Hello, Fearless Fans! Its time for yet another adaptation of a classic piece of English literature. This week we break down the 1994 version of Frankenstein!
This film was helmed by and stars Kenneth Branagh, who does his darndest to turn the famous scientist into a shirtless leading man type. Luckily, he is balanced by an inspired casting of Robert De Niro as the Monster, who displays a vulnerability he rarely exposes in his other roles.
Join us as we discuss the virtues of updating a beloved classic (but not too much), how gross and sticky this movie turned out, and how damn weird it is that the doctor and his fiance keep referring to each other as brother and sister even after they are engaged.
So power up the generator, put a fresh brain into your creation, and as always: don't get too scared!
