Summary

This week, James and Jon are covering Frankenstein, written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. Together, they discuss their respective histories with Mary Shelley’s novel, the material being every kid's first opportunity to be pedantic re: who actually is Frankenstein, the film being verified “hot” on the popcorn meter, what they’d do in a cloning situation, just how strong Frankenstein's monster is, how the film compares to Nosferatu, and much, much more!
