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

“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.
