Released in 1981, "An American Werewolf in London" remains a timeless horror classic that combines elements of comedy, romance, and intense gore to deliver a unique and memorable cinematic experience. Directed by John Landis and featuring ground breaking special effects by Rick Baker, this film revolutionized the werewolf genre and set a new standard for horror-comedy. With its compelling storyline, impressive performances, and stunning practical effects, "An American Werewolf in London" continues to captivate audiences even over four decades after its initial release.The film follows the story of two American backpackers, David Kessler (played by David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (played by Griffin Dunne), who are attacked by a werewolf while wandering the moors of England. David survives the attack but soon realizes that he has become cursed with the werewolf's curse. As his condition worsens, David's life spirals into chaos, as he struggles with his newfound identity and the terrifying consequences of his transformation.What sets "An American Werewolf in London" apart is its unique blend of horror and humor. The film deftly balances moments of gut-wrenching terror with lighthearted comedic relief, creating a rollercoaster of emotions for the audience. The witty banter between David and the ghost of Jack, who frequently appears as a decaying corpse, provides dark humour amidst the gripping horror narrative.The performances in "An American Werewolf in London" are exceptional, particularly from David Naughton and Griffin Dunne. Naughton brings a compelling vulnerability to his role as David, effectively conveying his fear, confusion, and eventual acceptance of his monstrous nature. Dunne's portrayal of Jack as a decomposing, wisecracking spectre adds a surreal and macabre touch to the film. Their on-screen chemistry is engaging and authentic, making their friendship and the subsequent tragedy all the more impactful.John Landis's direction showcases his ability to balance horror and comedy while maintaining a consistent tone throughout the film. He expertly builds tension in the atmospheric scenes set in the eerie moors and the dimly lit London streets. The film's pacing is excellent, with Landis masterfully alternating between moments of dread and comic relief.One of the standout aspects of "An American Werewolf in London" is its ground breaking special effects, created by the legendary Rick Baker. The transformation scene, in which David painfully morphs into a werewolf, remains one of the most iconic and realistic sequences in horror cinema. The practical effects, achieved without the aid of CGI, are still astonishing by today's standards. Baker's attention to detail in capturing the visceral and gruesome nature of the transformation is unparalleled, leaving audiences both mesmerized and repulsed."An American Werewolf in London" is a timeless masterpiece that successfully blends horror, comedy, and romance to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. John Landis's direction, coupled with outstanding performances from David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, elevates the film beyond typical genre fare. The remarkable practical effects by Rick Baker remain a benchmark in the industry, showcasing his mastery in creating visceral and realistic horror. With its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and a perfect balance between terror and humor, "An American Werewolf in London" remains an essential watch for horror enthusiasts and lovers of classic cinema alike.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

This week Jesse Bloom of Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research has published an account of some DNA sequence data he located in an internet archive, despite it having been removed from the US NIH's Sequence Read Archive. He tells Roland Pease of its significance to our understanding of the beginning of the Covid pandemic, but also, of more general interest, to what it might tell scientists about the full availability of relevant virological evidence. Elsewhere, Elena Zavala of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig has been using new techniques for sequencing tiny fragments of mitochondrial DNA found in layers of mud to trace a long narrative of different evolutionary species of human and animal and their changing fortunes. As she describes in a paper published in Nature, sediments from different depths of the floor of the famous Denisova cave tell a long story of different humans (Denisovan and Neanderthal), bears, hyenas and other animals living there over different periods in the last 250 thousand years. Over in the journal Science, several papers describe a new type of early hominin found in Nesher Rambla, Israel, that may be yet another instance of a human species that didn't quite make it. As Marta Lahr, professor in human evolutionary biology at Cambridge University tells Roland the new findings all point to the bigger question – given the similar ages, technologies and even neighbourhoods that all these types of hominin shared, just what was it about our own direct ancestor species that enabled us to take over the world? Since almost the beginning of the Covid pandemic, in some parts of the world, the drug Ivermectin has been repurposed as a therapy against the disease, with some even believing it to convey protection against infection – a situation not without tragic consequences. The evidence for any meaningful effect has been less than obvious to most scientists and health authorities. Not the first controversial drug in the story of Covid-19, the discourse has led to abuse directed at scientists and officials, and scathing arguments across social media. As Oxford University's PRINCIPLE trial this week begins to include Ivermectin in its investigations, BBC Reality Check's Jack Goodman reports on the Ivermectin's tortuous path. It took a while before it was officially recognised as a major symptom of Covid-19, but loss of smell has affected up to 60 percent of people who have had the virus. And for a significant portion, smell continues to be an issue for weeks or months after their recovery. So what's going on and how can you get your sense of smell back? We tend to think of our sense of smell as something universal – if it smells bad to me, it probably does to you but that is not the case for CrowdScience listener Annabel, who wonders why things other people love to sniff, she finds disgusting. Anand Jagatia investigates the science of smell, gets up close to the world's smelliest plant and finds out if smell training can help those with long-term issues after Covid. (Image: Getty Images)

The Prime Minister has announced his desire for the UK to become a 'science superpower'. A new office within the cabinet to look at science will work alongside existing science strategy and funding structures. So far it's unclear where the responsibilities between the various science policy bodies lie. James Wilsdon, Professor of Research Policy at the University of Sheffield, helps Gaia Vince pick her way through the spaghetti of overlapping organisations and Dame Ottoline Leyser, UKRI Chief Executive, gives her her take of the impact of the reorganisation. A major new trial has been announced into the effectiveness of the drug Ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19. There's controversy surrounding the drug, which was designed to kill parasitic worms. It showed some promise against the virus in very limited lab studies. For many reluctant to vaccinate these studies seemed to suggest an alternative way to treat the virus. However, regulatory bodies disagree. It's hoped the new study and a range of other wide scale trials will give a more rounded view on the potential if any for Ivermectin as a Covid 19 treatment. Jack Goodman from the BBC News Misinformation Unit has been looking at the controversy surrounding Ivermectin. Scientists researching it have been subject to abuse and in some countries it has been rolled out as a treatment despite the lack of evidence on its effectiveness. There have been reports of a number of cases of Black Fungus in patients with Covid-19 in India. What exactly is this unusual but life threatening fungal growth? Dr Nitin Gupta, Assistant Professor in Infectious Diseases at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, South West India, explains why this previously rare infection is now on the rise.. Gaia Vince talks to Elena Zavala of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany about how she and her team have managed to extract DNA from samples of earth from the Denisovan cave in Siberia. Some years ago fragments of bone recovered from the cave revealed a new hominin species, called the Denisovans. Now DNA analysis of the layers of earth built up over hundreds of thousands of years are painting a picture of the vast variety of early people who used the cave, which included Neanderthals and early humans as well as Denisovans.

Recent surveys indicate that there might be rising scepticism about vaccines in South Africa. But even before the coronavirus pandemic started, the Rainbow Nation was battling a tide of anti-vaccine misinformation online. And one study found that although there is a relatively small group of South African anti-vaccine activists, they are being bolstered by a wave of material coming from abroad. We meet a pharmacist who has been tracking the alarming reach of that small group of hardcore anti-vaccinators for the last five years. And we hear how the country’s class system contributes to a big divide in willingness to take vaccines. Plus we hear from the activists staging a fightback against the Covid-19 “infodemic”. Sarah is a mole in a number of anti-vax chat app groups and runs a pro-vaccine Facebook page aimed at countering their disinformation. But can she convince someone with questions about vaccines to actually get one? Pres: Mike Wendling Reporter: Jonathan Griffin Additional production: Jack Goodman

On the evening of December 1, 63 television stations owned by TEGNA were blocked from DirecTV customers, as talks regarding a new retransmission consent agreement between the two companies failed to reach a fresh deal before the prior accord expired. Twenty-four hours later, an even bigger "blackout" transpired, and it involves Dish and Nexstar.The reason? New retransmission consent agreements couldn’t be finalized in time, and the previous ones expired. It’s an increasingly troubling problem for broadcast TV station owners, and to learn more about the history of retransmission consent and why, perhaps, it is such a contentious matter, former NAB General Counsel and noted Washington, D.C. attorney Jack Goodman spoke with RBR+TVBR Editor-in-Chief Adam R Jacobson for this fresh InFOCUS Podcast, presented by DOT.FM.

Did a naked American man steal your balloons? If so, this is the movie for you! From writer/director John Landis (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE, THE BLUES BROTHERS) comes THE monster movie, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON! From the moonlit moors of England to Picadilly Circle, this classic horror film follows the story of David Kessler (David Naughton), an American backpacking through Europe who is soon to become a rampaging beast. Griffin Dunne (AFTER HOURS, ADDICTED TO LOVE) co-stars as Jack Goodman, David's best (and undead) friend, and Jenny Agutter (LOGAN'S RUN) stars as Alice, the nurse that takes him in.  This film was the recipient of the 1981 Oscar for Best Makeup.

Throughout the pandemic, we've seen an explosion in information about the science of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, and the disease it causes, COVID-19. An article online, or a text forwarded, could be true and sounds about right, but how do you know that it's accurate? When scrolling through your social feed, how do you decipher fact from fiction? A new report, by Kings College London and Ipsos MORI, reveals that those of us who get our news from social media are more likely to believe misinformation about the pandemic. Marnie talks to Jack Goodman of the Anti-Disinformation Unit at BBC Online, a new team set up to tackle the problem. She finds out how science fact turns to science fiction online, and what the team is doing to try to counter this. Now that wearing face masks are now mandatory in a number of situations, a lot of us are making our own. BBC Inside Science listeners sent in lots of ideas about the design, maintenance and durability of face masks, and other ways to protect against spreading the coronavirus. We asked Professor of Materials & Society at UCL Mark Miodownik in to comment. In February this year, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter, SolO, successfully launched, escaping this planet before most of us went into lock-down. Professor Lucie Green from the Mullard Space Science Lab at University College London, is a solar scientist and part of the team that will be using a telescope to take images of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light. The orbiter is now in it’s ‘Cruise Phase’ which means most of its instruments have now been tested and calibrated, but aren’t yet up and running. One instrument that has been operational since just after launch is the magnetometer, which will collect data on the Sun’s complex and dynamic magnetic field.

Hello! Welcome to the first podcast of 2020! There’s no better guest to start the year with than the indefatigable Michael Mann, world renowned climate scientist from Penn State University. Michael’s spent the past month on a sabbatical in Australia, which has unfortunately meant that he’s seen the devastation of the wildfires in person. Climate change has had such an adverse effect on wildfires around the world, that there’s essentially no wildfire season anymore. In parts of Australia, they’re literally creating their own weather systems. Below is a post-game analysis of everything we discussed. Enjoy. 🧐Dangerous Climate Change Is Here, NowMichael couldn’t have picked a better, or worse, time to take a sabbatical in Sydney. On one hand, spending a month in a country that’s literally on fire isn’t ideal, but on the other, having Michael to testify and contextualize the damage first hand is a silver lining. As part of his research into the linkages between climate change and extreme weather events, Michael visited the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system, which will completely disappear within decades unless a dramatic reduction in global carbon emissions occurs. Michael also travelled to another of Australia’s natural wonders, the Blue Mountains, which is currently on fire and faces irreparable damage. The fires first started more than four months ago in September, and don’t show any sign of slowing. Michael Mann for The GuardianVisualizing the Destruction Down UnderUnless you’ve seen a wildfire up close, it’s hard to imagine their severity. Thank the lord for the immense talent of the visual teams at The Guardian and the New York Times for contextualizing how bad the wildfires are.The temperature in Sydney has regularly topped 100° Fahrenheit, including a handful of days of more than 110°…Based on current data, this is likely to be Australia’s worst bout with wildfires on record.And now we know just how dangerous it is to live in parts of Australia right now…But not dangerous enough for the Australian Open tennis tournament to be postponed…Australia’s Atrocious Climate Change RecordI’m sorry to do this, but the misery gets worse. Scott Morrison, Australia’s prime minister, is as terrible as they come when it involves climate change policy. Don’t be confused: Morrison’s Liberal Party are anything but liberal, and are weirdly the major right-wing party in Australia, whose climate change policies are utterly insufficient. According to the 2020 Climate Change Performance Index (page 9), Australia is 53rd of the 58 countries ranked, and rubs shoulders with the likes of Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Spoiler alert: the U.S. is last, but we knew that, right?It’s okay though, because Morrison insists his policies are adequate with no need for anyone to panic. No really, he actually said that. And that comes after he decided it would be fine to take a family vacation to Hawaii in the midst of his country burning to the ground. To be fair to the bloke, he did apologize for leaving his country when it needed him most, and compared his dilemma to a plumber deciding whether to accept a contract on a Friday afternoon. 🤷‍♂️Jack Goodman, BBCPlease Like Me, ThanksBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read.Celebrities Are Donating More Than Oil CompaniesPrime minister Morrison announced a $2 billion Australian dollar ($1.4 USD) relief fund for victims, but this reactive measure isn’t anywhere near enough. Australia’s Climate Council said recently that the total damage from lost productivity may reach A$19 billion by 2030, A$211 billion by 2050 and an insane A$4 trillion by 2100, according to Bloomberg. So who’s left to make up the paltry help from the government? Celebrities. Thanks to analysis from Emily Atkin — SUBSCRIBE TO HER NEWSLETTER — we know Nicole Kidman’s $250,000 donation equates to roughly $738 for the average American who makes $59,000. Compare that to Chevron’s $1 million donation, which equates to about $3.96 for the average American, based on the $15 billion Chevron made in 2018. And of course don’t forget Exxon Mobil…Emily Atkin, HeatedWant more of Emily? We had an hourish chat on all things climate change. 👇Dutch Supreme Court’s Landmark RulingAlas, you’ve made it to the end. For that, you shall be rewarded with some hope. On December 20, the supreme court in the Netherlands upheld a ruling ordering the country’s government had explicit duties to protect its citizens’ human rights because of climate change. The government must now reduce emissions by at least 25 percent compared with 1990 levels by the end of 2020. The landmark judgement had been in the courts for six years after the Dutch government fought the litigation at every stage. David Boyd, the UN special rapporteur on human rights and the environment, said it was “the most important climate change court decision in the world so far,” which has already inspired similar lawsuits in Pakistan and New Zealand. According to this database created by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, there are currently 325 climate litigation cases in the courts around the world as we speak.
