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.

LeeGood evening and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
ChrisI'm Chris.
AdamI'm Adam.
LeeAnd 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.
AdamWhat are you talking about? 2014 was two years ago.
ChrisYeah.
AdamWhat are you talking about, mate?
Leeyes, 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.
Leeand yeah.
LeeI 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.
LeeI 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.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah.
LeeSo, as it's Adam's first time of watching it.
Lee
AdamOkay. Well, first so started off and I was a bit sort of, you know, just sort of going with it.
AdamAnd you know, I I mean, yeah.
Adamthoroughly fucking entertaining film.
Adambut I think there was I think it was just I I sort of basically until we got to Werewolf.
Adamanswering the phone.
AdamThat was the that was my That's when it came into its own.
AdamYeah.
AdamThat was my tipping point because at that point it was.
AdamThis is a fucking comic I would read.
AdamYeah.
AdamYou know, it felt a bit like there's there's stuff out there like.
ChrisIt was its transformation really, wasn't it?
AdamYes, it was.
AdamIt was the transformation.
AdamI mean, also, 100%, I am pretty certain that this is the first dick first were- right, right.
ChrisYou just taken.
ChrisYou'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.
AdamOf that huge genre that is Well, we're very rarely prepared to.
ChrisWell, so so there's a problem though, right?
ChrisI 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.
LeeYes.
ChrisWhich are also very good Werewolf cop films.
LeeYes, true. You're right, yeah.
AdamYeah.
ChrisAnd who would have thought?
AdamAlthough 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.
AdamThere you go.
AdamSo that's sorry, anyone who hadn't seen the film.
Adamand is now just like, well, there's no point in me seeing that or alternately.
ChrisOh, we haven't we haven't told him about the later, the later bit.
ChrisYeah, there was a.
AdamYeah, 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.
Adamwerewolf transformation sequence, I'm in.
Adam
AdamBut 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.
AdamYou 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.
AdamSo that that got me and then from then on it really sort of snowballed.
AdamYou know, it built his own Wolf cop feel.
ChrisThis 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.
AdamExactly.
ChrisThey're so excited.
AdamSo, but yeah, no, I mean.
Adamgenu genuinely, yeah, just an entertaining dark ride.
Adamand yeah, I mean, I'm just glad that it's I watch I because.
AdamI I've this is my first time seeing it and it was on shutter.
AdamI think they're they're both on shutter, actually another Wolf cop.
Adamand I would definitely, I definitely feel I'm going to watch another Wolf cop, so, you know, that's, you know.
AdamThat that if anything suggests, you know, should sort of say that, yeah, how how the movie went.
AdamSo like I say, in those sort of first initial sort of things, I was like, you know, just rambling along.
AdamOkay, I'm essentially anything like this.
AdamYou are waiting for, let's get some werewolves on the screen.
ChrisYeah.
AdamAnd then, but yeah, once once that sort of what once it sort of breached that point and.
Adamabsolutely embraced its ludicrousness.
ChrisThey know what they're going for.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd the and the fact that it's not just werewolves, it piles on.
AdamYeah.
AdamYou know, it's like, yeah, and.
Adamspirals out from there.
AdamSo anyway, so yeah.
AdamSo on on initial wash initial watch, I, yeah, I did I I enjoyed the mental ride that it was.
AdamAnd like I say, this is the sort of thing I read comics for.
LeeYeah.
LeeYeah, it's just it's bat shit and it's it's unapologetically bat shit.
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd it it's excellent.
LeeI love and again, decent runtime, hour and 20, just.
AdamOh, absolutely perfect that was as well.
AdamYeah.
LeeChris, what were your highlights?
ChrisI mean, Adam has covered the majority of it.
ChrisI 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.
ChrisAnd I'm assuming it maybe is more of the full on crazy comedy.
ChrisBut.
LeeIt 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.
LeeYeah, and they keep the level of gore.
ChrisYeah.
Leeat least where it is.
LeeWhich is.
ChrisI mean that.
ChrisThe 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.
LeeYeah, so the werewolf comes out of the man and leaves his skin behind.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah, and then.
LeeWhich yeah, I again is a novel thing, but it did make for like an excellent transformation sequence, all the skin splitting open and.
ChrisThey definitely went for that.
AdamOh, 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.
AdamYeah.
AdamWhich now I come to think of it, I don't think exists.
AdamYeah.
AdamBecause all the like American Werewolf, which is the classic, you know, the the Uber Werewolf movie.
Adamis a comedy.
AdamAnd then you got stuff like Dog Soldiers, which is a comedy.
AdamYou know, it seems to be a very good.
ChrisOh, there's a gap in the market here.
AdamArea, 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.
AdamBut I think that's more a budgetary thing than anything else.
AdamMuch 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.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd but with this.
AdamYou know.
AdamYou have you have to have a bit more.
ChrisIt's quite intricate.
AdamYeah, 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.
AdamSo I think it's much better when you've got and I enjoyed.
Adamthe the fact that it's practical.
LeeYeah.
ChrisYeah, definitely.
AdamBecause 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.
Adamand they've sort of like just shift and everything else like that, felt like anything you'd see on the Sci-Fi channel from.
ChrisYes, yeah, yeah.
Adam
AdamSo and they know the money shot is the werewolf.
AdamYou want the werewolf transformation to be fantastic.
AdamYeah.
AdamBut 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.
AdamBut yeah, they they knew to go with that's the thing where they wanted to do a practical effect.
AdamAnd 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.
AdamYou know.
AdamAlthough 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.
ChrisPromotion, yeah, yeah.
Adam
LeeYeah.
LeeYeah.
LeeSo 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.
LeeYou make a trailer and the best one gets a million pounds a million dollars to go and make the full length film.
LeeI'm sure is how I remember it being told.
LeeBut 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.
AdamYeah.
LeeSo I'm not sure which of, I'm not sure whether the podcast I listened to.
Leeit mentioned on, had the information.
Leewrong or if it's IMDB.
LeeBut.
Lee
AdamIt could be either way.
AdamBut I mean, I know that's, I mean, certainly Hobo with a Shotgun, that's how that came about.
AdamYeah.
AdamWas that one a trailer.
Adamcompetition to like make a trailer and then we'll do the film.
AdamYeah.
AdamSo and I can't remember.
AdamI mean, that's probably slightly that's slightly before this.
AdamBut 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.
LeeYeah, I may have confused it then with
Leebut yeah, and it's and on the IMDB, it does say suspected cost of the film $1 million.
LeeSo I was like, oh, maybe it was.
LeeBut yeah.
LeeEither way.
LeeI mean, it's it's a great film, I mean, for what that what it cost to make, it looks.
Leeand it's so entertaining.
LeeIt's just.
AdamYeah, it it doesn't it doesn't fall down, it doesn't look cheap.
LeeNo.
AdamYou 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.
Adamyou know, beautiful Canadian landscape anyway, but it's sort of, you know, there's and I like that wintery.
Adamfeel 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.
AdamThat felt more in the sort of, I don't know, that felt more in the true crime sort of stuff that I watch.
AdamSo 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.
AdamI mean, exaggerated to a fantastic level where it's like.
AdamOh beer bottles in the fish tank and stuff.
LeeYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamBut 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.
Adamwho's life has spiraled out of control.
AdamYeah.
AdamYou know, and then but, you know, and but then I think, yeah, as as it went on.
AdamAnd it sort of there's some.
AdamIs subtle the right word?
AdamProbably not.
AdamBut 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.
AdamYou know.
AdamAnd you start to build that.
LeeYeah.
Adamconspiracy and then and then wonderfully they just don't they go beyond that where it's like, no, it's shapeshifting aliens.
Adamactually running this town.
AdamAnd I do I love that as well where it was the sort of thing about why why are you running.
AdamThis is really small fry, guys.
AdamYou're shapeshifting aliens and you're just running like a sort of tiny backwater town in the mountains.
AdamYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd the fact that they were still complaining that like, well, you don't know that this this actually takes a lot of administration.
AdamIt's a lot of.
LeeYeah, I say, I really like this.
LeeAnd that's why I was so glad with the sequel, yeah, that they bring back the, you know, the same main characters.
LeeSo it it's Lou is back, obviously, because he's Wolfcop.
LeeBut yeah, his best mate is back, Amy, the other police officer is back.
LeeSo.
AdamTina.
LeeHuh?
AdamTina?
LeeYou could be right.
LeeWhen did I get Amy from?
LeeIt is Tina, you're quite right.
LeeI know it was a short name.
Lee
AdamOh, so will.
LeeYeah, the actress the actress name is Amy, that's probably it.
AdamOh, there we go then.
Adambut, oh, so Willy's back for the second for the second one as well.
LeeWilly's back for the second one as well.
LeeI can't remember how they work it.
ChrisOh, right.
LeeBut yeah, again it's.
AdamWell, 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
ChrisYes.
LeeWe did have.
LeeThis discussion, so I watched it and Lady Jennifer, who definitely was not going to watch this film.
LeeAnd I've always suggested it multiple times.
LeeShe's always said, no, absolutely not.
Leeyeah, sat all the way through it and actually really enjoyed it.
Leeand but yeah, that was her question at the end was when they were.
Leewhen the shapeshifters were changing.
Leeafterwards, 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?
LeeAnd I was like.
LeeI assumed they were playing those people.
LeeBecause of the three of the six characters played by the three shapeshifts.
LeeYou never saw them, you know, so the ones that were played by the same shapeshifter.
LeeYou never saw in the same place at the same time.
LeeSo it could be that each one of them was playing too.
LeeBut yeah.
LeeSo I can't remember enough, so I am looking forward to watching the second one.
LeeAnd reminding myself of yeah, just how they managed to get that character back again.
AdamI 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.
AdamYeah, it's not it's not going to be too of.
LeeI don't see anyone getting five minutes in and going, oh, right.
LeeSo so they've got one right, that's it.
LeeAnd just throwing the from the TV.
ChrisThat's the problem.
ChrisI'm out of here.
AdamYou know what, I cannot watch this film about a law enforcement werewolf.
AdamBecause it is it's jumped the shark at this point.
AdamYou know, that's.
AdamThat's that's very true.
AdamI think we've probably offend Saint Brown there.
Adam
AdamBut.
AdamBut I think that the
AdamYeah, because because that was the the one person I recognized because I I didn't.
AdamI didn't research it mostly, I mean mostly as a timing issue.
AdamBut also.
AdamI didn't want to sort of trip across anything and spoil any of the film or anything else like that.
Adamand so I I mean, I recognized I recognized the guy who was like the the chief, like the sheriff.
AdamYeah.
Adambecause he was he was a murderer in Hannibal.
AdamAnd I've seen him in a couple of other things.
AdamBut apparently he's English.
LeeOh, okay.
AdamBecause I had to because I had to look at I mean, I think he I think he's Canada based.
AdamBut yeah.
AdamActually then I have to explain why he's in Hannibal probably as well.
AdamBut.
AdamYou know, and there's lots of like US productions and stuff like that.
AdamBut 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.
AdamOkay.
AdamSo and then and then in my head, I'm like, I must have seen him in a British production.
AdamIt was like.
AdamNo, no, no, literally everything on this list is all, you know, it's all American stuff and things like that.
AdamSo.
AdamCuz he's in he's in History of Violence as well.
AdamBut I don't I mean, it's been years since I saw that film and it's been.
LeeOh yeah, I don't think I've seen that.
AdamBecause I think because the the other thing as well is I think there was weirdly enough, I think I was expecting it to be.
Adamslightly not slightly more 80s, if you see what I mean.
AdamYeah.
AdamIn that because I think as a concept, it's it's a very.
Adamas a concept, it sounds like a movie that the Simpsons would have created.
AdamYeah.
AdamDo you know what I mean?
AdamIt's like you like, you know, that's that's a film that they'd go and see Wolf cop.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd it would have been an action film with Rainer Wolf Castle and so on and so forth.
AdamAnd actually I did notice that because when it's the missing pets.
Adamthe list of missing pets at the start and you've got nipples the cat.
LeeI spotted that and laughed at that this time.
LeeYeah.
AdamBut there's there's one called McBain.
AdamYeah, right.
AdamAnd again, I was.
AdamMaybe.
AdamAnd 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.
AdamI think I'm developing terrible misophonia.
AdamAnd the idea of the heightened senses, sort of like it's like that and it's like, shit.
AdamIt's bad enough just with normal hearing.
LeeYeah.
Adamwhen 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.
AdamI thought that was really.
AdamAlthough I did find it a bit weird when his boss went to him, oh, you could have shaved and it's like.
AdamYou hadn't before, Eddie.
LeeYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamBut but yeah, it's sort of it's.
AdamYeah, I just think there was a lot of and I think, yeah, once once it once it embraced the daftness to its full extent.
AdamThen, yeah, so I'm assume I'm assuming that number two, the good thing is, is obviously you don't have to build.
ChrisYeah.
Adamthe premise, you can just go straight into it.
AdamGo straight in.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd 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.
AdamYou can spot in there and stuff like that.
AdamI mean even just the fact that he's Lou Garu.
ChrisYeah.
AdamYou know.
LeeYeah, 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.
LeeIt's definitely not scary in any way, shape or form, but it's really funny, the gore is excellent.
LeeThe 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.
AdamYeah.
Lee
LeeYeah, so I just and now I've watched it again for the first time in maybe a decade.
LeeI think this is going to become a more frequent return for me because, yeah, it's just it's really good.
LeeAnd it's a short film as well.
LeeYeah, 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.
LeeLike it's a nice short run time.
Leeand I think it's easily accessible.
LeeI think this is a great one for like a watch party.
ChrisYeah, I was thinking that definitely.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah.
LeeSo you can.
AdamNo, this is this is this is a definite one.
AdamBecause it's look, I mean, let's be fair, there there is a plot, but it's not like it's it's.
ChrisIt's not the most important part.
AdamNo, no, the most important thing is Wolf cop.
AdamYeah.
AdamYou know.
AdamThe concept's in the title, that's the that's the important bit and just the fact that.
ChrisI don't like that the title tells you what you're going to get.
ChrisThe film doesn't mess around, it gives you what you're expecting.
ChrisLike.
AdamYeah.
AdamAnd 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.
AdamThat's just sort of like.
AdamYeah, it's just sort of wonderfully done.
AdamI mean, we were saying, I mean, before we started recording, you know, we were saying, you know, what's the.
Adamis is there a is there a moral message here or is there a, you know, is there a deeper meaning?
AdamI mean, other than that, I mean, the message seems to be that
AdamYou can still be a good cop as long as you stick keep drinking.
ChrisYeah, I was going to say, that is.
AdamYeah.
AdamYou 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.
Adamis the fact that he's lethe all the time.
AdamYeah.
Leeyeah, and again, like you say, it is it is a film you can sum up very quickly.
LeeYou 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.
LeeAnd he just says to the to the guy who runs it, tell me again what happened?
LeeAnd he went, fucking big wolf.
LeeAnd that's it.
LeeThat's all you need to know.
AdamI mean, literally the title is the pitch.
LeeYeah.
AdamThe title is the pitch, the concept and the point.
AdamAnd that's that's that's that's very rare, you know.
LeeYeah, again, this is one of those if this was shown somewhere, you know, like Lumi or Prince Charles or horror.
LeeLike yeah, this would be a great one to watch with a big drunk crowd.
LeeI just think it's.
ChrisYeah, absolutely.
LeeSuch a even just sitting on the sofa watching it, it's a party atmosphere, it's just excellent.
Lee
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah, and as I say, the the sequel is basically a cross between this film and Strange Brew.
Leeif you've ever seen Strange Brew.
AdamNo.
LeeWell.
LeeYou you should, Rick Moranis, it I'm sure we've definitely discussed it before.
ChrisOh.
LeeThey used to do, so on SNL, it was him and another guy and they used to do a
Leelike a segment and basically the idea was they were two Canadian brothers who just drunk beer and liked hockey.
LeeAnd they just sat on their sofa doing a cable access show and slagging each other off and that was that was the whole thing.
LeeAnd then they gave him a film and Max Von Sidow was in it.
Lee
AdamOh right, okay.
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd basically they.
LeeThey 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.
LeeAnd I can't remember if they're people who are being controlled by a signal or something, or if they're robots.
LeeI can't remember which of the two it is, but that's the premise.
Leeyeah, and basically Wolf cop two is that plus Wolf cop.
LeeSo.
AdamOkay.
LeeYeah.
LeeSo I I can't wait to start that.
ChrisOh, signed me up.
LeeI mean.
LeeIt wasn't.
LeeFor 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
AdamI think Claire was disappointed when I because I said, oh, there is another Wolf cop, and she was like, oh, Wolf cop too.
AdamAnd I was like, no, the title is another Wolf cop.
AdamAnd she's like, oh, so is it a different Wolf cop?
AdamAnd it's like, no, no, no, it's just it's just that it's another film called Wolf cop.
AdamLike when they use mind you, it's it's quite good, it's like that I can't remember who it was.
AdamSomeone had a horse called another horse.
AdamSo that when it was the commentary on the horse racing it'd be like, and that's followed by another horse.
LeeYeah.
LeeYeah, it's great.
LeeAnd again, it's one of those I'm so glad that they managed to get a sequel because.
LeeI 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.
AdamOh right.
AdamOkay.
LeeSo yeah.
LeeSo 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?
AdamWell, I mean, I was going to say, I mean, we could certainly do there's the possibilities there.
AdamWe could do another Wolf cop.
Adambut also in the week, I was wondering.
LeeWe did.
AdamWe lost Tom Noonan.
LeeWe did.
LeeUnfortunately.
AdamAnd I was wondering if we should maybe do House of the Devil.
LeeOh, now that is a very good call.
AdamBecause I haven't seen that for a very long time now.
LeeNor have I.
AdamBut it's I you know, pretty damn good.
LeeYeah, and I think that'd be a fitting tribute.
LeeTalking of fitting tributes to Tom Noonan, funny enough.
Leethis weekend was the start of the Romford Horror Film Festival.
ChrisOh, yes, of course, yeah.
LeeAnd so I bought tickets back in January.
LeeBut yeah, so Jennifer and I last night with my brother and our friend Chris and.
AdamThat's not you, Chris.
ChrisNo.
LeeNo, it's a different Chris.
LeeYeah.
Lee
Leeand watched Monster Squad.
AdamOh, cool.
LeeWhich I'd never seen on the big screen.
LeeAnd 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.
LeeYeah, we were going to see Monster Squad.
LeeSo.
AdamYeah, 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.
AdamThey knew him in other things.
AdamBut yeah.
LeeHe's so heavily made up in it.
AdamYeah.
LeeI mean, he is he's Frankenstein, he's going to be but.
AdamYes.
AdamYeah, 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.
AdamIt'd be it's a bit of a fucking insult if you turn up playing Frankenstein.
AdamAnd they just go.
AdamYou're good as you are, mate.
LeeYeah.
AdamSo.
AdamSo I've I've been there and I've felt that pain.
AdamSo.
AdamYeah, you want you want to you want at least a couple of layers of latex if you're playing Frank.
LeeYeah, oh, House of the Devil.
Leeis yeah, I don't want to give anything away, but it was one of those.
LeeI 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.
Leedraw me in concept and the artwork and stuff.
LeeBut, oh, yeah, what an absolute.
Leeclassic out of nowhere.
AdamAnd it's Ti West, isn't it?
LeeIt is Ti West.
LeeYes.
AdamAnd because obviously we did the innkeeper in keepers.
LeeYes.
AdamQuite some time ago, didn't we?
AdamWhich was obviously that was his follow up to House of the Devil.
LeeYes.
AdamAnd.
Adamyeah, so no, I think we're definitely.
AdamI think was so what so you think House of the Devil then?
LeeYep.
Lee100%, I'm definitely up for that.
LeeAgain, another film.
LeeI saw it a couple of times when it first came out, I've got a habit of doing that.
LeeA 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.
AdamBut that's the thing is, is, you know, things roll on and stuff like that and if anything, I I hopefully, I think that.
Adamit offers a service sometimes because, you know, everyone knows that you're meant to watch Rosemary's Baby.
LeeYeah.
AdamBut sometimes, you know, if the film's been out for a few years, like like Bubba Hopp.
AdamThe number of people who were like, oh, you know, Christ, I haven't seen this for years.
Adamor sort of.
Adamyou know, people who didn't know it.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd 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.
Adamand has been, you know.
AdamThere's peaks and troughs.
AdamBut essentially, there's probably always been at least one fucking classic made every year.
LeeYeah, Oh yeah, something that.
Adamin one way or another.
Leethe beers rewatch it on a regular basis, definitely.
AdamExactly, yeah.
LeeExcellent.
LeeRight, okay then.
LeeSo to wrap up, thanks ever so much for listening everybody.
