In the inaugural episode of Extra Credit: The Intern Files, the crew dives headfirst into the chaos as our intern Amy takes charge (somewhat) for the first time! What starts as a breakdown of the ReelShort film Money, Guns, and A Merry Christmas quickly spirals into a fiery debate about the legitimacy of short-form episodic clips creating a full-length cinematic experience.

Are bite-sized episodes the future of storytelling, or do they undermine the artistry of traditional filmmaking? From questionable character arcs to the challenges of pacing, the team leave no stone unturned as they clash over the evolving definition of “movies.” Along the way, there’s laughter, hot takes, and maybe even a little holiday cheer.

Tune in for all the heated opinions, unexpected tangents, and a fresh perspective on the film world—intern style!

Join The Filmlosophers as they sink their teeth into Leigh Whannell's latest horror film, "Wolf Man." This isn't your grandfather's werewolf movie; Whannell brings a fresh perspective to the classic monster myth, delivering a chilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience.

In this episode, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Amy, will:

• Unleash the beast: Analyze Whannell's unique take on the werewolf legend, exploring the film's themes of transformation, identity, and the generational pain that can lie dormant within us all.
• Discuss the scares: Examine Whannell's ability to use suspense, atmosphere, and practical effects to create some truly terrifying cinematic experiences.
• Analyze the performances: Discuss the powerful performances that bring the "Wolf Man" to life, exploring the nuances of human vulnerability and the terrifying power of the beast.
• Snack attack! In a special segment, The Filmlosophers will debate the beauty of movie-watching snacks, and how a snack isn't a snack if it requires a fork and knife.
