Episode 172: Aladdin
May 17, 2019 13:46 - 1 hour - 60 MBSweetie is turning 36 this weekend, wohooo, so time to watch another favorite film of hers, the always wonderful, never duplicated Aladdin! From 1992, Aladdin was the 3rd Disney cartoon to come out (behind Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast) that completely captivated us as children. So much so, we still know every dang lyric to Friend Like Me and Prince Ali, 30 years later! Since Disney cartoons are on virtual lockdown, and you can't stream them anywhere, our lovely friend Jill who own...
Episode 171: Big Top Pee Wee
May 09, 2019 11:28 - 1 hour - 49.7 MBThe sequel to one of the podcast's favorite films, Big Top Pee Wee from 1988 is a real stinker! What is this movie guys?!! Suddenly Pee Wee is the owner of a farm in 1940s middle America, has a talking pig named Vance, a new girlfriend named Winnie and a degree in botany?! Well one day a storms literally blows in a circus and all hell breaks loose! Starring Paul Reubens, Kris Krisofferson, Penelope Ann Miller and ... Benicio del Toro in his first movie role as a dog, we'll talk about how we ...
Episode 170: Liar Liar
May 01, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBThe 90s were a boom time for Jim Carrey! I mean the guy was unstoppable! Clowning around as Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Lloyd Christmas really catapulted him to fame. So it was only natural he'd reunite with the director of Ace Ventura, Tom Shadyac, and try something a little different. With Liar, Liar - a movie about a lawyer who's son wishes that he can't tell a lie for a day - Jim started his everyday man plopped into wacky situation situation schitck, and hey it works both because of a f...
Episode 169: Robin Hood Men in Tights
April 26, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBWe're men. We're men in tight, TIGHT, tights. Robin Hood Men In Tights from 1993, is another Mel Brooks film we grew up quoting the hell out of in our youth! Spoofing the very spoofable Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (and many other films), this movie flew right over our heads in the 90s but we loved it nonetheless. From Cary Elwes, snooty yet heroic Robin, adorable Blinkin, the worst blind man ever, and even Maid Marion's ratty, red curly wig, we love it all! We'll talk about whether we think...
Episode 168: The Wizard Oz
April 19, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 73.1 MBNot all of the movies that shaped our childhoods are from the 80s and 90s. We can't forget all those well worn classics that our parents made us watch and that we grew to love as well. So this week we did our oldest movie to date and probably the most famous movie in the world, from 1939 ... The Wizard of Oz! Everyone knows the story, the characters, and the iconic costumes and footwear but are we right in thinking this movie is creepy as a winged monkey now?! Jiminy Crickets! Listen up as...
167: Batman Forever
April 08, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB1995's Batman Forever is the third installment of the Batman franchise as well as the first one not directed by Tim Burton but also the FIRST one that the Sweeties saw in the theaters! Michael Keaton is out and Val Kilmer is in as the brooding, conflicted Bruce Wayne who still can't come to terms with losing his parents or his love of bats. We loved this movie as kids but on this rewatch realized it's maybe not the greatest? We adore Jim Carrey's The Riddler (even if he gets a bit too hammy...
Episode 166: Coneheads
March 30, 2019 04:00 - 53 minutes - 41.4 MBHey guys, remember when the SNL spin off movies were actually good? Well along with Wayne's World, Coneheads is up there as a SNL skit turned movie that is pretty much GOLD in our book. Starring Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtin as Beldar and Prymaat Conehead from the planet Remulak, who find them themselves stuck on Earth after their space ship crashes into the Hudson River. They make a life here and what do you know, the American Dream can come true even if you're an alien with a pointy head and...
Episode 165: Fried Green Tomatoes
March 21, 2019 16:00 - 59 minutes - 47.1 MBTawanda!!!!! Time to head over The Whistle Stop Cafe for some Fried Green Tomatoes! From 1991, another great southern women rock movie based on the book by Fannie Flagg! This episode goes out to our fan friend Nikki, as it's one of her favorites, and while not as familiar to the Sweeties other than the traumatizing AF kid gets boot stuck in train track while steaming train comes along scene, we really love it for its depiction of female solidarity and friendship and love both sexual and plat...
164: Airplane!
March 15, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 50 MBTonight we covered one of our top spoof comedies, 1980's Airplane! A parody of a lot of the disaster movies from the 1970s, Airplane! involves food poisoning on a jet bound for Chicago that knocks out all the pilots. The only one who can land the plane is a former war pilot with severe PTSD from his flying days. Despite being somewhat foggy on the jokes and having to ask our dad alottta questions, this was one of our favorite movies as children. Chocked full of play on word type jokes, sil...
Episode 163: Goldeneye
March 08, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB1995's Goldeneye introduced The Sweeties to the James Bond franchise and while Pierce Brosnan is not our favorite bond, he does hold a special place in our heart as our first 007! Post Cold War times, Goldeneye involves a lot of angry Russians, two Bond girls that are pretty bad ass bitches (one a computer programmer and one can kill you with her legs!), and some crazy satellite missile defense system that's about to take London back to the stone age! We'll talk about our love for the franch...
Episode 162: The Brady Bunch Movie
March 01, 2019 14:03 - 56 minutes - 45.5 MBThe 90s brought us a lot of spoofs of class TV shows. You got your Addams Family. Your Beverly Hillbillies. And our favorite The Brady Bunch! Spun from the classic TV show that ran from 1969 to 1974, The Brady Bunch Movie imagines the Brady family dropped into Los Angeles in 1995 - still dressed in their 70s glory and spouting all their wholesome ways. A classic fish out of water story if we've ever heard one! The Sweeties actually saw this movie in the theater in 1995! Wow! Thus some of th...
Episode 161: The Wedding Singer
February 22, 2019 22:19 - 49 minutes - 38.7 MBWhile Adam Sandler isn't necessarily the Sweeties cup of tea, we will gladly celebrate The Wedding Singer, the 1998 homage to the 80s as a rom com that we absolutely loved! We can take Adam Sandler in small doses, but we love his toned done portrayal of true romantic Robbie Hart, wedding singer extraordinaire, who gets left at the altar by bitchy fiancee Linda and vows off love forever. But who can say no to true love when you befriend cute as a button Julia, played by Drew Barrymore?? We'll...
Episode 160: Little Women
February 13, 2019 17:00 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBGet out your Victorian era hankies, it's time for another tear jerker! We're huge fans of the 1994 version of Little Women staring 90s it girl and Sweetie look-a-like Winona Ryder! We saw this movie in theaters and lapped up all the feminist undertones, shook our fists at that brat Amy especially when she decides to marry Laurie (WTF!) while sobbing hysterically when Claire Dane's sweet Beth's weak heart finally gives out! And kittens! Omg why are there so many kittens in this movie?! We'll ...
Episode 159: Space Jam
February 08, 2019 05:00 - 53 minutes - 41.9 MBTwo things that were really HUGE in 1996 were Michael Jordan (literally so tall) and Looney Tunes, so OF COURSE best idea ever let's put them in a movie together, add a dash of Bill Murray and Newman and a really sappy song by R. Kelly (cough cough trash bag) and BOOM blockbuster! So Space Jam was born and all the 10 year olds were happy! Sweety is a big fan of this film, but Sweetie the elder has never seen it all the way through yet still got the chills when MJ popped out of that space shi...
Episode 158: Bring It On
January 24, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBBring it On from 2000 was a huge hit! Choreographed dances, clever cheerleading puns, and girls in mid drift tops?! What is not to love?? Starring Kirsten Dunst as Torrence Shipman (craziest name ever) who takes over as cheerleading captain senior year for the Rancho Carne Toros, only to find out her predecessor Big Red stole their cheer routines from the East Compton Clovers! What will we doooo? Bring it On belongs in the realm of several high school comedies that came out in the late 90s, ...
Episode 157: Teen Wolf
January 15, 2019 05:00 - 49 minutes - 39 MBWe'd thought it was time to go back to the 80s for our next movie selection, and more specifically 1985 when Teen Wolf starting Michael J. Fox was released! Sweety has never seen this pretty class 80s movie about a high schooler with zero self confidence and debatable basketball skills, who discovers he's actually a werewolf! Turns out everyone in school thinks it's pretty cool and lucky for him it also gives him magical powers to be basically good at anything. So he sky rockets in populari...
Episode 156: She's All That
January 07, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBTime for another 90s teen rom com! What Sweety deems her favorite high school teen movie, She's All That has got some problemos but we do love it. Trotting out the tale as old as time of man makes "ugly" girl beautiful and everyone loves her for the person she's always been we ate this shit up, much to our chagrin. I mean give us a makeover scene to a Six Pence None the Richer song and we're yours. We are weak! Starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Freddie Prinze Jr, Paul Walker, Matthew Lillard, Lil ...
Episode 155: Austin Powers
December 28, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBWe've had a hankering for Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery forever and lucky for you today is the day that we dive into the ins and outs of penis enlargers! Austin Powers came out in peak Mike Myers era where the guy could do no wrong - so much so he made three Austin Powers movies in the span of a couple years and man were they funny! Much like the rest of the world, we were Groovy Babying all through the late 90s and early 2000s! This movie is still hilariously funny and Mike My...
Episode 154: The Santa Clause
December 21, 2018 05:00 - 57 minutes - 45 MBMerry Christmas from the Sweeties! We'd thought we'd do one more Xmas themed film to whet your Oscar Meyer Weenie Whistle! From 1994, The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen is about a sad dad named Scott Calvin who becomes the new Santa Claus, once the old Santa Claus falls off his roof and kicks the bucket. At first Scott is in denial, but with the help of his sweet always believing son Charlie, turns into a pretty good Santa and in the process a pretty good dad as well! How heartwarming! Thi...
Episode 153: Home Alone 2 Lost in New York
December 13, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.9 MBDear Kevin, Sweetie and Sweety think you should definitely get rid of your family because they are trash. Go live with Mr. Duncan or maybe the pigeon lady (Maggie?) in the park....your life will be better and people will appreciate you. K bye. The Sweeties To get in the Christmas spirit, we're covering a couple holiday films including this beloved sequel, Home Alone 2! The unbelievability is off the charts with this one as Kevin is somehow left behind on a family trip agai...
Episode 152: Feds
December 07, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBWe weren't sure if many people were aware of this gem from 1988, but I hope we'll be pleasantly surprised that many LMSU fans are also fans of the movie F.E.D.S.! Following the success of the Police Academy movies, the buddy cop genre blew up and F.E.D.S. was the amazing, feminist version! Starring Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross as FBI trainees and unlikely bff's - one is a Marine, the other a "pecker head" - but together they make an amazing team and try to dismantle the patriarchy known ...
Episode 151: Footloose
November 29, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBGuys, kick off your Sunday shoes! Oooo weee. We did Footloose, yippee! Despite this being a giant movie in terms of 80s awesomeness, neither Sweetie or Sweety has seen this movie all the way through. Whoopsie. But we feel like we have because it's that epic of a film! Starring Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormick, amateur gymnast and new kid in a small suffocating town that has outlawed music, dancing, and really anything fun, Footloose proves that when you ban something, it's a really bad idea and ...
Episode 150: Save the Last Dance
November 20, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MBToday we're bringing you guys another dance centric flick on Large Marge Sent Us, none other than Save the Last Dance, everyone's second favorite Julia Stiles film!

So she's forced to move to the mean streets of Chicago and live with her Jazz Dad, Roy and she swears off ballet forever, convinced it was her fault her mot...
Episode 149: Sixteen Candles
November 08, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBJohn Hughes directorial debut from 1984, 16 Candles, is a hell of a controversial film! With offensive Asian stereotypes and a laissez faire attitude about sexual harassment and consent, it's hard to love this film through the lens of 2018, but it has its moments. I mean what person hasn't fantasized about a person seemingly out of their reach, only to have them show up at your sister's wedding, buy you a belated birthday cake, and make out with you atop a glass table!?? The Sweeties are a ...
Episode 148: Beaches

What Lies Beneath, directed by our boy Robert Zemeckis came out in 2000 and marked probably the first time ever that .... SPOILER ALERT, Harrison Ford plays a villain! It's packed full of creepy ghost imagery and garbage bag husbands, our two favorite things! Sweetie saw this in the movie theater back in high school and has seen it 80 times since then and was still jumping out of her seat during all the bathtub scenes. I mean is there anyth...
Episode 146: Killer Klowns from Outer Space
October 22, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBWe're keeping it spooky here on Large Marge Sent Us, so that means time to roll out KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, everyone's favorite B horror movie that traumatized you as a child and made you swear off cotton candy for a decade! Let's face it, clowns are scary no matter what. But clowns from outer space that put people into cotton candy pods and then suck your blood out? Terrifying! In the early 90s, they played this gem on TV all the time, and it freaked us out but in a really good way....
Episode 145: The Warriors
October 15, 2018 04:00 - 54 minutes - 41 MBCAN YOU DIG IT?! It's Sweety's birthday!

Episode 144: Scream
October 08, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBHappy October guys! We're starting off this month with a dash of spooky .... with 1996's Scream! Starring Neve Campbell and our favorite typecast raper, Skeet Ulrich, Sweety has been obsessed with this meta horror film since she was a wee one. Sweetie on the other hand, has only seen it once, but still totally respects it and mainly is just happy that she can watch it without hiding behind a pillow now! We'll talk about how the first scene with Drew Barrymore in the blonde wig and white swe...
Episode 143: Jerry Maguire
October 01, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBWe forgot how much we love 1996's Jerry Maguire! Starring Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger in a love story that really should just be deleted from this film as we hate it, but gosh is this movie laugh out loud funny! We were way too young to see this film when it came out, but we eventually memorized the whole thing and decided that really Jerry Maguire is a platonic love story between Jerry and Rod, two guys who just needed a friendship to make them better men! This movie has a great supporti...
Episode 142: Forrest Gump
September 25, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBFor the Sweeties, Forrest Gump is the perfect film! It hits all the notes - we've got some tears, we got laughter, we got a somewhat scary Vietnam war sequence, we got SHRIMP and fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, a shrimp sandwich, shrimp salad, lemon shrimp, shrimp bisque ... and we got TOM HANKS and ROBERT ZEMECKIS, who could ask for anything more! Let's face it, Forrest Gump is a classic from our childhood that we'll never forget! Tune in as we chat about what Jenny is our favorite (disco Jen...
Episode 141: Pretty in Pink
September 17, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBIt's time for the Sweeties to tackle another John Hughes film. This week, Pretty in Pink or as we like to call it Pretty in a Really Ugly Pink Dress! Pretty in Pink written by John Hughes yet directed by some other fella stars 80s teen movie muse Molly Ringwald as Andie, a girl too cool for her lame high school that's run by yuppies who wear linen suits and drive BMWs. Her and her bff Duckie constantly make fun of the yuppies, until one such yuppie Blaine (yuppiest name EVER) asks her out an...
Episode 140: Joe Versus the Volcano
September 11, 2018 04:00 - 58 minutes - 45.7 MBThe Sweeties are back from Ireland, we just bought a new car, and BONUS we decided to watch probably your 22nd favorite Tom Hanks movie .... Joe Versus The Volcano! From 1990 and starring Meg Ryan, times three, this is an oddball of a film that is hopelessly quirky yet funny and romantic in an off beat sort of way. Joe Banks is a hypochondriac with a shittay job until he finds out he has a brain cloud and only five months to live so he quits! Some rich old man cons him into jumping into a ...
Episode 139: Ghost
September 03, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 54.4 MBThe Sweeties can't get enough of ghosts! Or more specifically ghosts that look like Pat Swayze! We love 1990's Ghost - it's a triple threat. Part romance, part comedy, part thriller. As kids, this movie scared the bleep out of us, and honestly as 30 year old ladies, it's still pretty freaky! Whoopie Goldberg steals this movie (and won an Oscar to boot!) for her portrayal of psychic Oda Mae Brown. Pat and Demi have great chemistry! And Carl aka Tony Goldwyn is the the creepiest third wheel/...
Episode 138: Top Gun
August 27, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MBWe'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 ...
Episode 137: The Sixth Sense
August 20, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBWho'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 van...
Episode 136: Pretty Woman
August 13, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBThe 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?...
Episode 135: Coyote Ugly
August 07, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBIn 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 writi...

And they find it! But they also find leeches! Spoooooky. Sweety couldn't remember seeing this film, but Sweetie has fond memories of watching a movie that she...
Episode 133: 10 Things I Hate About You
July 24, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBHappy Tuesday! We thought it was about time to tackle a 90's teenage rom com because let's be honest, they have made us ALL who we are today and started with one of our favorites, 10 Things I Hate About You! From 1999 and starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger, this movie is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, a comedy that has clear problems in a world where we're starting to celebrate the "nasty" woman, but 10 Things does some good work in making it less about clipping an i...
Episode 132: Arachnophobia
July 16, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBContinuing on with our trend of covering movies that scare the bleep out of Sweety, tonight we watched Arachnophobia and realized that animals run amok movies may be our favorite genre. Starring Jeff Daniels, some other people plus John Goodman, Arachnophobia tells the story of a spider from Venezuela who needs to spread his wings and hops aboard a corpse bound for a small town in Northern California. There, he meets Doctor Jeff Daniels (also new to the area) and decides he wants to take ove...
Bonus Episode: Double Dare!
July 13, 2018 21:36 - 32 minutes - 25.9 MBBonus ep time! Who can forget the classic Nickelodeon game show (and it's longest running) Double Dare or it's other iteration Family Double Dare? Part trivia, part whacky physical challenges, Double Dare was like crack to kids because it involved literal hot messes in the forms of pies, slime, and all this other crud PLUS an obstacle course where you picked noses or rifled through oversized pancakes or ran around a giant hamster wheel! We watched a couple episodes, and it did not disappoint...
Episode 131: Jaws
July 09, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBHappy summer guys! Since it's summer, we thought it would be apropos to do the first summer blockbuster of all time----1975's JAWS! Directed by our pal (and yours!) Stevie Spiels, Jaws tells the story of a killer fish run amok in the small seaside community of Amity Island. Chief Brody, city-slicker/land lubber threatens to close the beaches after a horrendous shark attack, but mayor Larry Vaughn wants to keep them open to reap all that tourist money. Unfortunately a lot of people die and Br...
Episode 130: Independence Day
July 02, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBHappy Fourth of July from The Sweeties! With the holiday upon us, we decided it was the exact right time to trot out Independence Day, the pinnacle 90s film about aliens (in our not so humble opinion) AND the coolness that was Will Smith before he started doing "real" movies. So there are parts of this movie that are very cheesy and bad buttttt our general consensus was it's still pretty cool and stokes our patriotism fire even if our country is a hell of a hot mess right now. Though it stil...
Episode 129: Homeward Bound
June 25, 2018 04:00 - 45 minutes - 34.5 MBSWEETIE'S BACK FROM VACATION!! And we're kicking off the true start of summer with the best animal movie there is---Homeward Bound!

June 18, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBIn honor of Sweetie's real life European vacation, we watched National Lampoon's European Vacation, which is actually our first Chevy Chase film of the bunch! From 1985 and directed by one of our favs Amy Heckerling, European Vacation takes the notorious Griswold's on a Euro adventure after they accidentally win the grand prize on The Pig and the Poke game show! That grand prize turns out to be an all expenses paid trip to London, Paris, Germany and Rome! This movie is whacky with a capital ...
Episode 127: Speed
June 11, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 54.2 MBWelp Sweetie is officially on vacation but we're still bringing you alllll the hits including 1994's bomb on the bus masterpiece, Speed! Starring a hotter than average Keanu Reeves and the always spit fire Sandra Bullock, Speed scared the bleep out of us as little kids and made us terrified of elevators for the rest of our lives! Now that we're adults and slaves to the public transportation of Boston, we relate even more to this movie! I mean if I have to go on one more MBTA bus that has a b...
Episode 126: The Mask
June 04, 2018 04:00 - 59 minutes - 46.4 MBTime for another Jim Carrey masterpiece! The Mask, from 1994, was one of Sweety's favorite movie as a wee lass! After Jim Carrey's successful turn in Ace Ventura, they guy was in demand, and let's be real, The Mask is a movie that was written basically for him with a plot that can basically be summed up as nice guy loser turns into cartoon faced zany man! The Mask was a great movie to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon and honestly was a lot more funnier than both of us remembered! Sure, there...
Episode 125: Now and Then
May 29, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBWith Memorial Day Weekend now behind us, it's the unofficial start of summer and what better way to cap it off than with a watch of Now and Then! It took us forever to get to this one, because it's not streaming or available to rent anywhere! What gives? Sweety very sweetly bought a DVD copy so we can finally bring this favorite to you all, and it did not disappoint! For the "then", it's 1970 and four close friends have a magical summer riding bikes, drinking Black Cows, and conducting seanc...
