    🎙 Wolfman’s Got Nards… and Andre Gower’s Got Stories!

    In this special episode of Desert Island Movies, we welcome cult movie legend Andre Gower — the heart and hero of Fred Dekker’s 1987 monster mash masterpiece The Monster Squad.

    From trading lines with Dracula to delivering the most quoted line in cult cinema (“Wolfman’s got nards!”), Andre takes us behind the coffin lid for a deep dive into:

    • 📽 The making of The Monster Squad and working with Shane Black & Fred Dekker

    • 🧛 The surprising resurgence of this once-overlooked gem

    • 🔄 Whether we could see a sequel, remake, or reimagining

    • 🎶 His three “desert island” movies and the soundtrack that still gives him chills

    We also talk about Andre’s heartfelt documentary Wolfman’s Got Nards, which captures the enduring love from fans worldwide — proving that sometimes the monsters really do live forever.

    So grab your silver bullets, avoid scary German guys, and join us for a nostalgia-packed, monster-loving conversation that’ll have you chanting: Squad forever!
