It’s a full moon in Tarker’s Mills, and things are getting hairy—but not just because of the werewolf. This week, Emma is joined by The Producer, who’s filling in for Ally (don’t worry, she’s safe… for now).
Together, they sink their teeth into Silver Bullet (1985), a wild Stephen King adaptation where the biggest threat might actually be the town’s blood-alcohol content. Seriously, is everyone in this town drunk?
