Where Are They Now?: A Delta Alumni Update (2003 Video)

Where Are They Now? A Delta Alumni Update is a funny enough mockumentary of the characters of Animal House

[9/10 · 1 July 2010]

Just watched this extra on the HD DVD of Animal House. In this short, director John Landis interviews the people of his "documentary" of Faber College students and staff and some others associated with them like the former wife of Dean Wormer (Verna Bloom) who is now a regular barfly in Chicago, Ill. (My birthtown as well as Landis') About Vernon Wormer himself (John Vernon), he seems to have ended up in a retirement home and has amnesia...then Landis mentions Delta and he suddenly blows up mentioning Blutarsky, Stratton, etc! As revealed in the texts at the end of Animal House, Babs (Martha Smith) is indeed a Universal Studios tour guide as we see her mention various tables used in many classic movies and thanks to President Reagan, they'll never be used to serve food again! We find Boon (Peter Riegert) is now a production staffer who is once again married to Katy (Karen Allen) after having been divorced from her several times and they now have a kid. There are others but I'll just stop there and just say I found the whole thing pretty hilarious especially when we hear the voice of Chip (Kevin Bacon) when he mentions visiting Africa and they show a still from The Air Up There! And how about what happened to Mandy and Bluto after that last scene in the movie? Or Otter (Tim Matheson) himself? Okay, so besides the late John Belushi, Mary Louise Weller and Tom Hulce also didn't participate not to mention the latter's character (Pinto) isn't even talked about. Still, enough of the surviving cast made it in this short that I'd recommend Where Are They Now? A Delta Alumni Update to anyone curious about the way these now-legendary players of a now-classic comedy have fared all these years later. P.S. I wish Katy had talked about whether she did anything useful during all those times after college during and in-between her marriages to Boon...
