Description

We were shocked to discover that 1987's Adventures in Babysitting doesn't have a DVD or Blu Ray audio commentary.  After interviewing screenwriter David Simkins in 2022, we asked if he would be willing to record an audio commentary for Adventures in Babysitting and to our delight he agreed.  



David shares funny and insightful behind-the-scenes stories and talks about how the movie came together including working with Debra Hill and Lynda Obst.  We discuss the challenges of shooting both in Chicago and Canada.  David talks about how the famous blues bar scene came together, casting Elizabeth Shue, working with Chris Columbus and how Sara's obsession with Thor came to be.



There is an issue with the films audio.   At roughly 6 minutes into the movie, the audio of the film can be heard during the commentary.  We've done our best to reduce the film's audio track but it was impossible to totally remove it.  We recommend turning the audio down on your TV or device, and let our audio take over.  



One other call out, we recorded the audio commentary watching the PG-13 version of the movie not the one on Disney+.  



We believe this is the only audio commentary available for Adventures in Babysitting.  We can't thank David Simkins enough for agreeing to do this with us.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
