About "Everybody Wants Some!!"
In Texas in the fall of 1980, college freshman Jake Bradford (Jenner), an all-state pitcher in high school, moves into an off-campus house with other members of the college baseball team including Finn (Powell), Glen (Hoechlin), Dale (Johnson), Kenny (Guzman), Beuter Brittain), and Charlie (Russell). A somewhat “spiritual sequel” to "Dazed and Confused," "Everybody Wants Some!!" has a similar hangout feel as the team moves in and parties over the last weekend before the semester starts. Misadventure and laughs ensue as the team gets to know each other. Jake also ventures out exploring campus culture including punk and theater parties where he meets Beverly (Deutch) a performing arts student at the college.
