This week on the podcast, Mike and Steven close out Physical Media Appreciation Month with a deep dive into John Landis’s horror classic An American Werewolf in London (1981). They're joined by horror aficionado and friend of the show, Andy Remondino, for a fun and detailed discussion on the film’s legacy and practical effects mastery.
Points of discussion:
- John Landis’s long journey to bring An American Werewolf in London to the screen
- Rick Baker’s groundbreaking werewolf transformation effects
- The film’s themes of alienation and its outsider allegory
- Why 1981 became the definitive "Year of the Werewolf" in horror cinema
- Plus cultural impact, and more!
