This week, on Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best, Busy describes a horrible accident she had on the street where there were several serious casualties! Then she and Caissie welcome their first post SAG-AFTRA strike guest, Samantha Bee, and things get weird as they try to talk without breaking any strike rules by not mentioning any TV projects, past or present. Instead, they discuss whether or not they are having sex, weird Canadian soda habits, a gossip site rumor about Sam that was so wrong it was funny, and Sam’s new podcast, “Choice Words” launched with our friends over at Lemonada Media! https://link.chtbl.com/ChoiceWordswithSamanthaBee
As always, if you haven’t listened to this week’s episode, click the link at the top of the paragraph to take you there. If you HAVE listened, these pictures will make so much more sense to you! Please use the comments section as your official episode discussion thread and Caissie will probably pop in because Matt is working until after 11 tonight and she has nothing else to do. Okay, nothing else she’s GONNA do. WE LOVE YOU!

I listened to this episode in early August. Loved it! Sam Bee is like the close cousin of you both. I miss Toronto--my husband and I have been there many times over the decades. We love staying at our fav condo building in the Church-Wellesley area aka Gay Village. Being in T.O. for at least a month’s stay (preferably 5-6 weeks) saved my sanity over the years.
Re: “kids” movies that you realize were messed up as an adult.
The Baby-Sitters Club 1995 (Rachel Leigh Cook, Schuyler Fisk, Larissa Oleynik) had Stacey pretending she was 16 because she had a crush on the 17 year old French cousin of one of the kids she babysat. He tried to take her to a club in NY where you had to be 16 to get in and she had to admit she was *13*.
Then when Kristy goes missing, she says she knows someone with a car (couldn’t possibly tell a parent), and he somehow drives himself and 6 girls in his VW Bug (real clown car situation) to find Kristy. They do a group hug and he inexplicably joins in, hugging these 11-13 year old girls that he’s never even met. In the rain, even.
Later, he’s going back home and says goodbye to Stacey. He tells her coyly that he’ll be back next summer. She’ll be 14 then.
As an adult, I yelled, “AND YOU’LL BE 18! THAT’S NOT BETTER!”
Extra disappointing that this was written and directed by women. Of course as a kid watching this I totally bought into the older boy fantasy, but I don’t know, as adults writing this, maybe make him a little more age appropriate?
