WEREWOLVES WITHIN MOVIE REVIEW

Sam Richardson (“Veep”) plays Finn, an amiable, always ‘up’, brand new forest ranger to the tiny mountain town of Beaverton. He has NO idea what he’s in for. Sure, the local postal worker Cecily (Milana Vayntrub) is super-sweet and definitely is sending him some signals, but everyone else seems a leeeeeetle bonkers and is ready to kill each other over a proposed gas pipeline that would mean a big payday to several folks, but not everyone is willing to sign off on it. And I mean, READY TO KILL EACH OTHER over it. Oh yeah, and there’s a huge storm, the power goes out, and apparently there’s a werewolf running around slaughtering people. Maybe. Well, SOMETHING is slaughtering people. This horror-comedy from director Josh Ruber (“Scare Me”) is a true ensemble piece with an enormously talented comedic cast, and a clever premise. But does it deliver the goods? Chris, TC, Ben, and Tessa give their takes on it and seriously, we apologize for all the werewolf puns.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.
