Episode 1
Friday, 24 January, 2025
Send us a textChristian and Devin usher in 2025 with their first film review of the year. Tune in as they delve into Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man.From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they're attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE:Start / Housekeeping (00:18)Wolf Man Spoiler Free Breakdown (07:03)Final Thoughts and Ratings (22:40)Coming Up Next / Closing (26:27)Support the showContact Film Optix Rate and Review us on Apple Podcast and Spotify on your podcast platform of choice!
