    #052 - Howl-yweird: American Werewolf in Paris & Teen Wolf (Part 1)

    Sean and Lexi continue their werewolf-movie streak and focus on American Werewolf in Paris (1997), discussing how they expected a more direct, elegant follow-up to American Werewolf in London but instead got a teen-focused horror romp. They recap only the broad strokes: American teens in Paris, the Eiffel Tower bungee setup, Andy saving Serafin and getting pulled into a werewolf/ghost-filled mess involving wolf parties, murders, and a later science-y explanation for the curse. They call out the movie’s heavy use of ghosts, wild tonal swings, and notably bad CGI, then briefly jump to future plans: keeping the two-movie format, picking Wolfen next, and eventually doing the Twilight movies. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 02:06 Picking The Movies 03:47 Housekeeping And Theater Trips 07:13 Texting And Weekend Chaos 09:43 Werewolf In Paris Setup 12:12 Ghosts And Sequel Expectations 17:02 Eiffel Tower Bungee Intro 23:59 Hospital Shoe And Dark Jokes 31:47 Awkward Date And Condom Gag 35:12 Condom Smell Rant 36:30 Diner Chaos Setup 37:16 Wolf Party Massacre 37:36 Werewolves And Cannibal Talk 43:19 Back To The Plot 45:00 Period Scent Scene 46:28 Ghost Friend Appears 47:17 Graveyard Hookup Debate 51:24 Ghost Julie Bowen Bits 52:33 Serum Explanation Complaint 53:09 Fourth Of July Trap 54:57 Final Fight And Wedding 57:26 Twilight Detour 01:04:53 Next Week Picks

    Hollyweird #051 - Werewolf Double Feature: Wolf & Bad Moon (Part 1)

    Sean and Lexi dedicate the episode to Lexi’s late dog Rafa and start a werewolf-movie run, focusing their main discussion on Wolf (1994) after also recording coverage of Bad Moon for Patreon. They highlight Wolf’s key creatives and cast (including director Mike Nichols and stars Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader) and recap the central setup: Nicholson’s publishing executive is bitten after hitting a wolf, begins changing, and faces escalating personal and workplace turmoil involving Spader’s character and Nicholson’s wife. The conversation touches on major story turns, the werewolf transformation elements, and the film’s climax and ending. 00:00 Patreon Split Update 00:52 Vampire Movie Rant 03:17 Live Panel Announcement 04:20 Show Intro Banter 05:27 Rafiki Tribute 07:06 Why Werewolf Movies 09:51 Nineties Horror Talk 12:45 Wolf Discovery Story 20:37 Mike Nichols Deep Dive 26:55 Rafiki Casting Bit 29:59 Cast and Twin Towers Bit 32:09 Plot Setup Begins 35:37 Wolf Bite Incident 37:17 Office Betrayal Drama 41:50 Wolfman Awakens 42:32 Gallop to Stewarts 45:06 Affair Sparks Revenge 45:24 Meet Michelle Pfeiffer 47:59 PBJ Date and Milk 53:12 Amulet and Pagan Expert 55:50 Take Back the Company 57:52 Piss and Power Move 01:02:22 Hotel Handcuffs Hookup 01:06:03 Wife Murder Fallout 01:09:14 Spader Turns Werewolf 01:12:07 Barn Showdown Finale 01:14:50 She Wolf Ending 01:16:42 Why Wolf Rules 01:19:32 Patreon Plugs and Wrap
