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!

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?! 1997 brought us this silly little spin-off from everyone's favorite kid's sketch comedy show, All That. Good Burger is all about Ed, a kind hearted, yet dim witted fast food employee who is not that great at his job or being able to take things not literally, but dang we sure do love him.  He soon meets Dexter, who needs to earn mega money during summer vacation to fix his teacher's car, which he side swiped while illegally driving his mom's car.  When Mondo Burger, a giant corporate like fast food joint moves across from sweet little mom and pop Good Burger and threatens to put them out of business with their collosal burgers, Ed and Dexter figure out a way to keep Good Burger in business involving a secret sauce.  Cue very intense Mondo Burger villian Kurt who will do anything to make sure Good Burger doesn't succeed, a trip to a mental hospital, and some exploding burgers to round out this gem.  We miss this kind of silly kid humor and Sweety remembers fondly all the lines she used to quote from this movie.  We'll talk about what an incredible cast this movie has, try to figure out what's in the secret Ed sauce, and find ourselves singing way too many times ... "He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes."

1994 brought us My Father the Hero, a really inappropriate movie about trying to make a hot guy jealous by pretending your father is your boyfriend, a movie plot that could only come from one place ... France! That's right - this American remake of Mon Pere Ce Heros - stars Gerard Depardieu, the Frenchman Du Jour of the 80s and 90s and Katherine Heigl, very pre Grey's Anatomy as she looks like a tiny baby!  The plot is ridiculous but stay for the epic soundtrack by the Baha Men of Who Let The Dog's Out Fame (and we couldn't stop singing THAT all episode, let me tell you), Nikki's cute wardrobe and inside out French braid, and try to stop your brain from doing mental gymnastics wondering how a movie like this gets made! Guy incorrectly and unbeknowst to him, outed as a  pedophile by his teenage daughter just so she can score a makeout sesh with a hot dude?! Cue the hilarity! Bonus - best thing we learned all week, The Baha Men are named the Baha Men because they are from the BAHA-mas! WHOA.

We finally watched Mannequin! Man, has this 1987 CLASSIC been tough to find but the Egyptian gods were on our side this week (also known as HBO Max) and we were able to view this kooky movie about a Jonathan Switcher, a struggling artist who can't hold down a decent job! However, turns out this mannequin he sculpted (?) is actually a hot Egyptian woman named Emmy who is traveling through time looking for the love of her life! Funny thing is, only Jonathan can see her alive. Jonathan and Emmy get into some hijinks, there's a great silly montage, and they also create really cool window displays for the department store Emmy's mannequin self models in.  Rival department store and Jonathan's ex girlfriend get jealous, Emmy almost gets chopped to bits. Oops, did I say too much? This movie is peak 80s hilarity, but also somewhat heart warming if you toss aside all the female objectivity and sexual harrassment as a cool, funny joke! We talk about how mannequins are really hard to come by these days, our fond memories when department stores were queen, and how Kim Cattrall kills it in whatever she does.
