Wolfman's Got Nards

Andre Gower and Wolfmans Got Nards rule
I loved this documentary. I love how Andre Gower went around and talked to fans with Ryan Lambert and Ashley Bank while they were on tour for the 30th anniversary of The Monster Squad. It is really great that Andre did from the fans point of view and got Some of the cast to talk on camera about their experiences. It is great that Andre used some fan art on the documentary and had some music from Ryan Lambert’s old bands Elephone and Kill Moi. I get shown in the Iheartrudy zine page.

Must Have
Fans of Fred Dekker's Monster Squad would totally want to get this in their collection. it's as if The Goonies but with the universal monsters, as well as the fact that the late actress Marry Ellen Trainor played both Mrs. Walsh in The Goonies and Sean and Phoebe's mom in The Monster Squad is a cool little fun fact.It shows the love of the fans such who like me love this film and find it to be timeless, it shows some great interviews with Fred Dekker and the cast about the making of the film and the unfortunate flop it took upon it's release. For me the part of the film that stands out of the film is when the stories get to the late actor, Brent Chalem, like him I was a "fat kid" and endured a lot of Horace's struggles of being bullied and seeing him shine and kill The Gillman and kick The Wolfman in the nards, which is so great that the title of the film was his line and I assume it's an tribute to him as well.

Been waiting for this!
I watch MS a few times a year and remember renting it a grocery store back in the 80s when I saw it for the first time, I then taped it off HBO and warn out the special edition DVD years later from re-watching it, so it's a big gem from my childhood and was excited to see this. I had no idea there were so many others who were as passionate as I was, it was surely under the radar when it came out and my brother and I were the only ones who really seemed to know about it in our friend circle. Crazy how movies gain traction over the years and become cult hits. The movie still holds up and it's a treat to hear so many fans and cast share their stories as I look back on my days of watching it on those summer days back in the 80's.

A Monster Squad fans must watch
The Monster Squad is a core memory from my childhood. Whenever I watch it, I get a sense of coming home. Wolfman's Got Nards, the documentary, is a wonderful homage to the creators, cast, and crew of The Monster Squad, but most importantly it is a love letter to the fans that have kept The Monster Squad alive, 30+ years after it was released. Andre Gower and Henry McComas have created a beautiful keepsake for all of us Monster Squad fanatics.

A fun look back at one of my favorite send-ups of the classic Universal Monsters.
As a youngster, I wanted to be one of those kids in the movie. It was fun to see what happened to them post-Monster Club.

I put this in a treasured place in my video-library!
I put this in a treasured place in my video-library: in a double-disc storage case, along-side my favorite (ultra-widescreen-color) classic-horror-comedy spoof, reminiscent, ofABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET A=L=L of THE Universal Studios' MONSTERS movies frommy, Saturday, Triple-Feature, 50¢ matinee-days.This documentary is THE, must-have, companion-piece to the movie it pays tribute TO:"The Monster Squad".You, simply CANNOT have one without the other. HIGHLY recommended informationalstuff!
C**!
Great little documentary
Loved watching this with my family. We watch Monster Squad every year during October and this made an already amazing movie that much more special. Loved the interviews, fan art, costume history, etc. Well worth the purchase. Absolutely recommend to any fan of this great movie!

Okay, but not what I expected it to be
I was a huge fan of this movie when I was a kid, and there were parts of the documentary I enjoyed, but I thought it spent too much time talking to people who were super-fans of this movie, which got to be redundant and a little much. But not a bad documentary. If you enjoyed the movie as a kid, you will probably like this, but if you never heard of the movie, this might not be your bag, baby.

A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE 1987 FILM THE MONSTER SQUAD, NO EXTRAS
WOLFMAN'S GOT NARDS is a Documentary about the 1987 Comedy/Horror film the Monster squadproduced & Directed by Actor Andre Gower, is it worth buying? yes but for under $30this Doco is only for Huge massive fans of the film the Monster squad,and has retrospective interviews with some of the cast & crew plus many Loyal fans of the film recorded on camera in 2018, it is both a retrospective and Legacy Documentary of the filmAndre Gower, Ryan Lambert, Ashley Banks, screenplay writer Shane black, Film's Director Fred Dekkerare the ones mainly interviewed, you also get very brief interviews with Actress Lisa Fuller, Stephen Macht and Duncan regeher who played Dracula in the filmfor some reason there's no more interview footage of Lisa Fuller, stephen Macht or Duncan which is very dissapointing for this Doco, there's also interviews with the special make up effects team that did the Monster make up effects for the film, theres also some Behind the scenes footage from some scenes from the film from 1986 which is very interesting to watch, total runtime goes for 85minsEXTRAS, tragically no extended interview footage no outtake interview footagetheres no seperate Behind the scenes featurette from 1986 eitherthe only extra is the Promo Trailer for the Documentary thats all you get which is very insultingas a big fan of the film myself i want to see extras aswell not just the DocumentaryAndre Gower didn't bother adding any outtake interview footage for the extras or Behind the scenes 1986 footage, the Disc is region 1 locked so you need all regions player for the Disc to workthe Doco is also available on blu-ray format which also has the same content NO EXTRASso if you don't want to pay over $40 just to watch the Documentary on blu-raythen just buy the dvd version, not worth the cash buying the blu-ray version big ripoff actually.especially when there's no extras added to the Disc, so i give 3 stars for the Documentaryif there was alot of extras added, outtake extended interviews added etcthen i would give 5 stars for the Documentary alone
