Thank you for joining us on Directors Uncut as we dip into the work of John Landis for the second time. Not many Max Landis jabs this time. Joined by a returning Gav (My Favourite Film) & Andy (Road to Knowhere), we talk about one of the most beloved of all werewolf movies, 1981’s An American Werewolf in London and 1983s Eddie Murphy’s star-making Trading Places. Along the way, we also talk about Werewolf’s status as a comedy horror, that iconic transformation scene, and how badly some aspects of 1980s comedy have dated. Which, in case you’ve forgotten, is really bad.
