    Me: Teen Wolf is a weird movie. Why would being a werewolf make you good at basketball? Racetracula, the vampire who is also an awesome NASCAR driver: No idea, man. The Loch Ness Mobster, the sea monster who is good at crimes: Just doesn’t make sense.

TRIVIA: Actor James Hampton, who played Harold Howard in the ‘Teen Wolf’ film, voiced the same character in the ‘Teen Wolf’ animated series. (IMDB) 🖤

    That brings us to tonight's #HATM questions: 1) What is the better 1985 Michael J. Fox performance: Scott Howard or Marty McFly? 2) Is Teen Wolf primarily a monster movie, a sports movie, a teen comedy—or a superhero origin story? 3) And finally, what is on the menu at your home tonight?

    So, speaking of youngins, my nail tech is definitely a Gen Z-er. In the shop, they had Netflix on and were playing this show "Teen Wolf." We were laughing because the show was bad and I was saying it doesn't hold a candle to the movie with Michael J. Fox. Dear reader. . .

    41 years ago today, ‘TEEN WOLF’ premiered in theaters. The studio strategically waited until Michael J. Fox became a breakout star with ‘BACK TO THE FUTURE’ before releasing it, helping the $1.2M film earn $80M worldwide. #TeenWolf #MichaelJFox

    Teen Wolf (1986) intro from the animated series. This fell between the original Michael J. Fox film and the Jason Bateman sequel, Teen Wolf Too. 80’s movies becoming cartoons that had no business being cartoons is one of my favorite genres of television.

    The 2010s was something special. We had hit music everywhere. TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf used to stress us out weekly. Movie theater tickets were $7.25. And right after, you can walk over and get a chicken snack wrap, sweet tea, and fries at McDonald’s for like a $1. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

    Final Thoughts: Teen Wolf is not much of a film. It clearly capitalized on Michael J. Fox's fame. It borrowed every cliche imaginable from high school sports movies to show how a werewolf wins the game and the girl. Yet it became a hit that started a franchise. Best watched with friends #hatm

    Saw my favorite local band last night. Tiny little venue. Free show. Very strong rum and cokes. The band is Wolf-Face and their gimmick is they dress up like werewolves from the 80s Teen Wolf and all their song titles are references to the movie. They're so good.

    So, not only did the makers of Phineas and Ferb succeed in making an intentionally funny version of Twilight in the episode The Curse of Candace, but also got Michael J. Fox, who previously played a werewolf in the movie Teen Wolf (1985), to voice Michael, the werewolf.
