Happy Halloween, cinephiles. I am Steve Boris sitting here with my partner, John Roca.

Hello.

And we have scary news classic scary news for you, which is that this week for our annual Halloween

special, we are delving into one of the origins of the monster movie, the universal monster movie

with James Wales Frankenstein. Yeah, it's 1931 classic, starting

calling Clive as Henry Frankenstein. And of course, it's great. Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's

monster is so much fun for us to revisit and exciting. And we've, and we've gotten a lot of

you all who have asked us to revisit this film and talk about this film, especially the cinephiles

advisory board who has really pushed us to take a look at this film again. And it's a film

Steve and I have really looked at for a number of years on the show and we're excited to bring

you our discussion on this one as we celebrate another Halloween in our world. Because I think

this movie you cannot underestimate the influence this film has on monster movies on mad scientists.

And of course, on the character of Frankenstein, which gets locked in with this image of Boris

Karloff on the screen with that makeup, this is an iconic film. And if I could say because we've

just recorded our episode, I think you all are going to really enjoy our discussion on this. And

where we go in our tangents in discussing this film with the real world connections that are even

applicable to our lives now in 2023, which I found to be fascinating during our discussion with Steve.

I couldn't agree more. And so if you haven't seen the film, well, then you should take a very

scary journey to cinephiles.net where you can buy or stream Frankenstein along with every other

movie you've ever reviewed. And if you happen to support the show on patreon.com slash the cinephiles,

right now you could hear John and I discussing the era of peak Travolta. And I know peak Travolta

is an era that means a lot to you, John. Yeah, absolutely. You guys are going to love that
