The 2nd one they did and also the only serious one was the 1986 remake of 'The Fly', in which Jeff played a good natured but lonely mad scientist who turned into a giant fly monster (that looked nothing like a fly and something more like a killer praying mantis) and Geena played his journalist lover. and Geena played a sex starved nymph who was convinced she was a vampire.

The first film, also the film where they met, was the horror movie spoof 'Transylvania 6-5000' (which I keep looking for but can't seem to find), in which Jeff played a reporter sent to Transylvania to follow a story with partner Ed Begley Jr. I can respect that.Former real life Hollywood couple Jeff Goldblum & Geena Davis made 3 films together, two of them comedies, one of them serious. For a performer who was essentially a novelty act, that’s pretty much a big check in the W column.Īnd, yeah, I’m probably being kinder to this movie than it deserves, but it’s got no illusions about what it is. The point is Julie Brown got to milk her fifteen minutes and make her movie with sexy aliens and goofy songs and a future Oscar winner, and it got released on the big screen. The point is the aliens have to go, and Geena goes with them, because why not? Doctor Love tries to get Geena back, and starts some sort of fight with the aliens. The rest of the plot is largely negligible, as the aliens party on Earth, hook up with girls, and Geena and Jeff fall in love. Shaving and dying the aliens turns them into Goldblum and pre-fame Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. (There is a small bit of business involving shrinking and growing when entering and exiting the ship, probably because they wanted to commit to the idea of crashing an alien spaceship in a pool, and had to justify it being that small.)Īnyhow, after some wackiness and miscommunication, Geena makes friends with the aliens, and then takes them to her hair salon (the “Curl Up and Dye”) to make-over them to Earth acceptable. This causes them to crash their spaceship in her pool. And by “surveying”, I mean spying on Geena sunbathing in her bikini. So while Geena Davis is bemoaning her romantic woes, three furry aliens are surveying Earth in their spaceship. Seriously, it just happens, and then the movie goes back to the plot. The biggest indulgence along those lines is a completely extraneous number of “Because I’m A Blonde”-another one of her hits on the Doctor Demento Show– in which Julie performs in blonde wig, but it was absolutely nothing to do with her regular character in the movie. In fact, most of the musical duty is provided by Julie Brown herself. So she kicks him out of the house and electrocutes his fish, while lip-synching a ballad that is clearly, clearly not Geena Davis singing.

He attempts to surprise seduce her fiancé Doctor Love (played by the late Charles Rockett) reveals that he’s been cheating on her with his nurses. Geena plays a hairdresser with severe romantic problems, despite the fact that she looks like, well, Geena Davis. Needless to say, for them to cash in that capital working on what would never be more than a cult movie-after all, a musical alien-sex-comedy wasn’t exactly going to be the sleeper hit of the year-well that was a strange choice.Īnyhow, Julie plays second banana in her own movie, being the best friend to Geena. This movie is mostly known for being the follow-up for then husband-and-wife team Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum, having gotten together and increased their collective fame quotient with The Fly. I liked the song, but it was pretty damn obscure, so it was quite surprising to see that Julie Brown was producing a movie of the same name. But one of the minor elements in her canon was a ditty called “Earth Girls Are Easy”, in which Julie sings about get seduced by a horny alien. She was most known on there for her song “The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gun”, which was about… well, it’s right there in the title. So in my teenage years, I was a fan of The Doctor Demento Show, where he’d play a whole slew of novelty songs, and it was there that I first became familiar with Julie Brown.
