I Know What You Did Last Summer with Norm Wilner
Adam and Nate are joined by film critic Norm Wilner to revisit I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its parody in “Treehouse of Horror X” (S11E4), one of the most movie parody-packed episodes of The Simpsons ever. Does Norm still agree with his pull quote on every home release of this movie that says it’s “a pure fright machine [that] scares the hell out of you”? (Did he ever?) Also in this episode: • Screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s meta impact on pop culture • Does this movie work better as a ghost movie or a whodunnit?  • Norm’s theory about the deep cut reference behind werewolf Flanders • Could the recent legasequel be an improvement on the original? Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading Next time, we’ll be nursing our Halloween hangover with a little horror hair of the dog. Simpsons writer Dan Vebber joins us to talk about his incredibly ambitious episode “Thanksgiving of Horror” (S31E8) and its parody of Alien (1979).  For more of Norm’s work, check out his podcast Someone Else’s Movie and his physical media newsletter Shiny Things.
