2023/10/12

We've been having a lot of fun here, folks, but seriously, as the World's Pre-Eminent Frankenstein Podcast, every now and then, we need to watch a movie simply called Frankenstein. And this week, we're doing just that. This time around, it's the USA Network original film cobbled together from the pilot for a failed TV series based on an idea by novelist Dean Koontz. Join us as we hang out at funerals, get a little too referential with our names, and meet another autistic named

The Munsters has been pretty hit or miss lately, and this week it's a little bit of both. We're discussing the abysmal "Lily Munster - Girl Model" and the much better (but still not great) "Munster the Magnificent". Herman is kind of an idiot in both episodes, but much more

We're finishing up our Larry Fessenden double-feature with this film which is more explicitly Frankensteiny, but thankfully a little less depressing. But just a little.

2023/09/28

As we say over and over on this show, a Frankenstein movie can be just about anything, if a creator sets their mind to it, and this week really shows that to be true. We're talking about a farmhouse family drama/anti-corporate science propaganda film, that also has a little bit of Frankenstein in it. Join us as we try to decide who the worst character is, try to unravel the marital politics of an intercom, and come up with the right name for a dog/calf hybrid. Please rate, review, and tell your

We're back with more Munsters! As we get so close to the end of season one, we get nods to two other classic Universal Monsters, first with the surprise appearance of the literal Creature From the Black Lagoon (TM), aka Uncle Gilbert, and then with Herman being confused as a mummy, a nice nod to Boris
