2022/12/22

We've been threatening to talk about a Pinocchio movie for a while now, because Pinocchio is TOTALLY a Frankenstein story. And what better one to start with than the new one created by Frankenstein super-fan and die-hard Monster Kid GDT? Join us as we discuss the glaring absence of Disney songs, get all Weird Al in the face of fascism, and then get super-emotional about a dead bug in a hollow log.

Merry Christmas, fiends! We're concluding Decem-Burton with a movie not actually directed by Tim Burton, but which he still had a big hand in. It's a goth Christmas classic that spawned a whole industry of Hot Topic merch. And we are HERE for it.

Join us as we go to a particularly upsetting school board meeting, join baseball to make our dad happy (relatable content), and face off against Rodan, Gamera, Sea Monkey Gremlins, and a were-flappy cat(?).

We're joined by our friend and resident Japan expert Alex Heichelbech and we're looking at what happens when a Frankensteinian mad scientist has a run-in with a famous 90s Japanese death cult. Turns out, hilarity ensues? Join us as we meet the only Spanish hunchback in Japan, make our monsters watch porn, and levitate dolls for no particular reason. Please rate,

Well, there was a Wanted poster in dodgy French that told us that Van Helsing is Wanted, and we were happy to provide. If you're not happy about it, blame The Generic Order of the Regular Knights of Totally Not the Templars. Join us as we meet human action figure Steampunk Frankenstein, pop SO many Bat-Babies, and say goodbye in the most Mufasa-ass way possible. And then ride off into the non-sequel sunset.

We've still got a little bit more Monster Mashing today. This time, with an animated feature from a way-past-its-prime DIC Entertainment. This hour-long special boasts an incredibly rare showdown between classic creature-feature era monsters and modern day slasher monsters.

Join us as we get stuck in a storm and trapped in a spooky old house with a bunch of freaks who seem to be vaguely remaking the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Join us as we're verbally abused by the King of Halloween Music, aggressively flirted at by vampires of heterosexually appropriate genders, and comfort a hunchbacked assistant played by the Crypt Keeper?

This week the Frankencast is going back to high school and we're enjoying it way more than we did the first time around. Maybe because of all the monsters. We were both pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this film and we think you'll feel the same. Join us as we overshare about where all our parts came from, dabble in witchcraft in the bathroom, and pull the ultimate Reverse Teen Wolf. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

In today's Very Special Episode, we are joined by the delightful Addie Tsai, author of the new novel Unwieldy Creatures. It's a brilliant meta retelling of Frankenstein through a queer and biracial/bicultural lens. The book is fun and fascinating, and so is its author. We had an absolute blast talking with Addie and we think you'll enjoy listening in on our conversation. And we truly cannot recommend Unwieldy Creatures enough.

Well, fiends, we did it. You monsters have stuck with us through a full year of this nonsense. We'll hopefully have many more years to come, but first, let's celebrate this milestone. To do so, we dug back as far as we can go to watch the oldest Frankenstein movie possible, the 1910 short made by Thomas Edison's film production company. Join us as we melt in reverse out of a cauldron and then disappear into a mirror. After we talk about the short, we spend a little time discussing our favorite films
