Listen "An American Werewolf in London"
Episode Synopsis
Day 19 – Episode 169: An American Werewolf in London (1981)On Day 19 of The Conner & Smith Show’s 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I head across the pond to revisit An American Werewolf in London (1981) — John Landis’s genre-blending masterpiece that’s equal parts horror, comedy, and tragedy. This film not only redefined transformation effects (earning Rick Baker the very first Academy Award for Best Makeup), but it also became a personal “gay gateway” for me — with its dark humor, male vulnerability, and the unforgettable charm and body of David Naughton. We talk about how Landis’s tonal tightrope still works today, why the movie’s blend of wit and carnage feels so unique, and how that haunting ending still hits like a punch to the gut.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:👉 https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan
