An interesting fact is the house where Kid tries to get it on with Tisha Campbell in HOUSE PARTY is also the NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST. house. I have been by here many times. It’s way closer to Hollywood Boulevard than you’d expect.

Many of us said so. “Communist spyware” was always a red herring. They didn’t want kids talking about the world outside the parameters of billionaire-owned corporate media.

As someone who hosts screenings, my interpretation of this is younger people yearn for communal cultural experiences because they’ve been denied them the longest. The out of touch adult defends all big tech as being down with the kids but kids are critical of this stuff because it’s forced on them.

Yeah, and this is the kind of argument I see people (mostly on the right) make all the time. “Everything is SO political now. Why can’t movies about vampires just be about vampires?!” They never were! If a movie doesn’t remind you of anything about the real world, it’s probably boring as hell.

I don’t think that’s a legal term.

I’m kind of shocked how much impact this one scene in a 32-year-old movie I never see referenced in any other context had on my generation. Also, listen to our new podcast because we talk about it.

We even have a whole (now obscure) movie called KITCHEN PARTY starring the alien girl from THE FACULTY and the squinty boy from FELICITY. It has the most late-90s poster design I’ve ever seen.

I went to a haunted corn maze last night. To not get scared, it’s important to remember that even if the workers there know Kung fu it’s illegal for them to use it except in self-defense.
