Adventures in Babysitting vs Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead I Funny Midlife Podcast

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the ultimate babysitting movie battle: Adventures in Babysitting vs Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. Which classic 80s and 90s comedy still holds up today? Which scenes have us laughing more than 30 years later? And is there one clear winner? We settle the debate.

Before we dive into the nostalgia, Mez shares what happened when she escaped the kids for a sneaky getaway to Brisbane. With hours completely to herself, why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to make every minute productive instead of simply enjoying the peace?

And remember the infamous vulva mask Fonz discovered on her travels? Mez finally put it to the test... and, well, you’ll find out when you listen 😜

In Food, Glorious Food, we're talking all things cake. From rich chocolate favourites to divisive continental cake and the ever-controversial fruit cake, we're sharing the cakes every Aussie family grew up with—including those unforgettable recipes from The Australian Women's Weekly Cake Book.
