"Teen Wolf" (1985) with Gerry D, JB Huffman & Vinnie Brezinsky

Let's be honest: the '80s were a minefield for horror comedies. But for every Gremlins and Monster Squad, you had to suffer through duds like My Mom's A Werewolf or My Best Friend’s a Vampire.A few films got the formula right, and one, in particular, became a cultural phenomenon. It wasn't about monsters in the closet or clowns from space—it was about basketball, best friends, and some serious growing pains.So, practice your jump shot, crank up the Beach Boys, and get ready to van surf as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Gerry D, JB Huffman, and Vinnie Brezinsky discuss Teen Wolf from 1985 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:​Harold Howard tells Scott, "With great power comes an even greater responsibility," which is an expression usually associated with Spider-Man. Screenwriter Jeph Loeb was also a comic book writer, having written Spider-Man comics.​When Scott talks to Coach Finstock about potentially quitting the basketball team (around the 06:00 mark), this conversation was actually meant to happen much later in the film after Scott's first "Wolf-Out." Most likely, it would be the day after (around time markers 33:00 - 45:00). The clue is in the shirt Scott is wearing. When Scott speaks with the Coach, his shirt is green and black plaid, but when he talks to Boof in the next scene (around the 8:00 mark), his shirt changes to blue. The day after his first "Wolf-Out" when Scott returns to school, he's wearing the green/black plaid shirt again. For some reason, the filmmakers thought the talk between Scott and the Coach would work better earlier in the film than right before he transforms in front of everyone during the game.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDBhttps://www.wickedhorror.com/top-horror-lists/five-reasons-why-teen-wolf-1985-is-totally-tubular/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!
