*Please note that Lee’s opinions on discussing this movie in the comments does not reflect the policy or opinions of The Midnight Movie Club or that guy down the street who collects plastic bags and yells at the kids as they walk by. Please discuss away.
One of the rules of the Midnight Movie Club is that the film that we’re watching has to be one that we would stay up really late watching despite having work the next morning. Teen Wolf fits this profile perfectly.
This week Lee and Dan talk about
the complete and utter wrongness of that basketball team

Apparently Dan felt that the swearing in the podcast has reached an unacceptable high and whilst he may be correct you won’t have to worry because we have our all new, all dancing swear noise! You can only hear it by listening to the podcast and it should not be missed.
Also hear the boys talk about:
the eagerly awaited Three men and a baby sequel
confusing this film with a popular Batman PS3 game
Lee’s poor jokes requiring explanation
Dan doesn’t know where the line “I like the night life, I like to boogie” comes from
and for what seems to be a completely random reason the Staypuft Marshmallow Man
Dan just finished editing next weeks podcast. That's two in the can, which allows the boys a nice weeks break.08:53:14 AM September 06, 2010from Facebook
