Episode description
The late 80s and early 90s saw a deluge of movies and TV shows focused on working, single moms. Few films were able to capitalize on that niche as successfully as Look Who's Talking. On the surface, it's a broad comedy about a talking baby - but because writer/director Amy Heckerling was drawing from her own experiences as a new parent, it managed to tap into something a lot more genuine and heartfelt as well. Topics include: why most of the major studios passed on the script, the risk involved with hiring John Travolta at this point in his career, whether or not this premise requires such a complicated set-up, the two sequels, the TV show Baby Talk, the possibility of a remake, and more!
