After a string of serious episodes, we’re taking a movie break with something light… kind of. The House of Yes is a 1997 pitch-black Sundance comedy-turned-cult classic starring a who’s who of late-90s stars including Parker Posey, Freddie Prinze Jr, Tori Spelling, and Rachel Leigh Cook. We get into the movie’s iconic poster featuring Parker Posey in Jackie O’s pink Chanel suit, Tori Spelling’s acting chops, the role of the Kennedy assassination in pop culture, and why Entertainment Weekly called the film “a knowingly overripe… kitsch melodrama that dares to make incest sexy.”
