Tales From The Hood (1995) Review

This is a horror anthology film with a lot of social commentary pumping through its veins.

A light-hearted follow-up to Donny C's first film, Jim, the World's Greatest, Kenny & Company is an honest look at what it's like growing up in the late 70s... or even the early 80s, for that matter, as both of the hosts saw lots of similarities between Kenny and Doug's childhoods and their own. It's just a shame this movie isn't available on Blu-ray in the states because it's so damn good!Click HERE to listen to the complete Coscarelli Factor series on Patreon— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month including Wrap-Up After Dark and The Coscarelli Factor, plus other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!This podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Released the same year as American Werewolf in London, it’s hard not making comparisons between the two iconic werewolf films, especially since they were both critically well received and featured jaw-dropping transformation scenes. Of course, only one of these two movies has an absolute stacked cast, including Slim Pickens and Robert Picardo in his first movie role, and that’s the one the boys are reviewing today!A huge THANK YOU to Cam for selecting The Howling for us to review via our highest Patreon tier!
