210: The Howling (1981)

This week we unleash our inner werewolves by checking out The Howling (1981). We assess the quality of its practical effects, break down its approach to lycanthropy, and ponder the Venn diagram between werewolves and sex cults. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 22:36.
