Got a couple of friends really digging Ozark, while I continue my attempt to catch-up on Game of Thrones. Good news for those friends, who have been telling me I’m fucking up (I know, I know!) for not watching Ozark. They’re going to have more of the show to enjoy. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be caught up on Thrones by the time the second season drops.

Here’s another trailer for the Jason Bateman-starring Netflix series, Ozark. I’m in! Additionally, I’m going to continue being trite and compare it to Breaking Bad. But! If I’m lazy, I’m also intending it in the best way possible.

Man, where did this project come from? Here’s the trailer for a new Netflix series, Ozark. Jason Bateman doing his Walter White impression, or something, I know that’s an easy and reductive comparison, but yeah, I think I’m stoked.

After Arrested Development‘s fourth season, I’m pretty much good with the series dying. But as they say in Game of Thrones, what is marketable and niche may never die.

OCTOBERFEAST has shown a more merciful side today, granting access to an entry that had been already been cut twice. During the drawing of the initial list, this film came up but was then excised in favor of its predecessor. The second draft of the OCTOBERFEAST lineup saw the formation of the WEREWOLF TRILOGY (we’ll get there in a few days) and so the movie was scrapped in the hopes of avoiding redundancy.

But here we are — in the midst of an OCTOBERFEAST miracle! Maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for Jason Bateman or maybe it’s because it is the best film of 1987, but there’s no way I could not present Teen Wolf Too!

Written by Jeph Loeb (yes, the same guy from yesterday), Teen Wolf Too is about a teenager who is struggling academically, socially and athletically. His life is in the toilet and he just wishes there were a way to take a stand. Then, he finds out he’s a werewolf and everything gets better — just like it would in real life.

Teen Wolf Too is pretty much the exact same movie as Teen Wolf — except instead of Michael J. Fox doing his best to be the alpha-dog of the high school basketball team, we have Jason Bateman (playing his cousin) doing his best to succeed on the college boxing team. Purely speculating, I’m sure that Michael J. Fox was asked back for Too but preferred to spend two years preparing to finish the McFly role in Back to the Future II & III. It’s called method acting, duh.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about this at all — in my book, two 1980’s flicks about teenage wolfmen is definitely better than one. This movie has all sorts of great shit to keep you watching: boxing on par with any scene from Rocky, dance sequences, and the always wonderful Mark Holton. I imagine that if I were to pound a few brews, put on a Gary Numan record and try to shirtlessly write a movie, the result would be similar to Teen Wolf Too.

If you’re not too proud to embrace the cheese that got America through the Cold War, watch Teen Wolf Too.
