Wolfcop
00:31:28
About
It’s time to dig out the silver and dial 911 as we tackle 2014’s “WolfCop”. A film which is potentially unique for featuring a dick-first werewolf transformation; proves that drinking on the job isn’t necessarily an issue in certain circumstances; and teaches us that 200 years of small town admin really makes you cranky. The title says it all, it’s the concept, the pitch and the advertising. “WolfCop” begins slowly, but once the lycanthropy kicks in, the film becomes a pure comic-book dream - the silliness combined with genuinely visceral practical effects make this a treat for horror lovers looking for a good party film. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
Adam's research
Verbatim lifts from Adam's own words in the episode. Click a timestamp to hear him say it.
- Werewolf film genre characteristics and production costs
Oh, yeah, you get you get a it's a that is a proper transformation sequence if you're quote unquote doing a straight werewolf movie. Yeah. Which now I come to think of it, I don't think exists. Yeah. Because all the like American Werewolf, which is the classic, you know, the the Uber Werewolf movie. is a comedy. And then you got stuff like Dog Soldiers, which is a comedy. You know, it seems to be a very good. Area, Well, I don't think there's a gap in the market, I think we've just spotted that that seems to be a very good area for this sort of thing seems to be if you're doing, because we've always said about that there seems to be a lot of zombie ones. But I think that's more a budgetary thing than anything else. Much in the same way reason there's loads of straight zombie movies is because essentially if you've got enough green makeup, you can make a zombie movie. Yeah. And but with this. You know. You have you have to have a bit more. Yeah, it's not just you're not just going to like, you know, buy a buy a bear suit and be able to do a werewolf movie.
- Wolf Cop's practical effects and performance
So I think it's much better when you've got and I enjoyed. the the fact that it's practical. Because I mean, obviously, like like I say, I mean and again, spoilers for anyone listening, as it turns out that the town is basically run, well, the town is run by shapeshifting reptilians. Um, and they've sort of like just shift and everything else like that, felt like anything you'd see on the Sci-Fi channel from. … So and they know the money shot is the werewolf. You want the werewolf transformation to be fantastic. Yeah. But equally, those films that are on the Sci-Fi channel were presented as genuine movies, so it's not like, you know, there's no sort of shame in that, as it were. But yeah, they they knew to go with that's the thing where they wanted to do a practical effect. And obviously, uh the guy who's playing Lou plays Wolf cop as well and, yeah, I think that it's good that you can get some personality out of the.
- Film funding and competition origins (Hobo with a Shotgun comparison)
But I mean, I know that's, I mean, certainly Hobo with a Shotgun, that's how that came about. Yeah. Was that one a trailer. competition to like make a trailer and then we'll do the film. Yeah. So and I can't remember. I mean, that's probably slightly that's slightly before this. But I mean, watching the end credits, there was a lot of thank yous in there, so I kind of assume there was some crowdfunding going on for it as well, but and I seem to recall at the time that Wolf cop was being funded in that way or like it was one of those things that sort of seem to be.
- Actor background: English actor in Canadian/US productions
Um, because he was he was a murderer in Hannibal. And I've seen him in a couple of other things. But apparently he's English. Because I had to because I had to look at I mean, I think he I think he's Canada based. But yeah. Actually then I have to explain why he's in Hannibal probably as well. But. You know, and there's lots of like US productions and stuff like that. But I was because at first I was like, I bloody know him from something and then I IMDb and it was like, oh, no, he's English. Okay. So and then and then in my head, I'm like, I must have seen him in a British production. It was like. No, no, no, literally everything on this list is all, you know, it's all American stuff and things like that. So. Cuz he's in he's in uh History of Violence as well.
- Sequel title and naming convention
I think Claire was disappointed when I because I said, oh, there is another Wolf cop, and she was like, oh, Wolf cop too. And I was like, no, the title is another Wolf cop. And she's like, oh, so is it a different Wolf cop? And it's like, no, no, no, it's just it's just that it's another film called Wolf cop.
- Tom Noonan's role in Monster Squad
Yeah, cuz I've cuz I've put I've put up a I've put up a tribute on Instagram, there were quite a number of people who were like, oh, I never realized he was Frankenstein in Monster Squad. They knew him in other things.
- Ti West's filmography (House of the Devil and The Innkeepers)
And it's Ti West, isn't it? And because obviously we did um the innkeeper in keepers.

Lee Good evening and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
Chris I'm Chris.
Adam I'm Adam.
Lee And we're here this evening to discuss 2014's, it's funny, this still feels like it came out about five years ago, but 2014's Wolf Cop.
Adam What are you talking about? 2014 was two years ago.
Chris Yeah.
Adam What are you talking about, mate?
Lee yes, so as previously discussed, I was this is another one of those films. I was desperate for it to come out, I couldn't wait for it.
Lee and yeah.
Lee I I think I watched it two or three times when it first came out and didn't watch it again, not because it wasn't I think I watched it again when the second film came out.
Lee I watched them back to back, but other than that, I haven't seen it again since. So I love it, but yeah, I just yeah, I just slipped from my mind to be honest.
Adam Yeah.
Lee Yeah.
Lee So, as it's Adam's first time of watching it.
Lee
Adam Okay. Well, first so started off and I was a bit sort of, you know, just sort of going with it.
Adam And you know, I I mean, yeah.
Adam thoroughly fucking entertaining film.
Adam but I think there was I think it was just I I sort of basically until we got to Werewolf.
Adam answering the phone.
Adam That was the that was my That's when it came into its own.
Adam Yeah.
Adam That was my tipping point because at that point it was.
Adam This is a fucking comic I would read.
Adam Yeah.
Adam You know, it felt a bit like there's there's stuff out there like.
Chris It was its transformation really, wasn't it?
Adam Yes, it was.
Adam It was the transformation.
Adam I mean, also, 100%, I am pretty certain that this is the first dick first were- right, right.
Chris You just taken.
Chris You've taken my best point which I'm sure was not was not that difficult for anyone to come up with, but yeah, it was absolutely my favorite werewolf cop film with werewolf transformation.
Adam Of that huge genre that is Well, we're very rarely prepared to.
Chris Well, so so there's a problem though, right?
Chris I was thinking we've actually been a bit spoiled because we've seen, and they came out after, the Wolf of Snow Hollow and the Snarling.
Lee Yes.
Chris Which are also very good Werewolf cop films.
Lee Yes, true. You're right, yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Chris And who would have thought?
Adam Although this is the only one that has genuinely managed to combine the two. I mean, spoilers. Obviously, oh, by the way, spoilers and swearing, so cox and werewolf Willy's.
Adam There you go.
Adam So that's sorry, anyone who hadn't seen the film.
Adam and is now just like, well, there's no point in me seeing that or alternately.
Chris Oh, we haven't we haven't told him about the later, the later bit.
Chris Yeah, there was a.
Adam Yeah, I think that that may have tipped it, you know, there are certain people where it's like, okay, it's got a cop first.
Adam werewolf transformation sequence, I'm in.
Adam
Adam But distinctly, yeah, it was I think there was it was the moment where Willie wasn't filming, which felt so perfectly accurate for your fuck up mate.
Adam You know what I mean? your enabling friend who believes all conspiracy theories. Yeah, that's the first thing that happens is, oh, fuck, I haven't pressed record.
Adam So that that got me and then from then on it really sort of snowballed.
Adam You know, it built his own Wolf cop feel.
Chris This is why we've never had decent footage of conspiracy theories and aliens and monsters because they always forget to press record at their most important point.
Adam Exactly.
Chris They're so excited.
Adam So, but yeah, no, I mean.
Adam genu genuinely, yeah, just an entertaining dark ride.
Adam and yeah, I mean, I'm just glad that it's I watch I because.
Adam I I've this is my first time seeing it and it was on shutter.
Adam I think they're they're both on shutter, actually another Wolf cop.
Adam and I would definitely, I definitely feel I'm going to watch another Wolf cop, so, you know, that's, you know.
Adam That that if anything suggests, you know, should sort of say that, yeah, how how the movie went.
Adam So like I say, in those sort of first initial sort of things, I was like, you know, just rambling along.
Adam Okay, I'm essentially anything like this.
Adam You are waiting for, let's get some werewolves on the screen.
Chris Yeah.
Adam And then, but yeah, once once that sort of what once it sort of breached that point and.
Adam absolutely embraced its ludicrousness.
Chris They know what they're going for.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And the and the fact that it's not just werewolves, it piles on.
Adam Yeah.
Adam You know, it's like, yeah, and.
Adam spirals out from there.
Adam So anyway, so yeah.
Adam So on on initial wash initial watch, I, yeah, I did I I enjoyed the mental ride that it was.
Adam And like I say, this is the sort of thing I read comics for.
Lee Yeah.
Lee Yeah, it's just it's bat shit and it's it's unapologetically bat shit.
Lee Yeah.
Lee And it it's excellent.
Lee I love and again, decent runtime, hour and 20, just.
Adam Oh, absolutely perfect that was as well.
Adam Yeah.
Lee Chris, what were your highlights?
Chris I mean, Adam has covered the majority of it.
Chris I I might be jumping right to the end by saying as I was about three quarters of the way through, I was thinking, I wonder what sort of parts or style they've decided to take from this to make into the sequel.
Chris And I'm assuming it maybe is more of the full on crazy comedy.
Chris But.
Lee It is. So the second one is more comedic, but it's also they go again, they keep that gore, if I remember correctly, because again, another Wolf cop, I think I've only seen once and as I say, I saw it, I ordered, I pre-ordered it, if I remember correctly, and I watched the first one when it arrived and then watched the second one immediately after.
Lee Yeah, and they keep the level of gore.
Chris Yeah.
Lee at least where it is.
Lee Which is.
Chris I mean that.
Chris The transformation is a bit it was quite unusual, wasn't it in compared to some of the other transformations you see because he comes from the inside.
Lee Yeah, so the werewolf comes out of the man and leaves his skin behind.
Adam Yeah.
Lee Yeah, and then.
Lee Which yeah, I again is a novel thing, but it did make for like an excellent transformation sequence, all the skin splitting open and.
Chris They definitely went for that.
Adam Oh, yeah, you get you get a it's a that is a proper transformation sequence if you're quote unquote doing a straight werewolf movie.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Which now I come to think of it, I don't think exists.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Because all the like American Werewolf, which is the classic, you know, the the Uber Werewolf movie.
Adam is a comedy.
Adam And then you got stuff like Dog Soldiers, which is a comedy.
Adam You know, it seems to be a very good.
Chris Oh, there's a gap in the market here.
Adam Area, Well, I don't think there's a gap in the market, I think we've just spotted that that seems to be a very good area for this sort of thing seems to be if you're doing, because we've always said about that there seems to be a lot of zombie ones.
Adam But I think that's more a budgetary thing than anything else.
Adam Much in the same way reason there's loads of straight zombie movies is because essentially if you've got enough green makeup, you can make a zombie movie.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And but with this.
Adam You know.
Adam You have you have to have a bit more.
Chris It's quite intricate.
Adam Yeah, it's not just you're not just going to like, you know, buy a buy a bear suit and be able to do a werewolf movie.
Adam So I think it's much better when you've got and I enjoyed.
Adam the the fact that it's practical.
Lee Yeah.
Chris Yeah, definitely.
Adam Because I mean, obviously, like like I say, I mean and again, spoilers for anyone listening, as it turns out that the town is basically run, well, the town is run by shapeshifting reptilians.
Adam and they've sort of like just shift and everything else like that, felt like anything you'd see on the Sci-Fi channel from.
Chris Yes, yeah, yeah.
Adam
Adam So and they know the money shot is the werewolf.
Adam You want the werewolf transformation to be fantastic.
Adam Yeah.
Adam But equally, those films that are on the Sci-Fi channel were presented as genuine movies, so it's not like, you know, there's no sort of shame in that, as it were.
Adam But yeah, they they knew to go with that's the thing where they wanted to do a practical effect.
Adam And obviously, the guy who's playing Lou plays Wolf cop as well and, yeah, I think that it's good that you can get some personality out of the.
Adam You know.
Adam Although at one point, I was watching it with Claire and she couldn't understand what he said at the end when he was when he's what what are you looking for and it was promotion or whatever.
Chris Promotion, yeah, yeah.
Adam
Lee Yeah.
Lee Yeah.
Lee So if I remember correctly, there's a slight discrepancy between my memory and what it says on IMDB, so I'm not sure which is true. I'm sure when I heard this film was coming out, it was basically it was a competition and they'd made a it was a trailer competition.
Lee You make a trailer and the best one gets a million pounds a million dollars to go and make the full length film.
Lee I'm sure is how I remember it being told.
Lee But on IMDB it says that the film was made and then it won a it won a competition and got given a million pounds to help push it and to get distribution, yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Lee So I'm not sure which of, I'm not sure whether the podcast I listened to.
Lee it mentioned on, had the information.
Lee wrong or if it's IMDB.
Lee But.
Lee
Adam It could be either way.
Adam But I mean, I know that's, I mean, certainly Hobo with a Shotgun, that's how that came about.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Was that one a trailer.
Adam competition to like make a trailer and then we'll do the film.
Adam Yeah.
Adam So and I can't remember.
Adam I mean, that's probably slightly that's slightly before this.
Adam But I mean, watching the end credits, there was a lot of thank yous in there, so I kind of assume there was some crowdfunding going on for it as well, but and I seem to recall at the time that Wolf cop was being funded in that way or like it was one of those things that sort of seem to be.
Lee Yeah, I may have confused it then with
Lee but yeah, and it's and on the IMDB, it does say suspected cost of the film $1 million.
Lee So I was like, oh, maybe it was.
Lee But yeah.
Lee Either way.
Lee I mean, it's it's a great film, I mean, for what that what it cost to make, it looks.
Lee and it's so entertaining.
Lee It's just.
Adam Yeah, it it doesn't it doesn't fall down, it doesn't look cheap.
Lee No.
Adam You know, it's it doesn't certainly not effects wise, but just in general, you know, there's there's shots in this that just were.
Adam you know, beautiful Canadian landscape anyway, but it's sort of, you know, there's and I like that wintery.
Adam feel to it, you know, that well, I mean, going to be but yeah, I because weirdly enough, I think that was probably in the opening sort of end of it.
Adam That felt more in the sort of, I don't know, that felt more in the true crime sort of stuff that I watch.
Adam So maybe that's where I wasn't getting quite the vibe of the humor of it because at that point it is kind of like one of those things where it's like, oh, he's he's he's a cop who there's takeaway everywhere.
Adam I mean, exaggerated to a fantastic level where it's like.
Adam Oh beer bottles in the fish tank and stuff.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Adam But essentially, you know, it is a thing that we've seen a lot where it's like the the cop who's life is Alkie cop.
Adam who's life has spiraled out of control.
Adam Yeah.
Adam You know, and then but, you know, and but then I think, yeah, as as it went on.
Adam And it sort of there's some.
Adam Is subtle the right word?
Adam Probably not.
Adam But you know, I I mean, I actually I actually picked up on clues and stuff like that where it was like, Jessica runs the bar and it was like, well, so she's in on it then of whatever is going on and stuff.
Adam You know.
Adam And you start to build that.
Lee Yeah.
Adam conspiracy and then and then wonderfully they just don't they go beyond that where it's like, no, it's shapeshifting aliens.
Adam actually running this town.
Adam And I do I love that as well where it was the sort of thing about why why are you running.
Adam This is really small fry, guys.
Adam You're shapeshifting aliens and you're just running like a sort of tiny backwater town in the mountains.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And the fact that they were still complaining that like, well, you don't know that this this actually takes a lot of administration.
Adam It's a lot of.
Lee Yeah, I say, I really like this.
Lee And that's why I was so glad with the sequel, yeah, that they bring back the, you know, the same main characters.
Lee So it it's Lou is back, obviously, because he's Wolfcop.
Lee But yeah, his best mate is back, Amy, the other police officer is back.
Lee So.
Adam Tina.
Lee Huh?
Adam Tina?
Lee You could be right.
Lee When did I get Amy from?
Lee It is Tina, you're quite right.
Lee I know it was a short name.
Lee
Adam Oh, so will.
Lee Yeah, the actress the actress name is Amy, that's probably it.
Adam Oh, there we go then.
Adam but, oh, so Willy's back for the second for the second one as well.
Lee Willy's back for the second one as well.
Lee I can't remember how they work it.
Chris Oh, right.
Lee But yeah, again it's.
Adam Well, I mean, in fairness, if it's alien shapeshifters, it could just be another alien who shapeshifted into it or something.
Adam
Adam
Adam
Adam
Chris Yes.
Lee We did have.
Lee This discussion, so I watched it and Lady Jennifer, who definitely was not going to watch this film.
Lee And I've always suggested it multiple times.
Lee She's always said, no, absolutely not.
Lee yeah, sat all the way through it and actually really enjoyed it.
Lee and but yeah, that was her question at the end was when they were.
Lee when the shapeshifters were changing.
Lee afterwards, she said, so were the shapeshifters playing multiple being multiple people in town, or was it that they were one person in town and could shapeshift to look like other people in town?
Lee And I was like.
Lee I assumed they were playing those people.
Lee Because of the three of the six characters played by the three shapeshifts.
Lee You never saw them, you know, so the ones that were played by the same shapeshifter.
Lee You never saw in the same place at the same time.
Lee So it could be that each one of them was playing too.
Lee But yeah.
Lee So I can't remember enough, so I am looking forward to watching the second one.
Lee And reminding myself of yeah, just how they managed to get that character back again.
Adam I mean, and less face it as as it stands, I don't think that there's you know, I don't think it's something that's going to bear too much too much examination.
Adam Yeah, it's not it's not going to be too of.
Lee I don't see anyone getting five minutes in and going, oh, right.
Lee So so they've got one right, that's it.
Lee And just throwing the from the TV.
Chris That's the problem.
Chris I'm out of here.
Adam You know what, I cannot watch this film about a law enforcement werewolf.
Adam Because it is it's jumped the shark at this point.
Adam You know, that's.
Adam That's that's very true.
Adam I think we've probably offend Saint Brown there.
Adam
Adam But.
Adam But I think that the
Adam Yeah, because because that was the the one person I recognized because I I didn't.
Adam I didn't research it mostly, I mean mostly as a timing issue.
Adam But also.
Adam I didn't want to sort of trip across anything and spoil any of the film or anything else like that.
Adam and so I I mean, I recognized I recognized the guy who was like the the chief, like the sheriff.
Adam Yeah.
Adam because he was he was a murderer in Hannibal.
Adam And I've seen him in a couple of other things.
Adam But apparently he's English.
Lee Oh, okay.
Adam Because I had to because I had to look at I mean, I think he I think he's Canada based.
Adam But yeah.
Adam Actually then I have to explain why he's in Hannibal probably as well.
Adam But.
Adam You know, and there's lots of like US productions and stuff like that.
Adam But I was because at first I was like, I bloody know him from something and then I IMDb and it was like, oh, no, he's English.
Adam Okay.
Adam So and then and then in my head, I'm like, I must have seen him in a British production.
Adam It was like.
Adam No, no, no, literally everything on this list is all, you know, it's all American stuff and things like that.
Adam So.
Adam Cuz he's in he's in History of Violence as well.
Adam But I don't I mean, it's been years since I saw that film and it's been.
Lee Oh yeah, I don't think I've seen that.
Adam Because I think because the the other thing as well is I think there was weirdly enough, I think I was expecting it to be.
Adam slightly not slightly more 80s, if you see what I mean.
Adam Yeah.
Adam In that because I think as a concept, it's it's a very.
Adam as a concept, it sounds like a movie that the Simpsons would have created.
Adam Yeah.
Adam Do you know what I mean?
Adam It's like you like, you know, that's that's a film that they'd go and see Wolf cop.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And it would have been an action film with Rainer Wolf Castle and so on and so forth.
Adam And actually I did notice that because when it's the missing pets.
Adam the list of missing pets at the start and you've got nipples the cat.
Lee I spotted that and laughed at that this time.
Lee Yeah.
Adam But there's there's one called McBain.
Adam Yeah, right.
Adam And again, I was.
Adam Maybe.
Adam And I it has to be said also, the one thing I was really the the thing that horrified the bit that I found most horrific was.
Adam I think I'm developing terrible misophonia.
Adam And the idea of the heightened senses, sort of like it's like that and it's like, shit.
Adam It's bad enough just with normal hearing.
Lee Yeah.
Adam when someone's tapping or someone's doing stuff or whatever like that, but yeah, when it's like I can hear the freight trains and things like that.
Adam I thought that was really.
Adam Although I did find it a bit weird when his boss went to him, oh, you could have shaved and it's like.
Adam You hadn't before, Eddie.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Adam But but yeah, it's sort of it's.
Adam Yeah, I just think there was a lot of and I think, yeah, once once it once it embraced the daftness to its full extent.
Adam Then, yeah, so I'm assume I'm assuming that number two, the good thing is, is obviously you don't have to build.
Chris Yeah.
Adam the premise, you can just go straight into it.
Adam Go straight in.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And obviously there's I mean, there's a like like all these things, there's a backlog of bad werewolf puns and wolf jokes and stuff like that.
Adam You can spot in there and stuff like that.
Adam I mean even just the fact that he's Lou Garu.
Chris Yeah.
Adam You know.
Lee Yeah, I and it yeah, I just loved I loved it again, I know we say it quite often, but this is one of those comedy horrors that gets both of them right in the right.
Lee It's definitely not scary in any way, shape or form, but it's really funny, the gore is excellent.
Lee The effects as you say are fantastic, you could have put that transformation in a serious movie and I've definitely seen way worse transformations in a serious movie.
Adam Yeah.
Lee
Lee Yeah, so I just and now I've watched it again for the first time in maybe a decade.
Lee I think this is going to become a more frequent return for me because, yeah, it's just it's really good.
Lee And it's a short film as well.
Lee Yeah, you've only got an hour and a half, you can squeeze it in, it's not like I fancy watching so and so, but you know, if I watch half tonight, I won't get to watch the other half for two days because I'm doing stuff.
Lee Like it's a nice short run time.
Lee and I think it's easily accessible.
Lee I think this is a great one for like a watch party.
Chris Yeah, I was thinking that definitely.
Adam Yeah.
Lee Yeah.
Lee So you can.
Adam No, this is this is this is a definite one.
Adam Because it's look, I mean, let's be fair, there there is a plot, but it's not like it's it's.
Chris It's not the most important part.
Adam No, no, the most important thing is Wolf cop.
Adam Yeah.
Adam You know.
Adam The concept's in the title, that's the that's the important bit and just the fact that.
Chris I don't like that the title tells you what you're going to get.
Chris The film doesn't mess around, it gives you what you're expecting.
Chris Like.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And it's I mean, it's sort of like, you know, it's sort of when he when he responds to the the liquor store raid and stuff like that.
Adam That's just sort of like.
Adam Yeah, it's just sort of wonderfully done.
Adam I mean, we were saying, I mean, before we started recording, you know, we were saying, you know, what's the.
Adam is is there a is there a moral message here or is there a, you know, is there a deeper meaning?
Adam I mean, other than that, I mean, the message seems to be that
Adam You can still be a good cop as long as you stick keep drinking.
Chris Yeah, I was going to say, that is.
Adam Yeah.
Adam You know, because that because you know, that's the sort of the the element that's in there that's sort of like, oh, well, I think I think the reason why he's not as bestial a werewolf as what we're used to.
Adam is the fact that he's lethe all the time.
Adam Yeah.
Lee yeah, and again, like you say, it is it is a film you can sum up very quickly.
Lee You could sum it up with one two second sound bite, which is the bit when they turn up to the raid at the liquor store.
Lee And he just says to the to the guy who runs it, tell me again what happened?
Lee And he went, fucking big wolf.
Lee And that's it.
Lee That's all you need to know.
Adam I mean, literally the title is the pitch.
Lee Yeah.
Adam The title is the pitch, the concept and the point.
Adam And that's that's that's that's very rare, you know.
Lee Yeah, again, this is one of those if this was shown somewhere, you know, like Lumi or Prince Charles or horror.
Lee Like yeah, this would be a great one to watch with a big drunk crowd.
Lee I just think it's.
Chris Yeah, absolutely.
Lee Such a even just sitting on the sofa watching it, it's a party atmosphere, it's just excellent.
Lee
Adam Yeah.
Lee Yeah, and as I say, the the sequel is basically a cross between this film and Strange Brew.
Lee if you've ever seen Strange Brew.
Adam No.
Lee Well.
Lee You you should, Rick Moranis, it I'm sure we've definitely discussed it before.
Chris Oh.
Lee They used to do, so on SNL, it was him and another guy and they used to do a
Lee like a segment and basically the idea was they were two Canadian brothers who just drunk beer and liked hockey.
Lee And they just sat on their sofa doing a cable access show and slagging each other off and that was that was the whole thing.
Lee And then they gave him a film and Max Von Sidow was in it.
Lee
Adam Oh right, okay.
Lee Yeah.
Lee And basically they.
Lee They tried to get free beer from the local brewery, but the guy Max von Sidow who owns the brewery is creating, for some reason that I can't quite remember, a murderous ice hockey team.
Lee And I can't remember if they're people who are being controlled by a signal or something, or if they're robots.
Lee I can't remember which of the two it is, but that's the premise.
Lee yeah, and basically Wolf cop two is that plus Wolf cop.
Lee So.
Adam Okay.
Lee Yeah.
Lee So I I can't wait to start that.
Chris Oh, signed me up.
Lee I mean.
Lee It wasn't.
Lee For the fact I literally finished watching this an hour and a half before we started recording and I had to go and have dinner, I would probably have just rolled straight into another Wolf cop, so.
Lee
Adam I think Claire was disappointed when I because I said, oh, there is another Wolf cop, and she was like, oh, Wolf cop too.
Adam And I was like, no, the title is another Wolf cop.
Adam And she's like, oh, so is it a different Wolf cop?
Adam And it's like, no, no, no, it's just it's just that it's another film called Wolf cop.
Adam Like when they use mind you, it's it's quite good, it's like that I can't remember who it was.
Adam Someone had a horse called another horse.
Adam So that when it was the commentary on the horse racing it'd be like, and that's followed by another horse.
Lee Yeah.
Lee Yeah, it's great.
Lee And again, it's one of those I'm so glad that they managed to get a sequel because.
Lee I clearly enough people were taken by it that Kevin Smith, I don't know whether he funded it or what, but he's in the second movie and he's.
Adam Oh right.
Adam Okay.
Lee So yeah.
Lee So are we going to are we going to cover another Wolf cop for our next episode or have we got something else lined up on deck?
Adam Well, I mean, I was going to say, I mean, we could certainly do there's the possibilities there.
Adam We could do another Wolf cop.
Adam but also in the week, I was wondering.
Lee We did.
Adam We lost Tom Noonan.
Lee We did.
Lee Unfortunately.
Adam And I was wondering if we should maybe do House of the Devil.
Lee Oh, now that is a very good call.
Adam Because I haven't seen that for a very long time now.
Lee Nor have I.
Adam But it's I you know, pretty damn good.
Lee Yeah, and I think that'd be a fitting tribute.
Lee Talking of fitting tributes to Tom Noonan, funny enough.
Lee this weekend was the start of the Romford Horror Film Festival.
Chris Oh, yes, of course, yeah.
Lee And so I bought tickets back in January.
Lee But yeah, so Jennifer and I last night with my brother and our friend Chris and.
Adam That's not you, Chris.
Chris No.
Lee No, it's a different Chris.
Lee Yeah.
Lee
Lee and watched Monster Squad.
Adam Oh, cool.
Lee Which I'd never seen on the big screen.
Lee And was excellent, but yeah, I say it seemed a fitting fitting tribute, only a couple of days after his the news of his passing reached us.
Lee Yeah, we were going to see Monster Squad.
Lee So.
Adam Yeah, cuz I've cuz I've put I've put up a I've put up a tribute on Instagram, there were quite a number of people who were like, oh, I never realized he was Frankenstein in Monster Squad.
Adam They knew him in other things.
Adam But yeah.
Lee He's so heavily made up in it.
Adam Yeah.
Lee I mean, he is he's Frankenstein, he's going to be but.
Adam Yes.
Adam Yeah, in fairness, I mean, it's a bit much like when we were playing zombies and they blacked your teeth out and then said mine were fine.
Adam It'd be it's a bit of a fucking insult if you turn up playing Frankenstein.
Adam And they just go.
Adam You're good as you are, mate.
Lee Yeah.
Adam So.
Adam So I've I've been there and I've felt that pain.
Adam So.
Adam Yeah, you want you want to you want at least a couple of layers of latex if you're playing Frank.
Lee Yeah, oh, House of the Devil.
Lee is yeah, I don't want to give anything away, but it was one of those.
Lee I thought it was going to be a bit crap and it was one of those I'd heard about and it just didn't really.
Lee draw me in concept and the artwork and stuff.
Lee But, oh, yeah, what an absolute.
Lee classic out of nowhere.
Adam And it's Ti West, isn't it?
Lee It is Ti West.
Lee Yes.
Adam And because obviously we did the innkeeper in keepers.
Lee Yes.
Adam Quite some time ago, didn't we?
Adam Which was obviously that was his follow up to House of the Devil.
Lee Yes.
Adam And.
Adam yeah, so no, I think we're definitely.
Adam I think was so what so you think House of the Devil then?
Lee Yep.
Lee 100%, I'm definitely up for that.
Lee Again, another film.
Lee I saw it a couple of times when it first came out, I've got a habit of doing that.
Lee A film comes out and it's amazing and I love it and I'll watch it maybe a month later and then I just completely forget it exists.
Adam But that's the thing is, is, you know, things roll on and stuff like that and if anything, I I hopefully, I think that.
Adam it offers a service sometimes because, you know, everyone knows that you're meant to watch Rosemary's Baby.
Lee Yeah.
Adam But sometimes, you know, if the film's been out for a few years, like like Bubba Hopp.
Adam The number of people who were like, oh, you know, Christ, I haven't seen this for years.
Adam or sort of.
Adam you know, people who didn't know it.
Lee Yeah.
Adam And again, it's sort of like, well, if I if we if we can resurrect some of these films because this this so much good shit out there.
Adam and has been, you know.
Adam There's peaks and troughs.
Adam But essentially, there's probably always been at least one fucking classic made every year.
Lee Yeah, Oh yeah, something that.
Adam in one way or another.
Lee the beers rewatch it on a regular basis, definitely.
Adam Exactly, yeah.
Lee Excellent.
Lee Right, okay then.
Lee So to wrap up, thanks ever so much for listening everybody.
Lee go and check out Wolfcop.
Lee Go and check out another Wolfcop.
Lee We may well return at a later date and and cover that separately.
Lee I'm probably going to be watching it in the week.
Lee yes, and we'll be back in a fortnite's time for House of the Devil.
Lee So if you haven't seen it, go and watch that.
Lee Thanks very much for listening and good night.
