I can't believe I never noticed Brad is the same actor as Kenny from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead ("The dishes are done, man.")
Iconic opening scene and the source of all of my pre-MCU Thor knowledge. I watched this on Disney+ though, and it was the edited-for-tv version, so the swear words were dubbed over. What the heck, Disney+? You have Deadpool on there now, and you are censoring Adventures In Babysitting???

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless chain of escalating mishaps unfolds across one chaotic Chicago night, as a resourceful babysitter and her charges stumble from one outlandish situation into the next. It's pure comic momentum, funny, warm, and utterly earnest about the bonds forged when ordinary people are thrown into extraordinary trouble together.
