You do everything together and party together. And what could have been a very nerdy and niche thing I loved suddenly became a cultural phenomenon and everyone I told I did a cappella thought it was super cool. “You do a cappella? Like Pitch Perfect?? Do you do sing offs too?” I guarantee if that movie didn’t come out, no one would have thought I was cool for doing a cappella. 🤣

About the free college thing: many schools in the US will let immediate family members of full-time faculty attend the school tuition-free. They usually still have to pay for everything else tho. I think that’s what they’re implying here.
@Evergreen22195 ай бұрын
To clarify, that’s almost always for private universities, which are usually much smaller and there are fewer of them. They also usually have to be R1 universities which means there’s a very high level of research activity happening and they’re very well regarded. There’s like 40 of those in the US. And I don’t think it’s very many of them that offer 100% free tuition.

Hilariously enough, I work at a university, in the medical hospital, so that my child can go to college for free. After I've been there a year, their school will be completely free.

This movie urged me to join an Acapella group a year ago and it literally led to me meeting more people on campus and finally feeling like I had a friend group❤ I love this movie and it still makes me smile so much after watching it as an adult

The soundtracks for all 3 Pitch Perfect movies totally shred but there's just something special about that first movie's showstopping cups song trickling down into school's worldwide for the soul purpose of annoying teachers. Also, we all know DSM should have won in the 2nd movie + the hard shift into the action genre in the 3rd movie was the saving grace of that film.

I saw pitch perfect before it came out because they did screen tests at colleges across the US, and people were dying laughing, so loud that we couldn’t hear a thing Lily was saying so quietly. Cue watching the movie a second time and dying laughing all over again

I was absolutely obsessed with this movie in high school. We had it on DVD and when I was home sick from school with a flu or something I watched it like 6x, directors commentery, audio editors commentary, the whole thing. What a weird time

I distinctly remember watching this movie twice in theaters with my sister; the second time we were literally the only people in the room because it was one of the last showings at the end of its run, and we just belted along to every song. It was so much fun

one of my favourite high school moments was when we used to do house christmas carols and in 2019 the house captain was like "oh hey guys were gonna start with the cup song", someone demonstrated, captain went "okay got it?" and like 5 minutes later all the teachers jaws DROPPED when we just instantly did it in sync they had no clue what the hell was going on

The way 9yr old me legitimately watched this movie twice a day for a full ass month in a state of intense hyperfixation and then repressed it all to the back of my mind immediately after (apart from the cup song which was the only way I could get positive interactions from people at school). This video has been a reawakening. Thank you Michael Microphone.
