Melanie and Melvin summarize Teen Wolf from start to finish with hilarious commentary, goofin’ on the supremely weird premise yet laughing over the absurd, hairy comedy within! Plus, stick around to the end for a surprise regarding that rumor!

Topics: 

• (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 27-minutes discussing the aesthetics and appeal of 80s films. Plus, the celebration of exquisite practical effects prior to the embrace of digital effects in the 90s onward. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
• Teen Wolf’s opening is really strong, setting the groundwork for the drama and comedy that will ensue. 
• Boof is a queen among queens, but she is also very problematic. Especially if we swapped Boof and Scottie’s gender.
• The first time Scottie transforms publicly is one of the funniest laughs Melvin has had in a very long time.
• Scottie’s dad is a really great movie dad. Facts.
• Melvin exposes Melanie to a long-standing rumor regarding the finale of Teen Wolf, and spent some time rewinding his BD-copy of the film to confirm whether it was true.

Recommendations:

• The Dark Crystal (1982) (Movie)
• Creepshow (1982) (Movie)
