Film watched: ''Film/{{Werewolf}}''. Since the episode aired in 1998 and the film was released in 1996, it represents the newest film the show had ever riffed in its original run. For a good couple decades it was either beaten or not by ''Film/FutureWar'' depending on whether you count production period or release date, but the debate was rendered academic with the inclusion of 2013's ''Film/AtlanticRim'' in the revival series.
