Toss that girl in the pond and break out the good champagne because we're discussing James Whale's seminal horror film Frankenstein (1931) to celebrate the release of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025)!Join us as we discuss how Frankenstein's success (along with that same year's Dracula), helped kickstart a series of Universal monster films. We also discuss what made this film so terrifying for audiences in 1931, despite the fact that the creature itself is one of the most sympathetic characters in horror history. Plus: another lesson in German Expressionism, lamenting the uselessness of Elizabeth (Mae Clarke), heaping all the praise on that dummy shot, and recounting a funny anecdote about....hard-boiled eggs??? Questions?
