Summary

Sean and Lexi dedicate the episode to Lexi’s late dog Rafa and start a werewolf-movie run, focusing their main discussion on Wolf (1994) after also recording coverage of Bad Moon for Patreon. They highlight Wolf’s key creatives and cast (including director Mike Nichols and stars Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader) and recap the central setup: Nicholson’s publishing executive is bitten after hitting a wolf, begins changing, and faces escalating personal and workplace turmoil involving Spader’s character and Nicholson’s wife. The conversation touches on major story turns, the werewolf transformation elements, and the film’s climax and ending.
