Episode 282: ‘House Party’ Hopping (1990->2023)

Episode notes

“A nice guy and his playboy buddy host an ill-advised mega-party.” That vague logline is what the original HOUSE PARTY (1990) starring Kid n Play has in common with the new HOUSE PARTY, starring Jacob Lattimore and Tosin Cole. Well, that and the title. For today’s episode, the core gang digs into a whole comparative analysis of these two movies. 

Then, there’s a new round of nominees for the Hall of Excellence.
