The Frankencast

It's episode 150, so it's time we finally talked about the movie called Frankenstein! No, not that one. No, not that one either... Okay, so there are a lot of movies called Frankenstein, but this week, we're talking about the lesser-known BBC TV movie set in modern (2007-modern) times. Join us as we look at this still quite relevant, melancholy reinterpretation complete with gender-swa...

Prepare yourself... for the Power the Power the Power! We're headed for an island vacation with friend of the show, Tim Kirk. Join us as we meet a team of balloonists (The Doctor, The Preacher, Disco Shirt Guy, and the Other Guy), a whole tribe of Alien Bikini Cave Girls, and an Poe-quoting captive human blood-bag. We bought all of our supplies and Spirit Halloween and we are ready for an isla...

This week we're putting our Longlegs on to discuss possibly the most zeitgeisty horror film of the year so far. Join us as we start with a spoiler-lite chat, and then really get into all of the details. And, most importantly for us, we talk about the Frankenstein connection. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments. Join us o...

We're back with more Death Race! And when I say more Death Race, I mean we basically watched the same movie two weeks in a row. Join us here in the future Appalachian Desert for this ostensible sequel to Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000, which is really basically a remake with the addition of clever place names. We do get to talk about some pretty interesting stuff regarding gender and race t...

Welcome to the far dystopian future, all the way in the Year 2000! Join us for the horror comedy car race movie you've all been waiting for. We'll obviously be cheering for American Hero Frankenstein! (But also for the Resistance. This is a pro-Resistance Frankenstein podcast, if you didn't know.) Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss...

Well, fiends, we may have gotten a little lost last week, but we've finally made it to the beach. Just be on the lookout, because we heard some mad scientists down the road have misplaced their mutant sea monster. Join us as we get very analytical about "gentlemen's magazines", meet the ACTUAL Ghost of Frankenstein and question his makeup choices, and compare the artistically sup...

Well, we got fooled this time, fiends. Not since Frankenstein's Bloody Terror have we come across a more deceptively titled film. Join us for this late period softcore comedy from one of Full Moon Features' classic era directors. But don't bother bringing your beach attire. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments. Jo...

Step right up, step right up! Ladies and gentlemen and queerfolk of all kinds, feast your ears on the cursed episode of the Frankencast. We had so many glitches when recording this episode, that it's a miracle we have a full episode to give. So, yeah, I guess you could say we beat the Devil. Join us for some murderous family fun, Great Depression Goths, and a surprise Sleepaway Camp. Please ra...

I don't know why it's taken us so long to get to this one. This play is basically the ur-text of Frankenstein adaptations, coming out...

If this week's movie isn't a Frankenstein story, it is at the very least a Frankenstein Monster of a story, mashing Faust, Picture of Dorian Gray, Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, and (yes, even) Frankenstein together into something that's also kind of the Rocky Horror Picture Show? It's the best kind of crazy mess. Join us at the Paradise where you definitely (probably) won't ge...

I recently recovered an old box of childhood books from my mom's garage. It was mostly Goosebumps books, but I did also find two different a...

It's the most 1980s movie ever to be set in the 1800s! Join us as the "Every Breath You Take" guy makes monsters out of the Kurgan and the Flashdance girl. We were actually pleasantly surprised by the depth and resonance of this spiritual sequel to James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein that sort of paved the way for last year's Poor Things film. Please rate, review, and tell yo...

So join us for bikini babes on the beach, a guy in a gorilla suit, rock-n-roll dance parties, and a bald little freak from space. And SO much archival B-roll.

Here at the Frankencast, we've spent a lot of time talking about the Mother of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, but we haven't really talked much about the Father of Frankenstein, James Whale. It's high-time we remedied that, so here we are talking about the Academy Award winning fictional retelling of the last days of Whale's life. Join us as we talk about some heavy topics and pay tri...
