I'm I'm Travis Hunter, joined as always by my co-host, my sister,

and my brother-in-law. Hi, I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez. Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. This week,

we're broadcasting live from a makeshift laboratory discussing the 1931 horror classic

Frankenstein. This film was directed by James Whale from a screenplay by Garrett Fort and

Francis Edward Farragow based on the stage play by Peggy Weebling and John L. Baldurston, adapted from

the novel by Mary Shelley. After the incredible success of Dracula in February of 1931, Carl

Limley Jr. and Universal Pictures promptly dove deeper into the world of horror, releasing

Frankenstein 10 months later. Though the film features several departures from the novel on which

it's based, it gave birth to an indelible horror icon in the character of the monster

portrayed by Boris Karloff. Frankenstein would not only prove profitable for Universal,

but it would also go on to inspire several sequels and countless cinematic reimaginings,

cementing its place over the years as

one of the most important films in the horror genre. We like to thank Friends of the Show

Michelle Moore and Lala Thomas for recommending that we journey into the world of universal

classic monsters. So, Frankenstein, were your first impressions on the film? So this was the

first time I ever watched this.

I've seen like bits and pieces of it, but I've never seen the whole movie all the way

through.

Okay.

I did enjoy this.

I was a little, I don't want to say confused, but like I kind of, I want to say feel bad for the monster but I kind of felt bad I think

for yeah no for sure yeah I think that's part of it I felt more bad for him this time than ever before
