Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack we get back in time to 1985 to revisit our TEEN years when we were hairy like the WOLF, smelly like the gym locker liverwurst and busy hiding in the family bathroom from dad while staring at this Comedy slash Monster slash Coming of Age classic now doing handstands on a Van driven by HBO Max Max. What’s that? Can you come in? Uh… no dad… uhh… not this time… uhhh not this … (in the tune of: Win in the End) “There is a wiener at the end. We saw a guy’s wiener at the end” Hey, did I guess it Ibbott?

Anywho, Listen Kid, “There are three rules that I live by: never steal Randy’s 3 rules joke (oops); never accurately guess Ibbott’s Intro Song (not even once) ; and never ever get in a closet with Scott Johnson for a make out session when they call your name. Now you stick to that, and everything else is whipped cream floor wrestling.”

Randy, More sensual darling… we want to be able to smell you. Yuck… now I feel gross.

BRIEF

When high school nerd Scott Howard (Michael J. Fox) learns from his father, Harold (James Hampton), that being a werewolf runs in the family, he decides to take advantage of his freakish trait. With his newfound strength and agility, Scott quickly becomes the hero of his school’s basketball team while winning over longtime crush Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin). As he grows more popular, Scott worries he is being celebrated as a novelty rather than for who he is.
