B-side
In this week’s exclusive b-side, we sink our teeth into the rich mythology of werewolves, and explore the lore that shaped them as one of horror’s most iconic creatures.
From the cinematic legacy of Universal’s The Wolfman to the modern twists found in Twilight, Underworld, and Harry Potter, we discuss how werewolves have evolved across decades of pop culture.
We also debate the anatomy of werewolf transformations—two legs vs. four, classic vs. CGI—and unpack the timeless struggle of control vs. chaos that defines their monstrous appeal.
