I'm I'm Salutation.

Welcome to Pod Mortem.

I'm Travis Hunter,

joined as always by my co-host,

my sister, and my brother-in-law.

Hi, I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez.

This week, we're

broadcasting live from The Slaughtered Lamb discussing the 1981 horror comedy classic, an American

werewolf in London. This film was written and directed by John Landis and stars David Notton as

David, Ginny Agator as Alex, Griffin Dunn as Jack, and John Woodvine as Dr. Hirsch.

This film is considered a cult classic, especially for its melding of genres and its makeup effects done by the legendary Rick Baker.

Baker would go on to win an Academy Award for Best Makeup in 1982. It was actually the first year of the category's existence.

This film was suggested to us by friends of

the show, Amy Mulder and Tessa Atkins. You can find them on Instagram at Sick Girl 1980 and

at Tessa underscore surreal. They've both been incredibly supportive of the show and we really, truly

appreciate it. So, an American Werewolf in London,

what were your first impressions on the film?

When I first seen it, it was a long time ago.

I was a kid, and I remember bits and pieces of it,

but watching it now, I know that I didn't remember shit.

Like in a good way or like... No, like, no, it was like... I do remember it, but then watching it again, it was like, I don't remember any of this. It was like... I mean, like I said, there was little, you know, parts that I was like, okay, I remember this now. But for a majority of it, I'll say probably about 85% of it, I did not remember. So it was almost like a new movie. Right. No, yeah. It was literally a new movie for me, because I had never seen it before today. Yeah, neither have I. I think there's a good chance that maybe the setting of the end of the film might have been a reason why we never saw it as kids, but we'll definitely get into that a little later.
