Best of 2017/18 - #6 The Wolf Man (1941)
Back at the start of the original Dark Cinematic Universe, Universal Pictures released 1941's werewolf classic, The Wolf Man. It's short, a little rough on the social politics, and a well-deserved classic. The remake in today's Double Feature is 2010's The Wolfman, a movie starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Hugo Weaving, all of whom flounder in the presence of the only good acting on set: Emily Blunt. We've disliked some movies we've seen since we launched the podcast, but this might be the first one that got us to say both "I think I hate this movie" and "Anthony Hopkins should be ashamed of himself."
