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.

Coming in at #25 Black Label Trading Company Orthodox Toro. Black Label Trading Company was the first brand founded by James Brown. During the early days of Black Label Trading Company, James Brown built a reputation for bold, dark wrapper brands. However, over the past decade, we have seen Brown emerge as one of the industry's top blenders. At the same time, we've seen him expand well beyond bold and dark wrappers and master a wide range of tobaccos and blends. With Orthodox, this blend shows that while Brown has expanded his horizons, he can still mix bold and dark elements. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-yhn

Jiunn, Seth, John and Aaron discuss their review experience with the Black Label Trading Co. Eletto Toro https://developingpalates.com/reviews/cigar-reviews/team-cigar-review-black-label-trading-co-eletto-toro/
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

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.

We break down Wicked: For Good, discussing the risks and rewards of splitting the beloved musical in two, whether Act Two can live up to expectations, and how the film handles its darker themes. From there, it's on to Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited Frankenstein — a visually rich, emotionally grounded take on the classic monster that puts empathy and tragedy front and centre. Finally, we hit the dystopian arena with Edgar Wright's The Running Man, asking whether this slick reimagining delivers Wright's trademark energy or feels restrained by the source material. Big adaptations, iconic monsters, and modern takes on classic stories — it's a packed episode of films worth arguing about. #NerdToKnowBasis,#Podcast,#PopCulture,#Wicked,#WickedForGood,#Frankenstein,#GuillermoDelToro,#TheRunningMan,#EdgarWright,#MovieReviews,#FilmPodcast,#SciFi,#Fantasy,#GeekCulture

From queue changes to construction walls to nighttime lagoon testing, the parks offer plenty to parse this week. The guys then pivot from the Epic Universe lagoon to Universal's classic monsters, using the buzz around Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein to explore how the 1931 film lurched into existence. Expect lost projects, studio pivots, and a Monster role Bela Lugosi famously refused. NEWS • VelociCoaster ends its single rider line, likely due to party sorting and load-efficiency issues. • Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly shopping DC theme park rights to Universal, raising big questions for Marvel, Six Flags, and international parks. • Removal of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit sparks speculation, though new construction-wall posters suggest general theming rather than a specific IP. • Nighttime testing at the Epic Universe lagoon shows projection effects featuring a bird-or-dragon silhouette. • Universal Studios Hollywood opens sales for FanFest Nights and a late-night New Year's Eve event, prompting questions about noise control before Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift debuts. FEATURE • Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating Frankenstein began as a Universal concept more than a decade ago. • Jim walks through how Universal's early monster era took shape under financial pressure following the 1929 crash. • The studio acquired stage rights to Frankenstein after Dracula's success, initially planning it for Bela Lugosi, who rejected the role. • The episode ends as Universal begins hunting for a new star, eventually leading James Whale to discover Boris Karloff in the studio lunchroom.

Troy and Brad use this opportunity to reflect on the cinematic career of Wes Anderson. Everyone knows Wes has a unique visual, but has he grown as a filmmaker? Is he just doing the Wes Anderson thing? The hosts find themselves battling with their initial thoughts and The Phoenician Scheme provided plenty for them to chew on. But hey, most importantly the guys are able to talk about Richard Ayoade AKA Dean Learner from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace so maybe The Phoenician Scheme is the greatest film ever made for that simply fact.The Phoenician Scheme is directed by Wes Anderson and stars Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Rix Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amairic, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Rupert FriendAdditionally, Troy and Brad discuss Kill Bill: The Whole Affair as a bonus.Want to help support the show?

This week, Nigel and Tazziii dive deep into Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (starting at 31:40), with guests Sky Tunley-Stainton from Safe in our World and comic creator Pigeon.Del Toro's darker retelling of the classic tale brings stop-motion craftsmanship and new emotional depth to Carlo Collodi's original story.

Rebecca chats with Jacob Elordi, who plays the creature in Guillermo del Toro's moving film. He reveals how he prepared for the unique role, his biggest concerns with the hours-long prosthetics process, and why it was, in a way, a religious experience. "I suppose maybe it takes a mask sometimes for people to see the truth of something," he says of his experience. Plus. the Australian actor talks about filming the third season of Euphoria, and reflects on how his career has transformed since the first season of HBO's hit series. Finally, he reveals why he hates talking about AI -- and would rather be kissing on the beach. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Anyway, we're talking about Guillermo del Toro's beautiful new Frankenstein adaptation featuring more than one of BSG's Favorite Actors™ – and we're joined by husband of the pod, Todd! The Squad discusses some greatest hits of the people-playing-god genre, why this story is adapted so frequently, what makes this adaptation special (ahem, it's Oscar Isaac), the costumes and performances, and of course, narcissistic parents. We also discover that while Todd teaches this novel, he doesn't know which edition he teaches, and his main point of reference for this story is Young Frankenstein. Good for you, Todd.

This week, our cinematic buddies tackle Guillermo del Toro's latest masterpiece: the new Frankenstein film currently streaming on Netflix. It's a movie he wanted to make since he was 8 years old, and we explore how this master of dark genre handled the classic Mary Shelley story.Dori and Kpolly discuss the film's unexpected body-horror elements and how it manages to balance the unsettling effects with a powerful focus on the humanity of the creature. You'll also learn about the creature's casting evolution — from initial plans for Doug Jones and Benedict Cumberbatch to the final role played by Jacob Elordi — and how del Toro's choices shaped his take on the original story.Stick around until the end for our hosts' latest recommendations, including Being Eddie, the new documentary about comedy legend Eddie Murphy. And don't forget to join Cinebuds at the Oriental Theatre at 7 p.m. this Thursday, Dec. 11, for a screening of the holiday classic Scrooged followed by a LIVE taping of the podcast!#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.
We've all seen Frankenstein by now and those who have seen it in the theater (hi!) have no doubt shamed those who watched on Netflix, but we can all agree that the film is GORGEOUS and we no doubt found ourselves confusingly (or maybe not so confusingly) attracted to The Creature. In this episode, Prosthetic Designer Mike Hill talks in delightful detail about every detail of the creation and evolution of The Creature and explains how Jacob Elordi, Guillermo del Toro and more all collaborated to bring this work of art to life.

The guys dissect Guillermo del Toro's passion project, Frankenstein. Michael recommends two under-the-radar 2025 films, Joe explores Finnish action cinema, and Jared returns to a maligned flop from last year.
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?

Jamey joins Gene and Roger to talk about this Guillermo del Toro retelling of Frankenstein.
In del Toro's reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic tale, we are (re)introduced to Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who believes that he has the power to create life through his experiments. However, his quest soon turns to an all-consuming obsession. After his work finally offers results, his relationship with his 'monster'' reveals the darkest pieces of his soul, leading to a journey that threatens to undo his entire world (and that of his creation as well). This week, Nick Van Dinther ( @bitesizebreakdown ) & Dio Neto return to talk about the making of monsters and the dark corners of humanity.
Recorded in the middle of Bitcoin Month, this episode brings together Knut Svanholm, Giacomo Zucco, Mike Peterson, and Jethro Toro in El Zonte, El Salvador. They unpack what it feels like to live through Bitcoin Historico at the National Palace San Salvador, Adopting Bitcoin in San Salvador, and the Bitcoin Beach Festival on the coast. From free pupusas and packed plazas to barefoot plebs and kids everywhere, you get a ground-level view of why El Salvador still feels like Bitcoin Country after the El Salvador legal tender law and why so many Bitcoiners keep coming back.The crew shared the story everyone asks about, their surreal invitation to a formal dinner with President Bukele. Giacomo explains how he gifted a bottle of Dictador rum, they talk about Bukele's quick jokes about Libertarian anarchism and public sector jobs, and they explain what was actually discussed about Bitcoin adoption, circular economy experiments, and bottom-up projects like Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Berlin. It is not a press release, it is what it felt like for plebs and authors like Knut Svanholm and educators like Giacomo Zucco to suddenly find themselves at a presidential table with Max Keiser & Stacy Herbert and other Bitcoin builders.They also go deep on the work behind the scenes. Mike Peterson shares an update on Bitcoin Beach and the push to launch at least 14 new circular economy projects across El Salvador, plus the new Bitcoin-themed boutique hotel, the Citadel of Hope, and a pickleball court in Punta Mango. Giacomo walks through the three pillars of Plan B Network, global Bitcoin education like Cubo Plus and Node Nation, physical hubs in places such as Lugano, London, and future hubs in San Salvador, and an emerging Bitcoin venture path and startup support. Along the way, they touch on the IMF pressure, how the government stayed committed through bear markets after El Salvador, legal tender went live, and why ideas like Libertarian socialism still get a fair hearing in off-the-record debates.Running through the episode is the culture piece. Knut talks about his books, the Bitcoin Infinity framing, his talks at Bitcoin Historico inside the National Palace San Salvador, and why Adopting Bitcoin feels more like a festival than a standard conference. The group tells the origin story of Satoshi Rokamoto, the improvised Bitcoin rock band that now shows up at events from Mexico to Lugano, often playing long after the sound crew tries to shut things down. If you care about Bitcoin in El Salvador, circular economy models, or just want to know what it is really like on the ground during Bitcoin Month, this conversation will probably make you start checking flights.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a Bitcoiner who has El Salvador on their list, leave a comment with your favorite story from Bitcoin Month, and hit subscribe so you do not miss the next chapter of Bitcoin Country.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Giacomo, Knut, Jethro:Giacomo ZuccoX: https://x.com/giacomozucco Web: https://www.giacomozucco.com/ Knut SvanholmX: https://x.com/knutsvanholm YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinInfinityShow Jethro ToroX: https://x.com/JethroToro Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: Live From Bitcoin Beach
Papa, Hans, and Harry have a lot to say about two films that recently dropped on Netflix: Train Dreams and Guillermo de Toro's Frankenstein.
On this week's episode, Sonny, Peter, and Alyssa discuss James Cameron's interview with Matt Belloni and his take on the state of the industry. (You can listen to part one of that interview here and part two here.) Then they discuss Guillermo del Toro's new adaptation of Frankenstein. It's a beautiful movie, lovingly crafted and exquisitely designed … yet one that undercuts the point of the book through the characterization of the monster and a performance by Jacob Elordi that occasionally feels as though it's channeling a classic Ben Stiller character. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend! Sharing is caring, as they say.
It seems like Guillermo del Toro's whole career has been leading up to Frankenstein. Part of that progression has been building a great trust with the sound team he has been collaborating with for over a decade. Supervising sound editors Nathan Robitaille & Nelson Ferreira, Re-recording Mixer Brad Zoern and foley artist Goro Koyama join me for this episode to discuss working on their biggest del Toro film yet. From designing the voice of the creature, to making all the guns sound huge (but certain ones sound even bigger!?) to the difficulty of making chains sound heavy, they discuss how challenging this film was. Including creating the sounds for their version of the iconic scene where the creature comes to life.__________ SPONSORS: This Cyber Monday, Sound Ideas is offering an incredible opportunity for audio professionals.
