This week on Bad Dads Film Review, it is Wolf Week, which means we are heading to the moors, the Tube, the London Zoo wolf enclosure and one of cinema's all-time great transformation scenes for An American Werewolf in London.Sidey and Dan are joined by guest dad Jamie for John Landis's 1981 horror-comedy about two American backpackers, one very unwelcoming pub, and the worst possible way to discover that “stay on the road” was not just local colour.Sidey had somehow never watched the whole film before, despite having seen the famous transformation sequence many times. Jamie definitely saw it before, but at an age where he absolutely should not have. Dan brings the cult-classic affection, and the result is a review full of practical effects appreciation, Yorkshire pub suspicion, Jenny Agutter, decomposing best mates and moon-based needle drops.Along the way we discuss:Jamie's debut as a Bad Dad and the need for subtitles/phone voiceThe Slaughtered Lamb and Britain's least welcoming pintRick Mayall, Brian Glover, Frank Oz and other “what was he in?” faceswhy the film does not bother over-explaining the village, the cover-up or the logistics of getting David to LondonJack returning as an increasingly decomposed undead adviserthe nightmare sequences, including the Nazi werewolf home invasionJenny Agutter as Nurse Alex Price and the film's spectacularly fast romanceDavid being oddly honest about his visions, nightmares and wolf problemRick Baker's Oscar-winning makeup and the transformation scene that still holds upwhy practical effects age so much better than dodgy CGIDavid waking naked in London Zoo and trying to buy a small boy's balloonsthe doomed attempt to get arrested by abusing the police and the monarchythe porno-theatre support group of victims suggesting suicide methodsPiccadilly chaos, armed police, decapitation and catastrophic traffic managementthe moon-heavy soundtrack, from Blue Moon to Bad Moon Risingwhether the film is horror, comedy, romance, body horror, or all of them at onceThe dads come away with a very strong recommend. It is brisk, funny, gruesome, strangely sweet, brilliantly made and still properly entertaining. The werewolf may occasionally look like it is on a dolly, but the transformation remains magic, the comedy still lands, and the whole thing has exactly the right amount of nonsense.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

When Neil Peart died in early 2020, we figured we'd never be able to see Rush live again. And to a Rush fan like The Wolf who had seen them 12 times, met them backstage and had every album they ever released, it was a bummer. Not only would he never see one of his favorite bands again but he'd never be able to take The Wolfcub (whose seen KISS 3x, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Yes and many more of The Wolf's faves) to see the spectacle of Rush live, nor could he see them again with Action Jackson. Action and The Wolf camped out on the sidewalk to get tickets for the Roll The Bones tour and wanted to be able to do a live show review on their podcast which launched in 2019. So when out of the blue, Geddy and Alex announced their first tour in over a decade, the boys knew this was their chance to right all the wrongs and make sure they didn't miss the opportunity to see their Canadian heroes again. And the fact that Anika Nilles was taking over the drums, someone The Wolf raved about on episode 90 on the boys Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp live review just made the announcement that much more exciting. Hear the boys as they gear up for the show at The United Center in Chicago on July 18. Hear them compare setlists from previous shows, each night of the 4 night stand, what they're most looking forward to and why the band means so much to them. As a heads up, when they recorded this before the show on July 18, Rush had performed fewer shows and we held onto the review of the concert for our 300th episode next week. For those who haven't seen Rush yet there are *SETLIST SPOILERS* but the boys have to know what to expect. It's a celebration of Rush, the band that brought The Wolf and Action Jackson together 35 years ago!

Most bands toil for years honing their sound, locking down their lineup, playing gigs around their hometown and then regionally before hitting it big. Though the predecessor to Boston, Mother's Milk, did play gigs in Massachusetts, the visionary on the sound that would become Boston's trademark was Tom Scholz. Tom was not your typical rock star in that he had a master's degree from MIT and was working as an engineer at Polaroid while strategizing on his musical career. He wanted to combine the melodies of the classical music he grew up on with the rock music of the 70s that he loved. He wanted crunching guitars against clear vocals and when he found Brad Delp, he had the voice that make his music soar. Instead of toiling after hours at a studio, Scholz acquired and engineered a 12 track recording unit and figured out how to the get the sound he wanted. When signed by CBS, they wanted to re-record the songs at a fancy studio but industry vet John Boylan basically ran interference with the suits so Scholz could perfect his songs and transfer the demos to the master tapes (and he got their name changed to Boston). The result sold 17 million copies in the US and was the biggest selling debut for a rock album until Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses. While some of the songs actually charted, all of them became classic rock radio staples. Anyone who grew up on rock radio heard More Than a Feeling, Smokin', Rock & Roll Band, Peace of Mind and Let Me Take You Home Tonight (the only track written by Brad Delp solo) hundreds of times. Foreplay/Longtime were split as different sides of the single but together offer a bit of progginess to the bands repertoire. Though Tom Scholz is educated, his lyrics are themes that most people can relate to - choosing your passion or going corporate, trying to find woman, fantasizing about your future, and taking risks that may or may not pay off. Those guitar hooks and strong vocals make for some AOR platinum. Say what you want about the band or their sound but this first album struck a chord all over America and still sounds big a bold to this day.

There's nothing better than hearing a new song that kicks ass! They don't promote rock n roll like they used to but when we heard Above The Noise from The Jetsetters - Britt Lightning (Vixen, Rock Band Camp) & Tommy London (SiriusXM) - we were immediately hooked. The track is straight ahead rock with sing-a-long choruses but more simply, it's fun. We're psyched to turn folks onto the track and were happy to speak with Britt & Tommy about Above The Noise and their band. Britt has visited us before on First Concert Memories #11 and you may know her from Vixen or leading Rock Band Camp with other legends. Tommy has played in different bands, has released a solo record and is on Ozzy's Boneyard, Hair Nation, Classic Rewind and The Bon Jovi Channel on SiriusXM. Though they've been together for years, chasing each other across the country, they finally got together to record something new and continue to write and record ahead of an eventual album release in 2027. They even made a fun new music video featuring an old-school MTV-style storyline with characters including Tommy as Rex Malone, Britt as Pepper Grinder, and special guests Jesse Hughes and Monty Pittman. Hear them talk about all the cool events they have coming up, Britt's new gear, Rock Band Camp and of course, more singles, videos and future live dates.

Send us Fan MailScott and Michelle continue their year-by-year exploration of Halloween Horror Nights with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 23, an event that fully embraced Hollywood horror franchises while still delivering memorable original concepts. This episode revisits every haunted house from the 2013 event, including fan favorites like An American Werewolf in London, Resident Evil: Escape from Raccoon City, The Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, After Life: Death's Vengeance, Havoc: Derailed, Psychoscareapy: Unleashed, and La Llorona: Cazadora de Niños. Scott and Michelle discuss which houses still hold up today and which helped define the modern HHN experience. The conversation also explores one of the event's biggest creative decisions: transforming nearly the entire park into The Walking Dead: The Undead Streets, making AMC's hit zombie series the dominant theme throughout the scare zones. They also revisit the return of Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute, and the continued evolution of the event's live entertainment. Was HHN 23 one of the best licensed events Universal has ever produced?

1981 was clearly the best year for werewolves in genre history. An American Werewolf In London, The Howling and Wolfen, it was truly 'the year of the wolf'. What was the best single year for ghost movies? Was there a 'year of the ghost?'

The Sixth Sense, Piranha, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Antropophagus, Lady Killer, and The Bat headline this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering August 3 through August 9. As summer horror reaches its hottest, strangest stretch, we're starting our early Halloween horror pregame with killer fish, emotional ghost stories, murderous housewives, hurricane-party paranoia, forbidden cult cinema, and Vincent Price lurking inside a classic old-dark-house mystery. Inside this episode: August 3, 1978 — Piranha releases in the United StatesJoe Dante turns the post-Jaws killer-animal boom into a fast, funny, and surprisingly vicious summer creature feature. Genetically altered military piranha escape into the water system, transforming lakes, rivers, vacation spots, and summer-camp swimming holes into potential feeding grounds. August 6, 1999 — The Sixth Sense releases in the United StatesM. Night Shyamalan changes the modern ghost story with the haunting tale of Cole Sear, a frightened child surrounded by dead people no one else can see. Beneath the famous twist is a deeply emotional horror movie about grief, loneliness, empathy, and the things both the living and the dead are desperate to say. August 3, 2016 — Lady Killer 2 #1 reaches comic shopsJoëlle Jones brings back Josie Schuller, a stylish midcentury homemaker, devoted mother, and highly efficient professional killer. The horror comic transforms domestic perfection into a bloodstained performance where violence is already inside the home, wearing gloves, preparing dinner, and cleaning up after itself. August 5, 2022 — Bodies Bodies Bodies releases theatrically in the United StatesA24 traps a group of wealthy, deeply dysfunctional friends inside a mansion during a hurricane. When a party game becomes a possible murder investigation, slasher tension collides with social-media anxiety, buried resentment, toxic friendships, accusations, and spectacularly bad decisions.Deep-Cut Spotlight — AntropophagusJoe D'Amato's notorious Italian cult-horror film sends unsuspecting visitors to a beautiful but eerily abandoned Greek island where paradise has become a sun-bleached trap. Also known as Anthropophagus and The Grim Reaper, the movie earned a reputation as one of those forbidden video-store horrors whispered about by genre fans because its most extreme moments supposedly had to be seen to be believed. It is grimy, excessive, mean-spirited, and inseparable from the dangerous mystique created by its alternate titles, shocking cover art, and cult-cinema notoriety. Horror Birthdays This Week: John Landis, M. Night Shyamalan, Vera Farmiga, and Tobin Bell enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to An American Werewolf in London, The Sixth Sense, The Conjuring, Bates Motel, Orphan, Saw, and some of modern horror's most recognizable filmmakers, paranormal investigators, and moralizing masterminds. Weekly Recommendation — The BatVincent Price enters an old-dark-house mystery filled with locked rooms, hidden money, suspicious residents, secret passageways, clawed gloves, and a masked killer known only as the Bat. Released in 1959, The Bat delivers classic black-and-white comfort horror with thunderstorms, creaking hallways, shadowy intruders, and the cozy feeling that someone could appear at the far end of the corridor at any moment. It is the perfect late-summer watch for horror fans already pregaming for Halloween and preparing for the arrival of spooky season.From Piranha and The Sixth Sense to Lady Killer, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Antropophagus, and The Bat, this week in horror history proves that terror can swim beneath summer water, stand silently in the corner of a child's room, hide behind domestic perfection, explode during a hurricane party, or wait inside a darkened house.The calendar may still say August, but the Halloween horror pregame starts now.

Everyone has their own personal favorite. The one place in town that had all the cool records. The place you didn't know existed until a friend took you there and you discover music beyond the mainstream. The place where you feel in the know ready to explore everything around you. That place is your local independent record shop. You got your first LP there or you found it in college and go comb the racks every other weekend. Louisville's Ear-X-Tacy was that for residents and passers-through - the place in the 80s and 90s where you could get the cool imports and the college chart heroes like R.E.M. and The Smiths. Not that you couldn't get mainstream or classic albums there, it was just a vibe that made it the cultural center for like-minded rock fans through various locations in the Louisville Highlands. Ear-X-Tacy was the brainchild of John Timmons, a college student who worked in record stores and decided he'd take his record collection and a $500 cash advance on his MasterCharge to chase his rock n roll dreams. He grew Ear-X-Tacy into the hip capital in town where you could search 10,000 square feet of rock, soul, punk, metal, alternative, local, popular and rare racks for hours. The Foo Fighters, Tenacious D and John Mayer would all perform there on their way to bigger gigs and several generations remember Ear-X-Tacy as a special place in their lives. Like so many other record stores, Ear-X-Tacy is gone. However, John keeps the legacy alive with his weekly radio show (cleverly titled Ear-X-Tacy) where he plays the songs that he loved and inspired him to build the store. John also talks about his many community ventures like The Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS), The Louisville Independent Business Alliance, The Association for Independent Music and Keep Louisville Weird. We share stories from the shop over the years, relive some of the biggest moments and thank John for all that he's done for music and for Louisville. If you have a John in your town, let him know what the old record shop meant to you and help keep them going!

by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL 60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM!

c'est un des films de lycanthropes les plus cultes de chez culte. Et cʹest promis, après, vous nʹaurez quʹune envie, hurler à la lune avec les protagonistes de cette histoire. Car le Loup-Garou de Londres, An American Werewolf, réalisé par John Landis en 1981, va faire basculer le mythe du loup-garou dans lʹunivers contemporain, en plein cœur de Londres. Un scénario simple, classique, mais avec un sous-texte interrogatif sur la part de monstruosité qui est en nous et surtout avec des effets spéciaux époustouflants pour lʹépoque. Les maquillages et les effets spéciaux sont dus à Rick Baker, ami de longue date du réalisateur, qui recevra lʹOscar du meilleur maquillage. Une première. A sa sortie, le film marque les esprits. Le film fait peur, mais faire rire à la fois. Tout le monde plébiscite les maquillages. Tout le monde adore le fait quʹil nʹy a pas de magie, de prophétie et que ça se passe ici et maintenant et pas dans les Carpates avec dʹautres monstres qui mangent des paysans. Le loup-garou de Londres, cʹest simplement lʹhistoire de deux pauvres touristes américains qui nʹont pas eu de chance, deux touristes qui font une mauvaise rencontre sur une lande anglaise. Après les Blues Brothers, John Landis sʹamuse à nous faire peur en exploitant les codes du genre, en le dépoussiérant, comme son comparse Joe Dante la même année, mais avec lʹhumour chevillée aux crocs de son loup. REFERENCES Paul Davis, Beware the Moon : The Story of An American Werewolf in London, Dead Mouse Productions Ltd, 2016 John Landis on American Werewolf, FilmSchoolarchive. Rick Baker on "An American Werewolf in London" An American Werewolf London 1981 Extras - Making of The creation Director John Landis, Oscar-winning makeup artist Rick Baker, producer George Folsey, Jr., and actor David Naughton explore the making of "An American Werewolf in London" at the Academy's screening on October 9, 2012 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, including a look at the werewolf and Rick Baker sculptures by Mike Hill, as part of the series "A Monstrous Centennial: Universal's Legacy of Horror."
As we've professed before on the program, The Wolf & Action Jackson are not the world's biggest Beatles fans. Don't get us wrong - we don't dislike The Beatles and we understand that all they did changed the world and the rock music we love. But they're not our go to, we're Stones fans at the end of the day. Whether you're a Beatlemaniac or not, rock fans owe an enormous debt to John, Paul, George and Ringo. By the summer of 1966, the lads had been around the world several times over, made millions and mingled with world leaders and culture mavens who defined their time on Earth. They finally took a well deserved three months off January - April 1966 to take a breath, see what was going on around the world and incorporate it all into their music. Revolver would be released August 5, 1966 but the lead non-album single from the same sessions, Paperback Writer (backed with Rain) let the world know that they were no longer just singing songs about love and heartache but were moving in new directions as yet unforeseen in the western world of popular music. Sitars and tablas offer up eastern textures to compliment George's ode to free love on Love You To while he sneers in an almost punk way at the Taxman. Paul gives us a classic happy Paul song in Good Day Sunshine but laments a love that's coming to an end with For No One. Stories about dropping acid and psychedelic themes permeate the album as well as Paul's first experience with marijuana on Got to Get You into My Life. Though still in their mid-20s, the boys show a maturity at their writing and arranging craft hard won over the last 4 years. Each of them were starting to branch out to find out who they were as individuals and not just four moptops. The real trick for us is trying to imagine what it was like 60 years ago before Revolver was released. After all, as we're in our fifties, we don't know a world without The Beatles. We sang Yellow Submarine as kids in the 70s having no knowledge of the impact from the guys singing it. Using different instruments and cutting edge recording techniques ushered in a more psychedelic sound that would define the mid-to-late 60s Beatles and that defined the bleeding edge of rock music.

It is impossible to have a horror podcast and not talk about ‘Friday the 13th' and ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street'. And most of our time has been spent wondering how there has not been a new entry in either of the fan favorite franchises for decades. We finally have a little bit of news on both of them. We also talk about the surprising success of Widow's Bay. If you take a 10,000 foot view of Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson, you will think you know exactly what it is about. And you would not be completely wrong. The documentary surprised us by being one of the most emotional and information watches we have ever had. If you grew up as a horror fan in the 1980s or early 90s, chances are you have seen Johnson's work. He invented Slimer, worked on ‘Species', created the arms for Doctor Octopus in ‘Spider-Man 2', and worked on the still outstanding special effects for ‘An American Werewolf in London'. And that is just the very tip of the iceberg. But along with being an incredible genius, he is also incredibly self-destructive. This makes Rubberhead one of the most frustrating watches of the year. His work is amazing, but he also knows what is shortcomings are and has no interest in fixing them. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Released on December 6, 1985, Spies Like Us is a Cold War buddy comedy directed by John Landis, the filmmaker behind Animal House, The Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London and Trading Places. Chevy Chase plays Emmett Fitz-Hume, a charming but lazy State Department employee who relies more on confidence and family connections than actual ability. Dan Aykroyd plays Austin Millbarge, an intelligent but overlooked Pentagon technician who dreams of becoming a field agent. After both men cheat during a government examination, they are unexpectedly promoted, rushed through a completely ridiculous training program and sent on a secret overseas mission. Fitz-Hume and Millbarge believe they've finally become real spies. What they don't know is that they are expendable decoys, selected to draw enemy attention away from a more capable team. The assignment sends them through Pakistan and into Soviet territory, where a mission they barely understand places a nuclear missile—and possibly the entire world—in their hands. It's part spy spoof, part buddy comedy and part satire of Cold War paranoia.

By 1986, REM were veterans of the college rock scene, had recorded in London and gotten songs into the charts. For their 4th album, Life's Rich Pageant, they took a step forward in stretching not only what they could do musically but voicing social, political and environmental concerns through their lyrics. We don't find it to be totally in your face (as opposed to say, U2) but more subliminal as their lyrics can sometimes be nebulous or at least not straight forward and not about rock cliches like hot rods and chicks (not that there's anything wrong with hot rods and chicks if you know what I'm saying out there boys - Ian Astbury, The Cult). They may sneak in stories about a polluted river in Cuyahoga or regret the rise and fall of a revolutionary in Central America (The Flowers of Guatemala) or even the effects of acid rain damaging our environment (Fall On Me). But they do it with upbeat riffs and guitar runs from Peter Buck with lead singer Michael Stipe delivering the message while bassist Mike Mills provides the counterpoint lyrics to not only tell the story but give REM their signature sound. The driving beat provided by Bill Berry make songs like I Believe an all out rocker you can jump around and shout along to. And they experiment with things like banjos on Swan Swan H and middle eastern sounds on Underneath The Bunker (not quite an instrumental). This album went gold and is the predecessor to Document which would be their first platinum record thanks to The One I Love & It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Superman, a cover by the 60's psychedelic band Clique, helped them get in the charts and draw some interest beyond college campuses and college radio. That interest would build to Document which would lead to a $40 million record contract from Warner Brothers and put them on a steeper trajectory to pop superstardom. REM fans are often divided between those who knew and loved them in 80s before they hit it big and those who came to know them thanks to the big record company, expensive videos and pop stylings. For me, the IRS records of the 80s will always be the real REM and Life's Rich Pageant is a great moment in time for them. They've learned the ropes, made some good records and are not complacent - they moved forward believing in themselves, each other and their convictions which would eventually bring them all the success in the world.

Eric Clapton had achieved pop success with The Yardbirds but that's not what he wanted. All Eric wanted to do was play the blues. So he left The Yardbirds to join John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers where through many miles and many gigs honed a guitar sound & style that would create a mythology around Clapton like no guitar player before. Their gigs must see happenings as once they were into a groove, the Bluesbreakers could improvise their way into something spectacular. John Mayall wanted to capture that live energy and creativity on an album but their first attempt (with bassist Jack Bruce who would figure into Clapton's story later) was not up to par. So they went to Decca Studios and worked to capture the best bits of their live set. Eric doesn't just take off, he does seem to build throughout the record just as he might during a live show. And John Mayall does take the spotlight as the lead singer, solid piano/organ man and a cool harmonica player. John McVie (who would eventually break from Mayall to form Fleetwood Mac with future drummer Mick Fleetwood) holds down the bass and Hughie Flint keeps it steady on the drums leaving room for Mayall and Clapton to do their thing. Though Mayall contributes some originals, they borrow from blues legends like Freddie King, Little Walter, Memphis Slim and Robert Johnson. On Johnson's Ramblin' on My Mind Clapton offers his first attempt at singing lead, something he was reluctant to do throughout his career but John nudged him. Clapton's playing was groundbreaking at the time and his reputation as a master of the guitar built rapidly. Graffiti popped up around London - Clapton is God. The Wolf & Action Jackson try their best to imagine what it must have been like to hear Eric play live at that time. Because they've never known a world with Eric Clapton and when they got to know him he was 40. Plus, they'd heard all the hot shots that had come after Clapton over the decades. We've always appreciated Clapton's tone and playing but trying to put our minds in a place where hearing anything like this was brand new was the challenge. It may not be as mind blowing as it was 60 years ago but it's still some rock solid blues by a guy at 20 years old who would define the blues (certainly for white folks) for the next half century.

If you haven't heard, the USA is turning 250!! The Great American Experiment has endured for one quarter of a millenium and though it might not be a perfect place, it's home to both The Wolf & Action Jackson. This podcast may have been birthed while The Wolf was in the UK but as many fans of The World Cup are learning, America is a special place. And though most of our rock idols hail from the UK (or elsewhere that isn't the US), American plays a great part in the legacy of rock n roll. So we've eachh chosen 10 songs about America. It could come from foreign bands like Hello America by Def Leppard who dream of making it big or New York City by The Cult after they lived there and fell in love with it. The Wolf also categorizes songs by theme like Big And Loud, Look in the Mirror, Just Have Some Fun Man, Happy Hippie America, Sweet and Soulful, Talking Truth to Power and more to the point that he offered up runners up in all 10 categories. And both the boys had honorable mentions as there are so many to choose from - for instance which is the better representation of the seedy underbelly of America: LA Woman by The Doors or Hotel California by The Eagles? We celebrate America's 250th the only way we know how - by talking about the rock n roll that we love and that helped make America the greatest country in the world!

On episode 350 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham to go back 45 years and take a look at the 54th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1981. The AW team goes back nearly fifty years to a year dominated by a group of young men running on the beach to the score of Vangelis, as Chariots of Fire took down Reds and Raiders of the Lost Ark to win Hollywood's top prize. In the same year, the four acting Oscars went to some of the eldest group of winners in Oscar history, performers who won late in their careers instead of for their best work. In this year at the theaters, genre reigned supreme and was discussed at length on this episode, with films like Escape from New York, The Road Warrior, Body Heat, An American Werewolf in London, Dragonslayer, Excalibur, Polyester were discussed alongside films like Arthur, The Great Muppet Caper, Thief, Blow Out, Mommie Dearest, Prince of the City as films to highlight from this bountiful year of cinema. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1981, briefly discuss talk about Chariots of Fire as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h22m. We will be back in next week for part one of our Best Supporting Actress Tier Ranking. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
We've been doing our podcast for almost 6 years and with that time & experience, one does find patterns or tricks of the trade that pop up regularly. As The Wolf & Action Jackson have reviewed about 200 albums on the show and listened to thousands more, the boys observed something when it comes to tracking albums. Bands rarely leave the worst song on the album for the last track; however, they often slot the worst song as the 2nd to Last track on the record. Which makes sense - you don't want the last song you hear to be the worst and sometimes bands will save the best for last. So we decided to apply our observation to a band that has a very strong catalog without too many duds. A band with enough albums to make up a record of their 2nd to Last songs but not so many that it would take us multiple episodes. Led Zeppelin fit the bill perfectly as the boys know the catalog back to front, there are only 8 albums (we don't include Coda but we give a track to each disc/LP of Physical Graffiti) to review and we can not only rank them against each other but rank the track's position on the album. I Can't Quit You Baby off LZ I isn't a bad track at all but the competition is stiff and it's the same for Going to California on LZ IV. Trampled Under Foot on disc 1 of Physical Graffiti is a great rocker and Moby Dick on LZ II is an instrumental but it would become a live staple to show off the talents of John Bonham. In at least one instance, we find that the 2nd to Last song may actually be the best whereas others could certainly qualify as near the bottom. While Zeppelin didn't feel pressure from the record company to track the albums a certain way, many other bands are at the will of the A&R rep on how their records are tracked. While Led Zeppelin didn't have many bad songs on their records, something has to be ranked last vs. all the other classics. So we rank all of Led Zeppelin's 2nd to Last tracks vs. the other tracks on the album and then vs. each other to determine the best and worst. Which would make your list? Led Zeppelin - I Can't Quit You Baby Led Zeppelin II - Moby Dick Led Zeppelin III - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Led Zeppelin IV - Going to California Houses of the Holy - No Quarter Physical Graffiti 1 - Trampled Under Foot Physical Graffiti 2 - Black Country Woman Presence - Hots On For Nowhere In Through the Out Door - All My Love Check out our new website: Ugly American Werewolf in London Website Visit our sponsor RareVinyl.com and use code UGLY to save 10% off one ENTIRE ORDER!

We are proud to welcome Rock PR veteran Sharon Chevin who has been in the music business for more than 4 decades. What began as a deep love for rock music became a sustaining career which has taken her around the world and helped her forge friendships with some of the biggest artists on the planet. These days, Sharon manages prog rock legends Yes (and she wants me to remind everyone that Aurora is out now) and Steve Hackett (she teases his new collaboration with Marillion's Steve Rothery) but has worked with and hung around some of the biggest stars of all time. Her stories are amazing and funny as she shares how Alice Cooper will work a 14 hour day as long as you give him a couple of hours to shop. Hear how she had to convince hotel staff in Germany that she needed corn flakes for Tom Petty and George Harrison at 1 AM. She talks going to see a new band at Hammersmith called U2 with Pete Townshend and Bruce Springsteen. Mostly, Sharon lets us know that most of the top talent are marvelous people who are great to work with. But not all of them are and she drops a couple of names onto the jerk list. But mostly we hear about how Chris Squire invited her to stay with his family after an earthquake or how John Lord would always drop by her local pub for a glass of wine when he was in town. She admits she fell in love with Billy Idol the moment she met him and how Bryan Adams talked her out of getting Bonnie Raitt's picture taken with Madonna. We're just glad Sharon is still doing PR for bands we love and that she's still sharing her stories of her rock n roll odyssey.

Duran Duran's eponymous debut not only established their sound with funky bass and new wave synths but coincided with the launch of new US cable station, MTV. With their danceable beats, the boys stylish brand of new wave was perfect fot the 80s and perfect for MTV. It introduced a whole new generation of American music fans into Anglophiles including your hosts The Wolf & Action Jackson. We, like all of the MTV Generation, were not only grooving to John Taylor's funky bass but were fascinated by their fashion, haircuts and models that always seemed to find them. In the UK, they got on the charts and even went Top 10 in Australia with Planet Earth in the spring of 1981. But it was MTV that launched them to superstardom in the US. Simon LeBon's vocals complemented the textures coming from Nick Rhodes synths and Andy Taylor's guitar but his presence in the videos gave them a wider audience. The videos shot in Antigua for the Rio album are MTV greats but the macabre Night Boat was also filmed there and is creepier than Anyone Out There or Careless Memories. The Girls On Film video was censored in parts of the US and a racier edition could be found on Showtime, much to the delight of two young suburbanites. To give the US market more material in 1983 ahead of the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album which would come out in the fall, the debut was rereleased with a slightly different order and the new single Is There Something I Should Know? It went to #1 in the UK and went into heavy rotation on MTV, helping to drive the album platinum. We recall the first time seeing them on MTV, review the entire 1983 US version (with plenty of time for all the songs surrounding the debut) and rediscover some old faves.

Cinderella came out of the gritty streets of Philadelphia by writing hookey riffs, shout along choruses and a fun, glammy stage show. Gene Simmons tried to get them signed but it was Jon Bon Jovi who would convince his label Mercury to get them a record contract. Led by lead singer/songwriter/lead guitarist Tom Keifer, Cinderella had hard riffs and a Sunset Strip performance style that made them perfect for MTV in the mid- to late-80s. Their debut album Night Songs landed in June of 1986 and laid the foundation for more platinum albums and MTV airplay. Keifer's raspy voice can lead big sing-a-long rockers like Shake Me or Somebody Save Me or can sing a lament like Nobody's Fool. His friend Eric Brittingham provides the steady bass and Jeff LaBar lays textures against Keifer's hard riffs and trades a few licks. On the record, drums were provided by veteran studio musician Jody Cortez, though Fred Coury was brought in just in time to make the album cover (don't get Jackson started) and joined the band. Yes, their lyrics are mostly banal and cliched sexual conquests but they were of a time and Cinderella may have done that sleazy 80s rock made famous by Motley Crue and Guns N Roses as well as anyone. Once grunge came, all that was glam or "hair metal" had to go but maybe Cinderella should have been given the opportunity to reinvent themselves like Def Leppard. We think they were unnecessary casualties of grunge and while Night Songs may not be skip-free, it's a solid hard rocking 80s album with some great riffs and fist pumping choruses.

By 1986, the Phil Collins machine was in full gear. After coming off big solo success with the diamond selling No Jacket Required and having played on both sides of the Atlantic for Live Aid, the public (and the record company) couldn't seem to get enough of the Genesis drummer turned lead singer. The band sought to capitalize on that momentum by sharing music writing credits (each of them wrote lyrics solo) and starting from scratch in the studio at The Farm. The result would be their greatest popular success including their first #1 in the US and 5 total Top 5 Billboard hits. But it being the mid-80s, the music wasn't always the only story. They had already had some turns on MTV in the previous 5 years (especially Collins solo work) but videos for their big hits were in regular rotation for over a year, including Land of Confusion which used caricatured masks and puppets from the British show Spitting Image. The unflattering rubber dopplegangers of the band followed the exploits of Ronald Reagan fighting the bad guys as Superman and was nominated for video of the year by MTV (former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer won instead). It allowed Genesis the opportunity to sell out arenas and stadiums in the US which anchored over 100 tour dates to support the album. But does this standout from Phil Collins solo material? While Collins penned tracks like Tonight, Tonight, Tonight and In Too Deep did have eerily similar hallmarks of Phil's solo stuff, Mike Rutherford's Throwing It All Away is right out of Phil's playbook. While the Tony Bank's written Domino shows they didn't completely abandon their prog rock roots, Anything She Does is a flacid attempt at 80s pop with a video that inexplicably featured Benny Hill. The musicianship is high quality as always but the technology of the day can sound dated and does anyone want to hear Phil play electric drums? Hugh Padgham had the magic touch in the 80s and with Phil but maybe that contributes to the songs sounding generic in some places. We like the album but do we hold it in as high regard as Selling England By The Pound? We try to figure that out...

Iron Maiden has earned their spot as one of the biggest touring acts of the new millenium through an unwavering work ethic and delivering quality in every way to their legion of dedicated fans. As they prepare to come to North and South American to wrap up their Run For Your Lives Tour, they released a career spanning documentary, Burning Ambition, for a limited theater run before the inevitable release on DVD/streaming. As the boys have reviewed most of Maiden's 80's output and a few live reviews on their favorite heavy metal band, you knew they were going to check this out and tell you what they thought. But Maiden have offered up many documentaries over the decades (12 Wasted Years, The Early Years Part 1, 2, 3 and Flight 666) so they were curious as to how this one would be different and how many new tidbits they'd be able to glean from this one-night doc. The movie spans their whole career starting in 1975 and talks about the vision and work ethic of one Steve Harris, the founder and leader of Maiden since its inception. Because of the huge amount of time to cover, the film didn't dive deep into the making of albums, chart success or tours but gave everyone a voice (off-screen) using footage from the 50 years of the band's career. The hardcore fans may not have learned too much but to hear the stories of famous fans like Brian Slagel (a guest of UAWIL), Javier Bardem and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine was a nice touch. Plus, they included past members, crew members and fans from around the world sharing their stories of why they are so loyal to Iron Maiden. For the most part, they highlighted how bringing new members into the band change the music for the better (and sometimes worse), how that affected their popularity and draw as a life act and how (and why) they're still going today. They hit the highest of highs in the 1980s but burned themselves out in the process. Thanks to grunge and significant lineup changes in the 90s, they went backwards a bit, especially in America where they sometimes found themselves playing to 500 people. But the reunification with Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith on Brave New World and beyond propelled them back to the top - a place they haven't left in 25 years. And of course, there's lots of Eddie in his many incarnations - perhaps the greatest marketing image in the history of heavy metal or even recorded music. While the hardcore fans may lament a lack of details or stories about the albums, it's a cool journey to see where they came from, how they rose to the top, fell down near the bottom and rose again to be the biggest (and in our opinion best) heavy metal band in the world.

Blue Oyster Cult translated their fan favorite live act into platinum with the 1975 live album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees. It not only gave the guys confidence going into recording Agents of Fortune but it gave each of them the funds to buy synthesizers that would allow all of them to write songs individually and bring more polished songs into the studio. The result was an eclectic mix of styles - hard rock riffs (This Ain't The Summer of Love), 50s piano laments (True Confessions), lilting confessionals (Debbie Denise) and an eternal hard rock anthem in (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Reaper would sell more than 6 million copies as a single and help propel Agents of Fortune to platinum. But it also gave them the financial leverage to upgrade their stage show as now they were headliners. Thanks to Reaper, their patented laser (which Buck admitted they should have leased and not bought) would make it's debut and receive warnings from the government about injuring fans eyes at concerts. It was a total gamechanger which allows them to continue to tour the world to this day. It was a song that made you wonder "If they can write that one, there must be more like it on the album, right?" But Reaper was the only song Buck Dharma (aka Donald Roeser) sang lead on and his only co-write. It's the only album in the catalog to feature all 5 original members a shot at lead vocals and all of them have writing credits. The different styles vary from hard rock to campy to spooky to corny and tackle varied subjects from death and eternal love to extra terrestrials and vampires. There's a lot to explore here thanks to the different styles and vocals which we appreciate so much more now than when we did as teens disappointed there wasn't another (Don't Fear) The Reaper. Agents of Fortune is still Blue Oyster Cult's top selling album to date, thanks largely to Reaper. But there's some wacky and cool stuff on this record that's worth diving into as the album celebrates its 50th.

In this episode of That Would Be Rad, we sink our teeth into one of the weirdest and most unsettling true stories we've ever covered: the Southend Werewolf.Picture this: a regular, easy-going guy from Essex named Bill Ramsey who spent almost forty years fighting something vicious that lived inside him. Out of nowhere he'd get hit with freezing cold chills, see a wolf staring back at him in the mirror, and then black out into these insane rages where he suddenly had crazy strength and acted like a straight-up animal. What began as a bizarre incident in his parents' garden when he was just nine years old spiraled into full-blown tabloid madness and eventually pulled in Ed and Lorraine Warren.Is it old-school folklore, straight-up demonic possession, a serious mental health thing, or some unholy mix of all three? This one really doesn't fit in any neat little box.What We Uncover in This Episode:Bill Ramsey's full story — starting with that insane 1952 garden episode as a kid where he ripped a fence post (concrete and all) out of the ground and chewed through wire with his teeth, all the way through the escalating nightmare of the 1980sThe notorious 1987 police station showdown in Southend where he fought a dozen cops on all fours, growling “The devil is in me…”A proper deep dive into werewolf history, from the Epic of Gilgamesh and King Lycaon all the way to medieval monster trials, the Beast of Gévaudan, and modern clinical lycanthropyHow the Warrens got pulled into the case, the intense 1989 exorcism with Bishop Robert McKenna, and the wild physical changes people swore they sawThe big debate: demonic animal spirit, psychological condition, hysterical strength, or something else entirelyWhat happened to Bill after the exorcism, his appearance on Sightings, and why this case still feels impossible to pin downWhy You NEED to Listen:If you're into episodes that feel like a proper paranormal thriller, this one's for you. Between my recent werewolf kick (thanks to Joe Abercrombie's The Devils, An American Werewolf in London, and Bad Moon), the edge-of-your-seat storytelling, and that lingering “what if this could actually happen to a normal person?” question - this might be one of our creepiest episodes yet.

By 1996, Def Leppard needed to try something different. Their 80s heyday had long since passed and the grunge/nu metal era made them unwanted icons of a forgotten age. They got a new wardrobe, split up to write their songs and even left the stylized Def Leppard logo off of their album Slang to tread new paths without longtime producer Mutt Lange. Some saw it as a reaction to grunge as it sounded nothing like Hysteria or Adrenalize which had preceded it - the high harmonies and big, hooky riffs were gone. But Def Leppard fans saw it as the boys stretching out after a decade with Mutt and expressing themselves as mature men dealing with life on their terms. Though The Wolf and Action didn't take to this album when it was released May 13, 1996, a teenaged Neil from Def Lep Pod was all about the Slang record. It came at the right time in his life and Neil knows Slang (as he does so many things Def Leppard) back to front and then some. He knows every demo version of every song and brings not only his generational point of view of the English fans story in contrast to that of Action and The Wolf. Vivian Campbell finally earned songwriting credits on a Def Leppard album and his solo write Work It Out was the 1st single released in the US. Gift of Flesh is as heavy as anything in their catalog and All I Want Is Everything is a huge favorite among the Def Lep faithful. They experiment with Indian instruments on Turn to Dust and achieved three #1 hit singles on the UK Rock/Heavy Metal chart. Though it's the first Def Leppard album to not achieve platinum status in 15+ years, it's an album with individual viewpoints that goes in many directions and offers fans something different than anything else in their catalog.

This week, Patreon supporter Matt Bates, the Black Country Vlogger, brings us Innocent Blood (1992) for our Pain and Pleasure theme -- a film that revels in the push and pull between the two. Innocent Blood (1992) came about in a roundabout way, which is fitting for a film that defies easy categorisation. John Landis had originally been developing a vampire project called Red Sleep -- a wild premise about Las Vegas being run by vampires -- before Warner Bros. passed and handed him a first-time script by Michael Wolk. The film had an entirely different trajectory before Landis came aboard -- Jack Sholder had been set to direct with Lara Flynn Boyle and Dennis Hopper in the leads before creative differences saw all three replaced. Landis cast French actress Anne Parillaud fresh off La Femme Nikita, and filmed primarily in Pittsburgh's Little Italy neighbourhood after a location visit changed his original plan to shoot in Philadelphia. The MPAA initially slapped it with an NC-17, forcing further cuts to secure an R rating. Landis described his vision as "a Hammer film directed by Scorsese." It opened in September 1992 to a modest domestic gross but has since built a devoted cult following among fans of horror-comedy and 90s vampire films.Find Matt here - https://www.youtube.com/c/blackcountryvloggerTRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn a world where the streets of Pittsburgh run red... one woman has a code. She is Marie. She is beautiful. She is deadly. And she only eats bad people.But one night she makes a mistake. She doesn't finish the job. And now the most dangerous mob boss in the city isn't just angry... he is immortal.Sal Macelli is back from the dead and building a vampire army from organised crime. Marie has no choice but to team up with one increasingly bewildered cop. Because you cannot arrest something that cannot die. And you cannot plea bargain with a monster in an Armani suit.FUN FACTS ABOUT INNOCENT BLOOD (1992)Despite revolving around vampires, the word "vampire" is never once spoken in the filmDario Argento, Sam Raimi, Frank Oz, Tom Savini, and Steve Johnson all have cameosScream Queen Linnea Quigley appears as a nurse alongside her then-husband Steve JohnsonLandis hid his recurring "See You Next Wednesday" joke on a marquee in the filmThe glowing vampire eyes used reflective contact lenses combined with a beam-splitter techniqueA POV flying shot was lifted directly from Dario Argento's Opera -- who also has a cameoChazz Palminteri appears in a supporting role -- a Godfather reunion crossed with The SopranosBy 1992, Landis hadn't directed horror since An American Werewolf in London -- an eleven year gapSUPPORT THE SHOWSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.

Stewart Copeland, drummer/composer/host extraordinaire and one time member of The Police, spoke with us on Ep 275 about his love for working with orchestras. And he praised the city of Louisville (where The Wolf finds himself after a 4 year European tour) for the quality of the city's orchestra. Because though his days in The Police may be over, his love for the music and performing has not waned. So when he told us he'd be bringing his Police - Deranged for Orchestra performance to The Ville, we knew we had to check it out and tell you what we thought. Asside from the more than 50 members of the Louisville Orchestra and longtime conductor Bob Bernhardt, Copeland brought along singers Amy Keys, Carmel Helene and Ashley Tamar, guitarist Rusty Anderson and bassist Armand Sabal-Lecco (with Stewart on the drums most of the time). While they played the big hits like Roxanne, Every Breath You Take and Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, they also dive deeper in the catalog with tracks like The Bed's Too Big Without You and Murder By Numbers. Some of the songs he stays true to the original song but some are so "deranged" that even the biggest fans can't identify the songs until the vocals begin. It's amazing that he doesn't meet the orchestra until the day of the show and then after 2.5 hours of rehearsal, they put on a killer show. I would also call this a family friendly show so if your town has an orchestra and can host Copeland and his derangements we highly suggest not only seeing the show but bringing the whole family.

We reviewed Blow By Blow by Jeff Beck last year and thought it was great (Ep 222) so we figured we'd also review Wired as it turns 50. And while Jeff did bring back producer George Martine (uh, The Beatles) he did choose to bring in some new blood. Most notably, he retained Jan Hammer - famous to the boys for creating the Miami Vice theme - and a jazz/new age legend in his own right. Wilbur Bascomb provides the bass (he's a real allstar on this record though Hammer does fill in on a couple of songs), Narada Michael Walden writes some songs and lays down the beat with Max Middleton returning on the keys to provide the foundation for Jeff and Jan to do their thing. Hearing these two playing off of each other can be intense and I wouldn't call this a rock record but more of a jazz fusion experiment. Led Boots is a heavy starter and while Jeff is happy to let others shine, he standouts extraordinarily on Charles Mingus' Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. Jan Hammer write Blue Wind starts the second side with some funk (provided mostly by Hammer on various machines) and the bluesy, jazzy jams make this record a showcase for getting talent in a room and letting them do their thing. There are no vocals on this album which makes it so surprising that it went platinum in the US. Jeff Beck never chased big fame or success, he chased tone and talent to play alongside. He willingly shares the spotlight and adds his flourishes when asked to but despite the name on the cover, it's very much a jazzy collaboration between some real pros. And he didn't think he could top it - he didn't make another studio album until 1980.

Shockingly, Mick Taylor turned in his resignation to The Rolling Stones in late 1974 after the Tour of the Americas had already been booked. That changed the landscape for the band immediately so they shelved plans to make a new release in 1975 and gave us the compilation Made in the Shade. While they enlisted Ronnie Wood to fill in on the tour, they brought in multiple guitar heroes to take a crack at it. Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat, John Mayall) brought funk (Hot Stuff) , Wayne Perkins added some tough southern riffs (Hand of Fate), Ronnie chipped in some reggae & latin rhythms (Cherry Oh Baby, Ney Negrita) and Jeff Beck even showed up to jam for a couple of hours. The end result didn't fit one cohesive style - it was the Stones looking for inspiration from black cultures all over the world, putting their own spin on things. Keith Richards wasn't always reliable so Mick Jagger carried forward with music he loved from all over. And they brought back some of the usual suspects in Nicky Hopkins and Billy Preston. However, Mick and Keith would cross a line with Billy that ruined their relationship forever (and we'll get into that on the show). Some might see it as a mixed bag, lacking cohesion and suffering from weak lyrics. Some Stones fans see it as an adventurous album with beloved deep tracks. Fool To Cry was an international hit but isn't huge in their repertoire so Black and Blue is often overlooked in their catalog. As it turns 50 we are getting better acquainted with Black & Blue and include a little overview of the 40th anniversary edition (which was released just months from its 50th annivesary).

Robert Plant is one of the true legends of rock n roll. His vocals made Led Zeppelin the biggest band in the world and his solo career is now in its 5th decade encompassing all sorts of different musical styles and genres. But Robert isn't a man who needs to trade on his past to get by. While he doesn't forget where he comes from, he's one to always push forward to explore new sounds and new collaborators to fulfill his yearning for making music. It makes for a great night out with Suzi Dian and Saving Grace, with whom he recorded an album of celtic/bluegrass/country tunes, all of which were covers or traditionals. His voice is still very smooth and perfect for the music he's choosing to make today. He doesn't have the ferocious yawp of 70s Robert Plant but he reworks some Zeppelin classics to fit the style of his band, the music he plays and how he performs today. So you'll hear about a reworked Ramble On, a true to form Four Sticks and a raucous version of Friends. But he also gives Calling to You a makeover, as well as an amazing and soulful I'm In The Mood which he and Suzi make new again with their voices in unison. If you want to see a bunch of Zeppelin tunes performed the way they sounded on the albums, go see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening (you can hear our review of that show from November, 2025) as it's an awesome show. But if you want to see a true legend still shine with new music and some nods to his past, you might not have a better night than seeing Robert Plant on this tour.

Sean and Lexi continue their werewolf-movie streak and focus on American Werewolf in Paris (1997), discussing how they expected a more direct, elegant follow-up to American Werewolf in London but instead got a teen-focused horror romp. They recap only the broad strokes: American teens in Paris, the Eiffel Tower bungee setup, Andy saving Serafin and getting pulled into a werewolf/ghost-filled mess involving wolf parties, murders, and a later science-y explanation for the curse. They call out the movie's heavy use of ghosts, wild tonal swings, and notably bad CGI, then briefly jump to future plans: keeping the two-movie format, picking Wolfen next, and eventually doing the Twilight movies.00:00 Cold Open Banter02:06 Picking The Movies03:47 Housekeeping And Theater Trips07:13 Texting And Weekend Chaos09:43 Werewolf In Paris Setup12:12 Ghosts And Sequel Expectations17:02 Eiffel Tower Bungee Intro23:59 Hospital Shoe And Dark Jokes31:47 Awkward Date And Condom Gag35:12 Condom Smell Rant36:30 Diner Chaos Setup37:16 Wolf Party Massacre37:36 Werewolves And Cannibal Talk43:19 Back To The Plot45:00 Period Scent Scene46:28 Ghost Friend Appears47:17 Graveyard Hookup Debate51:24 Ghost Julie Bowen Bits52:33 Serum Explanation Complaint53:09 Fourth Of July Trap54:57 Final Fight And Wedding57:26 Twilight Detour01:04:53 Next Week Picks
Suzi Quatro has been rocking out live for 7 decades. Since she was a teenager with her sisters in The Pleasure Seekers in the mid-60's she has been on stage, singing, playing her bass and proving that she rocks hard, no matter what box you may try to put her in. Suzi's new album Freedom is available for purchase and download and it's a rocker from start to finish. The title track is the lead single and she discusses how she and her son wrote that one and how she immediately knew it was a new anthem for her. They bring back that old Detroit raunchy-rock riffing with Suzi's unique voice on songs like Here's Ya Boots, Nobody Held My Hand and Shakedown and she even teams up with fellow Detroiter Alice Cooper on the MC5 classic Kick Out The Jams (and yes, Suzi says the expletive after Kick Out The Jams). Hear not only about how she made this record, one of her best in years, but about her long career, about moving to England in 1971 alone, touring the world, making fun of nerdy interviewers, being a mom and being her unstoppable, determined self. Of course we ask a Happy Days question but are so glad she didn't keep reprising Leather Tuscadero so we could get more of the real Suzi Quatro over the last 50 years.

As we've learned after 6 years of doing the show, once you interview someone you have a greater interest in seeing them play live. Maybe because you're invested in their career, maybe because they've shared stories of the inspiration for their music or maybe you just find them charming and want to support them. All of the above are true for Oliver Wakeman as he's been on our show several times and has shared stories about growing up with a famous father in Rick Wakeman. And because Oliver shared that Rick wasn't able to be around much as he was growing up and didn't really sit down with him at the piano, when we heard they were touring together as Wakeman & Son, we knew we had to see the show. The nearly 2 hour show gave both Rick and Oliver opportunities to play their solo material but they also accompanied each other which made for a special evening. Early on they played a suite of Yes music and jumped back and forth between compositions each of them wrote and played on. Rick also treated us to a suite of The Six Wives of Henry VIII, some outtakes from Journey To The Center Of The Earth and King Arthur. In between songs, both of them regaled us with stories and Rick offered up his legendary wit, especially when it was about needing bathroom breaks at his age. The icing on the cake was Oliver making time to see The Wolf and The Wolfcub after the show. He was as generous with his time as he was with his talent and we saw both the Wakemans enjoying their time together as father and son which was wonderful to see. It's a brief tour but if you have the chance, definitely see Wakeman & Son before they head back to the UK.
