Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating passion project, Frankenstein, is here. Perhaps one of the famed Mexican filmmaker's greatest influences, Mary Shelley's horrifying creature once again graces the big screen, this time with del Toro's signature, gothic sensibilities. We discuss the monster's history, its many adaptations, and review its latest incarnation.
Publicado pela primeira vez em 1818 pela jovem Mary Shelley, Frankenstein se tornou uma das maiores obras-primas da literatura de horror e ficção científica. Nesse tempo, a história do cientista inconsequente que ousa desafiar a morte foi transportada inúmeras vezes para o cinema. Em 2025, após muita espera, foi a vez do cineasta Guillermo del Toro apresentar sua versão deste clássico, acompanhado por nomes badalados como Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi e Mia Goth. No RdMCast dessa semana, nossa bancada viaja até o laboratório de Victor Frankenstein para conversar sobre essa aguardada adaptação.

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.

Continuing Old Spook Lane Creepy Chats' theme of spooky stop motion animated films, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2012 Disney animated film Frankenweenie co-written and directed by Tim Burton. Based on the 1984 short film of the same name, a young boy named Victor Frankenstein is devastated that his best friend, a dog named Sparky, was killed by a car. When learning about electrical impulses from science class, Victor decides to conduct an experiment bringing Sparky back from the dead. While succeeding, he has to keep it hidden from his family, neighbors, and classmates. But it won't be easy, especially one classmate who wishes to use the same tactic to raise his pet fish from the dead to win the school science fair.When the film premiered in theaters, it made $81 million dollars out of a $31 million dollar budget receiving decent reviews from critics and fans, but has since been forgotten due to other animated films like Wreck-it-Ralph and Paranorman being released in the same year. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film?

Coy Jandreau & Aaron Alexander react to Frankenstein (2025) — director Guillermo del Toro's epic adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. This Gothic-science-fiction spectacle stars Oscar Isaac as the obsessed scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi as the haunting and tragic Creature. Supporting performances include Mia Goth as Elizabeth Harlander, and Christoph Waltz as the sinister patron Henrich Harlander. In this tale set in 1857 Europe, Frankenstein's experiment to fuse life from death spirals into a tragedy of ambition, identity and the monstrous consequences of creation. From the chilling lab resurrection scene, to the Creature's learning to speak, to the freezing Arctic ship finale, the film delivers moments of awe, dread and deep emotion. Stand-out and highly searched moments include the storm-lit reanimation sequence, the Creature's discovery of language and reading, the lab fire and betrayal of William Frankenstein, and the dramatic ice-bound ship confrontation. With del Toro's signature visual flair, a sweeping score by Alexandre Desplat, and a bold retelling of one of literature's longest-told myths, Frankenstein (2025) offers both monster spectacle and emotional depth.

Gu... With GDT's latest opus making its Netflix debut after a limited theatrical run to close out the Halloween season, Coy & Aaron REUNITE to give their Frankenstein Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Coy Jandreau & Aaron Alexander react to Frankenstein (2025) — director Guillermo del Toro's epic adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. This Gothic-science-fiction spectacle stars Oscar Isaac as the obsessed scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi as the haunting and tragic Creature. Supporting performances include Mia Goth as Elizabeth Harlander, and Christoph Waltz as the sinister patron Henrich Harlander. In this tale set in 1857 Europe, Frankenstein's experiment to fuse life from death spirals into a tragedy of ambition, identity and the monstrous consequences of creation. From the chilling lab resurrection scene, to the Creature's learning to speak, to the freezing Arctic ship finale, the film delivers moments of awe, dread and deep emotion. Stand-out and highly searched moments include the storm-lit reanimation sequence, the Creature's discovery of language and reading, the lab fire and betrayal of William Frankenstein, and the dramatic ice-bound ship confrontation. With del Toro's signature visual flair, a sweeping score by Alexandre Desplat, and a bold retelling of one of literature's longest-told myths, Frankenstein (2025) offers both monster spectacle and emotional depth.

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

I denne uge ser vi filmen før vi læser bogen, og filmen vi skal snakke om er Frankenstein, oprindeligt en roman af Mary Shelley, der udkom i 1818 og som er blevet filmatiseret og fortolket på alle mulige måder og lige nu kan ses som Netflix film i Guillermo del Toros version. I Del Toros version bliver monstret portræteret som en melankolsk og inderlig karakter i skikkelse af høje smukke Jacob Elordi, mens danske skuespillere fremviser deres modersmål overfor en dødssyg Oscar Isaac i rollen som den gale videnskabsmand Victor Frankenstein. Filmen har kostet 800 millioner kroner - men er den virkelig det værd? Panelet leverer en yderst kritisk, inderlig og dejlig gennemgang af en film, der indeholder både sorg, freudiske længsler og den evige kamp for at overvinde døden. PANEL Elombe Brice Parfait, pædagogmedhjælper og skribent for Soundvenue. Anbefaling: Tag til sorg-gudstjeneste i Davidskirken på Østerbro. Benedikte Granvig, radiovært på P2. Anbefaling: Læg telefonen væk og læs den murstenstykke klassiker, som du har haft liggende på boghylden. Emma Rosenzweig, forfatter og kunstner.

Director Guillermo Del Toro is a master at bringing gothic horror to the big screen in glorious fashion, which he does for this episode's movie “Frankenstein”, but only in a small number of theaters. Most people will have to see this on the small screen because Del Toro decided to make his long-awaited “Frankenstein” movie for Netflix, the king of small screen. Nevertheless, it's fantastic to see a classic movie monster on the screen, with an excellent cast no less. Oscar Isaac plays Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth is Elizabeth, Christoph Waltz as Harlander and Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein. This version of the classic tale introduces us to Victor Frankenstein as a young boy to begin to explain his mad ambitions, then onto his creation of The Creature and then the aftermath. We even get to see The Creature's story from his perspective. Does this all add up to an entertaining movie? Check out this episode to find out! “Frankenstein” also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Kyle Gatehouse, Lauren Collins, Sofia Galasso, Ralph Ineson and Burn Gorman.

Spoiler Free: 0:00-38:00 Spoilers: 38:00-END In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7. We explore the film's breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster. But we also question whether the film's extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?

In this week's episode of the world's-fastest-movie-review podcast, Jackson and Mike review TWO new films!!! First "FRANKENSTEIN" The life of Victor Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life, in the form of a Creature, results in dangerous consequences. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. Then, a quick review of "SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE".

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958), and The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) What can you say about the Hammer Frankenstein films that hasn't been said before? Well, a lot, actually! In 1957, a relatively small, mostly unknown studio made a film that would forever change horror and kick off a cycle of sensual, bloody, and atmospheric fright flicks that would dominate the genre for around twenty years. To say that The Curse of Frankenstein is a classic is almost like saying that water is wet, but it is also a film that lives up to it's reputation. It and its sequels are films that not only deserve regular revisits, they also belong in more modern conversations about horror. While nearly all the films shard crewmembers and all but one were directed by Terence Fisher, one constant defined the series: Peter Cushing's mesmerizing take on Victor Frankenstein, equal parts gentleman and ghoul. On this episode we look at the first three films in the Cushing Frankenstein cycle, and in a very real way, make a pilgrimage to one of horror's holy places. We love these films and we hope that either you do too, or that you will by the time you are done listening. Films mentioned in this episode: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Corruption (1968), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Devil-Ship Pirates 1964), Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971), The Evil of Frankenstein (1964), Frankenstein (1931), Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969), Maniac (1963), Nightmare (1964), Paranoiac (1963), The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), Re-Animator (1985), The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

Re-dropping a classic episode from October 2023: Rafe is joined this week by Big Brain Smart Head™ Angela Nash to discuss Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. As Rafe recounts the story, Angela provides a rich commentary on the understanding of the tale. If you haven't read the book but know anything of "Frankenstein", chances are that everything you know about the story is wrong.Set in Geneva in the early 1800s, the novel tells a cautionary tale of a Victor Frankenstein, a truly mad scientist, and a monster that he creates by trying to understand how life animates the material world. The story touches on a wonderfully rich number of broad themes (Good and Evil, Truth, Virtue, Beauty, Justice, Mercy, and the usual Bufnaglely topics) but the primary theme is an investigation into loneliness and the need for human companionship.*****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.

#WDRadio WEEK OF OCT 19, 2025 | In the late 1800s, a journalist uncovered the shocking secret of how medical schools obtained their teaching skeletons: hidden factories in London, Paris, and New York that processed unclaimed morgue bodies and exotic specimens from travelers into 10,000 anatomical skeletons per year, using acid baths, boiling tanks, and skilled anatomists who rarely assembled bones from the same person.==========HOUR ONE: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========HOUR TWO: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way – something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special – possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein – but it's rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.
