“Toga! Toga! Animal House Revisited”

Welcome back to Sparrows UnderReview! In this episode, Stacey and JR travel back to 1978 to dive into the chaotic, beer-soaked world of National Lampoon’s Animal House.

🍻 What’s On the Slate:

• Stacey’s Hot Takes: Why this movie would never get made today — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

• JR’s Logic Lens: Breaking down the frat house dynamics, character archetypes, and the surprisingly sharp political commentary buried under food fights and toga parties.

• Legacy Talk: Does Animal House still hold up? Or has its wild humor aged like milk left out at a Delta Tau Chi party?

• Behind-the-Scenes Bits: From John Belushi’s legendary improvisations to the studio doubting it would make a dime.

• Sparrow Ratings: Find out how many sparrows Stacey and JR give to the godfather of gross-out comedies.
