Animal House (1978)

We’re heading back to Faber College for 1978’s Animal House. Is this still one of the greatest comedies ever made, or has nearly 50 years of changing tastes finally put Delta House on double secret probation? Are the Deltas lovable underdogs fighting the establishment, or are we actually rooting for a bunch of complete assholes?  Does John Belushi’s cafeteria scene belong in the physical-comedy Hall of Fame? We tackle all this and more.   Grab your toga, fire up the Deathmobile, and remember: fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.  •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:24:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.
