The Frankencast

We thought we'd start sharing the first few minutes of our Patreon episodes here on the main feed to give everyone a taste of what you can expect if you join us at  patreon.com/thefrankencast . This week over on Patreon, we're starting our next Frankenbook Club selection. For the next few installments, we'll be discussing this fantastic retelling of Mary Shelley's novel from the pe...

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...

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 tumu...

We're really excited about Jennifer Donohue's "A Country of Eternal Light" so we may have gone a little overboard. One ongoing segment we have over at  patreon.com/thefrankencast  is Frankencast After Dark, where Anthony is joined by The Bride to dig deeper into topics discussed briefly in main feed episodes. The Bride read  Jennifer's story and had some feelings that she wan...

This week we're talking about the sequel to Frankenstein's Bloody Terror, and even though this movie sounds like a James Bond knock-off, it actually does have a Frankenstein in it this time. No more tricks! Join us as we have a rare run-in with aliens (the psychedelic swirl flavor), meet a practical joker skeleton, and have the Mummy do a quick PSA on why you should always clean out your l...

We thought we'd start sharing the first few minutes of our Patreon episodes here on the main feed to give everyone a taste of what you can expect if you join us at  patreon.com/thefrankencast . This week we're talking about The Munsters, episodes 19 & 20. Join us for old school bullying and bats... in space?

This week, we're discussing an incredibly inaccurately titled film (aka La Marca Del Hombre Lobo) that features way more Mysterious Puddles than Frankensteins. And we're super excited to welcome Very Special Guests Alyssa and Courtney from the fantastic Silver Scream Podcast ! Put on your favorite turtleneck, gorilla suit, or Eyes Wide Shut Party mask and join us in the homoerotic dungeon...

We thought we'd start sharing the first few minutes of our Patreon episodes here on the main feed to give everyone a taste of what you can expect if you join us at  patreon.com/thefrankencast . This week we're discussing our recent Frankencast field trip out of the dungeon lab to a local dinner theatre to catch a live performance of the Young Frankenstein musical. Check out this preview of...

We're finishing up our Franken-war movies series, going out with a bang! Join us as we fly the unfriendliest skies, watch some Zazi's do a Ghost Ship, and Eric waxes poetic about mid-90s Canadian sci-fi series Lexx. Oh yeah, and there's flying killer robot sharks! They fight, they bite, they kick some serious fin! Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so y...

COMING NEXT WEEK: SKY SHARKS! THEY FIGHT, THEY BITE, THEY KICK SOME SERIOUS FIN! SKY SHARKS!

This movie is jam-packed full of killer Nazi zombies, but after last week, it actually seems pretty grounded. It's basically a good ol' fashioned hard-boiled war movie... until it isn't. Join us as we discuss our future hopes and dreams while walking through a minefield, put the biggest scare quotes of all time around the word "unconscious", and meet our second disembodied-and-yet-still-alive lady...

We thought we'd start sharing the first few minutes of our Patreon episodes here on the main feed to give everyone a taste of what you can expect if you join us at patreon.com/thefrankencast . This week we're discussing the short-lived and mostly-forgotten dark comedy TV series from the late 70s, Struck By Lightning. We're specifically discussing the pilot, since it appears that's all that still s...

Feeling some deja vu? This time it's a different Frankenstein, and a different army. This time our monsters are a lot less friendly. But that makes sense when you're dealing with Nazi monsters. Join us as we run our shaky POV cameras up and down hallways, make new friends like the Mosquito Man and Propeller Head, and learn the TRUE meaning of the phrase "I'm of two minds about the situation." Oh,...

This week over on patreon.com/thefrankencast we discussed this absolutely brilliant narrative poem by Elizabeth R. McClellan that explores the thoughts of Victor Frankenstein's never-living second creation, the Bride he gave up on. It's a heartbreakingly beautiful poem that we cannot recommend highly enough. We're presenting the full episode here on the main feed because we're so excited to share...

This is definitely the first movie we've covered that features an American president. And maybe the only movie ever to feature an American president getting crushed to death by a Frankenstein. Join us as we hang out with our great grandparents, become a lightning rod ninja, and Megaman blast John Wilkes Booth into dust. It's a very silly, very good time. If you don't like it, we'll pay you five Fr...

Let's do the timewarp again!! It's high time that we talked about this high-camp, super-queer classic musical that has been breaking barriers and records and hearts for decades. Join us as we find SO many innuendos, try to uncover the rainbow mystery, and learn some exciting news about a nearly 100 year old painting. Try not to shiver with antici... Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And b...

If you have a Chekhov's gun joke sitting out at the beginning of a podcast, you know eventually it's going to go off. And all of our Chekhov's humor has finally come to fruition as we go down the rabbit hole of ouroboros nesting dolls hidden inside The Actor's Trunk that is this bizarre short film that ultimately explains how we got into Juilliard. Sound confusing? Good. Join us as we meet David H...

The Throuple is all together for the very first time! We had to bring in The Bride from over on the Patreon so we could all talk about this weirdly wonderful little story. Do the Clever Boy Dance with us as three childless people talk seriously about parenthood, identify so many potential "adult" toys, and unfortunately find the most American (worst) character in this lovely little Welsh town. Aft...

Wanna date? It's February, so we're looking for love on the streets of New York, home of super drugs and reanimated sex workers. Join us as we explode like aerosol cans sometimes do, have an electrifying time in bed, and turn purple in all the right places. Unless you're some kind of Swede. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments. J...

Everyone cue up The Buddi Song and get ready to sing along! We're taking a look at the much-maligned attempt to reboot the Child's Play franchise. It turns out it's basically a first draft of M3GAN and a bit better than we remember. Cut a slice of watermelon and join us as we try to figure out what time of year it is, feel super conflicted about a good cop, and show our age by talking about My Bud...

We're doing something a little different this week as we went to visit America's homicidal robot sweetheart in the theater. Join us for this spoiler-lite episode where we discuss our addiction to technology, making ourselves redundant with AI, and kickass dance sequences. Oh, and the mysterious butterfly/airplane combo. We do give one spoiler, answering the important question: does the dog die? (*...

CW: This is another one with scenes of SA. It's basically a classic revenge film in the same vein as I Spit On Your Grave but with more psychic powers, and not nearly as much Frankenstuff as the title would suggest.  Yes, we somehow resisted the temptation to do an "In the year 2000..." joke in this final Frankenwarp episode. Join us as we point out all of our cool posters, grow the raddest b...

CONTENT WARNING: SA, grooming(?), just general bad vibes. Like, so many content warnings.  The Frankenwarp has sent us all the way to the year 1990 in the fantastical land known as France. Join us as Dr. Frankenstein wears a fake face on his real face, knocks out his wife with her own science experiment, and then almost feeds it to the guard dog. And that's just in the first five minutes! The...

The Frankenwarp continues as we travel all the way to the year 1980, when Dr. Frankenstein grew a mustache, EVERYONE smoked, and there was a secret lab behind every bookcase of medical journals. Join us as we repeatedly introduce new characters only to immediately kill them off, choose to shop for our own internal organs, and jump out from behind every curtain in sight. Please rate, review, and te...
