EP.38: Wolfen(1981)

Celluloid Fever Dreams

Taking a look at the not-a-werewolf film Wolfen this week. Following the death of a prominent real estate developer and his wife a New York City cop and a criminal psychiatrist discover a pack of wolves preying on the city. With near human levels of intelligence, and senses far sharper than ours, what chance do our heroes stand against these pack hunters?

Join host Wyndham Jennings as he talks about the film, the book it's based on, the dystopian landscape of 70s New York City, and more. Does the film's ecological sentiment's still hold up? Are the wolves an effective monster? Did anyone really think that ending through before they shot it? How is there a 4 hour cut of this film?

So join Wyndham on another dive into cinema history as he makes the case for why this film deserves a second chance, or not, before answering "The Most Important Question Of All!" Was it entertaining?
