Hello, my name is Justin the Clue, and I'm here today, Wes.

Shocktober at the important cinema club.

Howo?

Will sealing my eye, which means I have to go,

because I'm Frankenstein's monster.

That is generic witch.

You all love generic witch, right?

The Republicans have won the presidency.

The Democrats have won the presidency.

Is that when this is dropping?

We're recording this a bit in advance.

Do they know yet? Do they know who won? No, this will be dropping a week from when we're recording it. So, yeah, we won't know until then. I expect everybody to be November 5th at the Fox Cinema watching Fantasy Mission Force. That's right. We have a screening coming up at the Fox Theater in Toronto, Jackie Chan in Fantasy Mission Force. On Election Day. It's so cool. And wouldn't you rather be watching that than like thinking about Michigan? I don't know. Yeah, come on out. But, you know, before that, we got to talk about the Frankenstein movies. During Shoktober, we like to do franchises. And Will was like, what about the Frankenstein films? And by that, I don't mean Frankenstein, bride of frank. We've talked about those. We did an episode on James Whale. Although I do feel like inevitably we are going to talk a little bit about them. Yeah. They're better than the movies we watch this week. Yeah. And I mean, the movies that we're going to be talking about today because they are the later movies in the franchise, because they followed

the examples of the first two James Whale films. Inevitably, they sort of refract and reflect and

I don't know what I'm looking for. They do much less than the previous films I've done and try

to give the bare minimum to pass as what they're selling. And if anything, they sort of illuminate

what was great about the first two movies. But you know what? Maybe the first two movies will illuminate what's great about these. Okay. You know, maybe these movies are better than the first two. Maybe they are refining the kind of, you know, a rough material that James Whale was working with. You're right. They're shorter. Yes. Some of them. Well, not the first one we're going to talk about. Well, what I first want to say is I kind of love all these movies, even the ones I don't like very much, because the Frankenstein movies, the universal Frankenstein movies, they created the image of what a horror movie looks like for me, which I can explain that. I was a child and I wanted to watch a horror movie. I was too scared to watch anything that was actually scary. And so I said to my mom, can you get me a Frankenstein movie that's not too scary? And so she went to the horror section where I was too scared to go. Yeah. I mean, there's puppet masters looking at you, reaching out. And actually, I think even before that, I saw Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.

Now, how did you feel about that?

Loved it.

Okay, so you weren't scared.

There's some scary parts in that movie?

There are scary parts.

But I still remember, I still remember seeing it the first time.
