We're back with a spoiler-filled double feature of ROOFMAN and Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN (2025). We unpack why ROOFMAN feels like an instant “Reddit classic,” how it fits in that cozy mid-2000s Little Miss Sunshine / Logan Lucky / adult dramedy lane, and whether Channing Tatum just delivered one of his best performances opposite a lights-out Kirsten Dunst.Then we go long on GDT's FRANKENSTEIN.Is Oscar Isaac miscast or perfectly hammy as Victor?Is the movie too sympathetic to its creator, or just honest about tech-bro god complexes?How hard does Jacob Elordi cook as the Creature?Do the practical effects and gore outweigh the “Netflix look” of the CG backdrops?Mia Goth as the true nature-vs-nurture conscience of the movieFrankenstein as an AI / capitalism / “move fast and break things” parableTimestamps 00:00 - ROOFMAN spoiler review 28:20 - FRANKENSTEIN (2025) spoilers with Lee

Découvrez l'analyse du récent Frankenstein de Guillermo Del Torro sur la plateforme Netflix par Paul Hébert, expert du réalisateur. Quoi dire de cette nouvelle adaptation de Mary Shelley ? Après le chef d'oeuvre de James Whale, datant de 1931, qui a imposé la figure monstrueuse de Boris Karloff que pouvons-nous faire de nouveau ou de mieux avec la créature de Mary Shelley qui aura également été interprété par Christopher Lee (1957), Robert de Niro (en 1994) ou encore Eddy Mitchell (1984) ? Lancé en fanfare sur la plateforme Netflix avec Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth et Christophe Waltz, ce nouveau film se repositionne dans la veine fantastique du roman. Le maître Guillermo Del Torro apporte sa touche gothique et onirique dans cette histoire qui date de 1818. Notre invité Paul Hébert analyse et replace cette oeuvre dans la filmographie du réalisateur mexicain. Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Kiedy Mary Shelley siadała do pisania swojej najsłynniejszej powieści, epoka oświecenia chyliła się ku końcowi. Wraz ze swym najważniejszym owocem – religią rozumu, zaczęła być wypierana przez coraz częstsze skłanianie się ku ludzkiej duszy, zaś w centrum rozważań filozoficznych i literackich zaczęto stawiać uczucie i mistycyzm. Już więc Frankenstein, czyli współczesny Prometeusz z 1818 roku jest odpowiedzią na oświeceniowe idee, jednak stricte chrześcijańskie przesłanie tej opowieści ujrzeliśmy dopiero teraz, gdy swoją interpretację przedstawił Guillermo Del Toro. Reżyser nowej ekranizacji Frankensteina unaocznia, dlaczego nie powinniśmy eksperymentować z ludzką naturą, wypaczając sens zdania: „Skoro śmierć przyszła przez człowieka, to przez człowieka też dokona się zmartwychwstanie” (1 Kor 15:21).

With the latest buzz surrounding a new series from Vince Gilligan, the creative mind behind classics like Breaking Bad, they explore the intricacies of a dystopian world where a hive mind controls the remnants of humanity, leaving one cynical woman to navigate a sea of happiness that feels anything but real. They dissect the science—sometimes a little too far-fetched for Andy's taste—and the philosophical undertones about independence and societal connection, making it clear that this isn't just another sci-fi series but a thought-provoking journey that questions what it truly means to be human. And let's not forget the light-hearted banter and witty digs that make their discussions so enjoyable!

Despite mixed reviews, Kevin finds the film to be an exhilarating ride, filled with action, humor, and just enough heart to keep the audience engaged. With Edgar Wright's signature visual style and clever dialogue, the film promises to be a thrilling experience, even if it doesn't quite reach the highs of Wright's earlier works. This episode is a delightful mix of pop culture exploration, genuine enthusiasm, and the kind of insightful commentary that keeps listeners coming back for more.Takeaways: In this episode, Kevin and Andy dive deep into the latest buzz in geek culture, covering new shows and films like 'Flibus' and 'Frankenstein', while blending humor and...

Sandy shares writing advice from Guillermo del Toro, a talented director, screenwriter, producer, and artist whose incredible work spans horror, fiction, and fairy tales. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1964, del Toro's passion for film and horror blossomed during his childhood. His unique style beautifully blends genres, often finding grace in the grotesque, and draws inspiration from anime, manga, and Japanese TV. Del Toro has brought to life impressive big-budget movies like Blade II, Hellboy, Pacific Rim, and The Shape of Water, along with Netflix's captivating Frankenstein.  

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most influential works of horror, science fiction, and gothic literature, but does Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited 2025 adaptation succeed in its representation of the novel? In this episode of Four Play, MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis dig into why this debate the merits of the films visuals, story, and faithfulness to the original themes. While our hosts may not enjoy the source material, the ideas behind the story could be compelling on film if interpreted properly. However, considering the narrative inconsistencies and the surprising lack of tension, the hosts explore how Frankenstein ends up being a film that has all the pieces but none of the spark that makes the story immortal. Along the way, they talk about the legacy of gothic horror, the challenges of adapting philosophical novels for modern audiences, how del Toro's filmmaking strengths and weaknesses show through, and why this version feels more like a visual poem than a fully realized narrative. Shop the Into the AM Black Friday Sale!

Frankenstein (2025) – Tech bros, trauma, and a super-horny monster movie on NetflixMary Shelley by way of Guillermo del Toro feels almost too perfect, and Frankenstein (2025) absolutely leans into that match-up: lush Gothic sets, grotesque body horror, tender fairytale beats, and a very modern anxiety about people who build things they can't control.In this episode, the Bad Dads dig into Netflix's lavish new take on the classic, framed in the icy Arctic as Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and his Creature retell their shared nightmare from two sides. Along the way we get abusive fathers, creepy power dynamics, “18th-century tech bro” energy, and more limb-sawing than is probably healthy for a school night.We also talk about how weird it is that this $120m movie technically “bombed” at the box office but only because it was dumped into cinemas for a week to qualify for Oscars, and what that says about modern streaming, awards campaigning and how success is measured now.In the episode we cover:Netflix's blink-and-you-miss-it theatrical release strategy and why the film only made $144k in cinemasOscar Isaac's monstrous turn as an abusive, glory-hungry surgeon vs the Creature's unexpected gentlenessMia Goth, Christoph Waltz with gold shoes, Charles Dance as the worst dad alive, and why this is a strangely “horny” FrankensteinThat brutal opening on the ice: shattered legs, ship-tipping strength and a monster that just won't dieGenerational trauma, perfectionism and how Victor immediately becomes the same kind of father he hatesThe forest/fairytale stretch: mice, a blind old man, found family, and the heartbreaking deer sceneAll the grisly stuff: hanging bodies, severed limbs, skinned wolves and why the practical sets and make-up look incredibleFrankenstein as an AI / tech parable – creating something powerful, sentient and uncontrollable, then trying to kill itThe big split on the pod: is 2.5 hours richly earned or just too long for a story we already know?Mary Shelley's original novella, written at 18 on a dare, and how its ideas still infect modern thrillers, conspiracy stories and sci-fiIf you like your horror Gothic, your monsters tragic, and your movie chat equal parts thoughtful and filthy, this is a good jumping-on point. Hit play, hear us argue about runtime, thirst over Oscar Isaac, side-eye Mia Goth, and decide for yourself whether this Frankenstein is a modern classic or just an overbuilt monster.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Sticking closer to Mary Shelley's novel than most other adaptations, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is the culmination of a lifelong dream. His vision echoes the gothic maximalism of Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, starring Jacob Elordi as a sympathetic interpretation of Frankenstein's Creature. But does this movie measure up to GDT's past hits? Steffan and Gavia have mixed feelings, delving into the film's characterization choices, production values, and relationship with the novel.

It's a Frankenstein special on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as first Guillermo del Toro and then composer Alexandre Desplat join us to discuss their collaboration on the Netflix reimagining. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz, Frankenstein is a beautiful interpretation of the classic tale, brought to life by Guillermo's characteristic stylistic flair. As ever, Alexandre's score is the perfect compliment.
