On s'intéresse au personnage de Frankenstein, ce savant fou qui est apparu sous la plume de Mary Shelley il y a plus de 200 ans, puisque c'était en 1818, dans le roman Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne. On sait que bien souvent les personnages de fiction sont inspirés de personnalités bien réelles; et j'avais donc envie de savoir si c'était le cas avec le médecin Victor Frankenstein. Il semble que Mary Shelley se soit inspirée de la vie de Johann Conrad DIPPEL, un théologien, alchimiste et médecin allemand, né dans le château Frankenstein en 1673. SOURCES : Si vous avez envie d'aller un peu plus loin dans ce podcast n'hésitez pas à relire Le roman de Mary Shelley ou ses variations qui ont été nombreuses: Jean-Claude Carrière a par exemple écrit entre 1957 et 1959 six romans Frankenstein qui sont censés être la suite de celui du premier livre de Mary Shelley. En 1973 Brian Aldiss a aussi fait paraitre son roman de science-fiction Frankenstein délivré, qui mêle les personnages de Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne — ainsi que Mary Shelley elle-même — il y a une histoire de voyage dans le temps. Et puis L'écrivain André-François Ruaud avec ses essais Les Nombreuses vies de Frankenstein en 2008 et Sur les traces de Frankenstein en 2017 dans lesquels se mêlent fiction littéraire et histoire. Et sinon bien sûr les adaptations cinématographiques dont la première réalisée en 1910 qui est un film muet. Puis le mythique film sorti en 1931 réalisé par James Whale pour Universal Pictures avec Boris Karloff dans le rôle de la créature/ Quelques années sortent les suites La Fiancée de Frankenstein puis Le Fils de Frankenstein. Et enfin plus proche de nous en 1994, Kenneth Branagh a réalisé Frankenstein avec Robert De Niro dans le role du monstre ! Et à noter aussi qu'il y a eu des adaptations plutôt insolites autour de Frankenstein, avec par exemple Frankenstein vs. Baragon (qui mêle le mythe de Frankenstein avec le genre des monstres géants japonais) et qui a été réalisé en 1965 par Ishirō Honda, on a aussi eu droit à Dracula, prisonnier de Frankenstein ou bien encore Les Expériences érotiques de Frankenstein. Et on n'oublie pas le mythique film humour parodique Frankenstein Junior de Mel Brooks sorti en 1974.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

De Jean le prophète à Mad-Max, les récits de fin du monde dans la pop culture et la science-fiction.Une fiction sonore documentée, produite dans le cadre de l'exposition Apocalypse, Hier et demain, à la Bibliothèque nationale de France du 4 février au 8 juin 2025. Dans un futur très lointain, Souviens-toi de l'Apocalypse nous invite à enquêter sur la fin du monde. Grâce à une rencontre inattendue et la découverte d'un manuscrit ancien, cette fiction post-apocalyptique nous révèle comment le Livre de l'Apocalypse a profondément marqué la culture « populaire », à travers les récits de science-fiction, le cinéma, le manga et le jeu vidéo.« Un énorme dragon, rouge feu, avec sept têtes et dix cornes » Dans son Livre de l'Apocalypse, Jean le prophète pose les bases du mythe de la Bête apocalyptique, menace ultime de l'humanité. Elle est la destruction, le mal incarné. Durant le Moyen-Âge, le dragon devient une figure importante des récits épiques mais il n'est pas comparable à ce que Jean avait décrit, et il faut attendre le cinéma et le manga, avec des films tels que Godzilla (Ishirō Honda, 1954) et Akira (Katsuhiro Ōtomo, 1988), et les jeux vidéo tels que World of Warcraft : Cataclysm (Blizzard Entertainment, 2010), pour revoir émerger la véritable Bête apocalyptique, capable de détruire le monde entier.

In this week's Drive-In Double Feature Podcast, Nathan and Ryan dive into the cosmic chaos of Toho's 1970 kaiju flick Space Amoeba (a.k.a. Yog: Monster from Space). Directed by Ishirō Honda, this sci-fi horror spectacle takes us to a remote island where a mysterious extraterrestrial force mutates local wildlife into giant monsters, including a squid, a turtle, and a crab! The hosts discuss the film's special effects, its campy charm, and where it stands in Toho's kaiju legacy. Is this a hidden gem or just another B-movie oddity? Find out as they dissect this island invasion!

Frankenstein's monster is a kaiju?! In one of the weirder entries in Toho's monster canon (localized as Frankenstein Conquers the World), the modern Prometheus is a regenerative caveman-like being born from the atomic bomb who grows to colossal size. Also, an adorable subterranean puppy comes from below to fight him. We talk about the very first collaboration between Toho and American producers, and the resulting conflict among Ishirō Honda's desire to honor the classic Frankenstein story, Toho's desire to make another giant monster movie, and America's desire to have a random octopus for some reason.

It's Hot Ghidorah Summer, and the planet-destroying space dragon king has made his entrance! This is the movie where everything changes: it's cosmic, it's an Avengers-style team-up among Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, and perhaps most importantly, it's the moment Godzilla becomes a hero to cheer for. We talk about this film's shift in philosophy and Ishirō Honda's complicated feelings, along with a Biollante-esque plot that includes psychic prophecies, a Venusian spirit possessing a princess, assassins, and Hiroshi Koizumi being the hottest man to ever rock a yellow raincoat and bucket hat.

The King of the Monsters fights the Eighth Wonder of the World in this massive crossover! The creative team behind the original Godzilla reunited for this fascinating transition movie that's half a meta satire of the corporate television industry, and half a silly wrestling match between two very anthropomorphized kaiju. We talk Ishirō Honda's attempts to make Toho's comedy celebration smarter, Eiji Tsubaraya's octopus obsession, the unfortunate Kong suit design, the VERY unfortunate racism (and its roots in King Kong as a whole), and how this movie changed Godzilla forever.

Directed by Ishirō Honda, this film marks the return of Godzilla as he faces off against the formidable Mechagodzilla. Explore the film's thrilling monster battles, impressive special effects, and the enduring legacy of the Godzilla franchise. Discover the secrets of the sinister organization behind Mechagodzilla and the epic showdown that ensues. Don't miss this action-packed adventure as we unravel the terror and excitement of "Terror of Mechagodzilla."

Godzilla emerged from the sea to devastate Tokyo in the now-classic 1954 film, produced by Tōhō Studios and directed by Ishirō Honda, creating a global sensation and launching one of the world's most successful movie and media franchises. Awakened and transformed by nuclear weapons testing, Godzilla serves as a terrifying metaphor for humanity's shortsighted destructiveness: this was the intent of Shigeru Kayama, the science fiction writer who drafted the 1954 original film and its first sequel and, in 1955, published these novellas. Although the Godzilla films have been analyzed in detail by cultural historians, film scholars, and generations of fans, Kayama's two Godzilla novellas—both classics of Japanese young-adult science fiction—have never been available in English. Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again: The Original Novellas by Shigeru Kayama (U Michigan Press, 2023) finally provides English-speaking fans and critics the original texts with these first-ever English-language translations of Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again. The novellas reveal valuable insights into Kayama's vision for the Godzilla story, feature plots that differ from the films, and clearly display the author's strong antinuclear, proenvironmental convictions. Kayama's fiction depicts Godzilla as engaging in guerrilla-style warfare against humanity, which has allowed the destruction of the natural world through its irresponsible, immoral perversion of science. As human activity continues to cause mass extinctions and rapid climatic change, Godzilla provides a fable for the Anthropocene, powerfully reminding us that nature will fight back against humanity's onslaught in unpredictable and devastating ways. Shigeru Kayama (1904–1975) was a science fiction writer and scenarist whose early stories about monsters and mutated sea creatures attracted the attention of Tōhō Studios, which asked him to draft the first two Godzilla films. Jeffrey Angles is professor of Japanese at Western Michigan University. He is the author of Writing the Love of Boys: Origins of Bishonen Culture in Modernist Japanese Literature (Minnesota, 2011) and the award-winning translator of Orikuchi Shinobu's The Book of the Dead (Minnesota, 2017) and Hiromi Ito's The Thorn Puller. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.
