What’s inside this episode:

• Unpack big changes del Toro made to the original story--and what we did and did not like about those
• Weigh in on whether this adaptation is the cinematic masterpiece we've been waiting for

️‍️ Frankenstein premiered at Venice, had a limited theatrical run, and is now streaming on Netflix. The film explores the consequences of creation, identity, suffering, and forgiveness — packed with stunning visuals, a haunting score, and powerhouse performances.

⭐ Highlights from the Movie:

• A richly emotional reimagining of a literary classic
• A deeper look at creator vs. creation with genuine heart

Del Toro’s Frankenstein isn’t just another adaptation — it’s a character-driven experience that leans into empathy and tragedy in a way few Frankenstein films have. Whether you’re a die-hard Shelley fan or just love del Toro’s style, there’s so much to unpack here.
