In the discussion (12)
Approx. transcript time · 00:50:31Read transcript

  • Overwhelmingly white casting criticized, initial no Black cast claim corrected for choir teacher.
  • Soundtrack album disappointing because prominent film songs absent; Laid corrected as trailer song, revival and trailer praised.
  • Stifler misogynistic insults and homophobia condemned as material rightly unacceptable now.
  • Host guesses five virgin friends less plausible in 2019; another challenges the premise, so no demographic fact established.
  • Within their planned fifteen-film 1999 series, this is judged the worst and worst-aged despite being most popular; slate comparison only.
