Tread Perilously is a podcast in which hosts Erik Amaya and author Justin Robinson watch the “worst” episodes of popular TV shows, attempting to determine if they would continue to watch the series based on the most off-key moments.
This Week: Teen Wolf‘s “Lunatic”
Tread Perilously‘s Movies on TV month concludes with an episode of Teen Wolf called “Lunatic.”
Following the incident at school, Scott and Allison are on the outs … and it seems to be having a profound effect on his wolfy nature. Allison, meanwhile, is starting to notice how strange people are behaving — particularly her father and aunt. Derek is on the run as he is the prime suspect in the school incident, and Scott can’t decide if he or the Alpha is making him go feral. Jackson sees an opportunity to get closer to Allison and Stiles proves to be too good of a friend.
Erik and Justin get into the weeds with the original Teen Wolf film. The Twilight and Vampire Diaries vibes are unavoidable, as well. Erik cannot deny he is a Crystal Reed fan. Stiles turns out to be the surprising favorite in this version of the tale. The problem of high school shows is addressed. The pair find a new role for Bruce Campbell. Justin tries to figure out why the show bothered to use the Teen Wolf branding. Geography Corner leads to a surprising filming location. It is unclear if star Tyler Posey is a lead, and the difficulties of depicting werewolves in live action are explored.
