You know how sometimes you think to yourself, "man, I should watch all of M. Night Shyamalan's films and then dissect them in dizzying detail with my friend on our podcast, maybe people will like that?" No? Anyway, we thought that, so we hopped onto Netflix and watched the 2004 film "The Village." Special topics for your consideration include: reviewing a movie without actually seeing a movie, free marketing for the state of Wyoming, urban animals, good twists, bad twists and semi-bad twists, and our friend and yours, M. Night Shyamalan.

Did you miss our other M. Night films? Check out a very early-but- goodie, Episode 12- "The Happening" and a much more recent addition, Episode 157- "The Sixth Sense." Also, please join us next week for a very special April Fools' episode.

In the second episode of our two-parter, we're discussing the 1990 sequel to last week's episode, "Puppet Master 2." Boy, is it a doozy. Special topics for your consideration include: unexpected Dust Bowl farmers, yucky intimacy, oily wrestlers, ways in which one could search for a lost relative, gross intimacy and making the same movie twice but making it much worse the second time.

We've done a number of sequels on this show, but instead let us point you to a better "Puppet Master"...last week's episode.

In our very first two-part episode arc, we're discussing the 1989 film "Puppet Master" (don't forget to tune in next week for the sequel, "Puppet Master 2" because we have no taste, obviously). Special topics for your consideration include: bad Southern accents, funeral pranks, confusing motives, Barbara Crampton, not being a great psychic, leaps of logic and a game of puppet name guessing. 

We do love film franchises here at Werewolf Ambulance, and with that in mind, we've done three of the "Friday the 13th" films. Check out those episodes: Episode 32- "Part VII: The New Blood," Episode 117- "Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan" and Episode 141- the original, "Friday the 13th."

Have you seen this one? Have you seen the second one? Have you seen any of the other ELEVEN films in this series?

As you guys know, we like to temper our fun with the most depressing, bleak movies we can find. That said, this week we're discussing the 2008 Swedish vampire film "Let the Right One In."
