Bei einem Ausflug in die Wälder läuft den Hendersons ausgerechnet der legendäre Bigfoot vors Auto. George, Nancy sowie die Kinder Sarah und Ernie glauben, den zotteligen Riesen getötet zu haben, und nehmen ihn heimlich mit nach Hause. Als Bigfoot dort allerdings wieder erwacht, stellt er das Haus komplett auf den Kopf. Zunächst herrscht Panik, ehe die Hendersons das gutmütige Wesen ihres haarigen neuen Mitbewohners „Harry“ erkennen. Als ihnen aber neben den Nachbarn auch die Presse und ein Bigfoot-Jäger auf die Schliche kommen, beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, um das vermeintliche Monster wieder in Sicherheit zu bringen… (Mediabook Turbine Medien)

Released in 1981, "An American Werewolf in London" remains a timeless horror classic that combines elements of comedy, romance, and intense gore to deliver a unique and memorable cinematic experience. Directed by John Landis and featuring ground breaking special effects by Rick Baker, this film revolutionized the werewolf genre and set a new standard for horror-comedy. With its compelling storyline, impressive performances, and stunning practical effects, "An American Werewolf in London" continues to captivate audiences even over four decades after its initial release.

The film follows the story of two American backpackers, David Kessler (played by David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (played by Griffin Dunne), who are attacked by a werewolf while wandering the moors of England. David survives the attack but soon realizes that he has become cursed with the werewolf's curse. As his condition worsens, David's life spirals into chaos, as he struggles with his newfound identity and the terrifying consequences of his transformation.

What sets "An American Werewolf in London" apart is its unique blend of horror and humor. The film deftly balances moments of gut-wrenching terror with lighthearted comedic relief, creating a rollercoaster of emotions for the audience. The witty banter between David and the ghost of Jack, who frequently appears as a decaying corpse, provides dark humour amidst the gripping horror narrative.

The performances in "An American Werewolf in London" are exceptional, particularly from David Naughton and Griffin Dunne. Naughton brings a compelling vulnerability to his role as David, effectively conveying his fear, confusion, and eventual acceptance of his monstrous nature. Dunne's portrayal of Jack as a decomposing, wisecracking spectre adds a surreal and macabre touch to the film. Their on-screen chemistry is engaging and authentic, making their friendship and the subsequent tragedy all the more impactful.

John Landis's direction showcases his ability to balance horror and comedy while maintaining a consistent tone throughout the film. He expertly builds tension in the atmospheric scenes set in the eerie moors and the dimly lit London streets. The film's pacing is excellent, with Landis masterfully alternating between moments of dread and comic relief.

One of the standout aspects of "An American Werewolf in London" is its ground breaking special effects, created by the legendary Rick Baker. The transformation scene, in which David painfully morphs into a werewolf, remains one of the most iconic and realistic sequences in horror cinema. The practical effects, achieved without the aid of CGI, are still astonishing by today's standards. Baker's attention to detail in capturing the visceral and gruesome nature of the transformation is unparalleled, leaving audiences both mesmerized and repulsed.

"An American Werewolf in London" is a timeless masterpiece that successfully blends horror, comedy, and romance to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. John Landis's direction, coupled with outstanding performances from David Naughton and Griffin Dunne, elevates the film beyond typical genre fare. The remarkable practical effects by Rick Baker remain a benchmark in the industry, showcasing his mastery in creating visceral and realistic horror. With its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and a perfect balance between terror and humor, "An American Werewolf in London" remains an essential watch for horror enthusiasts and lovers of classic cinema alike.

Dave and Ethan interview Camilla Henneman, the visual effects artist who built the iconic fat suit from Weird Al's "Fat" music video. Camilla's astounding career didn't stop at working with Weird Al, she also built the Slimer and Nunzio Scoleri suits from Ghostbusters II, Meat Loaf's suit from Fight Club, as well as monster and gorilla suits for such movies as George of the Jungle, Harry and the Hendersons, Gorillas in the Mist, and Cocoon. Amazingly, Camilla also worked on the makeup and appeared as a zombie in Michael Jackson's legendary "Thriller" video!

It’s very possibly one of the fundamental laws of physics that all ventriloquist dummies must turn the creep factor up to 11, but Fats takes it to a whole new level in Magic (1978). In a new episode of Spooky Tuesday, Doll Month continues as we finally explore one of life’s greatest mysteries: Was Anthony Hopkins ever a young person? His age in this movie may be solidly in the middle, but his performance is off the charts.

Remember the Alamo! This week we discuss werewolves, practical effects landmark moments, and the time that John Landis killed those kids as we peel apart An American Werewolf in London.

“Holy crap, this is insane. I can build something and stuff this AI inside of it, and suddenly it's not a puppet, it's not a prop. It's a real robot.” 

Take a step behind the scenes of some of Hollywood’s most epic movies with make-up effects artist Will Huff.

Jon and Bryan are blown away by his crazy work ethic and forward-momentum into the world of artificial intelligence. Will gives anyone he meets new respect for passionately pursuing a hobby.

(2:37) From a small town in Ohio, a lifelong passion begins to take root…

(6:49) A correspondence course with Dick Smith opens up a world of opportunity…

(8:58) Babylon Five, the union, and an avalanche of films…

(11:47) Specialization in make-up effects…

(13:04) “I knew immediately I had this affinity for, taking rubber things and making them move and look like something that's alive. And that's called animatronics.” Will talks about how he crossed over into robotics.

(15:34) How CGI changed the landscape…

(20:20) Taking advantage of the down-time from a back injury to learn a new skillset…

(23:44) “We're going back old school. We're going to get real physical puppets.” There’s a resurgence of doing things the way it was done before CGI in some genres.

(25:10) A day in the life of a make-up effects artist, on the set of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”...

(31:42) Trying to understand the incredible work ethic…

(34:22) “... it’s like a velvet-lined coffin… we're selling our souls and we're killing ourselves with these hours, but the velvet is the paycheck and that's just a great, wonderful by-product…”

(36:51) Introduction to building a functional robot through the “Lost in Space” B9 robot.. And artificial intelligence comes on the scene…

(40:12) “Holy crap. We could have robots walking around and doing stuff for us.”

(41:13) The problem with the “uncanny valley”...

(45:39) What’s holding back consumer robots?

(50:24) “What story are we telling ourselves?” Jon talks about changing the narrative.

(55:27) “I believe so wholeheartedly in the good parts of robotics… we had so many people at CES talk about the elderly and lonely people and just having somebody to talk to…”

(59:06) The sky’s the limit… even in your backyard.

(1:01:20) What does Go Be More mean to you?

Death to Videodrome. Long live the new flesh!
Well if there's one thing Videodrome the movie hasn't done since 1983 that's die. In fact, this movie might be even more relevant now than ever, and Ryan and Ty attempt to break down what it says about technology, how it affects our minds, and over-stimulation. Oh and don't forget about the stellar practical effects. Contact us at rollitpodcast@gmail.com or follow us!

It’s Mystery Date time! Without dropping too many spoilers, each member of the Cinemondo gang brings up a film the other 2 may not know about. It’s a mystery! This time we look into some impressive early special effects makeup work from Oscar winner Rick Baker (in a film that might not be very special itself), THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN;  a documentary about the early stages of making of a beloved sci-fi horror film; MEMORY: ORIGINS OF ALIEN and a unique hybrid genre film that has elements of drama mixed with super heroes and sci-fi, FAST COLORS.  What makes us think these three movies are worth discussing?

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains MAJOR SPOILERS which means important story details will be revealed. We always advise listeners to: Watch First Listen Later.
