  • Summary

  • The Intergenerational Movie Club continues with the Boomer classic, "Animal House." Lots of folks think they know this movie, but do they really? Or are they just remembering the clips and highlights? We dig into the connective tissue between the iconic scenes, do a semi-deep dive on the female characters, and perhaps unavoidably, revel in the Belushi of it all.

    Along the way, we consider a number of intriguing questions: how much credit does "Animal House" get for what came after it? How do we consider a movie without a lot of actual jokes during an era when joke density is paramount? Just how problematic are the inevitable problematic parts of something 45 years old? And what exactly was so definitional about this movie for Boomers?

    Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
