![]() ![]() Make it a community of wereleopads instead and they can only breed amongst themselves. Honestly, the whole incest sub-plot could have been ditched. I really did not need the “Paul tries to sleep with Irena” scene. See, he’s a zookeeper at the New Orleans Zoo, so, yes, you can guess where Irena ends up living following this transformation.Ĭat People is a well-made film, but it is just so unnecessarily creepy at some points. She asks her boyfriend, Oliver Yates (John Heard), to make love to her one more time to transform her. Irena finally accepts her fate only to realize this is no way to live. Let me tell you, folks, nothing quite beats watching a brother try to seduce his sister just so they won’t change into leopards. ![]() “But you said the wereleopard curse is in their family… oh no.” You see, if they have sex with another wereleopard, they won’t change. “Wait, why did you stress that part about “unless they have sex with someone isn’t a wereleopard?” I’m so glad you asked. They won’t change unless they have sex with someone who isn’t a wereleopard, and the only way to change back to human form is by killing a human. What Irena doesn’t know as of yet is that she and her brother are descended from a long line of wereleopards in their family.

We’ve listened to numerous episodes and it’s fun checking off their thoughts against my own. Quick side note: Since we launched this series this year, we’ve discovered that Vintage Video Podcast is doing the exact same project with two differences: First, it’s audio (naturally), and second, they are doing every major film. This time around it’s April 2, 1982, and we’re off to see Cat People, Pandemonium, and Silent Rage! In some cases, it truly will be the first time we’ve seen them. All films are also watched again for the purposes of these reviews and are not being done from memory. ![]() The articles will come out – in most cases – on the same day the films hit theaters in 1982 so that it is their true 40th anniversary. Yes, we’re insane, but 1982 was that great of a year for film. We’re going to pick and choose which movies we hit, but right now the list stands at nearly four dozen. It was also the start to a major shift in cultural and societal norms, and some of those still reverberate to this day. 1982 was an exciting year for films giving us a lot of films that would go on to be beloved favorites and cult classics. Welcome to an exciting year-long project here at The Nerdy. ![]()
