    Happy Halloween, everyone! It's finally here: Day 13 of 2023's 13 Days of Hallowtober event! Our topic this year has been werewolf films and as such we present a round table discussion of “The Wolf Man” (1941) and its remake, “The Wolfman” (2010). The original is a classic starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Claude Rains. The remake stars Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. Does it hold a candle to its predecessor? Not likely, but it does have its merits and we take a deep dive into both movies and their place in werewolf film history! This is presented as both a video and audio podcast, and both links are on the web page. We showed movie ads in the video, and those will be posted on the web link also. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year's event including stalwarts Spency and My-Kill, as well as Bill Van Ryn, Rod Barnett, Juan Ortiz, and the Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander!!

    Hey Folks, I just wanted to warn you in advance that this episode of Then Is Now's 13 Days of Hallowtober, 2022 is perhaps one of the most controversial and polarizing ones we've had, so brace yourselves. Not since Episode 11 in which my guest co-hosts had strong opinions about the film “The Shining” – that went against what many horror fans think – have we had an episode that might seriously divide people. My guests on this show are Scott SA Bradley and My-Kill, and we tackle the awesome vampire flick, “John Carpenter's Vampires,” from 1998 starring the always cool James Woods. However, 2 things happened: Scott brought to the table some extreme and controversial opinions about the film, and I was blindsided, so I wasn't prepared to truly discuss any of his points. As you'll hear, it's mostly him giving his opinion of the movie's supposed subtext. Scott Bradley's opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect that of Then Is Now Podcast. And second, My-Kill was unfamiliar with the movie and watched one of the sequels by accident! He did sit with us, though and listened to what Scott had to say. After we recorded, My-Kill went and watched the film himself, and had several counterpoints to Scott's opinions. He came back and we recorded his take on the movie, and that will play after our discussion with Scott. My-Kill's opinions are also his own and do not necessarily reflect that of Then Is Now Podcast. So sit back and prepare yourself for some strong opinions!
