Season 1

American Werewolf in London (1981) and Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) are two iconic films that have some surprising threads of connective tissue between them and other classic movies. Paul and Steve show their film fanboy sides as they dissect these classics, play six degrees of separation between the films, reveal lesser-known easter eggs, and play with actual props from the film. Grab a beer, sit back, and nerd out!
