Yellowjackets.

Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Elijah Wood. Final season is out soon.

And...... good for them for pulling the plug. S1, very good. S2, close to brilliant. S3, increasingly shaky and then straight off the cliff by the end.    One more season and there would be no one left to root for anyway.

Finished "Cobra Kai" a while back. I enjoyed it, but I have to confess every season got a little worse until the final one was fairly ridiculous.

The "swing" (to appropriate a term from real estate) on this show was huuuge. Sometimes it was highly self-aware, smart, and funny - other times lowbrow as hell. I did enjoy almost the entire ensemble cast - particularly William Zabka, who made Johnny incredibly relatable as an adult in spite of him being such a turd as a teenager. The Magneto/Prof. X dynamic between him and Ralph Macchio as Daniel kept me coming back until the very end.

The Howling (1981) - One of those big classics I just never got around to seeing. It kind of reminded me of Altered States in that it's from the early 80's but there is still a heavy whiff of 60's and 70's going on (and also that there are people transforming into hairy beasts). In this case, the wolfy people are "The Lottery" type small town weirdies with a touch of menacing swinger energy. A reporter with the worst luck on Earth first gets stalked by a porn loving serial killer, then, for a nice vacation, meets the above people and has to deal with all that. Director Joe Dante the did the Gremlins soon after this, so you can bet there are some creature-y special effects on the menu.

Great ending. Glad I finally saw this thing, but I'm not sure about the umpteen sequels.

4.5 / 5

Lester, the fourth sequel HOWLING 4 THE ORIGINAL NIGHTMARE (1988) was filmed here on about a 5 and a half cent budget.

It is.......OK, no more than that. The best things about it are the werewolf melting sequence, the final shot of the film and the theme song sung by Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. ☺️

It's on YouTube AFAIK. 😊🐢

I had this on cassette when it came out. Didn't realize how much I missed it!

Underground is a great song and sounded different to everything else on daytime radio, at the time

remember liking another single too...cannot remember if I checked the whole album

According to Google, "Where's Summer B.?" was a charting single in the UK, which seems strange to me because it wasn't a single here and I think it's one of the albums weaker tracks. I think the other minor hits here besides "Underground" were "Philosophy" and "Jackson Cannery." Now, I think my favorite might be "Alice Childress." I had forgotten the song, yet I immediately was able to hum along with the melody 25 years later.
