Episode 371: Werewolf Adjacent

November 22nd, 2019 | Robin

In the Gaming Hut beloved Patreon backer Elias Helfer asks us how to invent great magical artifacts.

The History Hut exits pursued by a bear, and also flying bricks, as we look at New York City’s 1849 Shakespeare riots.

Phil Masters leads a cane-toting pack of his fellow Patreon backers into the Horror Hut, demanding to know how Jekyll and Hyde fit into Robin’s theory about the inherent structural challenge of werewolf movies.

Then backer Andrea Colletta revs up Ken’s Time Machine to find out what history looks like when Richard Nixon’s application to join the FBI is accepted.

    You two spend a great deal of time trying to make a distinction between werewolf stories and Jekyll/Hyde, but whether the transformation is external or internal has nothing to do with the reason you suggest werewolf stories are hard to tell. Why not simply say that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde works because the protagonist isn’t the transforming character, so that the problem with werewolf stories that make the werewolf the protagonist never arises, and have done with it?
