Welcome to the Silver Scream, a podcast where two friends talk about every werewolf movie. This is our 20th episode! Thanks for listening in on our journey throught werewolf cinema. Today we're discussing the film that inspired Alyssa to want to start this podcast!  Werewolf of Washington (1973) is directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg and stars Dean Stockwell. One thing we appreciate about this film is the man who made it. We take some time this episode to tell the story of Milton Moses Ginsberg career and legacy, a small tribute to an underappreciated indie filmmaker who really put himself into his work.
