Kind of it's an interesting space because 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.840 it's kind of your it's really your third tier monster. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.920 It's your third pick in the draft of monsters. You 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:43.520 go vampire probably, yeah, right, then you're gonna go zombie. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.440 Yeah, zombie slash Frankenstein. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:51.480 Slash Frankenstein, and then yeah, after you've put out a 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.120 bunch of vampire and zombie movies, you're gonna go to 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.640 the Wolfman. And in that sense it lives as a 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.560 kind of and what else monster. But there have been 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.360 some true classics, and we have to start with nineteen 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.560 forty one's Wolfman, directed by George Wagner, screenplay by Kurt Siautomack, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:16.679 featuring what is by now the iconic transformation scene of 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:18.640 mister laun Cheney. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.200 Joelle tell us about The Wolfman. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.080 So Rosie has been talking to me about universal monster 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.440 movies for a long time. She's like, you have to 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.480 get into them. This is one of the few I 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.639 haven't seen of the main character arts. I saw the 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.720 Franklinstein one long time. I soa always saw the Dracula 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.520 all good, So coming into this I wasn't quite sure 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.160 what to expect, and I actually this is not my 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.840 favorite of the universal Wolfman films, and we'll talk about 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.080 those a little bit later. But what I really enjoyed 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.560 about this movie is like it really establishes the father 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.280 son angle that I think is really essential to Wolfman movies. 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.160 Like Larry that Larry Talbot is your main character. He 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.440 comes back, he's like three times larger than his father. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.840 Because it's a Hammer film there about the same age. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.000 Hammer was like, we don't really care location. 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.480 Everyone has everyone's kind of accent. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.120 Listen, we said that's the dad, that's the dad. Just 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.560 lean into it. And so you get this like really great, Like, oh, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.600 here's a guy who hasn't been home for eighteen years 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.639 and he's trying to reassert himself as like a full 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.520 adult man and have this relationship with his father. And 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.760 I thought that was really beautiful. I also like that 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.440 this man has zero swagger, which is the thing I 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.839 don't think we see in Hollywood films anymore. He tries 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.520 to hit on this girl. She's like, yeah, I'm engaged 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.440 to thinking. He's like, oh, let me just like take 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.320 you out. I saw you got some cool earrings on 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.800 your nightstand. She's like, how you know? I was just 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:42.000 peeping on you with a telescope. It's totally fine. Zero 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.640 zero game. He's like you very much hear every man, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.480 And you're kind of annoyed with him until he gets 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.240 bit and then you you switch. You sort of start 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.480 to feel for him, like Oh no, that's just like 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.680 a regular dude trying to get through his life. And 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.720 I think this movie holds up pretty well. It's pretty good. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.040 What do you guys think about this one? 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.280 I think this is definitely a classic. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.200 I think it's gone one of the best wolf man 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:03.960 wear wolf designs. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.840 I think we all still see that as. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.440 Iconic, iconic were wolf. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.800 Long Cheney's always great at being a monster. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.200 I also think that something that me and Joel were 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.400 talking about about these Universal Monster movies is like they 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.960 laid the groundwork for a lot of what the MCU 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.720 is doing now, where you basically have a stable of actors, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.479 you have a stable of characters, but you can kind 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.159 of mix them up, like Claude Rains is in this movie, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:37.280 he played the Invisible Man. Best movie, he played Dracula. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.760 And he plays Layla. In this movie he plays He 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.760 plays a fortune teller named Bayla. I went back to 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.719 try to find the story to be like with coincidence, 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.040 this story was written in like eighteen thirty one. It's 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.880 a short story from like a middling writer, and no, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.760 no Bayla in that that I could find. Yeah, they 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:54.320 were just crazy. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.960 He's just so great. He's the famous, and so I 0:04:59.000 --> 0:04:59.440 love that. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.839 Also, as we will get into it a bit, they 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.560 would then start doing these kind of crossover movies where 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.440 they would bring all the characters together and it's very 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:13.120 original shared universe vibes, which I think are really interesting. Also, 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.239 we did solve a mystery while talking about this movie 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.200 before we were recording, which is I had always thought 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.839 as a little kid that the end of teen Wolf. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:23.880 Was that Michael J. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.719 Fox's character got killed by being bludgeoned to death by 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.640 like his dad's walking stick with a silver wolf head 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.240 on it. No, that's actually the end of wolf Man, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.680 which I must have seen or read about when I 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.480 was a little kid, and that was always really funny 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.640 because I always thought Teen Wolf was a lot gloria 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.120 and more brutal. And then when I watched Tea Wolf too, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.320 I was like, wait, he's still alive. How did this happen? 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.120 So yeah, I think this is a great classic. I 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.560 also will just say, guys, Universal Monsters, there's a full 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.200 Universal Wants this channel that you can just watch on 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.359 Roku or Pluto and they just play these movies like NonStop. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.120 It has been a true education. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.440 Ender to me, really really fun there they're wonderful movies. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.920 You mentioned it up. Next, let's talk about a more 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.240 modern classic, teen Wolf nineteen eighty five. Teen Wolf direct 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:14.960 by Rod Daniel, screenlay by Jeff Lobe and matthe Slobe. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.040 What are you doing? 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:17.360 Yes? 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:18.200 Yes? 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:25.240 Uh, the debut film for TV's Michael J. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:25.800 Fox. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:31.599 Wow and a wonderful teen werewolf movie, in which Michael J. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.520 Fox plays Scott, who, in. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.200 What is a trench at puberty metaphor, goes through a 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.880 change one night, wakes up, looks in the mirror, discovers 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.200 that he's a werewolf. Here's a knock on his door, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.640 and opens his door to find his dad, also werewolf. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.279 He is from a family of werewolves. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.599 Guys. I feel like he I feel like he stat 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:52.839 should have told him not before. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:58.120 I'm not gonna He's very Yeah, they weren't sure, and 0:06:58.160 --> 0:06:59.920 he was saying so he wanted to see how it 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.800 played out. But to be fair, he was right there 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.600 at once the moon had risen high in the sky 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.039 and the transurrasion taking place. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:08.400 He was right there. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.240 Johnny on the spot to talk to him about the 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.160 changes that poor Scott is undergoing. Scott tries to keep 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.960 this hidden from people. But of course transformation happens in 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.440 a very public way at at a high school basketball 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.400 game that he then goes on to dominate and he 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.880 becomes like the star basketball player in the one of 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:25.840 the best scenes. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.720 In cinematic history, that long walk downwards to then a 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.640 slam dunk. Fabulous, guys. 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.800 I have to say the fact that Jeff lo broke 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.360 this makes a lot of sense because this does follow 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.920 one of the classic racist tropes in movies, which is 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.160 if somebody is turning into a monster or slash evil, 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.720 then they get good at stuff that white people think 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:52.080 black people are good at. So like he gets good 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.080 at basketball, he gets good at dancing. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.800 Wait a minute, because I thought him going for the 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.760 white blonde girl was also felt che toned because she is. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.280 Like because think about this guy's Spider Man three. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.080 When he's got the black seat, Suddenly he becomes really 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.680 good at dancing. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.560 And he's really true and swap. It's like a. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.520 Really weird Hollywood trope. And Jeff Lobe, I know, I 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:17.880 feel like that makes sense. 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.520 Now, I know you wrote I think that you know, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.840 to be fair to Jeff and all of us, I 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.640 think he might have been so deep in the matrix 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.920 that he didn't see the ones in the zeros on. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.320 This particular trope. No, that's but you're one hundred percent 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.319 correct about about what this is. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.400 Where did we This is a movie I remember seeing 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.240 as a kid and seeing a like I've seen. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.640 This movie probably five hundred times. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:44.920 It's later taken on some easter egg like significance in 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:49.320 that famously a guy like has his nuts out in 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.120 the last scene of the movie. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.680 Yes, yes, what yeah, And oh you've not heard this, Joel, Yeah, 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:56.360 this is I. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.960 Was not aware Wolf Gurley growing up, and so actually 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.840 this is my first time watching ton of these movies, 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.520 including teen Wolf, which, like my initial thought was like, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.200 is this the funniest movie ever made? Made? It's so 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.240 when Dad opens the door, I was dying. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.520 I was like that, I thought, honestly, no, bullshit. One 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.200 of the great twists and reveals, like in a in 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.520 the genre rearly is because you are not expecting that. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.280 You think he's gonna open the door and be like, horres, 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.280 oh no, my son was going on there, and then 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.640 he's like, hey, guess what, guys, I'm aware Wolf also Hereditary, 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.440 which is very interesting because that definitely is something I 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.760 think that the new Wolfman like leans into is this 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.200 idea of like a hereditary were wolf type situation. So 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:47.240 I'm I did think that's an interesting trope that establishes. Also, Joel, 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.199 you pointed out one of the things I think is 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.720 the most important about this movie. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.200 How good are the jackets in this movie? 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.800 The incredible Letterman jacket. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.000 I was prepared to go shopping watching this film. Unbelievable. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.480 The style is really on point in this movie in 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:03.480 a great way. It's lovely. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.640 They really make you want to go out for a 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.120 varsity team. And funnily Funnily enough, I was watching the 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:18.840 Traders Program reality television program, allan International Legend, International legend, 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:25.400 human peacock, allen Coming, eating up every fucking scene. Wes 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.160 from the MTVS the challenge shows up in a Letterman 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:34.320 jacket and it sent me down a rabbit hole looking 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.200 up the history of Letterman jackets and wondering to myself, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:38.640 could I pull awful? 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.800 Could I could? 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.640 Yet? By the way Letterman jackets they started as Letterman 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.360 sweaters as a way to denote in the eighteen sixties 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.240 which Harvard baseball players were the best they got. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:58.560 The Letterman sweater anyway baseball. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.040 That's exactly exactly. We also say this film has some 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.560 of the best secondary characters, just very quickly, like that 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.840 the best friend who has a crush on the lead guy, 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.960 and then Styles is my favorite chaos agent maybe of 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.360 all times because Styles. What makes sounds so interesting is like, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.480 there's nothing that bothers this kid, and the only thing 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.440 you know about him is he has zero impulse control, 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.840 you know about Like he's just like he's a brother 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.080 that smokes. I guess that's it. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.160 I love that this guy is a wolf. He's like this, 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.920 we could do a lot of Yeah, this is like, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:33.760 this is great. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.040 This is like I just surfed on top of this 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.360 moving van like Styles, Oh my god. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:40.560 Please like suh. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.040 I definitely do think that this is very unique in 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.600 that it's not a horror comedy. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:46.760 It's just a comedy. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.360 Like it's just like what would happen if a guy 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.240 was a were wolf and everyone was cool with it? 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.360 Everybody and everybody is immediately cool with it. Yeah, everybody's like, 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.200 seems good. He's averaging thirty in the league. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.840 We might as well, yeah, school everybody. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.760 I feel like if that was a were wolf in 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.960 the NBA who is just like never missing like and 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.360 never missing A three. They'd be like, yeah, cool, I 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.160 guess guess. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.720 He's that Hi number three. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.320 I think my favorite werewolf film of all time an 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:27.880 American War Wolf in London, directed by the infamous John Landis, 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.360 I guess we should say, screenplay also by John Landis, 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.960 starring David Naughton Jenny I get a Griffin Dunn in 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:40.160 a wonderful role, both dead and alive. And I think 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.600 the thing to me that sets this movie apart head 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.280 and shoulders apart one is the hyper violence and the 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.720 incredible like yeah, the cinematography that puts you in the 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.640 in the pov of the wolf, and the incredible and 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.280 truly like troubling transformation scenes. But also this movie is hilarious, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.880 Like it's it's so funny, funny. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.640 Very very funny. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:10.680 The balance of scares and laughs has maybe never been 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.680 more well done than in this movie. I don't know 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.760 if there's any other horror comedy that can reach the 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.120 heights of how compleatly funny it is, but also the 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.079 kind of horror of the first time you see Griffin 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:26.800 done come back. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:32.200 And worn up, make up quick quick synopsis. David played 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:36.920 by David Naughton and Gryffin Done his buddy Jack are 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.400 like backpacking through what appears to be like whales or. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:41.200 Something like that. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.280 It's like the Midlands. It's like up north call it. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.840 So it's kind of you're in England, but you're in 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:53.560 like a rural area where everybody's like a farmer and 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.640 they don't want to see you. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.240 They don't want you to be there. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:01.160 The Celtic like culture here is very strong apparently, and 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.640 they wander into like a pub. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.440 Where the entire slaughter lamb. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.920 The slaughter lamb, entire town is like hold up in 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.000 this pub and it's like that classic thing of like 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.960 it goes silent when these guys walk in. They're not 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.160 feeling the vibes. They decide to like, you know what, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.840 let's leave here. It's it's weird here. Let's leave. Everybody's like, 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.120 don't do that, and they're like, yeah, we're gonna go. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.520 They're attacked by a werewolf that kills Jack. David is 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.320 merely wounded, and then of course his nightmare truly begins 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.360 because he begins transforming into werewolf at regular intervals and 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.920 also seeing visions of all the people who he has killed. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.040 They will come and like sit with him and his 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.600 friend Jack Griffin Dunn, in what are the funniest scenes 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.280 in the movie, just roasts him throughout. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:52.720 He's like, you saw your howf is gonna kill people? 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.640 Just fucking kill yourself? Like yeah, survive, like don't. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.440 Keep pushing through this, please, And you get some really 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.840 fantastic shots of like early eighties, late seventies London in 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.160 this this kind of it's. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.600 Really really cool. I love the slaughtered lamb is like 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.720 a legendary space. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.720 Now there are slaughtered lamp pubs out there inspired by 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:20.800 this really notable Rick Baker winning the inaugural Academy Award 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:26.400 for Best Makeup, no question, because this is like has 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.479 what I would say is the most iconic and terrifying 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.880 where we'll transformation set, Like. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.040 The slide us from like human to wolf is so 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.960 terrifying and like really really holds up. I think I 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.560 saw this really is very young and it's in a 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.040 long time. Yeah, it gives really creepy. But what I 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:53.280 had forgotten about this film is Jack's deterioration. Like every 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.920 time Jack pops back up, he's a little more rotted, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.320 a little more dead, to the point where the last 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.120 part I think they're using a puppet for him his 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.920 face because it's like mostly skeleton, like you're releasing teeth 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.560 and stuff, and it's so good and so creepy, and 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.360 you really I buy these guys, Like, I think this 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.120 is one of those rare films you could show children today, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.280 not tell them what time period it was, and while 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.600 they would recognize it as being older, they probably wouldn't 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.720 be able to pinpoint it. It's very timeless. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.680 Yeah, it's a really it is truly just a brilliant movie, 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.920 Like you just can't question it. So I'd say, if 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.000 you are listening to this and you are not immersed 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.080 in the werewolf genre and you like horror, because this 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.280 one is scary, Like I wouldn't put an Aaron through 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.640 watching this. No, yeah, this this one, I would really say, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:41.240 like start here because it's really the peak's remarkable. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:46.040 It's a remarkable film again by the infamous John Landis, 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.640 who caused the deaths of three people while directing The 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.560 Twilight Zone. R R. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.800 Okay, so those are really the kind of those are 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.800 our photlastics. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:01.359 So let's talk. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.119 Now about what are the ones that we love that 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.800 are not one of these three. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:25.680 We'll be right back after a quick break, and we're back. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:26.560 Let's just go. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.560 We have our list put together by Joel. Thank you 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.040 so much, Thank you, the list of cult classics and 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.160 foreign were wolf films and deep cut films. But maybe 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.359 let's just talk about the ones that we really like. Joel, 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.439 did we even start at you? What's what's a weird? 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.640 What's your favorite non podium werewoll film? 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.720 Okay, surprising probably everyone, including myself, I had never seen 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.920 Ginger Snaps. I don't know how you've been blast. I 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.200 can think of is that? Okay, nineteen ninety It comes 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.920 out in two thousand, so I turn eleven that year. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.280 But it's coming off of Columbine, and there is a 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:07.800 huge effort by the government to suppress violent films aimed 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:13.000 at teenagers specifically, which this absolutely is. So I think 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.800 I got caught up in that. And then I also 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.040 wasn't a werewolf girly, and so. 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.080 It's also film like I remember, like I'm I was 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.560 plugged into it for TV. I was plugged, you know. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.760 I love movies and horror movies. I didn't see this 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.159 or hear about it until maybe three or four or 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:29.920 five years later. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.560 It was definitely. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.000 A film that made it to England when I was 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.479 like fourteen or fifteen, so a couple of years after this, 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.960 and then I was like, you know, every girl I knew, 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.280 especially because I was like an emo, like go little kid, 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.240 sure were like obsessed with it. 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:48.520 You know. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.480 I was like, did someone watch my adolescence and make 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.400 a movie out of it? Like there's weird suicide packs, 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.680 there's like we're experimenting with weed for the first time 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.320 of like the outfits, Like everything about this movie felt 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.000 very much like it was designed for me at a 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.639 very like thirteen year old me. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.240 It was just a crazy question. 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.040 Okay, all right, So you have two sisters, Ginger and Bridget, 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.600 and they are inseparable. They make a pack to die together. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:22.000 By sixteen, Ginger is your stereotypical beautiful girl shell red 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.800 hair and blue eyes, but she loves her sister, Bridget, 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.200 who's like awkward and doesn't really want to be talking 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.200 to people. When Ginger starts to demonstrate, she also gets 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.919 fitten by a wolf, so she starts to turn into 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:34.879 a were wolf, and as she does, she has like 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.760 a sexual awakening. This is classic were wolf fodder.

They have this mother 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.600 who is iconic, this mother who's like very close to 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.439 being like I wanted to divorce your father. He's completely 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.800 useless and I hate him and I love my daughters, 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.639 but I want my youngest Bridget to really stand up 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.840 for herself, like you're a person too, don't always follow 0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:02.360 in Ginger shadow, And between the three of them they 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.239 start to try to like figure out like how to 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.080 help Ginger, who's suddenly like I love being a wolf, 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.560 I like eating people.
