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!

If you grew up in the 1990s and had the Disney Channel you most definitely caught one of the better Disney original movies - Not Quite Human, which spawned two sequels (ooo a trilogy!) - and made us really invested in the life of Chip, the Android! Played by Jay Underwood, known to us only as Bug from Uncle Buck and also starring Alan Thicke (RIP best dad ever) and Robin Lively (Teen Witch - top that!), Not Quite Human is all about androids and is basically the 1980s meets the story of Pinocchio. Jonas Carson creates a life like teenage boy android and wants to see if with continued exposure to human kind, a robot can become more human.   So he sends Chip off to school, has him interact with kids his own age, and tries to teach him the wild ride that is the English language. So many expressions and euphemisms we have! Meanwhile, some crazy businessman is trying to steal Chip to sell his android technology to defense contractors.  But really this movie is all about literal comedy and what happens when an android gets dropped into the teenage years - with bullies, girls, and barf burgers to contend with.  We talk about AI and how the 80s thought they were so close to having it with all that busted technology, how Jay Underwood deserves a B list Oscar for this performance, and talk a bit about the sequels where Chip goes to college and Dr. Carson gets an android of himself!
