02/05/22 • 61 min

Come back with us to 1987 where an early example of the PG-13 movie first introduced a generation of children to the concept of men's magazines and a certain word starting with the letter F. We look back at how the world has changed in the time since the release and continue our path of nostalgia. We try to figure out who this movie was really for and what a 17 year old would reasonably be able to handle in a wacky night. We once again experience the trope of criminals escalating to mass child murder really quickly. Remember... Don't FOOL with the babysitter.
