the werewolf bar mitzvah cinematic universe remains underfunded

feature-length Werewolf Bar Mitzvah movie is an extremely reasonable thing to want. 30 Rock supplied the title, the monster and the party; a studio could at least supply a budget.

Robert Carlock told LAist they built a cemetery set and spent three hours shooting an eight-second cutaway. This was already a wildly disproportionate commitment to a joke, which is exactly the correct amount. No origin-story trilogy required. Just let Tracy Jordan have his spooky little event.
