An American Werewolf in London (1981) (with Joel Edmiston)

Season 39

Sunday, November 2, 2025 • Duration 01:28:46

We're back! So sorry for the delay, we missed last week due to Ben being stricken with shingles. A late October witch's pox no doubt. But now we're back with another spooky duology so just pretend it's still Halloween for a few more days.

Friend of the show, past and future guest, and comedian extraordinaire Joel Edmiston joins us to talk about one of, if not the best horror comedy ever AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON! We talk about John Landis (prison) we talk about Joel's hatred for Howie Mandel (also prison), and we wax nostalgic about our love for this classic film bro film.

We also talk about some new releases we've seen recently like FRANKENSTEIN (2025), ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, MATERIALISTS, THE SMASHING MACHINE, THE LONG WALK, PREDATORS and of course some other horror movies we've been watching this October such as THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, RAISING CANE, POLTERGEIST 2, MARTIN, WOMAN IN BLACK, ASYLUM, THE SIGNALMAN, GHOSTWATCH, and WOLF GUY. Ben also watched LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR for Diane Keaton, RIP!

We return next week with the much maligned sequel, just a hop across the pond or a drive in the chunnel to beautiful Paris. Does AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS have the same delicate balance of comedy and horror as its predecessor or does it suck ass? I'm sure you've already figured out the answer for yourself.
