Large Marge Sent Us

Here on the Large Marge Sent Us podcast, Sweety and Sweetie are our names and nostalgia is our game! Once a week (or more if you're lucky!) we watch movies from the 80s and 90s that shaped our childhoods and then have a sisterly chat about them. We usually sing songs and there's about a 100% chance we'll crack up with bouts of laughter. We hope you will too! So come join us and step back into a time when life was good and the movies were even better Logo created lovingly by Frankie Donlon. Follow us on Twitter @TheSweetieClub and on Facebook!

We're going to the DANGER ZONE guys! This week we watched Top Gun and bottom line ...  we are CONFUSED about this plot! However, we're not confused that this movie made Tom Cruise even more of a giant mega star and includes some really awesome soundtrack jams, shirtless sweaty men playing volleyball, and a ton of really exciting shots of fighter jets going really, really fast! We'll choose our own call signs (Duchess and Spitfire!), play a really fun game where we try to guess some military flying terminology (bogey! picklebutton! tumbleweed!), and talk about how Tom Cruise seems like a really gross kisser and we actually think his character is kind of a little shit in this movie.  Take my breath awayyyyyyy.

Who's ready to get spooooky? 1999 brought us M. Night Shyamalan or more importantly The Six Sense and the world of movies with a twist was never the same again! Featuring Bruce Willis, Toni Colette and cute as a button Haley Joel Osment in a scary movie about a little boy who sees ghosts - and one of those ghosts - SPOILER ALERT - is Bruce Willis but GET THIS, he doesn't know he's dead! IS THAT CRAZY OR WHAT? Okay, so at the time this movie was the twistiest (is this a word?) thing since vanilla and chocolate soft serve. The world was blown away but then unfortunately M. Night had to keep up with making every movie he did with a twist, and shit came off the rails.  But we do love The Sixth Sense, for the wonderful horror movie that it is! We'll revisit our opinions on ghosts, talk about how amazing Donnie Wahlberg is in this and why the hell didn't he became a giant megastar versus his little brother with no talent, and the rise and fall and perhaps rise again of M. Night's movie oeuvre.  We're seeing dead people, look out!

The hooker with the heart of gold movies NEVER GET OLD. Tale as old as time guys! Just because you're selling yourself on Hollywood Boulevard doesn't mean you're some cracked out 'ho! It probably just means you followed some busted ass boyfriend from Georgia and got sick of frying up burgers at McDonald's so you decided to turn tricks instead! Yes, this is the plot of Pretty Woman, the Gary Marshall classic from 1990 that catapulted Julia Roberts into a gigantic mega star, and you know what? Despite the plot being a tad shady and far fetched, Julia fucking rules in this movie! While we can't say the same for Richard Gere's character Edward (dudsville, Vivian you can do better! Spread those wings girl!), we thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's pretty damn charming and has some great 90s references that always feel like a balm on our weary 2018 souls.  We chat about what our prostitute looks would be, why Julia Robert slays in this film, how if your last name is Stuckey there's a good chance you're a big ole raper, and we'll talk about all our favorite Pretty Woman looks and sing two 90s gems from the soundtrack.

In the early aughts, it was super popular to want to be a faux slut and then in the year 2000 along came the movie Coyote Ugly and a whole generation of women dreamed of becoming songwriters.  JUST KIDDING. They dreamed of wearing slutty crop tops and dancing on a bar. DUH.  Coyote tells the story of Violet Sanford, an inspiring songwriter with bad stage fright who moves from her small NJ town to live on the mean streets of NYC. After a burglary leaves her without any cash and her song writing career not turning out quite as she planned (despite meeting a really hot Aussie dude), she finds a job at Coyote Ugly, a bar where the only rules are don't bring your boyfriends around and don't date the customers. Oh and of course HELL NO H20.  We loved this movie and soundtrack so much - it nearly defined our late middle school and high school lives and we totally subscribed to the faux slut look society was pedaling at the time. We'll talk about the longevity of a bar like Coyote Ugly, how Violet's bad karaoke schtick and dance moves weren't really all that impressive, and lucky you sing most of the songs from the kick-ass soundtrack! 

Don't forget we now got MERCH.  That's right, get your t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring our awesome logo here at Tee Public: http://tee.pub/lic/QO4NIbyV7-Y
