This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema Rewind. We have a fun one here for you today. This one originally published 328, 2025. It is the 1965 Mexican female werewolf film Lolova, also known as the She-wolf.

I'm a big fan of this movie.

I really hope more people watch it.

And, you know, fingers crossed, it's my secret hope that out there somewhere in the world, there's a pristine copy of this, something that

can be restored, that we can get an even better quality version of this out in the world.

This was fitting because we're also going to get it back into a little more werewolf action

on this Friday's brand new episode of Weird House Cinema.

So without further ado, let's jump right in.

Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema. This is Rob Lamb. And this is Joe McCormick. This week, we are returning to the wild world of Mexican cinema. Six episodes ago, we watched a non-Lucha vampire film in the form of 1962's The Brainiac. And so it feels fitting that today's episode is a werewolf movie. And not just any werewolf movie.

It's widely considered the first Mexican werewolf film,

1965's La Loba or The She Wolf.

Really the first one in 1965, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So to give that a little context in comparison just to the wider cinematic tradition, 1913's The Werewolf, which is now presumed to be lost, you know, in one of the studio fires, the Werewolf from 1913 is considered to be the very first Werewolf film, period.

And interestingly enough, it too centers around a female werewolf.

So I've been wanting to cover some sort of female werewolf movie for a while here.

Most of your werewolf films, they tend to employ some sort of a male hyper-masculine werewolf.

We'll get into some of this in a bit.

And looking around, it's like some of the possibilities for like a female-centered

werewolf film.

I mean, there are some standouts.
