2025/01/09

Surprise, we're back! And, surprise, this movie is good actually? Somehow this Wild Eye Releasing film about a little person Frankenstein is not at all insensitive and is actually a nostalgic twist on ET, but possibly even better? Gasp! Join us as we gush about Andre Gower, get really mad about jerk boyfriends, and get choked up at a little Frankenstein eating trick or treat candy.

Happy holidays, fiends! All is calm, all is bright. This week, we're discussing the 5th film in this truly bonkers slasher Santa series, but this one is about the Pinocchio we have at home.

2024/12/12

You know that incomprehensibly dry British humor you always hear people talking about? Well, we found some. Join us for a Frankenstein comedy from the 80s that kinda feels like it could be from the 70s. We have Donald Pleasence as a pervy Frankenstein, a feminist racecar driver/political protestor, a bunch of nameless bureaucrats in an incredibly out-of-print movie that is thankfully available on YouTube. It's... fun? I think it's fun.Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to

This week we've got another heartwarming story from the '90s, but this time the Frankenstein is more explicit, and yet also more metaphorical?

Do you have your tissues ready? This week we're going back to the days before Pixar, when a wild kid could let a squirrel loose in a diner, and then stay up late chasing a giant robot through the woods with a BB gun.

The Frankencast ·

2024/11/14

Okay, this might be barely a Frankenstein story. But hear us out. It's a light-hearted little comedy and it works as a really bizarre double feature with last week's film. So join us for wacky hijinks as a real girl pretends to be a robot, and a robot pretends to be a real girl. Join us as we struggle with voice commands, sneak food when the management isn't looking, and try desperately to make a watch that can yodel. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

The Frankencast ·

2024/11/07

2024 has given us so many interesting new takes on the Frankenstein story, and this is another great example, only instead of making a monster out of corpse parts, an unsuspecting dad just buys a really hot robot and things go awry. Join us as we learn we're both members of the Megan Fox Stan Society, try to decide if robots count as cheating, and wonder if polyamory would have fixed this whole "murderbot" problem.Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

Has a movie ever more fully lived up to the promise of its title? This one's bad, fiends. Like, really bad. Join us as we go into outer space, eat at the jack-o-lantern infested space fast food restaurant, and then nearly cause the end of the universe for some vague reason that seems to have to do with a spooky black hole?

This week, we're getting a little classy. We're putting on our finest attire and going to the ballet!

The Frankencast ·

2024/09/26

Things are getting chaotic over here at the Frankencast Labs! Join us as we watch two low-budget movies and have very different feelings about the two. First up, it's Amityville Frankentein, one more film in the increasingly broken series of completely unrelated "Amityville" films. This one is certainly not in anyway related to the Amityville Horror, nor is it really all that much of a Frankenstein film, but here we are, we watched it, and now we have to talk about it. We're
