Send us a textA stitched body, a sharpened mind, and a creator who won't claim what he made. We dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix with fresh eyes and full hearts, exploring how the film restores Mary Shelley's original genius while reshaping a century of monster-movie expectations. From the icebound framing device to the creature's own testimony, the story gives the “monster” his voice back—and with it, a moral authority that turns the tables on Victor.We talk about the texture of creation: the unsettling, hyper-real gore that makes every cut feel consequential, and the cinematography tricks that make key encounters float with eerie grace. Oscar Isaac's Victor is magnetic and cold, driven by ambition he can't control, while Jacob Elordi's creature evolves from bewildered newborn to eloquent judge, his slender, powerful frame reading as reassembled personhood instead of prop. Mia Goth's Elizabeth cuts through the gloom with presence that grounds the stakes. We also trace Del Toro's love of cinema history, from the inclusion of an Igor archetype to the blend of gothic realism that separates his style from the baroque and the camp.The heart of the episode is the ethics: What do we owe what we create? If the creature is functionally immortal, does denying him a companion become the cruelest act? We follow the thread of generational harm—from Victor's father to Victor himself—and the way indifference breeds monstrosity more reliably than lightning ever could. It's not a perfect film; the pacing stretches in places. But the ideas, performances, and design make this a rare adaptation that feels both faithful and new.If you love smart horror, literary roots, and craft on screen, hit play.

Ryan and Dylan review Guillermo Del Toro's highly anticipated adaptation of Mary Shelley's masterpiece, Frankenstein. Will the film revive the original story and bring it new life, or will it be a messy, stitched patchwork deemed unfit to exist?
Frankenstein is a 2025 American Gothic science fiction film produced, written, and directed by Guillermo del Toro, based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz in supporting roles. The story follows the life of Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences.Del Toro had long imagined a faithful Frankenstein film as a "dream project". This was initially in development for Universal Pictures, with del Toro casting frequent collaborator Doug Jones as the Creature, and Bernie Wrightson being considered for the monster's design. However, Universal suspended the project in relation to its planned Dark Universe franchise. Netflix revived the project in 2023, with Elordi instead portraying the Creature. Filming took place from February to September 2024. Wrightson had died in 2017, and the illustrated compilation Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein was a key inspiration for the film's look.Frankenstein premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 30, 2025. It had a limited theatrical release in the United States from October 17 and was globally released on November 7 on Netflix. The film received generally positive reviews from critics. Both the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute named it as one of the top ten films of 2025. It received five nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Dirigida por Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, Cruce de caminos), Roofman: un ladrón en el tejado se inspira en hechos reales para reconstruir la insólita historia de Jeffrey Manchester, un delincuente meticuloso y casi invisible que logró robar decenas de restaurantes accediendo por los tejados y ocultándose en falsos techos. Protagonizada por Channing Tatum, junto a Kirsten Dunst y Ben Mendelsohn, la película transita con soltura entre el thriller y la comedia negra, evitando la idealización del criminal para centrarse en su ingenio, su soledad y la fascinación mediática que despierta su figura. Cianfrance imprime un tono ligero y melancólico a la vez, convirtiendo el relato de robos en un retrato de la América invisible, donde el talento y la obsesión se confunden con la necesidad de desaparecer. Min 15: FRONTERA (2,5 estrellas) Frontera, dirigida por Judith Colell (Elisa K, Nosotras), es un poderoso thriller histórico que recupera un episodio apenas contado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde la perspectiva española: en 1943, cuando miles de judíos huían de la represión nazi por los Pirineos, un funcionario de aduanas con pasado republicano interpretado por Miki Esparbé, junto a María Rodríguez Soto y Asier Etxeandía, se enfrenta a la orden de bloquear su paso y decide, contra todo pronóstico y bajo constante riesgo, ayudarles a cruzar la frontera hacia una esperanza de libertad, desafiando al régimen franquista y poniendo en juego la seguridad de su familia y su pueblo. Min 22: REY DE REYES (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por el cineasta surcoreano Jang Seong-ho, Rey de Reyes es una ambiciosa película de animación coproducida entre Corea del Sur y Estados Unidos que reinterpreta la vida de Jesucristo a partir de La vida de Nuestro Señor, el cuento que Charles Dickens escribió para su hijo, combinando respeto por el texto original con una puesta en escena épica y accesible al público familiar. Con las voces protagonistas de Oscar Isaac como Jesús, junto a Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman y Mark Hamill, la película articula un relato clásico apoyado en un cuidado apartado visual que mezcla sensibilidad oriental y espectacularidad occidental, poniendo el acento en valores universales como la compasión, el sacrificio y la redención. Min 27: BALEARIC (2 estrellas) Dirigida por Ion de Sosa (Sueñan los androides, Mamántula), Balearic es una arriesgada fábula cinematográfica que mezcla drama, suspense y crítica social dentro de una narración que transcurre en la víspera de San Juan, cuando un grupo de adolescentes —interpretados por Lara Gallo, Elías Hwidar, Ada Tormo y Paula Gala— decide colarse en la piscina de una lujosa villa y acaba atrapado por tres feroces perros que desatan un espiral de tensión. Min 29: LA VIDA FUERA (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por Mario Martone (Leopardi, Il giovane favoloso), La vida fuera (Fuori) es un drama biográfico que reconstruye con delicadeza y pasión la vida de la escritora Goliarda Sapienza, interpretada por Valeria Golino, acompañada por Matilda De Angelis, Elodie y Corrado Fortuna, en un relato que transcurre en la Roma de 1980 y se centra en la detención de Sapienza tras un acto impulsivo, su paso por prisión y el profundo vínculo que forja con jóvenes reclusas que cambiarán su visión sobre la vida y la escritura, empujándola a recuperar la alegría de vivir y el impulso creativo que la definió como una de las voces literarias más originales de Italia. Min 32: FRAGMENTOS (2,5 estrellas) Fragmentos es un drama psicológico rodado íntegramente en Lanzarote que explora las grietas emocionales de una familia contemporánea a través de la mirada introspectiva de Emma Suárez, en el papel de una madre cuya vida aparentemente estable se resquebraja tras un accidente que la obliga a enfrentarse a sus recuerdos, duelos no resueltos y relaciones tensas con su entorno. Min 34: REESTRENO DE LOS GOONIES. 40 aniversario Con motivo de su 40º aniversario, Los Goonies —la entrañable aventura juvenil dirigida por Richard Donner y producida por Steven Spielberg, protagonizada por Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton y un inolvidable reparto de jóvenes intérpretes— regresa a las salas en un reestreno que celebra la vigencia de una película que se ha convertido en objeto de culto generacional. MIn 40: LA PELI DE TU VIDA, CON PEDRO CENJOR Y hoy en la peli de tu vida, cedemos el altavoz de Estamos de Cine a otro directo de la tierra. Este experimentado, toledano, miembro de la Asociación de productores Audiovisuales de CLM, con los que estuvimos hace una semana en Madrid para apoyar las posibles candidatos de nuestra comunidad de cara a los próximos Goya. Es Pedro Cenjor, que ha debutado en el largo este mismo año con La Boda...con Elena Furiase, Daniel Chamorro o Antonio Dechent. En plena Gran Vía, en la oficina de Promoción Turística de CLM, nos desvelaba por qué "Los Inúticos", de Federico Fellini, del año 1953, es el título que marcó su amor por el cine. Min 41: BSO ESPECIAL CENTENARIO DE JACK LEMMON La sección BSO de esta semana se convierte en un viaje muy especial para celebrar el centenario de Jack Lemmon, uno de los actores imprescindibles de la historia del cine. A través de un recorrido musical por su filmografía, repasamos algunas de las bandas sonoras más emblemáticas asociadas a sus películas, deteniéndonos en títulos tan representativos como Mr. Roberts, Días de vino y rosas, Irma la dulce, La extraña pareja o El apartamento. Un homenaje sonoro que permite redescubrir no solo la versatilidad interpretativa de Lemmon, sino también cómo la música acompañó y definió el tono de una carrera que supo moverse con brillantez entre la comedia, el drama y la sátira, y que sigue resonando con fuerza cien años después.

This week, we review Frankenstein (2025), Guillermo del Toro's gothic science‑fiction re‑imagination of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Oscar Isaac stars as the brilliant but egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi plays the Creature—his tragic creation. The story follows Victor's ambition to conquer death, the creation of a being born of his experiment, and the profound consequences that follow. With lush visual design, emotional depth and philosophical undertones about creation, responsibility and the nature of life, the film raises questions about what it means to play god and who truly pays the price.Is it a monster‑movie for the ages or a myth revisited with bittersweet elegance?

It's the dead of winter, so what better time to watch the frostiest of music movies - in every sense? Set in a bitterly cold early '60s New York, the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis sees Oscar Isaac's titular folk singer getting the cold shoulder wherever he goes, whether it's from his volcanically angry ex, played by Carey Mulligan, or the strange hand of fate itself.This week, Joe from Dreaming Machine rejoins the show to decide whether this is one of the Coens' sad funny movies or one of their funny sad movies, as well as dissecting the film's real-life inspirations, the response it got from veterans of the real-life 1960s NY folk scene, and its supporting turns from Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver.

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.

Bill (fighting a brutal cold) and Chris are back, drowning in 2025 horror releases and already behind schedule. 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. Unfortunately it's a greatest-hits compilation of Blair Witch/Paranormal Activity tropes, riddled with continuity errors, shaky-cam abuse, and unlikable characters.

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!

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.

It's a tale as old as time… well, as old as 1818 at least, since that's when Mary Shelley's novel was first published. And after multiple film adaptations, Guillermo del Toro is now putting his stamp on this classic monster story. Tune in as we're joined by Philip Faiss, host of Netflix & Phil, to break down Netflix's “Frankenstein” — from the many different layers behind this narrative, to the ways del Toro changed the source material, and of course, how Jacob Elordi can be sexy even as The Creature.Check out Netflix & Phil on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@philoween_trends
Editor - Evan Schiff ACE Frankenstein editor Evan Schiff ACE first began his journey as an assistant editor on Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth (2006). Over the next, nearly two decades, Evan would establish himself as an action movie editor to be reckoned with. He would flex his cutting chops on films like John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) and Bob Odenkirk's action debut, Nobody (2021). Evan would also drop by the MCU to cut The Marvels (2023). But to hear Evan tell it, it was hardly his skills as an action editor that would prompt Del Toro to hire his former assistant editor to cut Frankenstein. Produced, written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, and based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. The film follows the life of egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences when his monstrous creation comes to life. EVAN SCHIFF ACE (In Evan's own words...) Originally from Syracuse, NY, I started my career in the film industry at the age of 16, between my junior and senior years of high school, with an internship at Stan Winston Studio (now Legacy EFX). After graduating from high school and being accepted into USC's film production program, SWS hired me back to do tech support as their Systems Administrator and eventually their in-house VFX Editor. I worked there part-time for all four years of college and full-time for one year after. While at USC, I got bit by the editing bug. I found that, even more than creature or visual effects, I loved sitting in the editing bay for hours on end putting my student films together. So a year after graduation, and five years after starting my job at Stan Winston's, I started to pursue editing full-time. It was slow at first, but eventually I got my first few jobs as an assistant editor, and things took off from there.

Synopsis Honestly if you don't know what Frankenstein is about, I don't know why you're listening to a horror movie podcast. Review I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this, but I tried to stay away from as many spoilers as possible, as if this story could really be spoiled. Del Toro does add some new elements to the classic tale, some might say maybe too many new elements. Some might say that. I'm not saying it. But some might. It is kind of long. This movie is beautifully shot, albeit sometimes you can tell it was Made For Streaming (cough cough why is the sunlight in my face cough cough), but for the most part it's colorful, playful, and imaginative, with backdrops and settings that match the incredible costumes. Mia Goth looks ethereal in all of her elaborate gowns, veils, and feathers. Her wedding dress deserves its own moment of silence. The bandaged look around her arms? So major. The costumes tell their own stories, and they do a wonderful job at that. Oscar Isaac gets hotter every time I see him in a movie. Don't know how he manages that but he manages it well. Even though he's pretty evil in this he still looks good. Jacob Elordi does an amazing job as the Creature, he proves himself time and time again, with physical and emotional acting. He captivates and intrigues. He shines.The story is good, it is a bit hammed up at times and Del Toro is quite heavy handed; so much so that it feels like being hit in the head with a hammer. Yes, I understand the story you're trying to tell Mr. Del Toro, thank you for making sure I do. Also not a big fan of the narration aspect, don't think it added much to the story. I really could have done without the Danish sailors in their entirety and this would have been a lot better. Christoph Waltz was a pleasant surprise, although his character has little to no narrative impact. I always enjoy seeing him on screen but I felt as though he was a little pointless. All in all I really had a good time watching this. It's compelling, emotional, gorgeous, and thrilling. And God Damn You Netflix For A Limited Theatrical Release. Score 8/10

There is a mysticism that covers Latin America. Stories of monsters, spirits, and tales of dark family secrets. Sure, it sounds like a telenovela, but literature calls it Gothic: tales that frighten and force us to confront our fears. Now, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has reimagined the classic gothic story “Frankenstein.” But this time with a Latin American twist. Del Toro’s adaptation features catholic imagery, long stares into the camera, and Guatemalan-born Hollywood superstar Oscar Isaac. Oscar gets into the film, the state of the country, and why he dropped Hernandez from his stage name. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is a new reimagining of Mary Shelly's classic gothic horror tale about a misunderstood monster who's abandoned by his creator and shunned by society. Oscar Isaac is the narcissistic doctor Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi has a gargantuan yet humanizing turn as The Creature. Now streaming on Netflix, Frankenstein is dark, epic, and preoccupied with the existential dread of life and death.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
