (Patricia Arquette) and Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) have to band together to defeat Freddy as he picks off kids one-by-one. I think this song would be a really cool ensemble piece with Nancy, all of the kids, and Freddy. 

“​ilomilo” as Come True 

If you know me at all, you know I’ll find a chance to talk about Come True whenever I can. Fortunately, there’s actually a good reason to bring it up in this case. Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) is trapped in this world of her own design, so I see this song coming in at the end when she realizes that she’s all alone. 

“listen before i go” as Tamara 

This song has a really dark connotation (CW/TW for SI), and I’m not trying to make light of it. 

This song immediately made me think of Tamara. Tamara (Jenna Dewan) ends up on a rooftop, and I feel like this song really captures how Tamara was feeling before the prank and while she was exacting her revenge. 

“i love you” as Planet Terror

I rewatched Planet Terror recently, so it came to mind fairly quickly. I think “i love you” is an incredible representation of Cherry (Rose McGowan) and Wray’s (Freddy Rodríguez) relationship. They reunite, only to have their love struck down in its prime. 

“goodbye” as Raw 

I know this song is a reprise of sorts, but for some reason, it just made me think of Raw. Justine’s (Garance Marillier) thoughts are racing throughout the movie as she tries to navigate her new…cravings. I see this song playing either at the end of Raw when Justine finds out her family’s secret, or during the party scene. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping commercials from the 90s and 00s into the ol’ VCR. 

As someone who a) works in marketing and b) is a pop culture aficionado with a penchant for nostalgia, I’ve been thinking a lot about commercials from my formative years. 

The 90s/early 00s LOVED a jingle. They also loved creating weird ass creatures and bringing inanimate objects to life. Toy Story came out during this time period, to drive my point home. 

I watch a lot of content (spoiler), and they just don’t make commercials like they used to. 

She said, shaking her fist towards the sky with one hand and reaching into her pocket for a Werther’s Original with the other. 

That’s why I’ve carefully selected ten of my favorite commercials from the past for all of us to revisit and remember our own mortality. 

Pepsi Custom CD Summer Promotion Commercial 

I still know every single word to this promo, and I don’t want to talk about it.
