Episode #163 – When in Doubt, Blame the Mushrooms

Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast episode #163 dives into the discussion of Wolf Pack season 1, episode 5, “Incendiary.” The teens are definitely coming together as a pack now, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t personality clashes. The real question is—are they closing in on the werewolf, or is the werewolf closing in on them? Meanwhile, Garrett and Kristin team up to find the arsonist, and some hints of the past are revealed. But so is the nest of bodies. Continue reading “Episode #163 – When in Doubt, Blame the Mushrooms”

Episode #162 – Secret Third Option

The hosts of Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast are here to do an in-depth discussion of Wolf Pack season 1, episode 4, “Fear and Pain.” While there are still plenty of questions left unanswered, we are getting some more background information on a few of the characters, so that’s nice. This week, we’re really questioning Kristin’s motives, especially as she closes in on the werewolf’s trail. Is she good or bad, or is there some secret third option in which she’s neither (or both)!?

Episode #159 – Protectors of the Land

The hosts of Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast have been covering Wolf Pack, Jeff Davis’ new show on Paramount+, and return with another weekly recap and discussion of episode 2, “Two Bitten, Two Born.” Just a reminder this is NOT a Teen Wolf spinoff, even if it’s about some wolf teens. We have even wilder theories this week, and you’ll be happy (or disgruntled) to know that we have not stopped saying such phrases as “wolf daddy” and “ram daddy.” Proceed at your own risk, but just know that there’s a lot of mystery and intrigue when you’re tuning into Wolf Pack.
