We are slowly carving out our niche as a silly, chatty podcast where we laugh at all the cozy horror movies we love, while also finding ourselves unable to avoid social commentary – because, at the end of the day, we are #anxiousmillennials through and through. Our discussion on The Lost Boys really goes places, but most of all, it celebrates what is, quite possibly, the most fun vampire movie of all time. Do you agree?

Welcome to our final monster-themed episode: the true and absolutely WILDIN’ story of the Estonia Werewolf Trials. While some of the world was panicking about witches, Estonia decided it wanted to be cool before it was cool, and chose to panic about a whole other beast: werewolves. And the most fun part? One of the locals, a legend known as Old Thiess, was like, yeah, I AM a werewolf. Old Thiess, if you can hear us: you rock. See you on the other side!
