The Pacifier

Our Unfinished Business is taking us back to some classic We Love the Love far, since there's both a half-baked romance and a bizarrely-run high school in Adam Shankman's 2005 Vin Diesel vehicle The Pacifier!

Join in as we discuss the babysitting potential of various Vin Diesel characters, the school's dubious disciplinary priorities, the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, and the television oeuvre of Taylor Sheridan.

Plus: Who are the bad guys in this movie? Why is Lauren Graham's principal character in on the secret plan? Why does government scientist Tate Donovan keep his work at home? And, most importantly, how many passwords did the mom have to guess before she got the right one?

Next week: It's our 2025 Oscars Extravaganza, where we rate the romances of all ten Best Picture nominees!
