In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on the new Wolf Man (2025) movie with very light spoilers for those that who've not yet seen it. We focus on topics of the writing, directing, and acting as well as the special effects, atmosphere, and setting of the film.

Following the review, we talk about the old Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) movie and do a Pitch Me session where we pitch each other on our own Werewolf movies. We finish the episode with our usual News and Physical Media Showcase segments.
