House Party

Wow.

Speaking of TV, while we're on the TV movie side, House Party.

Your cameo in House Party as the DJ.

How was that like working with Kid N Play?

I've been meaning to send this email for a while.

Basically, Criterion came out with House Party from 1990 earlier this year.

And apparently they included Reginald Hudlin's senior thesis film of the same name on the collection.

I showed him the original House Party, which is like an all-time favorite of mine.

Kid and Play.

Or are we going to go off the cliff and we're going to see more people meet their demise in the ring in real time where we're all watching? Like I'm not really interested in watching the condemned in real life.

They make a movie.

I don't need to live there.

... love House Party.

We sure do.

And we're gonna actually maybe, you know, bring that up again later tonight.

But-

No

... um, that is, that is what I was trying to compare it to in my head, thinking I'm gonna go into this really positive and think, "Well, I hope it's as funny as House Party." Um, and I just had been missing out, and I'll add a new one to my list.

Yeah, you don't have, you know, the great dance sequences-

He did the artwork for this.

The script was written by a filmmaker, Reginald Hudlin, who did films like House Party.

he did the screen adaptation, I mean the adaptation for the graphic novel, and then we're supposed to have possibly, he said he would do it, an introduction prefaced by Henry Louis Gates.

That should be out a year from next month.
