🎙️ Ep 1: "Weird Science" – AI Girlfriends, '80s Pimples, and Unexpected Missile Launches 💻👙🚀

In the premiere of So I Married a Millennial, Jeremy introduces Lauren to the gloriously unhinged 1985 John Hughes “classic” Weird Science — 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 she’s actively grooming children?!

This episode includes:
🧠 A deep dive into 1980s techno-magic logic
👾 AI ethics (but make it horny and neon)
🎭 Robert Downey Jr. without veneers
💄 A lingerie montage featuring actual children (???)
💥 A surprise missile — because, why not?
🐷 And yes, Bill Paxton turns into a literal turd monster.
