A 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](https://laist.com/news/entertainment/30-rocks-werewolf-bar-mitzvah-an-oral-history)
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.
