Episode Details

What happens when the director of A Christmas Story and Black Christmas makes a movie about babies who speak a secret universal language? We explore the bizarre production history of Baby Geniuses, its surprisingly profitable box office run, and the cult following of its critically annihilated sequel Superbabies: Baby Geniuses Two. Plus, we dig into the real scientific grounding behind the "secret baby language" premise and recommend other films that play in the same sandbox — from Look Who's Talking to the philosophical roots of infant cognition in pop culture.
