Samantha SearHOST
There have been some great plot twists in the second series and Guy Ritchie is responsible for some of my very late nights and tough school run mornings because I cannot turn it off and go to bed.
Samantha SearHOST
Jumping back to films, I've seen a few oldies too, like Baby Boomers and You've Got Mail.
Samantha SearHOST
Baby Boomers really made me laugh.
Samantha SearHOST
A lot of the comedy came from the relatability of caring for very small children.
Samantha SearHOST
If you haven't seen it, the plot follows a career-driven city slicker played by Diane Keaton, who, thinking she is about to inherit a fortune, instead becomes the primary carer of a baby girl.
Pat GilletteGUEST
seeing him old, and so it's wild seeing him young.
MariahHOST
You know, another one that would have been from our childhood that was pretty fall-like would have been Baby Boom.
SethHOST
Baby Boomer? Baby Boom?
MariahHOST
Just Baby Boom.
MariahHOST
Just Baby Boom?
SethHOST
Yeah.
SethHOST
With making the baby food? Yeah.
BillHOST
It was produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC.
BillHOST
The theme song was done by Tyrell Music Group, who did the music for Baby Boom.
BillHOST
The movie Baby Boom? Good
GinaHOST
song.
BillHOST
Yeah, the music was actually really good.
NickyHOST
But yeah, I just love it.
NickyHOST
I feel it's a bit like with Baby Boom.
NickyHOST
I talked about that a few weeks ago, how that's a comfort watch, all the scenes in Vermont.
NickyHOST
And there is something about the small community vibe that really does soothe my soul.
NickyHOST
And this is similar.
NickyHOST
It's funny in a slightly different way.
NickyHOST
It's more whimsical and it's more eccentric than Baby Boom sort of went for gags.
NickyHOST
But yeah, I have such positive, warm feelings about this film.
Emma JonesGUEST
So are the scenes around Peter's bewilderment and potential unsuitability as a parent.
Emma JonesGUEST
Now, to a certain extent, all these kinds of films, you know, if you think of 1987's Baby Boom or the 1990s Big Daddy movie, you know, they follow the same redemptive arc that children bring and are quite predictable.
Emma JonesGUEST
I feel that Firstman's narrative, and he really does try to make it a bit different, still slightly runs out of steam towards the end, but overall, a very fun crowd pleaser.
Eve JacksonHOST
Oh yeah, for a debut, it's sounding good.
Shane A BassettGUEST
But I'm not aware of that movie.
Shane A BassettGUEST
The only baby boom movie I know of is one in the 80s with Diane Keaton.
Pat PanettaHOST
Mm, that's right.
Pat PanettaHOST
I reckon I remember that.
26 MINS LATER
Pat PanettaHOST
So thank you.
Shane A BassettGUEST
No worries.
Shane A BassettGUEST
And just quickly, I wanted to say Baby Blue Marine was the movie that Julian spoke about back at the start of the segment, and I thought it was Baby Boom.
Shane A BassettGUEST
Maureen.
H. Alan ScottHOST
Well, also, too, you know, one of the things that I think is so poignant about it, which what makes it an interesting aspect for the Academy race or for the Oscar race in general, is that, you know, at the end of the film, she dedicated it to Diane Keaton.
H. Alan ScottHOST
And one of the things that I don't think a lot of, you know, a lot of the mainstream public sees Diane Keaton as like a fun, kooky actress that you loved from First Wives Club or Something's Gotta Give or you remember her from Annie Hall or whatever it is, Baby Boom, et cetera.
H. Alan ScottHOST
But what a lot of people don't know in terms of how the industry had viewed Diane Keaton is that she was an auteur.
H. Alan ScottHOST
She was a director.
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
And then every couple years, they'd go and they'd make a movie.
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
And other than Baby Boom, almost all my childhood movies were made in LA.
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
They made this in New York.
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
And I didn't know any different.
11 MINS LATER
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
Because I'm sure people looked at you like, are you crazy? Yes.
Annie Meyers ShyerGUEST
people would kill for this job i had a huge discount it was wild it was it was crazy but the truth is i couldn't get on another plane and leave my family i just couldn't do it i was i wanted to take my kid to music class like i was just in a different a different point in my life and i said that to them when i left i said um i think you should hire someone younger than me right
Sarah Hamlin HastingsHOST
And all of a sudden the baby boom theme came rushing back and you're like, it's all
Sarah Hamlin HastingsHOST
full circle now.
JasperHOST
Before this, she did a bunch of writing credits.
JasperHOST
The one she's most well-known for is Baby Boom.
JasperHOST
You've seen it?
KenzGUEST
No, I've never heard of it.
JasperHOST
They court Jack Nicholson to star.
JasperHOST
The whole thing, for whatever reason, falls apart.
JasperHOST
Steve Martin comes on board, but Steve Martin is unhappy with the script, and it is he who is a fan of Baby Boom who brings Nancy and Charles on board.
JasperHOST
And then from that point on, the movie's kind of off to the races.
Paul RustHOST
but it is funny that it's like, well I'm sure there was...
Paul RustHOST
It's funny when a horror movie or something, the like spookiest curse, that it was never like Baby Boom.
Matt GourleyHOST
Ah.
Matt GourleyHOST
