Pod Stallions 122: Werewolves Part 1

[@NoordinaryTeacher]

Frightenstein was my gateway to everything horror. Much love to Billy Van and Vincent Price. Thank you for doing these great episodes. I love them and always wait in anticipation for the next one.

Good evening ✌🏼

Thank you for your work.

Wolfmans got nards!

Great podcast! Watched at work at a comic shop, right across from the Mego Teen Wolf

[@heathdauberman8481]

They are struggling to recall Silver Bullet but it is inaccessible from their collective 80’s werewolf memory banks. I feel their frustration.

[@TheNightBadger]

Yes! With this we inch one step closer to the inevitable, long-requested and sure to be _best Pod Stallions ever..._ 'The Christmas Battle of the Network Stars' episode! Funko made some Teen Wolf action figures - good times! One unmentioned movie which I always liked was 'Silver Bullet'. Not a sad wolf in that one!

[@chrishight6598]

Fantastic episode!!! I will watch the "Wolf of Snow Hollow" this weekend. The Benicio del Toro "WolfMan" is pretty good. Just rewatched it.

[@travishiltz4750]

So, based on your recommendation I tracked down 'Assignment: Terror' and it did not disappoint. Insane, weirdly dubbed and edited and brilliant!

[@BrickMantooth]

It's got it all!

My favorite werewolf is from a 90s computer game during the full motion video era of point and click adventure games: Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within.

[@DavidRoberts-mk3zm]

Great conversation! The most important thing about Godzilla minus one is that it was created on a budget of, I believe around $13m. If this wakes studios up to the fact that they don’t need to spend 100s of millions on movies then we might get back to them releasing more movies and taking more risks with interesting concepts etc

We used to watch Wolfen over & over on HBO back in the 80s. When you mentioned Cat People (love it), it reminded me of Sleepwalkers (1992 Stephen King, didn't love it).

[@Ewok009]

Wolfen was/is Awesome!

[@heathdauberman8481]

@@Ewok009Yes it is! All listening should see it. My pitch: Big City cop and coroner vs Big City Skinwalkers of the Ghetto vs Urban gentrification. Heavy social themes mixed w monster maulings mystery. It’s definitely a werewolf movie but not a wolfman movie. The dude who wrote it has been a lifelong extraterrestrial contactee/ abductee. Christopher Walken portrayed him in bio pic dramatizing his true horrific encounters w the Greys. The man’s truth is way stranger than his fictions.

Great episode guys :) Going to watch LCJr's Wolfman right now!

[@dannycruz5446]

I also saw All the Right Moves in the theater with my parents lol.

[@travishiltz4750]

My first werewolf had to be stuff like Scooby-doo or Groovy Goolies and then Abbott and Costello meets Frankenstein. Later, I tracked down the Universal movies and loved them. Shame that Van Hellsing and Dark Universe crashed. Great ideas, but the execution stumbled big time.

I have a childhood memory that has stuck with since I was around 5-6yo in the late 1970’s and it’s one of my favorite ones of childhood of my Dad anyways I was playing with my Mego Wolfman along with my Dracula 🧛‍♀️ and I decided that Dracula would bite my Wolfman and turn him into a Wolf-Pire lol 😂 anyways my Dad comes in from work and I asked him if he would make me a ⚰️ coffin ⚰️ for my Wolfman and he said “The Wolfman does not sleep in a coffin ⚰️ “ then I proceeded to tell him how Dracula but him and now he is a Wolf-Pire Dad proceeded to grin but started to make me a coffin out of cardboard, tape, rope, and material and when he was done and made me the typical coffin you would see with rounded edges but I told him I wanted the old type coffin ⚰️ with straight edges like in the old films we watched and Dad started over and made me two one for Dracula and his new partner the Wolf-Pire lol 😂! I had awesome parents as a kid and sadly Dad passed in 2015 Mom is still here and we talk all the time about those wonderful 70’s & 80’s and how kids today are so much diffrent and most have no imaginations… I have a old Polaroid picture of Dad sitting on the floor Christmas morning of 1978 and surrounded by my toys including just about every Star Wars playset, ship and figure made at that time along with some oldie but goodies like Megos, Johnny West and not to forget a small army of Micronaughts 😉 and Dad is sitting there assembling all..

[@jmstater]

For my friends and I as kids, it was the mega-brief scene in 'The Big Red 1' where a woman pops out of a pond, topless, with a machine gun. Lee Marvin, Mark Hamill, World War II and bare boobs - our favorite HBO movie by far.

[@disteenguishedmonstoor]

👆Frightenstein is still one of my favorite horror genre shows!😁

[@goldenage]

Waxwork had a werewolf in it. Wolf with Jack Nichilson. There was also Silver Bullet, but imho American Werewolf is by far the best.

[@jonhufford6980]

I’ve tried very hard to like the monsterverse , but I don’t connect to cgi monsters, there’s a emptiness in their eyes that the old suits don’t have for me. I really liked minus one, the story might be the best of any Godzilla, but I prefer shin Godzilla actually. I thought that was fantastic. But my heart will always be with the goofy Showa era because that takes me back to childhood.

[@jimkuna8687]

Check out Michael Caines take on doctor Jackal the name of the film is .. Jekyll and Hyde it's a clasic

[@captlazer5509]

Oh great, now you'll have to bring Joe Louis cakes on your visits to America. On werewolves, Mego needs to make an American Werewolf In London or a Howling wolf.

[@YosimetySam]

Is Mego even still a company?Never see any in my area.

[@captlazer5509]

@@YosimetySam see them all the time at Walmart in the collectible area.

[@YosimetySam]

@@captlazer5509 I sure don't.Last Mego I bought,Creepshow Nathan, bought off Ebay.

[@BrickMantooth]

@@YosimetySam Mego is still a company, although I don't blame you for concluding that. The last wave didn't see major retailers, although I'm told the next wave will be there.
