MAKING LOVE TO PIES

A Timely and Heartfelt Conversation About the American Pie Franchise

Instead of doing our normal back-and-forth about the week's newest movie trailers, we decided to discuss our anticipation (or lack thereof) for American Reunion. More often than not, we see things eye-to-eye. This film is not one of those things. Not even close.

Browne: So, Silver, the next installment of the American Pie franchise is coming out. We haven't talked about this at length, but I get the sense you're very excited about this film, which couldn't be more different than my feelings about it. What is it that excites you so much? Seriously, I'm confused. After that, I'll give you my initial semi-rude take on it and then, who knows? Maybe I'll go into this weekend with one really nice thought about Biggs and the gang. Or maybe I'll get even more mad. Who knows? Don't hold back.

SCOUTING REPORT

American Reunion Trailer: Alyson Hannigan, Others Return

By Andy Greenwald at

Time moves faster in our Internet-addled universe. It seems like just recently our collective nostalgia cannons were pointed squarely on the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind and that only mere days ago we were celebrating the return of animated arsonists Beavis and Butt-Head. But our thirst for the thin gruel of the past is unquenchable: This April sets the clocks back to the summer of 1999 with American Reunion, the fourth film in the famous pie-fornicating franchise.
