ποΈ Ep 1: "Weird Science" β AI Girlfriends, '80s Pimples, and Unexpected Missile Launches π»ππ
In the premiere of So I Married a Millennial, Jeremy introduces Lauren to the gloriously unhinged 1985 John Hughes βclassicβ Weird Science β a movie about two 15-year-old boys who build a sexy AI genie woman using a computer, a Barbie doll, and absolutely no understanding of how computers work.
Lauren has... questions. Like, Why is Robert Downey Jr. here? Why is the internet a bowling alley? Why does Lisa have godlike powers? And why is everyone okay with the fact that sheβs actively grooming children?!
This episode includes:
π§ A deep dive into 1980s techno-magic logic
πΎ AI ethics (but make it horny and neon)
π Robert Downey Jr. without veneers
π A lingerie montage featuring actual children (???)
π₯ A surprise missile β because, why not?
π· And yes, Bill Paxton turns into a literal turd monster.
