Description
Len Wiseman’s debut in 2003 was no cause for celebration, but it could be said that Underworld, the film he popped his cherry on, was. Featuring Kate Beckinsale as Selene, the vampire enchantress who hunts werewolves and was responsible for the most sexual awakenings since Princess Leia went commando.

Oh, also, it spawned four sequels, a series, and a metric ass-load of cash while cementing neoprene bodysuits as my new fetish. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate werewolf lipstick and mixed-race relationships as we do our best to decide if the Underworld underwhelmed, or lives immortal.
