Like original Pie screenwriter Adam Herz, the pair would mine their own adolescent adventures to create comedy in the form of the Harold and Kumar series, their big Hollywood breakthrough. So when Universal Pictures offered Hurtwitz and Schlossberg the keys to the franchise, they two saw this as a chance to create the Pie film they as fans would most want to see. And their first move was to bring the whole gang together. This is 2012’s AMERICAN REUNION. The class of ‘99 return to East Great Falls for a high school reunion and find that all of their lives have turned out quite differently than they imagined as teenagers. But some things never change, like friendship, love and uncontrollable sexual urges. Nick and Scott wrap up this series that no one asked for on another wild episode of FRANCHISOGRAPHY!

And after American Pie proved to be an even bigger hit than the first, the bachelor party was on. This is 2003’s AMERICAN WEDDING. But not everyone would be invited to the party. WEDDING would be without many key members of the beloved ensemble. Will things be the same without fan faves like Chris Klein, Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth and Natasha Lyonne?
