Join us as we flashback 40 years to arguably the greatest werewolf movie ever made, An American Werewolf in London. David and his pal Jack did not heed the warning given on the Moors and one was left viciously mauled and the other transformed into a hound of hell. Along the way we find great humor, fast love, and the ever-looming threat of David’s new animalistic urges. London will never be the same.
We were lucky enough to have Riley, friend of the pod and lycanthropic expert as well as director David Weiner, who not only directed the fantastic In Search of Darkness Parts I & II documentaries, but also brought the cast of this werewolf classic on its 35th Anniversary. Give a listen as we discuss why there is so much more to this movie beyond the greatest werewolf transformation scene ever put on the big screen.

Join us as we go back 40 years to a movie that looked ahead 18 years, to a time that is now 24 years ago, as we look at the John Carpenter cult classic – Escape from NY. \
The year is 1997, and the president of a tyrannical United States has had his plane hijacked and crashed into the maximum security prison formerly known as New York City. The security of the world depends on saving the president and ensuring the new world order stays intact. The government known for good decision making, decides to extort a former Special Forces veteran and world renown criminal Snake Plissken to save the president. Snake has 24 hours to accomplish this feat or die. Snake manages to avoid sewer dwelling scavengers and barbarian clad crooks on his journey through NY. Finally with the help of some old frenemies, he battles it out against a pimped-out version of Chef from South Park to save the President of the United States. Will Snake make it out alive? Does he trust his government to keep their word? Who’s the baddest man around? The names Plissken…
