·1 hr 8 min·5 clips

Sean reveals why American Werewolf in Paris gets the main episode while Teen Wolf goes 'off the rails' on Patreon.

The episode begins with Sean explaining the delayed release and structure: American Werewolf in Paris is the main free episode, while Teen Wolf will be on Patreon. He mentions an upcoming panel at Central Connecticut State University on April 21st about podcast marketing. The hosts then dive into American Werewolf in Paris, released in 1997. Sean recalls being excited by its trailer and Bush soundtrack in middle school. Joe dislikes the film, but Sean argues it has 'good bones' and appreciates its campy humor. They describe the plot: American teens bungee jumping at the Eiffel Tower, a suicide attempt, and a romance with Seraphine. Key scenes discussed include a character using a condom as bubble gum, period-sniffing werewolves, and ghost appearances. The hosts note the film's poor CGI and tonal shifts. They touch on werewolf lore, questioning if werewolves need to eat humans, and segue into real-life cannibalism cases. The conversation becomes personal with anecdotes about grief and mental health. They critique the film's ending with a bungee jump wedding and Smash Mouth song. The episode concludes with plans for future werewolf movies, debating Wolfman, Twilight, and Wolfman Goes to Washington. Throughout, the hosts blend movie analysis with comedic banter and personal tangents.
