Scott's werewolf makeup is surprisingly good for the budget.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:44 pm**

Dad just Spider-Manned this shit.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:45 pm**

Not trying to explain the werewolf backstory too much was a good decision.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:46 pm**

Pam completely blows Scott off at the party and talks to him for no reason in the hall. Bitches be crazy.

Teacher is decent.

e: Also she said "suckled"

I was gonna say something similar. Definitely a Nebraska 9.99 for a HS teacher.

Genuinely good physical acting in the hallway there.

Honestly never noticed this before, but I might not be able to unhear it now.

I don't think there's any way Stiles wasn't cribbed liberally from Vic Damone in "Fast Times"

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:51 pm**

After a five-second adjustment period, the people of this town are very blase about werewolves.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:52 pm**

Stiles actually calls him "TW" just 30 seconds after learning Scott's secret.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:52 pm**

This one-on-one game with Boof and Scott's dad is impossibly sweet. I adore it.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:53 pm**

OK, pause point is after this walk that Scott and Boof take. Also, I love this acting from Hampton here after making this shot. A pro's pro.

Dad is just like, "come on, she's dying for it."

Is this sidewalk at the junction of two tectonic plates?

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:55 pm**

Scott gives the look back, but.... nothing.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:56 pm**

OK, we're paused at the start of the Beavers v. Cadets matchup. We'll start again at 10:05 if that's enough time for everyone.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:56 pm**

I feel like the second half of this movie is a lot shittier than the first half. There's probably a much better movie in here somewhere.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:57 pm**

Bill Simmons would do a jag about how every guy would take Pamela over Boof and the movie is being dishonest. Which might hurt brian's opinion of him.

I didn't realize that. I used to really like Simmons back when he was on Digital Cities Boston. Which I guess a lot of people were, but if he ever did that bit there I don't remember it (or missed the warning signs).

Don't worry, Amin's theory about how this movie is very racist kicks in real soon; I haven't been sandbagging it.

This might be a good time to mention that whatever adidas paid to get the rights to have their logos on these uniforms, they must have made that investment back 1,000 times over.

For whatever it's worth, it can't be any worse than the basketball scene in Soul Man.

Two minute warning. Think it's just the three of us, so 10:05 ET

I was wondering if these Adidas uniforms are the biggest sporting goods advertiser we've seen yet. Considering we've done a few sports movies, I think they might be.

Just wait.

OK we're back.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:05 pm**

Why is Pam at this game?

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:06 pm**

And why is Scot shooting a 1-and-1 two seconds into the game? Or was that an intentional foul?

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:06 pm**

They just do NOT call jump balls.

That was two shots. He missed the first one. But yeah, not a shooting foul.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:08 pm**

Totally not allowed to slide with the ball.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:09 pm**

Okay.

So, Amin's primary theory is this movie is the white man's fetishization of being a black man. Scott transforms into "a black man" and suddenly becomes an amazing basketball player with all the "fancy" play that goes with it - dunks, behind the back passes, all the style over substance.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:09 pm**

Not that it's great art, but I love the decision to just stay with silence and let everyone's WTF reactions breathe after he turns into the wolf. I could see a modern movie overproducing that.

And, suddenly, he's super-popular and all these white women are throwing themselves at him. Pam sits next to him in the booth while another girl's hand is suggestively rubbing his chest.

Got The Beach Boys but couldn’t afford Randy Newman

Yeah, I get the critique though Scott/TW's actual play includes some definitely goofy shit that no one would be caught dead pulling at Rucker Park. I need to see some more of this montage though.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:11 pm**

Scott is completely buying into being a jock now, wearing his lettermen's jacket while he never did before.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:12 pm**

OK, the one other black dude at the school breakdancing with him sold your point.

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:12 pm**

Amin continues - Scott breakdances and everyone loves it.
