Don’t Sleep on Netflix Original THE BABYSITTER – MY JAWBREAKERS

Not The Babysitters Club.  Not Adventures in Babysitting.  Not My Babysitter’s a Vampire. Not even Jonah Hill’s The Sitter.

Put Your Content Where Your Mouth Is

I’m worried. I’m worried that the integrity of the media content we enjoy is beginning to slip. That the art we so regularly subscribe to is lacking in meaning.
