Guys, what IS this movie and why does it exist? From 1994 and directed by Ivan Reitman, Junior stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and Emma Thompson and involves men having babies, some really terrible stereotyping of women and pregnant women and Aerosmith being used as a red herring? Yeah, it's weird guys! We think these movies are made as some sort of bone thrown to women - hey look guys CAN understand what you're going through ... isn't that wonderful? But really it just makes us look even worse, let's be honest.  We'll talk about the complicated thing where women scientists can either be ice queens or ditzy klutzes, how much suspension of actual science/biology is too much, and why does Hollywood make women cut their hair into unfortunate mom cuts once they pop out a baby?  

Baby Month continues here on LMSU and as Sweetie is now nine months pregnant, we thought it fitting to watch Nine Months! From 1995 and starring Hugh Grant in his first Hollywood featured film AND directed and written by Chris Columbus of Adventures in Babysitting and Home Alone fame, Nine Months tackles the question men often ask themselves ... am I ready for a baby to uproot my totally awesome, non children life? What luxury to be able to ask yourself that AFTER you knock up your girlfriend of five years by accident! Too late pal! Also starring Julianne Moore as perfect but baby crazy gf Rebecca, Joan Cusack and Tom Arnold as a couple friend trying to convince them that kids are GREAT and Jeff Goldblum as toxic bachelor friend with an unfortunate earring. Oh and don't forget Robin Williams as the crazy Russian OBGYN! Sweetie will try to tackle some of the pregnancies myths trotted out in this film, we'll talk about how all these pregnancy films are through the dude's POV, and men with earrings in the 90s and beyond! 

June is officially Baby Month here at Large Marge Sent Us as we prepare to welcome Sweetie Jr. into the club oh so soon! So to start off we watched Father of the Bride Part II, probably one of our favorite baby centric movies and really a near perfect sequel. All the favs from the original come back, Annie is married and pregnant and surprise, Nina, mother of the bride is too! This is A LOT for poor George Banks to handle as he oscillates between guy going through a mid life crisis because he's about to be a grandfather and guy going through a crisis because he's about to be a dad thrice over at the age of 56.  Whew, poor guy.  We'll talk about some of the Hollywoodisms surrounded pregnancy, labor and delivery, how George Banks' level of obsession with his daughter is borderline creeper, and what we think of the name Chloe Dankman for a baby name! Every party has a pooper guys!
