In this week's episode, we're talking farms and sheeps and the great outback with the 2006 New Zealand horror comedy "Black Sheep," not to be confused with the extremely popular American 1996 non-horror comedy of the same name. Special topics for  your consideration include: environmental activist conspiracy theories, farm talk from two people who know next to nothing about farming, the absolute joy that comes from watching a sheep drive a truck, the fact that the plural of 'sheep' is ABSOLUTELY 'sheeps' and an extremely special musical number at the end of the episode-- stick around for it! Into horror films from New Zealand? May we recommend Episode 78- "Housebound" and Episode 195- "What We Do in the Shadows," both of which were movies that we absolutely loved?

In this week's very special episode, we are returning to a film we covered early in our podcasting career- the 1985 horror comedy "Return of the Living Dead." Special topics for your consideration include: revisiting old jokes and writing better new jokes, the national treasure that is Linnea Quigley, the national weirdo that is Glenn Danzig, extremely bleak things in an extremely comedic film, the return of Clu Gulager and movie punks, of course we're talking about movie punks.  If you missed our original "Return of the Living Dead" episode, it sounds like it's not worth revisiting. If you must, it's Episode 17. Want more Linnea Quigley? You could check out Episode 9- "Silent Night, Deadly Night" (which we feel may actually be our worst episode ever), Episodes 192- "Night of the Demon" and Episode 265- "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama."  Thanks to everyone who wrote in with their impressions of this film, we really loved reading all of your thoughts.  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/wer

In this week's episode, we're getting back into the folk horror genre with the 2018 film "Apostle," a Netflix production. Special topics for your consideration include: a dirty and glowering Dan Stevens, cult recruitment tactics, using a standard-issue receptacle incorrectly, blaming god for literally everything, and the fact that folk horror is always going to be compared to "The Wicker Man." If you are into "The Wicker Man," please listen to Episode 108 (the Nic Cage remake) and Episode 271 (the original). Want to check out some other folk/pastoral horror? We did a whole month of it in March 2020: Episode 270- "Midsommar," Episode 272- "Village of the Damned" and Episode 273- "Black Death," an incredibly poorly timed saga into a plague because we are utter dumdums. We also discussed "The Village" in Episode 169.

In this week's episode and in honor of Pride Month, we're discussing what the internet described as "the gayest horror movie of all time." It's the second entry into the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise, "Freddy's Revenge." Special topics for your consideration include: wanting to be good allies but also being mad at corporations, the concept of subtext (say it with me now, SUB-TEXT), generalized confusion about Freddy (is he a demon? a ghost? just a pest? Was he ever a school janitor? Is he both in dreams and the real world? Is it okay to just call him Fred?) and the power of love. Are you a fan of this franchise? Episode 4 covers the original, but you may also like the 4th film, Episode 121- "Dream Child," and the 3rd film, Episode 242- "Dream Warriors." Why cover a franchise in chronological order when you can do it this way and feign outrage about not understanding anything?  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or

In this week's episode, we discover that a crappy book is likely to make a crappy movie with the 2008 adaptation "The Ruins." Special topics for your consideration include: a running theme of terrible doctors named Jeff, our inability to keep a running pun throughout an episode (but also, some pretty siiiick plant-related puns), secretly wishing for vines to grow under one's skin, never wanting to travel with an Amy, and the worst choices. Just...just the worst choices. Sometimes the outdoors is the worst bad guy of all. If you agree, you might also enjoy such episodes as Episode 12- "The Happening," Episode 152- "Anaconda," Episode 168- "Arachnophobia," Episode 193- "Orca" and Episode 238- "Frogs."  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or those you love at www.teepublic.com/user/werewolfambulance on Reddit at r/werewolfambulance on Facebook at facebook.com/werewolfambulance on Twitter @werebulance on Instagram @werewolfa

In this week's episode, we tackle perhaps our most boob-heavy film of all time: the 1990 Frank Henenlotter horror/comedy/exploitation film "Frankenhooker." Special topics for your consideration include: an extremely loose interpretation of Mary Shelley, a substantial amount of science mumbling, the beauty that is "Basket Case," misremembering films of your youth, delightful puppetry and Zombie Teddy Ruxpin vs. Zombie Skippy Scribbles. This movie feels like a bit of a mashup of several other films we've discussed: Episode 29- "Re-Animator," Episode 199- "Terrorvision," and "Basket Case," which was our guest appearance on the excellent podcast Neon Brainiacs. It's their Episode 52 and you can hear it at https://neonbrainiacs.libsyn.com/53-basket-case-1982 or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Well, is this the scarecrow film we've been waiting for? I'm actually not sure and for that, I apologize. Regardless, we're talking about it! This week's movie is the 2010 film "Husk." Special topics for your consideration include: knowing basically everything you know about corn from "Field of Dreams," burlap: a terrifying fabric, wishing for the death of Baby & Baby, odd crow behavior and confusing dream sequences.  Did you miss our first attempt at a scarecrow movie? It's Episode 237- "Scarecrow." Just...just really into corn? How about Episode 59- "Children of the Corn"?

This week, Ed & Lorraine Warren are back on their bullshit and frankly, we are not having it. Furthermore, how does this movie have 80% on Rotten Tomatoes? It's madness. Speaking of madness, special topics for your consideration include: ghosts who enjoy the work of Margaret Thatcher, ghosts who can tell riddles that the demons who inhabit them cannot hear, making a movie that is basically a greatest hits of your other movies (not that we do the best job remembering the other movies but please recall that being fun is better than knowing things), and the ultimate embarrassment: doing a sincere Elvis impersonation in front of other human beings.  If you want to hear our episode on "The Conjuring," it's number 96. If you'd like to delve more deeply into the Wan-iverse, check out Episode 81- "Saw" and Episode 303- "Insidious." I also just realized that I have attributed the "Paranormal Activity" films to Mr. Wan in previous episode notes, and while I regret that error, please see above re: being fun and know

You know, we often say that a movie has everything, but truly the 1989 sci-fi creature (?) film "Leviathan" does. You've got Daniel Stern, Ernie Hudson, Mulder's girlfriend from season 2 of "The X-Files," Robocop, sorta fish people, questionable bathroom practices, a lot of picking and choosing from movies that are actually very good, and the evil inherent in capitalism. What more could you want?  Maybe you want more Daniel Stern? Go listen to Episode 253- "C.H.U.D." More Ernie Hudson? You'll want Episode 214- "Congo" featuring our excellent and hilarious friend Elaina.  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or those you love at www.teepublic.com/user/werewolfambulance on Reddit at r/werewolfambulance on Facebook at facebook.com/werewolfambulance on Twitter @werebulance on Instagram @werewolfambulance. werewolfambulance@gmail.com If you liked this, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen!

In this week's episode, we decided to take a suggestion from listener/Apple Podcasts reviewer* karlyAB and watch the 2012 film "John Dies at the End." Special topics for your consideration include: drugs, whether drugs enhance this film (possibly?), whether Allen is currently on drugs (he is not), the further misadventures of our 19 & 9 best friendship, having a hard time recalling plot points despite many exposures to them, and Paul Giamatti: is he a meatball, or no? *you can most likely persuade us to cover a movie of your choice with a favorable review I'M JUST SAYING. Like Don Coscarelli? We've covered "Phantasm" (Episode 67) and "Phantasm II" (Episode 314) Like Paul Giamatti? I don't know, watch the "John Adams" miniseries. It was pretty good, even if it was hard to forget sometimes that it was Paul Giamatti.  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or those you love at www.teepublic.com/user/werewolfambulance on Re

This week's episode is the second in our 2007 "Grindhouse" series-- the Quentin Tarantino-written and directed film "Deathproof." Special topics for your consideration include: amazing stunts! butts! obscure references! Quentin Tarantino's childhood! butts! unwanted foot touching! BUTTS! and of course, an ode to our boyfriend and quite frankly your boyfriend as well, Kurt Russell. What a guy. Last week (Episode 329- "Planet Terror") was the first half of "Grindhouse" in case you missed it. Since Tarantino does have great taste in film, I looked up a list of his top 10 favorite horror movies and we'd covered some: Episode 194- "Santa Sangre," Episode 305- "My Bloody Valentine" and for some reason, Episode 289= "Crawl" (but why?)

In this week's episode, we're jumping into the first half of the 2007 "Grindhouse" double feature- the Robert Rodriguez entry "Planet Terror," or as it's more commonly known, "The Machine Gun Leg One." Special topics for your consideration include: machine gun legs obvs, the concept of being a 90s human, feeling an intimate emotional connection with Robert Rodriguez, the utter gooeyness of this film and a weird amount of knowledge with regard to The Black-Eyed Peas. Want more Robert Rodriguez? You could check out Episode 87- "The Faculty" and Episode 210- "From Dusk til Dawn." More Rose McGowan? She's in Episode 44- "Scream" and Episode 298- "Jawbreaker." More Freddy Rodriguez? He's in Episode 269- "Can't Hardly Wait" and I'm sorry, I legitimately can't stop myself from talking about that movie. It's a like late-stage pandemic brain disorder.  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or those you love at www.teepublic.com/use

This week we're taking a little break. Rather than record a new episode, we sat on our porch studio and ate ice cream cake instead and frankly, we needed it. We're not leaving you with nothing though! We hope you enjoy this episode that was previously available only to our Patróns on our action movie podcast: the absolutely batshit film "Face/Off." We'll catch up with you next week when we discuss the first half of a double feature which will encompass our next two episodes-- "Planet Terror" of "Grindhouse." Have a good week, EMTs!

In this week's episode, we're on the front porch on a lovely but windy Pittsburgh evening discussing what is perhaps the worst-named sequel in the history of film franchises- "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." Special topics for your consideration include" potential title re-writes (like perhaps "I Have Not Forgotten What You Did Two Summers Ago At This Point"), a running game of "do you recognize that guy?", the best thing about this movie (Brandy obvs), a twist that NO ONE COULD HAVE SEEN COMING, and some bad advice on what to do if you're being attacked. Seriously, remember that our motto is 'being fun is better than knowing things' and as a result, we'd just recommend self-defense classes.  Did you miss "I Know What You Did Last Summer?" You can be forgiven, it's Episode 8 and god help me I defended it. You can also catch J.Lo.Hew in Episode 269- "Can't Hardly Wait" and you can see Jeffrey Combs in another early episode of ours: Episode 29- "Re-Animator." Also, we love you guys. You've really been m

In this week's episode, we're discussing the extremely creepy religious/supernatural horror thriller "The Vigil." Special topics for your consideration include: the scare dragon, a series of porch interruptions, horror movie tropes used to perfect effect, BLUMHOUSE! and a couple of gentiles trying not to say anything incorrect about Jewish culture.  We have done so many horror movies with a religious twist. For the good, try Episode 45- "Rosemary's Baby," Episode 73- "The Witch," Episode 77- "The Omen," Episode 155- "The Exorcist" or Episode 270- "Midsommar." For the bad, try Episode 58- "The Prophecy" or Episode 216- "The Devil Within Her." You probably won't regret any of them.

*airhorn sound* WE'RE BACK ON THE PORCH!!! *airhorn sound* In this week's episode, we're reunited in person for the first time in ~5 months and the result is one of our most joyful episodes in a long time. We're discussing the 1982 Wes Craven-directed DC Comics horror film "Swamp Thing." Special topics for your consideration include: inexplicable love interests, weird sibling relationships, some potential marketing options for Bud Light, being both a badass and ill-prepared for the swamp, human ~*~essence~*~ and a perm that just won't quit. Cravin' some Craven? (I hate myself): Episode 4- "A Nightmare on Elm Street," Episode 44- "Scream," Episode 138- "The People Under the Stairs," Episode 228- "Scream 4," and Episode 278- "Scream 3." Truly the elephant in this room is "Scream 2," huh? If you've been on the fence about supporting us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance, we're releasing an episode about the film "Blood Sport" on our action movie podcast this week!

In this week's episode, we're talking about cops who delegate, spooky black gloves, uncomfortable-looking night clothes, stolen passports, a murderer who loves cackling, red herrings, confusing characters with even more confusing motivations and utterly beautiful scenery. Must be an Argento film! We're discussing Dario's distinctive directorial debut (sorry for the alliteration but I literally could not help myself) "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage." Want to get in on some other Argento films?  If you listen to Episode 23- "Suspiria," Episode 84- "Demons," Episode 185- "Deep Red" and Episode 306- "Tenebrae" in order, you'll get to experience Katie's quest to understand and appreciate Argento (spoilers: it actually happens!!)

Don't think it, don't say it, and frankly don't watch it. This might be the film that finally broke us-- it's the 2017 supernatural and inexplicable horror film "The Bye Bye Man." Special topics for your consideration include: things Carrie Ann Moss would rather be doing, things girls love (ransom note poetry, mostly), tiny doors, bad ideas, confusing nightstands and the ultimate challenge (paying any type of sustained attention to this film).  Here is a list of previous episodes and you can guess what they have in common! Episode 74- "Pay the Ghost," Episode 96- "The Conjuring," Episode 134- "#Horror" and Episode 181- "Tusk." (answer: films of the 2010s that we really hated!)

In this week's episode, we're discussing a movie that's even newer than last week's episode! It is also much, much sillier. We're talking about the 2020 horror comedy film "Psycho Goreman." Special topics for your consideration include: a deep and abiding knowledge of "Encino Man," child acting that makes you kind of uncomfortable, an absolutely insane rundown of the villains of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," hyperspecific nerd references and the neeerrrds that love them and LET'S GO BUCS! This movie reminded us a lot of several other movies we've discussed: check out Episode 38- "The Gate," Episode 147- "Critters" and Episode 199- "Terrorvision" (aka THE LIVE SHOW). Weirdly, all three of those films are also from the 1986-87 corridor in which Allen's brain loves to live.  Find us online: Support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and get bonus episodes about action movies Buy merch for yourself or those you love at www.teepublic.com/user/werewolfambulance on Reddit at r/werewolfambulance on Facebook at fac

In this week's episode, we're shedding the burdens of the terrible movies we've been discussing lately with the 2020 horror comedy "Freaky." Special topics for your consideration include: the "She's All That" problem, what Vince Vaughn brings to the table, a high batting average for jokes, the subversion of horror tropes and what might happen if we were to body swap. You like Double-V? You may enjoy Episode 133- "The Cell." Want to check out some other Christopher Landon films? We'd recommend Episode 293- "Happy Death Day" and Episode 296- "Paranormal Activity 3."
