Plot summary

Two super-nerds, Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), unable to find girls on their own, hack into the Pentagon's mainframe and use government technology to create a computer simulation of a "the perfect woman" in order to place her in "real life sexual situations" and see how she reacts. Mysteriously, the result is "Lisa," (Kelly LeBrock), a real-life woman and sexed-up but deeply caring "80s babe" with Einstein's IQ, David Lee Roth's attitude and inexplicable sci-fi powers. Self-aware from the moment of her creation, Lisa sets about revealing their inner coolness, transforming Gary and Wyatt from nerds into men through a series of wacky and bizarre adventures, which include summoning the cast of The Road Warrior to crash a party at Wyatt's house and turning Wyatt's abusive brother Chet (Bill Paxton) into a gigantic, anthropomorphic mound of feces.

TV series
