Show Notes
Parents might seem like they've got everything figured out, but it's worth remembering that they're just one failed time travel experiment away from crying, throwing temper tantrums, and liberally pissing themselves at the slightest provocation. Not so high and mighty now, eh? That's the premise of 2001's The Poof Point, in which accomplished husband and wife scientist team Norton and Marigold Ballard decide to let a dog wander into their time machine and start pulling things out at random. Because of this, the pair starts rapidly de-aging and it's up to their kids, Eddie and Marie to save the day before their bickering parents reach the fatal 'poof point' and poof out of existence. Will the Ballards be able to figure out what went wrong with the experiment? Should Eddie still attend his audition for the band The Urban Slugs, considering that his parents will die very soon? Did Norty make a mess? Listen and find out!

More from Mom Can't Cook! A DCOM Podcast
It’s every parent’s nightmare: you leave your teenage son in charge of your eight year old daughter when you go out one night, and thanks to his negligence she witnesses someone being turned into a blood fountain. There’s only one solution: a babysitter. That’s the situation that a mortified Ethan finds himself in at the start of this movie, but when it becomes clear that his babysitter is not only a fledgling vampire, but is also embroiled in some kind of vampire war that threatens to destroy the town, Ethan and a local sex creep that he hangs out with for some reason must help her defeat the vampiric evil once and for all. What is the vampires’ evil plan? Why do this film’s writers hate Twilight so much? And surely the Disney channel won’t show like 30 kids getting murdered? Listen and find out!

Tucker, no last name given, is a con man whose schemes have got him in a lot of trouble over the years. But when he gets out of prison and realises a couple of gangsters are still after him for a $50,000 debt he owes them, he does what any of us would do in that situation: instantly become the headmistress of a boarding school for teenage girls. This is something of a problem for Tucker, as he appears to have never met or seen a woman before, and is basing his portrayal of one on half-remembered bigfoot footage, or possibly some of the gnarlier Resident Evil monsters. But don't worry, before long the girls of Rawlings Academy are all in on their new shrieking cryptid headmistress. Will Tucker go through with his plan to swindle the school out of $500,000? Why does everyone find Mr. Headmistress so deeply attractive? And... wait, did he just say he started the Falklands War? Listen and find out! Vote for Mom Can't Cook! in the British Podcast Awards!

It is the year 2055. Time travel has been invented and of course, people are using it for the only reason anyone would want to use time travel: to go back to prehistory and shoot an allosaurus with one million lasers. That's the service offered by Time Safari, the private company run by Ben Kingsley and his distracting hair, who take great pains to ensure that nothing in the past is changed due to the catastrophic consequences it could have for the present. But when time waves start buffeting future Chicago it becomes clear that something has gone wrong and it's up to expedition leader Travis Ryer to figure out what happened before everyone evolves into sad catfish monsters and gets eaten by thousands of beetles. Can the time waves be stopped? Why are there super baboons everywhere? And did Ray Bradbury see this movie before he died? We sure hope not! Vote for Mom Can't Cook! in the British Podcast Awards!

But they only need one opening act and the camp is full of a new intake of fresh young superstars-in-waiting.

Have you ever wondered what Pinocchio's dad Gepetto was getting up to during the events of Pinocchio? You haven't?! Well buckle up, because you're about to find out and it involves Julia Louis-Dreyfus doing an accent, a weirdo professor and his breeding machine and of course, Usher's gang of barbershop acrobat clowns. Gepetto is a lonely toy maker who wishes for a son. But when the Blue Fairy gives him his longed for offspring by bringing one of his wooden puppets to life, Gepetto realises that he doesn't want Pinocchio after all, because the boy keeps doing things like asking him questions and playing with toys. But when Pinocchio runs away to join Stromboli's travelling show, Gepetto realises that Pinocchio is actually his property and sets out on a quest to get him back. Will Gepetto find Pinocchio and make amends? Des Drew Carey have somewhere else he'd rather be right now? And just how much of your genetic material needs to go into Professor Buonragazzo's machine?
