Welcome to a special series of Popcorn and Compliance. In this series, we will be looking at the Classic Universal Monster Movies from the 30s and 40s and mining them for compliance lessons. (Yes, it really is an excuse to rewatch them all.) In this series, we will look at Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, and end with The Invisible Man. In this episode, Tom explores critical compliance insights drawn from Lon Chaney Jr.’s portrayal of The Wolf Man.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into my favorite Classic Universal Monster, The Wolf Man, to unpack five critical lessons, including the danger of ignoring warnings, the importance of timely intervention, and the challenges of recognizing risks in ordinary people under extraordinary circumstances. Listeners are encouraged to consider how these timeless themes apply to modern corporate compliance, emphasizing proactive measures to prevent potential catastrophes. Join Tom, along with AI hosts Fiona and Timothy, for a surprisingly relevant exploration of compliance through the eerie lens of Hollywood’s iconic monster movies.
