This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel is heading back to the world of Disney's Not Quite Human for Not Quite Human II!
Chip is heading off to college, but being a teenage android doesn't exactly make dating and fitting in any easier. Enter Roberta, played by our recent guest Katie Barberi, and suddenly Chip's artificial intelligence has to deal with something much more complicated — love!
We dig into everything, including:
๐ค Chip's return and the decision to take our favorite android to college
โค๏ธ Roberta and Chip's very unusual romance
๐ฌ Katie Barberi's performance as Roberta and the stories she shared with us about making the movie
๐ Alan Thicke completely missing Professor Grey's very deliberate advances — despite her making her intentions pretty clear
๐ Robin Lively having way too much fun playing matchmaker while seemingly not caring all that much about what happens to her brother
๐ซ The movie's attempt to combine Disney family comedy, teen romance, and science fiction
๐ The very '80s approach to college life, technology, and teenage relationships
๐พ The movie's take on artificial intelligence long before AI became part of everyday life
๐ญ Alan Thicke, Jay Underwood, Robin Lively, and the returning cast
โ๏ธ The Arizona heat—and Katie's incredible story about passing out on her first day of filming
๐ฅ The Disney sequel formula and how Not Quite Human II fits into the era of made-for-TV movies
๐ค Whether this sequel successfully expands the original or takes Chip in a completely different direction
And, of course, we'll be talking about whether Not Quite Human II deserves to be remembered as one of those wonderfully weird Disney sequels that fans discover years later.
