SPECIAL: Babes in Toyland (1986) with Cool Breeze Over the Mountains!
IT’S A HOLIDAY CROSSOVER MIRACLE Y’ALL!!
Santa’s come for all of us this year as we team up with the amazing hosts of Cool Breeze Over the Mountains for a crossover event of epic proportions. We knew when we picked Babes in Toyland this year, we’d need to cover the 1986 version as well. But that version happens to star a then-unknown Keanu Charles Reeves, a cultural icon and phenomenon that our cohorts have been studying, film-by-film, for quite some time. So we watched it, this 90-minute horrorshow of epic movie failures and terrible re-editing for home video. This monstrosity of bad Drew Barrymore child acting and creepy German filmmaking…you get it, this movie is terrible, but you’ll have to listen to find out just how terrible it can be. Join us all for our wild, hilarious, and incredulous discussion of 1986’s Babes in Toyland!
