In the first episode of the Teen Wolf critical series, Connor discusses the tradition of werewolf literature and then reads the first season of MTV's Teen Wolf through the lens of queer theory. And, yes, he is aware that he mispronounces the word "lycanthropy" throughout.

Connor's back to discuss one of his favorite thinkers and the Netflix show made about him. How are Freud's psychoanalytic theories used in the fantasy crime drama based on his late 20s? Why is there so much hypnotism? What is a Taltos? Can it all be blamed on cocaine?
