“Not to worry. See? It's dry. Whoever dropped this left a long time ago. Maybe weeks, or months. Nope, the only thing you gotta worry about is if we ran into... a wet one.”

NOTE: This concept is based on Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. This was always one of my favorite scenes in the movie where the couples talk to each other. Enjoy this Reddie and Benverly piece. Let me know if you’d like to see more from this concept. 
“We have to get the kids to listen to us somehow,” Beverly told the others as they paced the upstairs foyer. The ground shook underneath their feet from the loud music playing on the speakers downstairs. In their time being shrunk, now she knew how an ant felt.
“They hardly listen to us when we’re full size,” Ben groaned. Raising a teenager was hard. Lexi was so different from him when he was a teenager. Outgoing, loud, and even lying that she was texting friends when she was really texting guys. 
“We need to get their attention soon or Georgie is going to develop an abnormal heartbeat, he could pass out, and his muscles could paralyze. If he’s eating he could choke on something or even swallow...”
A large hand fell on his shoulder stopping him from his nervous pacing. Richie looked into his eyes, smiling, though it didn’t travel all the way up to his eyes. Just a few minutes ago their son stumbled up the stairs and fell to the floor in pain, grasping his stomach. 
When Georgie was first diagnosed with a low potassium deficiency, it sent Eddie over the edge. Not just because of their son’s illness but because he was worried that he was going to turn into his mother. But as Richie (and the doctor) assured him, it was real and not fake like Eddie’s mother made him out to think. 
“I got an idea!” Richie snapped his finger getting everyone’s attention. “What if we reconnect the stereo? That way, it’ll project our voices. I’ve seen how sound management does it at my shows!”
“How are we going to get downstairs?”
“Oh, the bubble machine!” Eddie beamed, walking towards his invention. He watched as the bubbles shot out of the bubble sticks and floated downstairs. “We’re light enough so we’d be able to jump into the bubble and we’ll land on the floor!”
“That’s brilliant! Eddie and I can go to the kitchen to get Georgie’s medicine while Ben, you can go with Richie to the stereo.”
Ben was quiet for a moment until slowly nodded his head. “Okay, if you think it will work.” He wrapped his arms around his wife holding her close.
“I’m sure. Lexi is going to have a talk about all of this!”
Richie pulled his husband to the side while Ben and Beverly were talking. “Are you okay with doing this?”
Smiling at the dear man and taking his husband’s hands, Eddie stood up on his toes and kissed his cheek. “Rich, you make me willing to try anything. I’m braver than I think, right?”
“Yeah, I know,” Richie nodded, brushing his along the cheek he had a faded scar on. “You know I worry.”
“Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”
Giggling, Richie kissed his sweet lips. Even after all these years it still felt like the first time. “Do you think we’re spending too much time together?”
“Watch it, Trashmouth,” Eddie warned, but the smile poked through anyway. “But, I feel like we haven’t been spending as much time together,” he said, frowning. So did Richie. His hands drifted down Eddie’s body, stopping near the line of his pants. 
“Is it my inventions? I know I’ve gone a little crazy with all these inventions ‘cause of this identity crisis for the last ten years but I love you so much. That is never going to change. I’ll stop inventing if it makes you feel better.”
Richie shook his head. “No, Eddie, I want you to be happy.” A thought drifted into his mind. “You’re happy, right?”
“Yes! More than I thought I’d ever be. We have two beautiful kids who are having a party right now, but they’re great! We’ve done a wonderful job. And you make me feel like me. I love that about you. Which is why we should have a date night right after I make us big again.”
They shared another kiss, briefly pressing their foreheads together. “Aren’t you already big?”
“What?”
“You know, you’re already big,” Richie whispered mischievously so Ben and Beverly wouldn’t hear. “Unless you’ve gotten bigger and want to show me something.”
Once Eddie understood the context of what he was saying, he playfully pushed his husband away. “You are something else!”
“Hey, you married me, babe!”
Ben and Beverly looked up from their conversation, smiling. “Do we even want to know what you’re saying?”
“Not unless you’re up for a challenge, Benny Boy!”

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992), and Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
A scientist has trouble with his experiments as his family become involved.
Some of the comedy works purely for the silliness of it, in particular the science fiction elements which are important to the story but are used with light-hearted amusement and yet still fairly consistent rules. It’s also interesting to see all the props and various dangers that comes with the scale adjustments.
Although some of it is broadly successful, the humour is rather juvenile at times, in the sequels it comes rather close to talking down to the audience. The change in cast between films also makes the story feel a little reductive, even more so than having them constantly make similar mistakes with the machines.
The effects in the first installment aren’t too bad, particularly the insects which look cool, although there being a scorpion in the back yard is worrying for other reasons. There are sometimes messages about family and honesty, and in the final installment there’s a decent scene about consent too.
In later films the effects and quality of the narrative lower in quality. They come to rely more on CGI rather than set and on many occasions the images of foreground and background don’t match well. The threats to the giant baby in the second one weren’t taken entirely serious enough, and in the final one it would have been nice to have seen more of the daddy long legs like the ant in the first one.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: 3/10 -This one’s bad but it’s got some good in it, just there-
Honey, I Blew Up the Kid: 3/10 -This one’s bad but it’s got some good in it, just there-
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves: 3/10 -This one’s bad but it’s got some good in it, just there-
-Early titles for the original included “Grounded” and “The Big Backyard”.
-In the first film one of the kids that gets shrunk wears a baseball cap featuring the team called “The Giants”.
-The calculation done in the first movie would have the children being 264 times smaller.

K BUT HEAR ME OUT
The gates are closed. But the paranoia lingers. The party's older crew take turns scouting prior areas of entry (lovers lake, mirkwood, lab, eddie's trailer, the crossroads and etc ). Steve and Eddie are watch partners. Hawkin's lab is on their roster this week.
The lab is abandoned. Covered in dust and blood and shrapnel. They take their time searching each room. A sound catches them off guard when they reach the last hall. At the end there is no door but there is an unmistakable sound of electricity firing up. But that can't be right. The entire compound was stripped of its contents and power sources after the raid. This sound definitely wasn't there when Jon and Nance came by last week or they would have reported it.
"Guessing you never heard about what happen to the cat?" Eddie whispers as Steve feels out the wall.
"Shhh." Steve says, feeling for a crevice or a hint of air or light or some indentation that might indicate a lever or latch or button. Steve does not find one on the wall.
But the his foot catches. On a rubber mat. They hadn't even notice the change of texture. Having been transversing over debris the entire time. Steve falls to the floor. Pulls back the mat. Underneath is a titanium door and with two hinges. Steve pulls it open despite Eddie's mutter expletives.
The door makes no sound as it opens up, but it does increase the sound of unmoored electricity. It's dark down there save a tiny glow of sparks firing off. There is metal stairs. And Steve starts to descend.
"It killed the cat, Harrington." Eddie calls after him and waits until Steve's more hair than body. He paces once, rolls his shoulders back twice, and on breath three he follows. There is loose and cut wire flailing and hazardous on the stairs. And they follow it in round until they reach concrete floor.
The room is in much greater shape then the rest of the compound. Everything above seems to be a portrait of work interrupted when hell opened up. A tool left out. A bottle of sterilizing solution uncapped. A coke can popped opened. This placed looked cared after. Steve and Eddie share a frown. And finally. FINALLY. Steve gets on his level.
"I don't got a good feeling about this." Steve mumbles.
"Yeah? What gave it away? Was it the secret trap door or the live wire we had to avoid on the way down?"
They scan the room and find a machine hidden behind a glass door.
"And what's your feeling on this, huh?" Eddie says with wild eyes and waving towards the machine.
It looked like a electric chair. In tandem. There were two seats. Leather buckles for a pair of arms and legs each. A dome that hung on a hinge that Eddie suspected was for the head.
"Shut up." Steve sighs.
Eddie walks over to the chamber and a panel reveals itself from a grey box affixed to the glass as soon as he is a foot away. Or something like a panel. More like three buttons and a switch.
"What do you think would happen if I hit the one that says open?"
"Don't even think about it."
But Eddie was laughing and he's always laughed with his body, and not meaning to AT ALL, well, his arm hit it anyway. The glass door slid open like automatic doors to a grocery.
"Jesus--are you--Eddie! Are you serious right now?"
"I didn't mean to." Eddie softly.
"What do you think it does?" Steve asked softer. They both shuffled forward, stepping into the glass case, circling the chairs.
"Not sure I want to stick around to find out." Eddie frowns.
"Yeah, definitely not." Steve nods. "Let's get the hell out of here."
That's when the glass doors shut. A high beam of light. Rainbow of colors. One second passes. Feeling like a plane lifting off. Another and a feeling of nausea. Eddie wakes up next to Steve on the concrete floor. The light is gone. The glass doors are open.
Only.
They lie next to one of their flashlights. And it's five times their size.
Cue the guys trying to get back to the rest of the party for help-- traveling for what feels like months through microcosms of forest and suburb, meeting bugs and critters that help them, learning about each other's bravery-- so they can restore them back to their natural state.

Anna: I gotta go
Brie: so what? I thought you were the president
Anna: I am the president. But presidents have less freedom than anybody. And they don’t have any fun.

most of you are probably very familiar with the 1989 classic, honey i shrunk the kids, you may even have a vague awareness of its 1992 sequel, honey i blew up the kid, BUT. how many of you are familiar with the THIRD film in the series, honey we shrunk ourselves, which went direct to video in 1997? well i am i used to watch it all the time when i was young in fact i liked it more than the original film and i've never even seen the second one and in that third movie there's a scene where a kid passes out bc he has low potassium so they have to feed him a banana (bc bananas are high in potassium) in small pieces and i probably think about it every third or fourth banana i eat.
