Jackie and Danielle are closing out Joshua Jackson May-hem with a howl-worthy deep dive into Cursed, the 2005 werewolf thriller that somehow combines Hollywood satire, suspicious CGI, and one very confused plot. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, this horror-comedy had all the ingredients for a cult classic. Instead, it became one of the most fascinating studio messes of the Y2K era.

In this episode of the No More Late Fees podcast, Jackie and Danielle break down everything from the movie’s troubled production history to the unintentionally hilarious werewolf transformations. They discuss the stacked cast featuring Christina Ricci, Joshua Jackson, Jesse Eisenberg, Judy Greer, and Mýa while debating whether this movie should have leaned harder into horror or full camp.

The episode also dives into:

• Behind-the-scenes drama involving rewrites, reshoots, and deleted footage

• The original practical effects that were replaced with CGI

• Jesse Eisenberg’s early movie roles and unexpected “glow-up”

• Judy Greer’s standout performance and wild final reveal

• The strange world of mid-2000s horror trends

• Funny commentary about werewolf logic, terrible decisions, and random celebrity cameos

• Fandom hot takes about Joshua Jackson’s villain era and the movie’s cult potential

Jackie and Danielle also share box office trivia, critic reactions, and their present-day Ratings Rewind scores while revisiting one of the weirdest horror movies of the 2000s. Whether you watched Cursed back in the day or are discovering it for the first time, this episode is packed with nostalgic laughs and sharp pop culture commentary.
