About this listen

 Warm apple pie, Stifler’s Mom, and that one time at band camp. For a generation, American Pie was the hilarious, must-see teen comedy—a rite of passage. But does this 90s classic hold up in 2024, or does it feel more like a festival of cringe?

This week, we're putting our nostalgia on trial. We rewatched the movie that defined a million sleepovers to ask the uncomfortable question: Is American Pie a harmless romp about awkward teens, or is it a deeply problematic showcase of toxic masculinity and consent issues?

We debate:
The Jokes: Are they still funny, or do they make you wince? We break down the most iconic (and most questionable) scenes.
Stifler's Legacy: Was he a lovable idiot, or the blueprint for a generation of toxic bros?
The Hidden Camera Glitch: We have to talk about that webcam scene. Was it a joke, or something much worse?

Grab your slice of pie and get ready for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and horrifying. Can we still love the movies we grew up with when they get this problematic?
