On Episode #137 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, the four cinematic sperms finally find their egg, and what an egg it is. The year is 1994. America is wearing denim on denim without irony. The internet is a rumor. And somewhere in Hollywood, Ivan Reitman, the comedic alchemist behind Ghostbusters and Twins, asks a question no one dared to voice aloud. What if Arnold Schwarzenegger got pregnant?

Enter Junior, a film that was marketed as a comedy, played like a fever dream, and aged like a fine bottle of prenatal vitamins. The premise? Danny DeVito plays a fertility doctor (of course he does), and Arnold plays a scientist who injects himself with an experimental serum that results in, well, a baby bump. What follows is part sci-fi absurdity, part heartfelt melodrama, and entirely unhinged.
