What the corpus says about Frat House (1998)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Frat House (1998) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about Frat House (1998) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:09:56 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] Frat House ⇒ Old School (the host's read) · lineage · Phillips' frat documentary is a template for the movie. · "Frat House, which is this really interesting kind of template for the movie that we're going to talk about."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:04:35 · Chris Ryan (0.50)] Will Ferrell ↔ Old School · lineage · Frank the Tank is an extension of his SNL Dodge Stratus guy, the suburban insanity of domesticity. · "Frank the Tank is kind of the Dodge Stratus extension."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:05:23 · Bill Simmons (0.40)] Animal House ⇒ Old School (the host's read) · lineage · Old School is the latest in a frat-movie cycle that returns every 10 to 15 years, starting with Animal House. · "It is in keeping with the kind of every 10 to 15 years frat movie that we now get."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:05:45 · Chris Ryan (0.50)] Ivan Reitman ⇒ Old School (the host's read) · lineage · Phillips and Armstrong's movie owes a lot to Ivan Reitman's 80s comedies; it is their son. · "it owes a lot to the Ivan Reitman comedies of the 80s."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:06:03 · Bill Simmons (0.40)] Old School ↔ Stripes · lineage · Old School sits in the Animal House-to-early-80s run of comedy plus nudity that includes Stripes. · "there is a run, basically, that starts with Animal House and goes all the way."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:34:48 · Bill Simmons (0.50)] Animal House ⇒ Old School (the host's read) · lineage · Animal House started the habit of a winnable conflict set-piece that comedies copied for ten years, and Old School revived it. · "I think Animal House started it and then the next 10 years of comedy is ripped off"
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:42:01 · Bill Simmons (0.40)] Old School ↔ Old School 2 (unmade sequel script) · lineage · A 2006 sequel script about spring break was turned down by Ferrell and Vaughn as repetitive. · "It felt like it was repeating."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:43:10 · Sean Fennessey (0.40)] Wayne's World 2 ↔ Old School · lineage · Asked which comedy sequel they'd want, Old School 2 beats Wedding Crashers 2; Wayne's World 2 is the great comedy sequel. · "I think is a genius movie."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Old School’ · 0:04:50 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] Old School ↔ Wedding Crashers · theme · Old School starts the R-rated comedy boom that runs through Wedding Crashers, Superbad, Step Brothers, and The Hangover. · "This sets off an era from 03 all the way through, and the R-rated comedy boom"
[speaker] Sean Fennessey · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Resident Evil’ Absolutely Rips! · Loves gory, funny, fast genre movies with craft and confidence, especially 87-minute films that never overstay. Can't stand ponderous elevated horror that fills out its runtime with introspection and sad family history. A sucker for the Carpenter-era lineage, Die Hard homages, and directors who break studio dogma. · stances: Resident Evil is one of the best films of the year; Horror movies have become a drag; fun genre experiences are needed; Short running times are a virtue; Video-game films work best when great filmmakers get creative license
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with Frat House (1998); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Frat House (1998) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
