Filtra per genere
For first time parents-to-be, there are existential questions: how do we instill positive values? How do we discuss difficult topics? At what age can we show our kid Die Hard? While hosts Tom and Erin are clueless on most of these questions, they are determined to at least figure out that last one. On Baby’s First Watchlist, the couple break down a movie, ultimately deciding whether it belongs in their future son’s Netflix queue. They don’t claim to be experts in film OR child rearing—they’re just two movie lovers hoping to create a checklist of great movies to watch as a family.
