Welcome to the Horror Project Podcast. Join hosts Phil and Laura as they review The Wolf Man (1941).

This week we step back 80-years, to check out Universal Studio's ultimate hairy dog-boy! We discuss all things werewolf, the look of Larry Talbot's alter-ego, plus his questionable use of a telescope. 

But does a film of this vintage, still have the power to entertain today?

Plus we shall be finding a place on the leaderboard for the movie during our Ranking. We also reveal some fun trivia facts along the way.

We hope you enjoy the show, thanks for listening!

Mark will always have overanalysis as he tries to figure out what makes Casablanca the definitive classic, why its final act twist feels so satisfying, and how any woman would be more interested in Rick than in the incredible Victor Laszlo.

Bela Lugosi bits Lon Chaney, Jr. and thus passes down the curse of the werewolf! Ashley, Matt and Aaron discuss this 1941 Universal monster classic in our penultimate 31 Days of Halloween episode.

We're in like Flynn on this week's episode of the Force Material podcast, as we explore how The Adventures of Robin Hood has influenced Star Wars!

With yet another telling of the Robin Hood legend in theatres, we decided to venture into Sherwood Forest to revisit the classic 1938 version, starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Claude Rains and Basil Rathbone!

First up, we talk about all the Star Wars news that's gone down since our last episode, including Mark Hamill's wild Boba Fett theory (01:25), the announcement of the Cassian Andor TV series (04:49), the casting of Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian (08:39), and the latest Galaxy's Edge developments (10:21)!

Then it's onto our feature presentation (16:35), as George Lucas discusses the influence of Errol Flynn's swashbuckling films on Star Wars (32:51), and we explore the influence of The Adventures of Robin Hood on Ben Burtt (36:41) and the influence of Olivia de Havilland's Maid Marion on Princess Leia (38:07).

We look at the truth behind the Robin Hood legend (45:43), the time Errol Flynn fought Count Dooku (52:16), the immense influence of composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold on John Williams (53:43), the link between Errol Flynn and Darth Vader (57:37) and the time Star Wars literally became Robin Hood - in miniature (01:00:12). 

Finally, we take a brief look at Disney's live-action Robin Hood movie, directed by a man with a very interesting name (01:03:01), and we ask the question - does the world need yet another Robin Hood movie (01:10:11)?
