Frankenstein (2025) is Netflix's upcoming adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, directed by Guillermo del Toro. In this video, we break down everything currently known about the 2025 Frankenstein movie, including story details, cast, themes, and how this version differs from past adaptations.Guillermo del Toro has described Frankenstein as a deeply personal project, focusing more on tragedy, obsession, and humanity than traditional horror. But with Netflix handling distribution and expectations already high, this adaptation faces serious pressure to stand apart from decades of Frankenstein movies.Donate Here - https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=Y6TSU94STL9PUAll our Links - https://direct.me/theundergroundWhat is our Value for Value System?Value for Value is a listener based business model where you determine the value our content is worth.

Hva er likheten mellom Lily Allens snakkisalbum West End Girl og Sigrid Undset, Sylvia Plath, Miranda July og Mary Shelley?Den britiske popartisten Lily Allens skilsmissealbum West End Girl har skapt storm siden det kom i oktober, så til de grader at vi nå befinner oss i en såkalt «West End Girl Winter».De fjorten sangene forteller om eksmannen og Stranger Things-skuespilleren David Harbours svik og parets påfølgende skilsmisse, i et brutalt og selvransakende oppgjør med tiden de hadde sammen og med samfunnets forestillinger om den moderne kvinnen. I musikkens verden er oppbruddsplater en lang tradisjon, og Allen selv har omtalt albumet som autofiksjon – fiksjon tett knyttet til egne erfaringer.Forfatter og litteraturprofessor Janne Stigen Drangsholt mener derimot at albumet ikke enkelt kan leses som et stykke virkeligheteslitteratur, og vil i dette foredraget heller trekke linjer mellom Allen og forfattere som Mary Shelley, Virginia Woolf, Sigrid Undset, Sylvia Plath og popmusikkens Taylor Swift. Hva har alle disse til felles? Finnes egentlig den moderne kvinnen?Litteraturliste fra foredraget:W. H. Auden – «Letter to Lord Byron» (1937)Jane Austen – Pride and Prejudice (1813) Zygmunt Bauman – Liquid Modernity (2000)Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre (1847)Emily BrontëSabrina CarpenterCharles DarwinFriedrich EngelsWilliam Godwin Ted HughesMiranda July – All Fours (2024)Immanuel KantKarl MarxJohn Stuart Mill – The Subjection of Women (1869)Toril Moi – «Kjærlighetstortur.

Året går på hæld, og i denne uge laver vi den store opgørelse over årets popkulturelle øjeblikke. 2025 har været et år, der insisterede på at være dramatisk. Det var året, hvor et røveri på Louvre blev et symbol på længslen efter ganske almindelig Olsen-Banden-kriminalitet og ikke usynlige tyve, der stjæler vores intellektuelle ejendom og kværner det igennem den kunstige intelligens. Året, hvor Charli XCX fejrede cigaretbryllupper ikke én, men to gange, som om hun ville minde os om, at selviscenesættelsen er blevet vores tids egen røgmaskine. Og så var 2025 året, hvor Donald Trump pustede endnu mere til polariseringen og fremmedfjenskheden, men hvor en selverklæret socialist og tidligere rapper alligevel vandt borgmesterposten i New York. Alt dette og meget mere taler vi om i dette afsnit af Poptillægget, hvor vi også forsøger at holde fast i håbet for næste år. PANEL Bodil Skovgaard Nielsen, skribent på Information. Anbefaling: Se serien ‘I love LA’. Felix Thorsen Katzenelson, forfatter og journalist på Politiken. Læs bøgerne ‘En hverdag er det eneste, der kan holde et hus ved lige’ af Inger Christine Løwe og ‘Skyerne’ af Sigrid Adamsson. Emma Holten, forfatter og foredragsholder. Dyrk menneskeskabte værker som modstykke til AI - fx ‘Jullerup Færgeby’. Vært: Lucia Odoom.

For our November topic – coming just in time for the start of December – we celebrate the release of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein with a three-part retrospective on one of the most famous stories in the English language. First, we take a look at the original 1818 novel by Mary Shelley – which has been one of Sean's favorite books, but was new to Jonathan – and celebrate its tremendous accomplishments, all of which still feel revelatory today. Then we talk about the classic 1931 Universal movie, directed by James Whale and starring Boris Karloff, which doesn't take much from the book, but establishes much of the story's endearing iconography. And finally, we give a full review of the brand new version, directed by the inimitable Guillermo del Toro, who leave his own original stamp on the material in ways that are very much worth discussing. Enjoy! TIME CHART:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:19:29The Novel: 0:19:29 – 1:27:22The 1931 Film: 1:27:22 – 1:56:35The 2025 Film: 1:56:35 – 3:12:26  Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://japanimationstation.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels!

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.

Quick life updates: high-school theater, travel baseball insanity, and holiday retail chaos. Main Reviews Frankenstein (Netflix, dir. Guillermo del Toro) A gorgeous, heartbreaking, Bernie Wrightson-inspired adaptation that's the closest anyone has come to Mary Shelley's novel. Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi are phenomenal; the creature has never been this human or tragic. Minor gripes about length and a forced romance, but still the best Frankenstein film ever made. House of Eden (Shutter) Mega-TikToker KallMeKhris writes, directs, and stars in her found-footage debut. Three content creators investigate a "secret" haunted house.

It's Monday, November 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists abducted 300 Catholic students and staff Muslim terrorists abducted 315 Catholic students and staff from St. Mary's School in the northern region of Nigeria on Friday, reports International Christian Concern.  Those kidnapped include 303 students and 12 teachers. It's one of the worst kidnappings in the nation's history, which has tragically become a flashpoint for persecution against Catholics and Protestants. No doubt many of them are echoing the prayer of Psalm 141:1-2 where David wrote, “I call to You, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like incense.” Back in 2014, Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, seized 276 Chibok schoolgirls. In addition, the Islamic State West Africa Province and Fulani Muslim herdsmen have also wreaked havoc on the West African country. The Trump administration, which designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, has recently pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Catholics and Protestants. During the past 20 years, Nigerian Muslims have killed 50,000 Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands more. Shawn Wright, the new president of International Christian Concern, issued an urgent call to action. To the government of Nigeria, he called officials to: Deploy specialized rescue forces immediately and recover the abducted Christians without delay. Strengthen protection for Christian institutions. Address underlying persecution. And to the United States government, Shawn Wright called officials to: Immediately enact tougher economic sanctions against Nigeria. leverage assistance to Nigeria based on results. Support civil society and Christian groups in Nigeria. Use diplomatic influence there. Wright said, “When children are hauled from their dormitories, when …  teachers are terrorized, when entire communities live in the shadow of fear — silence is complicity.” Former Brazilian President arrested ahead of vigil to prevent escape Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, hours before a vigil was to be held outside his residence, reports One America News. On Saturday, the former president's period of house arrest ended after having been confined since August for violating a ban on the use of social media. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, posted a video on Friday calling for a vigil in front of his father's condominium where Javier was under house arrest. Flavio said, “I invite you to fight with us.” Brazil's Supreme Court ruled that the planned vigil could “cause serious harm to public order,” and potentially prevent Bolsonaro from being arrested or enable his “escape.” Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that Bolsonaro violated his ankle monitor early Saturday morning. President Donald Trump, a long-term ally of Bolsonaro, denounced the charges against the former Brazilian leader as politically motivated, calling it a “witch hunt.” He imposed a 50% tariff on United States imports of Brazilian goods in response, which Trump began to roll back this month following a meeting with current President Luiz da Silva. Canadian pork producer objects to unlabeled lab-grown meat One of Canada's largest organic pork producers says the public deserves clear labelling, and a real choice before cloned meat hits supermarket shelves, reports Rebel News. Normally, experimental items like this fall under Canada's novel foods category, requiring a thorough pre-market safety assessment. This framework mandates that developers provide detailed data on production, contaminants, allergens, toxins, and nutrition. Health Canada reviews typically take about 410 days. However, Health Canada quietly released a statement on November 13th concluding, based on "all available information" and "scientific opinion," that foods from lab-grown clones of healthy cattle and swine are as safe as those from traditionally bred animals. This lab-grown meat has rightly been dubbed “franken-beef” like Frankenstein, the grotesque humanoid character, created in the imagination of Mary Shelley in 1818, who was put together using different body parts from fresh graves and vaults of skeletal remains. Health Canada has innocuously labeled the lab-grown meat as “cellular agriculture.” Proverbs 12:22 says, “The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Tamara Ugolini of Rebel News offered this warning to Canadians. UGOLINI: “Health Canada has decided there's no meaningful difference between lab-grown, cloned meat and real life grown meat. So, no labels, no warnings, and, once again, no transparency from the agency allegedly dedicated to regulatory openness and transparency.” Vincent Breton, a legitimate live pork producer, said, “Consumers should have the right to decide for themselves whether they are going to buy genetically modified foods.” Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after clash with Trump Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Make America Great Again firebrand who rose to prominence as a combative supporter of President Donald Trump, announced late Friday she is resigning from Congress after a public feud with him, reports Politico.com. Greene, who was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district, made the surprise announcement in an 11-minute video address. She cited her willingness to oppose the Democratic agenda which was costly on a personal level. GREENE: “I have fought against Democrats' damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly, unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women. With that has brought years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a single day.” She also noted the handful of differences she had with President Trump. GREENE: “I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, like my stance against H-1B replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life-50-year-mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the president. “Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interests because our job title is literally Representative.'” Congresswoman Greene highlighted her disagreement with President Trump over the Epstein files. GREENE: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.” She did not want to go through a bruising Republican primary in the spring. GREENE: “I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, and, in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.” That's what led to her surprise resignation announcement. GREENE: “I'll be resigning from office, with my last day being January, 5, 2026.” Stray mutt gets award for comforting families after school shooting And finally, a stray mutt that turned into a service dog, soothing kids after a school shooting, has just been crowned the 2025 Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Society, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Sgt. Bo, the mixed breed from Nashville, Tennessee, may have started as a stray, but after being rescued off the streets of Florida in 2022, and trained for 12 weeks by prisoners in Brevard County, the four-year-old mutt became a certified therapy dog with the Nashville Police Department. Just three months into his service with Officer Faye Okert, tragedy struck when a transgender killed three students and three teachers at the city's Covenant School. Sgt. Bo was called to help comfort children and families at the reunification site—climbing onto buses, letting shaken students rest against him, and staying until the last family left. Since then, he has continued visiting schools across the community, helping kids open up, easing anxiety, and reminding everyone that healing can come from the most unexpected places.

In this episode, I turn to the Romantics as guides for a world coming apart, viewing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a protest against a mechanistic worldview that devalues feeling. Some questions that emerge from this journey are:   What do we do when technology outpaces our moral framework? Just because we're able to do something, should we? What responsibilities do we incur when we create a new form of life?  Are we repeating Frankenstein's mistake when we build systems and then disclaim any obligation to the creatures we have released onto the world?

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!

Mary Shelley did not crawl out of the fog one night holding Frankenstein; rather she was born into a political and philosophical pressure cooker. Her mother wanted to tear gender roles out by the roots, her father thought government was a rigged scam, and her childhood house was full of banned books, radical houseguests, and casual corpse reanimation talk over dinner. Out of bad husbands, laudanum summers, and a “waking dream” of a creator who refuses to love his creation, she built the monster that became the blueprint for modern sci fi. This episode walks into the real laboratory behind Frankenstein and asks who the true monsters are: the Creature, or the brilliant people who made him and walked away.

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.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025) is a visually stunning adaptation of the original novel by Mary Shelley. Del Toro turns the well known horror story of Frankenstein into a romantic, emotionally absorbing fairy tale. He softens the grotesqueness of The Creature by giving him tenderness and benevolence, angling the perspective to heighten audiences' sense of compassion and even relatability toward an individual who does not earn the abandonment and cruelty given to him.
