Not Quite Human (1987) w/ Christen
My wife Christen is back on the main show to break in the first "official" On The Bubble Pick. We talk about our different upbringings, the theme of inattentive parenting that seems to pop up in all the movies we talk about, and the casual portrayal of family-friendly AI in the 1980s, as we dive into the Disney Channel TV Movie:
Not Quite Human (1987)
Dr. Jonas Carson, a scientist, invents Chip, an android teenager. Dr. Carson sends Chip to school with his daughter Becky to see whether an android could interact with others. But his former employer decides to try and make a profit by stealing the mechanical boy.Director: Steven Hillard Stern
Screenplay: Alan Ormsby
Based On the Novels by: Seth McEvoy
Stars: Jay Underwood, Alan Thicke, Robyn Lively, Joseph Bologna
