It's because a lot of people were born in the early to late nineties so there were a lot of YA books and then a few years later YA movies made for them.
oh shoot, I didn't realize that Anne Hathaway movie Mother Mary was a David Lowery joint, otherwise I would've tried to get to the cinema for it. Oh well, missed it

Is Animal House a good movie in 2026? I tried watching it for the first time about 20 years ago and outside of a chuckle here and there I was bored enough to turn it off about an hour in. I know it’s an institution but does it hold up? Should I watch it again or does it really suck now?
That era of comedy was revolutionary at the time but has aged poorly. The first few seasons of SNL were a huge hit but watching back now they are awful.
