It's just before midnight.

They had a lot of fun and appreciated the unpredictability of the film, noting that the characters were deeply flawed but it added to the narrative experience.

Episode 251 - The Wolf Man (1941)
Q: What did you guys think of The Wolf Man?
Um, so, yeah, I mean, this, you know, it wasn't too bad. I'll be honest, this there wasn't there. This wasn't my favorite Universal Horror movie.

Q: What did you guys think of When Evil Lurks?
