CW: Like, basically everything. We're back with more Human Centipede, like it or not. This one ratchets up the unpleasantness of the first film exponentially. But for real, we tried to discuss this film a little more delicately than we do with most films we discuss just because the content is so rough, even hearing about it is likely going to overwhelming for some folks. But it's still A LOT. Don't be afraid to stop this one if it gets to be too much. Or skip it altogether if you'd

This week over on Patreon, we've reached the final section of Kiersten White's brilliant retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Turns out that the previous sections set a lot of things in motion that now have perfectly come together into a series of incredible twists. Here we reveal the

We're back at the Hotel Transylvania, baby! Join us as we montage through six years like it's nothing, then travel to the gentrified spooky forest, a vampire summer camp with a complicated relationship to child safety, and even... California! *Terrified scream* We'll be meeting secret star of the film Blobby, Johnny's well-meaning but misguided parents, and Dracula's not-so-well-meaning dad. Oh yeah, and Dennis, the newest addition to the Dracula family. Please rate, review, and

Welp, here we are, folks. In the surgically scrubbed basement of a weirdly modern home deep in the woods of Germany, presumably somewhere near a dance club called Bunker. Join us as we watch the world's most upsetting PowerPoint presentation (and that's saying a lot), learn the perils of indoor swimming pools, and try to figure out the proper etiquette for when you enter a room and find a Surprise Human Centipede. And most importantly: ALWAYS ASK FOR A WARRANT. Whether you're hiding a

Join us as we make a big batch of Blood Gin, redefine the term "well hung", and realize that we've been fighting a Voltron of our neighbors all along.

This is ostensibly a sequel to last week's film. It has easily twice as much nudity and violence, and yet still has a more coherent plot. It also has a blind, cannibalistic bird person with echolocation and psychic powers. Join us as we give Dr. Frankenstein a taste of his own medicine like 5 times, try the world's worst Trojan horse plan, and discuss the pros and cons of poisonous spikes.

What can you say about this movie? It has so little to say, that you could write out all of the dialogue on a post-it note. But it does have so many flappy bats, some really intense zooms, a secret vampire girl, and a werewolf ex machina. Take your brain out, put it in a specimen jar beside the couch, and enjoy!

With a title like this, you know there's gonna be a MONSTER FIGHT! It's gonna take a while to get there, though. But first, we're gonna get the gang (of past-their-prime genre actors) together and we're gonna put on a show to save the rec. center. And if the waiter at the rec. center occasionally slips acid in someone's coffee, well, that's just the price of doing business with evil hippies!

This week at patreon.com/thefrankencast we're discussing this beautiful and visceral short from Jennifer Donohue. She recently shared the story with us and we were eager to talk about this painfully honest meditation on grief in the modern world. It's a story about the physical objects that carry on after we're gone that continue to tell our histories. And it's a story of the tumultuous year of 2020, when we were having to fight against systemic inequality and racial injustice in the

The Bride read Jennifer's story and had some feelings that she wanted to share. This is an intensely emotional conversation, but we wanted to make it available to all of our
