About this episode
Try not to wolf out because we're talking about John Landis' classic, An American Werewolf in London (1981). Backpacking along with us is Xero Gravity, who went on a werewolf binge and has recommendations! Up for discussion: Alex's underdeveloped character, urban set pieces, dirty movie theaters, and British rural horror. Plus: a queer reading of David and Jack's relationship, Jewish horror, an unsexy sex scene, and extended tangents about werewolf anatomy.
