Summary
It’s another Myth Movie Night. Grab your moonshine, break out the passport, and start up your VHS player. We’re visiting London in the classic 80s horror film, An American Werewolf in London. DON’T GO OFF THE ROAD. We’re serious.
This week, Eric recommends Monstrum, a new show from PBS studios that looks at humans’ unique drive to create and shape monster mythology through oral storytelling, literature, and film. It digs deep into the history of those mythologies, and we think you’d love it!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits Podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Julia. Amanda's not here, but I am joined by. Eric. And this is episode 127 Myth Movie Night, an American Warwolf in London. I have not seen this movie, but the two of you did, and it sounded like a blast. |
| 0:23.2 | We did. It is a classic 80s film. It is as good as it gets when it comes to practical special |
| 0:30.0 | effects, and it has some really interesting takes on the werewolf myth, which we've talked about |
| 0:34.0 | werewolves in the past before, but I thought this is really interesting to see it kind of on the big screen. Yeah, I think anytime we can incorporate some pop culture |
| 0:42.7 | into the podcast and kind of differentiate from the standard week-to-week deep dive into something |
| 0:48.2 | old and look at it through a pop culture lens, that's a lot of fun. And it mixes it up nicely |
| 0:53.8 | for everyone. Yeah, I've been |
| 0:55.4 | really enjoying our myth movie nights. I plan on doing a bunch more in the future. Hopefully, |
| 0:59.8 | it is something that you all enjoyed. I know we got a lot of really positive feedback from our |
| 1:03.3 | Hercules episode. Hopefully, this continues to be fun and exciting for everyone. And you know what's |
| 1:08.2 | also really fun to look at, Julia? Is it the emails that come in |
| 1:13.5 | every time we get a new patron? It sure is. Tell me about those new patrons. Well, our new patrons this |
| 1:18.7 | week are Christy, Colleen, Veronica, Atticus, and AP. And they join the ranks of our fantastic |
| 1:25.7 | supporting producer-level patrons, |
| 1:27.7 | Philip, Julie, Eeyore, Mercedes, Samantha, Christopher, Kathy, Vinny, Danica, Marissa, Sammy, Josie, |
| 1:35.2 | Neal, Jessica, Philfresh, and Deppra. |
| 1:37.4 | And do you know who I would sit down and watch an 80s film with at any point, even if it was a bad 80s film? |
| 1:43.6 | Would that be those amazing |
| 1:46.0 | legend level patrons? It would be. It would be Haley, Sarah P, James, Jess Saratie, |
| 1:52.5 | Sandra Audra, Jack Marie, and Leam. So what were you and Amanda drinking while you watch this |
| 1:59.7 | lovely film? Well, see, I had a, while you watch this lovely film. |
| 2:03.7 | Well, see, I had a little red wine before we started recording. And then Amanda broke out the Tennessee Apple Moonshine. |
