Episode 338: 'Werewolf in a Women's Prison' (2006)/ 'Drop' (2017)

We start with a look at this weekend's box office. We start with the power of anime, before moving on to the Warrens. But the main topic is Stephen King. The renowned author is no stranger to box office flops. So why is everyone blaming the performance of The Long Walk recent comments he made. It is not like he has every been quiet about his political views? Also, who is responsible for more Insidious sequels?

We have some some crazy things on our humble little podcast. There have been plenty of films that have given zero fucks about who they offend and what lines they cross. But we have never seen anything like 2006's Werewolf in a Women's Prison. For those thinking the title is a metaphor for a much deeper story, you will be disappointed. This is very much a case of what you see is what you get.

And what you see is a lot of naked women. How much? For the first time, it was enough for one of us to say it was too much. Not on any moral grounds; it was just more bare breasts than a person wants to see in one movie. Between all the bare flesh, there are some awesome kills, questionable music choices, a werewolf that is simultaneously cool and awful looking, and Patton Oswalt's wife.

It has been a rough year for Blumhouse. It once seemed like they could release anything and people would go see it. This year has been one box office failure after another, including this week's feature presentation, Drop. The premise is a neat one. A woman on a blind date starts receiving mysterious air drops that command her to do horrible things or in son will die. The execution, not so much.

It is a message movie that makes its message unimportant, a character study that leaves you not caring about its main character, and a thriller that is not so thrilling. There are some odd directorial choices, with some that are really good. But the ones that do not land make the movie look cheap. And the ending brings closure, but is not satisfying.
