Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi everyone, Tony from Hack the Movies here and today
we're talking about Young Frankenstein, my favorite comedy of all time,
and it's also the ultimate love letter to universal monsters,
especially Frankenstein. Let's talk about it today on Hacked the Movies,
Talking Talk Talk, talking about tapes. Hello, Casey, Hi Tony.

(00:24):
I'm so excited to do this one.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Me too. I'm honored on this episode.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Uh Young Frankenstein again, I spoiled it at the top
favorite comedy of all time. My mom showed me this
when I was very young because I like Frankenstein stuff,
and I think that was like the only Frankenstein movie
she ever watch was that one. So she's like, yeah,
let's write, let's rent Young Frankenstein for you. And I
watched it. I'm like, this is the most amazing thing

(00:51):
in the world.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
It really stands the test of time.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yes, and I don't know, I probably saw Willy Wonka
before this, but this cement it my love for Gene Wilder.
I was like, this is the greatest performance a man
has ever talked in a film.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
He's such a class act. And I've said it many
times about my story, my story with Young Frankenstein, but
if you haven't heard it. In preschool, we were allowed
to bring like movies of all sorts. I don't know. Yeah,
you were allowed to bring a movie to class. And
my mom she'll always remind me that out of like

(01:27):
all the kids were bringing like Dora or like a
Bugs Life or something, and I brought Young Frankenstein. And
I still have the VHS tape. And I have the
VHS tape and it has like my name written in
the corner because it was my movie.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh, I forgot I had hold on. Let me grab
it quick. I forgot I had this. I was supposed
to put this on set. So this is beautiful. I
guess some video store got a copy of Young Frankenstein
put it on a clamshell case. But then they cut
the actual vhst it squeezed it into the clam shell case.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's got that leather cover, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Where it's all colorful to trick people. And the thing
in the movies not in black and white when.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
It is Did they ever make a I don't think they.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, they didn't. Actually, I'm glad you brought them up.
That's part of my notes here. So yes, very famous
comedy by mel Brooks, written by mel Brooks and Gene Wilder.
They had a really good relationship on this one. They
only fought once. Do you ever hear the story of
how they fought?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I might have Is it because he was living there's gases?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, So I don't know what the cause of the
fight was. But when they were writing, apparently in there
like an apartment where they were writing, they had a
huge fight. Mel Brooks walked out, but then like ten
minutes later he called Gene Wilder was like, who is
that madman yelling your apartment? You can't like crazy people there.
That was like his way of apologizing being ridiculous, that apology.

(03:01):
So Gene Wilder agreed to do this movie if mel
Brooks wasn't in it, because mel Brooks kept putting himself
in movies, which is great. He was funny. He was
rarely the star of them. He's the star of a
couple of them. But apparently Gene Wilder was like very
adamant about that. It's like, I feel like you're going
to be a distraction and I want this to be
a thing.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So that wassion yes. So that really like shows how
popular mel Brooks was at the time too.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, and mel Brooks was in the movie a couple times.
He's the voice of the cat that kept shipped by
a dart and I think the did you ever see
the deleted scenes for this? The only one I can
remember is in the beginning the other Frankenstein family members
listened to the tape that's the grandfather's will, and I
think he's just making fun of all the relatives and

(03:49):
saying like I'm giving everything to Frederick. And I think
mel Brooks is the voice of the grandfather Frankenstein. But
that scene got cut. Yes, he's also the wolf off camera.
I love that.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's not like Jordan Peel did. Yeah, he was the
deer that was dying.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh get out, Yeah, don't by the way, Uh don't
see him? Oh yeah, skip him.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'm gonna wait till streaming.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Said no, you could just skip it all together. It's terrible.
Go back and by the last wrap up we talked
about him. It's horrible. And now I know why they
were putting Jordan Peele's name all over it, even though
he didn't drag this.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I brought it up.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's okay. Yeah, so he mel Brooks wanted to shoot
on black and White and the studio didn't want to
do that. I think Columbia turned it down because they
were like, no, we're not putting out a black and
white movie. And then Fox, I think producer Alan Ladd
was there who produced a bunch of movies I like.
I think he produced some of the Aliens. He was
the head of Fox at that time. He was down

(04:53):
for making a black and white but I think I
don't know if it was Fox or maybe Columbia first
were like, hey, let's shoot it on a color stock,
so he could put it out in color in some territories.
But mel Brooks was smart. He's like, nope, nope. If
I do that, you're only gonna put it out in color,
You're gonna fuck me over. He's just like, no, it's
black and white or nothing. Which that works for this,

(05:15):
I mean the movies he's trying to parody. It makes
sense to do it in black and white to have
that universal look. Yes, And I guess Dracula Dead and
Love and It gets a pass because there were Dracula
movies in colors, so I guess maybe he eased up there.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
But you would really think this movie is from the
It fits.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
In really really love, so so a lot of the
equipment in the lab is from the original films. They
found the guy who had all of it. He never
got credited in the original apparently, so they found him
in la He had everything in this garage and they
were like, see, I know. So they rented it from
him and they put a credit in the movie for him.

(05:56):
They're like that donated by whatever his name was. The
original props so special.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That is so special.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is, and it really again, this is a love
letter to those original Frankenstein films which I love, which
I've been watching a lot lately, watching a lot of
them lately. I usually watch them, but the Twins I've
been showing them like all the old ones. They're more
Dracula Girls than Frankenstein, although they do like Frankenstein.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Girl can't resist Dracula.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
They just love doing this.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'm a Wolfman gal, though.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
They also like wolf Wolfan is the one that they
like universally, like Dracula. It's like specific version Frankenstein they like.
I think they like the Monster Squad Frankenstein Alive, but
no if it has a wolf Fan in it, wolf
Fan is their favorite. Like I said, big love letter
this movie. As we go through right, I'll point it out.

(06:50):
This movie is very inspired by Son of Frankenstein, which
I think is one of the most underrated Frankenstein movies.
I know, people go on Peacock right now. Peacock's weird.
They have like most of them, I think.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Or do they have Son They do have quite a few.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
They have a few, but they skip over Ghost of Frankenstein.
I think right now they have Son of Frankenstein and
frank Stein meets the Wolf Man. Okay, I think, so yeah,
they're all kind of scattered. Luckily I own them all
so I can like ma without them. But this one
is a lot like Son of Frankenstein, which I think
is very very underrated and fun of fact, that movie
also has some humor in it. I mentioned this in

(07:29):
another episode, but I'll bring it up here because it's
the Frankenstein episode. Son of Frankenstein is the first time
I could think of where a franchise was like self
aware of like a meta thing, because there's a moment
where Wolf Frankenstein played by Basil Rathbone, he's talking to
his wife on his way to Frankenstein Village. Because there
were the continuity of those movies are really old are

(07:51):
like not very good because no one could rewatch movies,
so they were like, ah, what happened? What was the
town in the last one? Who cares? It's this now.
So he's relating to his wife on the way to
the town and he has this joke where he's like,
my name is synonymous with that monster, and he goes,
by the way, did you know that nine out of
ten people think that monster's name, and then the conductor
off screen goes frank Inside. I'm like, that's a really

(08:13):
clever joke. So back then, like nineteen thirty eight or whatever,
they were making fun of how people thought the monster
was Frankenstein, Like, that's really funny. Why mine out of
ten people call that the shape and creature of my
papa's expediments. So I can see maybe why that one
is the one that they gravitate to the most.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I even think the original Frankenstein has some silly elements too.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
There definitely is. I mean, Fritz the hunchback, he's pretty.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Silly, right, But how can you like not? Even the
monster just looks like a Frankenstar.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
He really he looks like a Franken seiin Monster, Thank
you very much, frank Sin's monster.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Trust me, I correct people too.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It is annoying. And Abbaden cost tell me Franken seign
because it's like, yeah, they call the monster Frankzein, but
there's no Usually there is a even Frankenstein meets the Wolfman.
There is like Frankenstein's great great granddaughter, so technically the
Wolfman meets a Frankenstein. But anyway, anyway, well, I'll talk
about more of these movies as we go through it,

(09:16):
because it makes fun of most of them. But yeah,
I guess let's just get into this beautiful film. Love
the opening credits absolutely like old school Hollywood. The credits
were in the beginning. Yeah, they put everyone's credits in
the beginning.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, we were. We we rewatched it last night and
my boyfriend was like, oh yep. When they had the
credits in the beginning, I'm like, well, they're just like
calling back to the older movies.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
This is a seventies because it used to be, Yeah,
it used to be just frontload at your movie full
of credits, and then there were opening and closing credit.
I don't know, I think if I remember right, like
a directors guild or whatever, there's like a rule for
like mainstream movies that they have to have two sets
of credit. So that's why some movies won't have opening
credits and there's like two credits. You ever see like
a movie where the like the movie ends and there's

(10:07):
like a cool animated credit sequence and then regular credits.
That's because they need to credit sequences. Wow, So sometimes
they just backload them. Yeah. Yeah, but back in the
old days, they would just put it on in the
beginning because they were like, yeah, everyone's gonna leave when
it's done, why would we put them at the end?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now you couldn't do that these days because there's ten
thousand visual effects artists on every movie, Like, you can't
front load the credits.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
And also so many like people sponsoring the movie or whatever. Yeah,
it was that called like how Fox was this one?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Like distributors?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, so many, some have so many distributors.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did you ever watch Late Night with the Devil? Yes, yeah,
that's the one that had like three minutes of open man. Yes,
I knew the studio title logos. There was. There was
another one I watched recently that felt like that. I'm like,
oh my god, it's another opening the.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
One we saw the one on a cliff or on
a hit? What were they on? Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Fall when they run the tower?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah was a fall.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That one was weird because it was like BuzzFeed pictures.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
No, it was one we saw recently.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Ish. Sorry, I just spilled so anyway, Casey, I'm an
adult and I didn't spill anything. What are you talking about?
We get to hear the score, the Young Frankenstein theme,
which you will hear the entire movie that I've watched
this like five times in the last few days. It's

(11:35):
gonna be playing in my head over and over again.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
This is so incredibly hard to find. You can't find
it anywhere.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Occasionally it does stream like it was stream on HBO.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's why I was surprised that you had to send
me a copy.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I had to rip a copy, and it's.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
When I streamed it to my TV from my laptop
we have. I had to listen so carefully because I
couldn't turn it up any louder.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh is the audio mov Oh.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's happened even with DVD's, Like I had to listen
so intently.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
You have a soundbar. You should get a soundbar. Probably
you'd probably get a soundbar.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, but also, do you have there's another Gene Wilder
movie that I have been dying too, sy, I can't
find it anywhere. Do you want to guess what it is?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I wonder if it's the one that I'm gonna bring
up later as and Haunted Honey. Yes, okay, I've.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Been wanting to see that movie forever and I can't
find it anywhere.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
And yeah, you know what, No, I don't, but I
was looking it up earlier because I want to mention
that there's a jokes in this that gets called back to.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
And I've seen the beginning on a live stream of
a channel I was watching all doing like a it
was grim. It was Grim, Grim Life Collective and they
were doing like a stale all night, stay up all day.
Watched this with us and the audio dinner.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh, I'll find it, watch it? No, Yeah, because after
talking about this and looking up the scene that I
need at the reference, I.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Will watch it.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
I watched a million years ago. I don't remember too
much of it, but it looks like something I would like.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, me too, So.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, we get to hear the score, which you will
hear the whole film, Dune. I this is one of
my like go to sleep movies. Like there's a few
movies where I'll put this on at like night and
usually like nine times out of ten before the title
sequence is done, I'm out. It's one of those I
am like the monster. That music will just knock me.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Out, like you know how like kids television shows are
so just like they what's the word called, I'm sorry,
over stimulating. They're overstimulating. Yes, this is one where.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
You could just like, yeah, very calm and relaxing. And
then if you do stay up. If you do, if
you're able to stay awake, you can watch you on
frankistin s Yeah, and we get the beautiful matchhot of
the castle on the cliff, just very got the car
looks great. We get to see the coffin of the

(13:59):
baron von Frank and sign it pops open. I remember
that scared me as a kid. I wasn't expecting like
a full decate skeleton in there and all. The first
gag is the guy goes to grab the box, which
if you saw in the delete sing what I think
it would have been like the tape that place. But
he tries to grab it off the corpse of the course. Yeah,
pulling it back. Uh, so right away we get a

(14:21):
little bit of an element of horror, followed by a
comedic joke which bright the way, apparently this movie was
originally going to be way longer. Really it was just
too long, and they told man to cut it, so
they cut out. Apparently they said, like for every joke
that lands, there were like three that didn't. They were
just heavily butchering this down to just the best jokes.

(14:42):
Oh so I like that he's called the Baron because
in the first Frankenstein movie, Frankenstein's father is called the Baron.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah. Now, and what we do in the Shadows there's
a baron?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Which which season?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I think it's the one Doug Jones, I think, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I know Gene Wilder like this was his idea,
his concept, and he thought, like, what would I do
if I was given the will of the will of
the Bear.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah. So then we get to meet Frederick Frankenstein. Oh,
I'm sorry, that's Frankenstein.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
He's doing a lecture about voluntary and then involuntary reflexes,
which these are medical students. I'm like, I learned that,
like fifth grade medical students shouldn't be learning this, but
all right, like the one he's like, I'm done sure
of the difference. I'm like you are like, I feel
like you should know that by now. We learn here
that he does not like his family's past, which again

(15:42):
is very much like a son of Frankenstein. Will Frankenstein
is like ashamed of his well, he like admired his father,
but was ashamed of the legacy he left him. And
he corrects everyone about his name. He does not want
to be Frankenstein. He's Frankenstein. Yeah, And he does a
demonstration on him voluntary involuntary reflexes on mister Hilltop, who's

(16:03):
the tiniest man I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well next to Marty Feldman here.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Marty Feldman wasn't as skinny though, I think this guy is.
This guy looks like a skeleton. I love where he goes.
Will you please hop up? He just struggles to get up,
and he's like nice hopping again. I freaking love Gene Wilder.
I love like all the little witty like uh side
remarks that he makes, and like even that like little

(16:32):
sarcastic insult. I think I saw this young kid. I
was just like, I'm gonna be a sarcastic as nice hopping.
He blocks a nerve impulse on his neck. He just
kicks him in the groin. I love that he yelled.
He just insults him before he does it, your mother

(16:53):
grabbing say. He kicks him in the groin and he
can't react because his impulses are stopped. But that's a
because he gets an extra dollar.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
He gets an extra dollar.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I love that, give him an extra dollar, extra dollar.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
He did a good job.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yes, and then one of my favorite things about gene
Wylder is when he yells, oh this and Willy Wonka.
I could listen to a loop of Gene Wylder just screaming,
and I think I'd be the happiest person of the world.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I think it's kind of traumatizing. Really, yes, I think
it's really scary. Even Adam Sandler's kind of like he's yelling.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh my god, No, this yelling is so good. So
the one student keeps grolling him about his grandfather, who
is someone I don't know who he is.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
He is someone that student, I thank you. And the
only thing I can think of his Dodgeball. He was
the ref in the movie, not Dodgeball, not Dodgeball. I'll
tell me, no, he was it? Wait was it Dodgeball?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't tell me. The one with Martin Lawrence.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Tell me bad Boys, Bad Boys too.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was a basketball movie with kids.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh oh, what was that call? I don't remember. I
know what movie you're talking about, Ball, the Rebound?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Was it called Rebound?

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think it was called the Rebound. My little sister
once and watched it.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Like, I think he's in that movie and he was
the ref and it took him forever to call things.
Or it's Dodgeball. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Remember that actor is just not this guy anyway. I
need to look up anyway. Anyway, he keeps bringing up
his grandfather's past. He's like, yeah, and I love that.
Uh franken Sein sorry, Frederick just snaps. He's like, my

(18:49):
grandfather's work was don love that? He gets so mad
he just stabs himself and I love the delay. He
like stabs it. He looks and then he covers it
up with his legs.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
He's like class dismissed, which he goes that.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
When he tries to play cool and his voice cracks.
I've done that joke on this show. Class is dismissed, right,
pretend what was it? I think I mentioned like a
girl rejected me on that you might actually been on
the episode. I eventued like a sad thing, and then
I tried to move on. I'm like, anyway, next up,
and I'm like, I got it from this movie. Up.

(19:27):
He's like, class dismissed. So he gets word of his
inheritance and it's off to Transylvania. But first he's got
to say pie to his fiance, Elizabeth, played by Madeline
Madeline Khan probably the funniest, most beautiful woman I've ever
seen in my entire life.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Beautiful. She reminds me of that actress I don't know name,
but remember from Cinderella, the Brandy Cinderella.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I'm sorry, look, I I'm lucky I was able to
kind to recall Rebound, but you went the Brandy Cinderella.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Bernadette Peters.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't know what Bernard Peters looks like. Oh can
you show me a picture of Bernadet Peters? Yes, okay, yeah, no,
I see it. I see it.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I see it, Yeah, I see it.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
But now I love Madeline con especially in mel Brooks movie.
She's in Blazing Saddles she's in History of the World
Part one, and I loved her in Clue. She's great
in Clue, just one of the funniest women ever. And
I love her in this where she's like she's like
super conservative, saving herself for marriage. Woman lie, classic woman lie.

(20:41):
We do find out that that's a lie. But anyway,
uh yeah, so she's all done up and she doesn't
want to be touched by him because she's going to
a park.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Okay, I'm the same way at times. Seriously, all girls
get that way if you are like ready to go,
don't Yeah, not the hair, not the hair.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
But I love the taffa, the darling, and he doesn't
know what it means. He's like, yeah, tap and it's
like no, the dress. And but I love as they're
saying goodbye, they're excited for their wedding and everything, but
like he can't even kiss her goodbye, so they settle
on the elbows.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Elbows before COVID, I.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Forgot about that. But I also love like she is
so against touching him that even when he blows a kiss,
she tries to.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Te I know, I thought that was just from she
he was she was afraid it would hit her outfit.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Then she gets just covered in steam. That was funny,
which just starts calling. I love when they're on the
train and the chair again the mics don't pick it up,
all right. I love when they're on the train and
they basically do the same exact scene twice with the
same exact actors, only it's two different trains and they're

(21:55):
wearing different stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, I questioned that I was the girls just like
every day Harold let him led him and then the
conductor comes in and then suddenly we're in Transylvania and
they're saying the exact same thing, but in Germany. It's
so fun, so fun, and like I wish we could
take a train ran of Transylvania.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, from New York train to New York, trained to
Translvania when we moved.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
So we're originally from Jersey and my family. When I
heard that we were moving to Pennsylvania, like when I
told you, I'm like, we're moving to Pennsylvania because I
thought it was Transylvania.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Wow, you're calling my home Stadius a land of monsters
and villains. We do have Italians here, but in the Irish,
but you know, give him a break. All right.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Well, my dad he even went with it.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
He was like, who, that's okay. I remember my sister.
We were driving on ninety five and she saw like
the Liberty Towers and she's like, oh wow, I can't
believe we're so close to New York. She thought the
one was the Empire State Building. We're like, we're like, what, Yes,
isn't that New York. By the way, she was like
ten and we're like, no, Nicole, that's the city you

(23:05):
live in. You've been here before. She's not the brightest.
I love her. Uh n. So she's great, we gotta
be nice.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
She had another and rebound.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
We're up to Yeah, we're up. We're up to three
nieces now, so awesome. I actually the day we're filming
this is the day I met my new niece with
the franket Sein shirt. See he pulls into the station
and there's a reference to Chattanooga Choo Choo, the song
where he goes, is this the Transylvania station? He goes, yeah, yeah,
track twenty nine. That's a lyric in that song, track

(23:39):
twenty nine. And then we get probably my favorite moment ever,
and it is a reaction gift that I use all
the time, whenever there's a news story about a reboot
that I don't care for. And it's when he asked
Frederick if he wants to shine for his shoes and
he goes, oh, no, thanks. I used that gift probably weakly,

(24:02):
whenever they announce a new movie that's like a reboot
that sounds terrible. I just retweet the story with Frank
Frank's I going oh, uh no thanks. You know what,
I know what I used it for. Recently? What the
announcement that there's a show coming out called Very Young Frankenstein.
And I was like, oh my god, I actually get
to use the gift for something. It's time.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
So everything aligned then, So.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
What was it? A year or two ago? They Hulu
finally did History of the World Part two and I
was like, well, I always wanted to see that. And
then I watched the trailer and I saw Josh gadd
and Kumillo Anjiohanni were in it, and I went, I
will never watch that as long as I live. Uh
So I skipped that trash. No one ever talks about it.
I assume it was bad. It So You're the World

(24:49):
Part two? Yeah, it's funny. You haven't even heard of it.
First one was great because it was about Brooks movie,
and this one is other people doing it.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
They just started working on.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Space East Balls too, indeed.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
And I was like, maybe this one will be good.
And I look up the picture and I see Josh
gad again and I go, I'll never watched Spaceballs too?
Is that amazing?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
What do you have against him?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
It's just that funny and a lot of the comedians
on that stuff aren't funny.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
He's all off.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Who isn't funny? You know? You know what? I found
Josh Goad funny when I saw him live in the
Original Book of Mormon before it even hit Broadway. I
saw when it was in previews. He was funny back then.
He's just been terrible and everything since then.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Well, he had a great web series during COVID, sorry
to bring up COVID again, reunited a ton of like
cast members of our favorite films and interview them and
stuff that.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Might be aver forget what it's called. Uh yeah, but
I think it was also Kamilnjiohnny who used to be
very funny, and then him, along with a lot of
other comedians for whatever reason, ten Or eleven years ago
all decided to stop being funny. Yeah, now they announced
very young Frankenstein. I'm just like, like, I know mel
Brooks is on his way out, but is he trying

(26:03):
to make some like extra pennies before he dies? Like
this will stop green lighting this stuff. It's terrible, don't
do it.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I haven't that.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah. Uh so, yeah, we'll see who's in that one.
I'm sure it's Josh Gad again. Everybody, I'm gonna want
to skip it. Apparently Rick moranis is coming on a
retirement first Baseball's too.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Okay, I'm a little bit more. I don't know. I'll try.
I'll try with that one.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
We'll see.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So yeah, my favorite reaction gift of all time. Oh
uh no, thanks?

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Uh Frederick meets Igor. I'm sorry, I go now. This
is a pretty funny reference. Everyone misremembers that the hunchback
in the old movies was Igor or Igor. It's not
the very first Frankenstein movie.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
The hunchback is a guy named Fritz played by Dwight
fro who was also Renfield and drag Well. He's in
a lot of those movies. But where the confusion comes
from is when Bell Lagozzi shows up in Son of
Frankenstein and goes to Frankenstein, he plays a character called
Iegor with a y okay and he was a guy.
He was a criminal and they hung him but he survived.

(27:16):
So the technically don't go so the whole movie he's
like this, ah, and he's so there's like a three
movie arc for Bell Lgoz. So Son of Frankenstein he's
the one who found the monster and brings it to
Wolf's attention, and then the second movie he finds the
monster again and uses it for evil, and at the
end he puts his brain to a spoiler, he puts

(27:37):
his brain in the monster so he could be the monster.
But since his brain isn't a match when so the
monster is now igor but when he wakes up, he
can't see anything because his brain doesn't match. So that's
why when you watch Frankenstein meets the Wolfman, you know
the famous thing where Frankenstein's like this, it's because in
continuity he's supposed to be blind. My goodness, and Bell
Lagozi plays the monster in that one, but apparently his

(28:00):
thick Romanian accent coming out of the monster's mouth and
everyone laugh. So they cut out all of his dialogue
in that movie, so if you missed Ghost of Frankinsagh,
you have no idea why he's going like this and
very confused.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I've got to see those. Yeah, So the Igor stems
from I mean stems from Son of Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yes, so it's a combination of the This is a
combination of the Hunchback and Igor, who again, if you
didn't know, you would think he is a hunchback, if
he didn't know the backstory because he's like this. But
I think a lot of people remember this movie, so
now they have this false idea that there is a
character called Igor who shows up in things like he
was in Van Helsing. There's like that animated.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Movie even were Monsters right? The movie that Rob Zombie directed?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Was he in that? I know there was a henchman
side Yah, there was a henchman that apparently comes from
because a lot of the original Universal movies were based
off the stage play ads and not the books. And
whoever did the stage play adaptation of Franken Seinn is
the one who invented the lightning bolts, and then they
gave him the hunchback. They gave him the hunchback sidekick

(29:10):
for some reason, and that's just been a thing ever since.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Do we know where this was filmed? I know Fox, Hollywood. Yeah,
I wonder if it was just on the lot. I
guess the Fox lot and I know there that they
have I've never seen it. I think I've been on
one part of the lot. Anyhow, I saw like a
preview of Annabel there the movie Annabel, like before it
came out, preview whatever. They have a big mural of

(29:36):
young Frankenson. Yes, and I want to see it a
person real quick.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
What do you think of condur and Ford? Do you
like it?

Speaker 2 (29:44):
I did?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, I saw like hardcore conjured fans really not liking it.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I just saw haters not like it.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, but I'm just like I was way better than three.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
It was way I liked it more than Free three
because I'm not into like Witchcraft, like that doesn't interest me.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well. Also three was like to bring up COVID. Three
was like one of those COVID least that's why it
looks pretty cheap. But go back and watch our what
is the worst conjuring movie so far?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Watching them again?

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Uh? Yeah, I actually want to go back and watch
them to spin offs again anyway. Time. So, uh, we
meet I Gore, which I love that his name is Igor.
He gets real annoyed getting correct about Frankency.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Says, I mean he's so sassy.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Him being an asshole.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
I also really really I enjoyed it, but.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
They told me it was Egor. Well, I have a
wrong name, what I especially some of the cowardly stuff
he does later on, I'm like, yeah, that's me. It's me,
but I love. Oh they're wrong, now, weren't they? Of course,
he's played by Marty Fellman, who was very known for
his bulgy eyes. Right.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
He said that he's like the only guy who's been
in a horror film with no prosthetics, something along those lines.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, gush, but no, he is so hilarious and yeah,
so I like that he touches his hump and he's like,
I'm a surge and I can fix that, and he
was like, what hump up?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
So cute. So he related to Corey Fellman.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't know, I don't think so, you know, it's funny.
You know John Clees from Money Python, Yeah, who was
also in Kenneth and.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
The Georgia, The Jungle. He was the he was the Gorilla, Yes.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
But I was also going to relate to a Frankenstein
movie he was in. John Clees was also in Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein, director by Kenneth Browna. He was a Waldman
in that. But anyway, I saw John Clee do a
one man show at Parks and SEO years ago. Wow,
And he showed like old clips from like when he
was very young, and he did a whole skit with
Marty Feldman in it. And it was a skit about

(31:49):
like the BBC arguing if England has freedom of speech.
And the joke is every time he's asking Marty Feldman
a question. Before Marty Feldman could answer a question about
free speech, John Clees cuts him off and Marty Helmet
just strangles from not letting him talk. Anyway, Really really
funny guy.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Pretty much.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Oh yeah, So I was watching this the other day
with someone and I'm just like, I think everyone mel
Brooks isn't physically in the movie. I guess, so he's
still alive, so I could hear the check. I do
this all the time, and every time I can't hear
the check.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I movie three every time?

Speaker 1 (32:32):
What was I saying? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
I'm everyone said yes, everyone's said.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
I'm like, I'm trying to think who's alive, and I'm like, no,
they're dead. They're dead. Terry Garr died and then I
was like, oh, Gene hack Gene Hackman died this. I'm like,
is he the last one? I don't know if anyone
else is alive. Chlorus Leechin is dead. Marty Helman, I
forever ago now that this movie sad to watch.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Madeline.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
He was really young man Alina, Marty Filman. They died
very young. Yeah, but yeah, Peter Boyle's going. That's a bummer.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
He has gone.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, Peter Boyle has been dead for a while.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
For the audio listener, she has an eight inch action
figure of the dancing young Monster in Young Frankinston scare Pro. Okay,
so this joke, the iconic walk this way joke. So
he tells him walk which by the way. First off,
before that, I like where He's like, let me get
your luggage and he grabs the small one and I'm like,
that's that's my kind of guy. But he gets the

(33:34):
little cane. He's like, walk this way, and he walks
really funny down the stairs and he gives the Cane
to Frederick who does the same thing. Melbrooks wanted to
cut that joke. He thought it was cheesy and stupid
and didn't think it would work. He's like, that's dumb.
They did a test screening for it and it killed. Yeah,
and then he did it again in two other movies.

(33:55):
I know, Oh, it's in History of the World Part
I can remember it in History of the World Part one,
and where I think, like, girls like walk this way
and she like burrows the thing and then everyone else
does it. And I think it's in Robin Hood Prince
of Thieves, but I didn't know Robinhood meant in tights. Yeah, yeah,
but I haven't rewatched that one, so I forget what
the joke was in that. But yeah, I think he
has a couple of times, but which is funny because

(34:18):
again it was a joke that he wanted to cut out.
And I think the rumor is that Aerosmith watched this
and then they made a song called walk this Way.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
I believe it. That would be perfect.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I don't know if they've ever debunked it, so we're
just gonna go we haven't.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I felt bad for Marty Feldman if he had to
like crunch.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Like, oh yeah, over like that the whole time he
looks like he's having fun. Though. Apparently this was like
a really fun set. Oh of course they were like
adding scenes because everyone was having a good time. There
was I remember there was thing on like the DVD
like they had like this big thing where like the
entire cast and crew came down that big staircase singing

(34:57):
the song from the movie. I'm just like, yeah, this
seems like it was like one of the most fun
sets ever General Friends. Yeah. So uh. Frederick gets in
the carriage and he meets Inga played by Terry Garr.
She invites him for a Roland Zey. Her old thing
is just like sexual innuendos, like she doesn't like get

(35:20):
what she's said. Gorgeous woman, so gorgeous get him, Like,
that's the most beautiful one I've ever seen that. I
said that so soon after Madeline Cohn.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's like and they thought the same thing.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
I thought the third girl would be even more beautiful,
but then it was Chloris Leachman, and I went, Okay,
such a.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Great strong female leads here.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I should say, though, so on their way. She's the
lab assistant for assistant for his laboratory.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
She's not period perioding anyone, is she? No?

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Other than a lot of those movies just had a
pretty blonde girl in them.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I think they did. Oh okay, true, but I think
they like made the role for her too, because she
did she was gonna be Madeline's character. Yeah, but she
claimed that which.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
She Madeline is very obviously Elizabeth from the original movie
in the story. Yeah, but I can't, like, I can't
figure out a specific character from the original that she is, at.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Least not from the original Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah. Yeah, other than they just had they usually had
a blonde girl in those. Actually, I think the Frankenstein's
wife in between franken Sein and Brian and frank Seying,
I think she goes from being like a blonder brunette
or hers bad continuity in those movies.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Literally, that sounds like it.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Frank Zein picks up right from where Frankenstein left off,
and suddenly his dad, who was a major character the
first movie, is just gone. It's just like so on
their way they hear a wolf and she says it's
a where wolf, which leads to the funny there wolf
their castle, which is a really funny day. But I

(37:00):
like the Frederick's just like, no, I don't want you
to talk that way, and I just love Igor's suit yourself.
I'm easy. So they arrive at the castle, which has
very nice knockers they play now Inga thinks they're referring
to her, and they meet Chlorus Leachman's character Fraul Blooker.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
So good.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yes, So every time they say her name, the horses
have a reaction to it. They're winny, which is a
funny like horror movie thing when someone's name is spoken,
usually lightning strikes. Here they did the horn, but the
funny thing is that it just keeps going, like they
just keep doing it. May I present.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Every single And mel Brooks said he did that, like
because the name was from someone that he grew up
with or something.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
So she visually she doesn't act anything like the character,
but visually she looks like the house made in Brida
Franken seginn Mini, the real loud shrieking one for some
reason that movie spends a lot of time with in
the beginning. So she has like the same hair and
pretty much the same outfit as her but plays the
character very different.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Right, And at the time Clarius Leachman, from what I heard,
she was like a dramatic actress, so it was a
little bit different for her. Like the way she played
it was just like no one expected it. They were
all laughing. Hey.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Sometimes, like real dramatic actors for these types of parodies,
they work well. I mean the biggest example is Leslie
Nielsen because he was a very serious actor. Then they
put him an airplane. But because he was so serious,
it works so well. And now we're seeing it now
with Liam Neeson, Yes, in the Naked Gun Reach did
you see the Naked Gun?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
No, I'm dying to see.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Oh my, I think it's on Paramount Plus.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Now, Yeah, it's I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah, he's doing the same thing where like because we're
so used to seeing him serious and now he can
be funny. But it just works so well.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
But with Claris Leachman, I had only known her from
like Sillier roles like and now, and then she was
the grandmother who was hilarious, and then she was also
in the Mary Kane Ashley Yes toilet so scary, scary.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I don't think I watched it yet, but uh, you
know Lake Placid the crocodile. You know how Betty White
was the yeah, crocodile. I think in Lake Placid too.
Chlorus Leachman is a different old lady. I think it's
her sister who has a bunch of crocodiles.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
And she was on Dancing with the Stars. She was
And I've met Cloris leach.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
You did, yes the story?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah? Well, I met her at a convention, okay, and
she was very I think it was her first convention
or something, because she was a woman of very few words.
She I think she might have been like but she
did Dancing with the Stars afterwards, So I was like,
because I was like, I loved you and now and
then and everything, and I had her sign I have
a young frank and sign wallet. Yeah, but I'm so

(39:52):
mad I had her sign that because it's like, gone,
I know, why don't you was because like it was
something I carried around with me all the time, and
I'm like, I just want to carry it. I want
to carry her around. I was super young. I was
younger at the time and naive, but I do I
want you to put the picture in because I didn't
like get a picture, but my boyfriend at the time

(40:13):
took one.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Okay, send it to me. I'll put it right here, yay.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
And when I have a picture of the autograph. I
have a picture of the autograph.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
We'll put it right here. Yay. She was also in
something else, but I want to bring it up when
the other actors came up next, so yeah, uh.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Okay knockers.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Yeah. So she invites them into the house and we
get to see the nice big staircase, which I feel
like is a staple for these old Gothic universal like
I know Freaking Tracula had two of them. This look's
like the one at the end of the first Tracula
when they're in that like Carfax Abbey, the big staircase
with no railing. So as soon as I see a
big staircase, I'm like, yes, this feels time, This feels

(40:56):
accurate to that era. She brings him to his room.
He asks about his grandfather's private library, and she denies
any knowledge of it.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Is that a thing like do doctors have their own prime?

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Probably not, but I like apparently she improud of the
thing where she just keeps recommending drinks for him. Would
you like a brandy some milk perhaps, and she goes,
oh bolt.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
He gets He sees her kiss a picture of his grandfather,
and then he wishes her good night. He says good night,
Frau Blucher, and then of course the horse is usually
you're supposed to do the comedy of threes.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
But I like that this comes back a couple times time.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Yeah. No, it is like they only say her name
a few more times. They only say her name one
more time address, but like they did the three at
the beginning, so it's like, Okay, that's funny. But then
like the next scene, you're not expecting it to come
back so soon it does, and I love that it's quieter.
You just learn that night Frederick has a dream about

(42:04):
his destiny. He has a nightmare. Sorry, he has a
not mare about it. He's like destiny knowing but oh
my pin, yes, then not mare destiny, no escape bank
death for me. I love that whole thing. He gets
woken up by Inga who lets him know that there

(42:25):
is music coming from behind the bookcase. And then we
get the trapdoor again, which is really funny, where they
have the candle at the door. Uh, put the candle back.
Watch this movie a lot of times, but I love it.
He's like, Okay, I got it. Uh oh, put the

(42:46):
candle and then put it back and I'll block it
with my body and it crushes him and he's squeaking.
He's like, so yeah. They make their way down this
other staircase that they bump into Igor, who's freshly dead. Yes. Oh,
they're going by the skulls. WHI Apparently the first two
were real skulls. You were able to get real skeletons

(43:10):
back in the day. I think they cracked down on
it now, but yeah, the first two were real. The
one before Igor was fake. But I love that. He's
just freshly dead and he used to start singing to them,
but he also heard the noise. They find another door
they walk in and they they open up the electricity,
which shocks them, and they make fun of Marty Pelman's

(43:30):
eyes Your eyes too late. He's like the only one
who like kind of winks at the camera. He's the
only one who knows he's in a movie, I feel.
And we get a beautiful shot of them showing the
whole lab that we hear aud. It's not from the
original movies, but it's supposed to be like audio from
the past, and then it cuts back to Frederick O

(43:51):
and like, huh, what a mess. They find the private
library and evidence that someone was there car there was
a candle lit, and he finds his grandfather's journal and
he reads it that night like this and everyone's sleeping,

(44:11):
but he's very into it and he learns that it
does work, so he's all in now, oh yeah, it's
been proven to him. He's like, I gotta do it.
I gotta continue this legacy here.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
What did the journal? Did it just say my private
book or something?

Speaker 1 (44:26):
I forget what it said. I forget what it said.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
It was just so obvious.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
But I love when it cuts to the painting of
his grandfather and it changed him smiling. Do you remember
mouse Hunt? Remember their dead dad had a painting and
it changes faces throughout the whole movie.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
No met the movie?

Speaker 1 (44:45):
All right, Well, if you ever watch if you ever
rewatched mouse Hunt, which you should, that movie's great.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
The guy Nathan Nathan Lane is in it? Yes, he
was in the remake of producer Nathan Lane's in it
producers by Books. Yes, But so like I thinking, what
you got a mouse Hunt? They inherit their like Dad's factory.
But there's a painting of it. It's William Hickey. It's
a painting of William Hickey looking very angry, but like
throughout the movie, it'll like change and make different faces,

(45:11):
and I feel like they got it from this.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I always get that movie confused with the Borrowers. Do
you remember that one? No, there's like there's these little
people and they live in like the closets. Oh, they
live in like all the little things.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
I remember that. I didn't care for that one too much.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
But mouse Hunt is hilarious that deserves a rewatch.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yes, yes, that's one I would love to do, and
I know that episode would flop.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
You know who would like it? Probably that one guy
who wanted under Wraps.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
No, screw that guy.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
I would do mouse Hunt with you.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
I will say, someone's been recommending a movie over and
over and over again, and I'm considering doing it, but
I'm not gonna tell which one of you it is.
Right now, there's like four people going like, oh, he's
picking my and he's picking mine. So they talk about
the corpse that they would need to make this new creature,
and they talk about how all his proportions would need

(46:07):
to be gigantic. Uh, and Inga mentions that he would
have an enormous schwanst Yeah. But I love Frederick's reaction.
You guys, goes without saying.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
That's not real? What that word is? That real?

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Schwan stucca echo? Is schwan stuka a real word?

Speaker 2 (46:34):
The word schwan is a German that means in English. However,
schwaner doesn't appear to be a recognized word in either
German or English.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Okay, so.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Now, uh German, she was right about that.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
So yeah, I guess she just made up a nonsense word.
She just say something, Yeah, go away. Yes, I guess
you just made up a word, an enormous fun stok.
I just love the coast without saying so. That night,
much like the opening of the first Frankenstein or Frankenstein

(47:12):
and the Igor, they're at the grave someone who's freshly
dead and freshly buried. They're there to just dig them up.
Feels very much like the old film. But I love
when they dig him up and they're like, oh what,
what a dirty job, and he goes, could be worse,
could be raining, And then but.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
I like how uses his hand. He's just like this.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
I just love it.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Oh, he's so good.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
On the way back to the castle, they drop the
casket and they try to put it back. They try
to put it back on the wagon, but a cop
shows up, and this is the great moment where the
monster's hand is sticking out and ge molders pretending it's
his hands. He's like, although he goes to shake it,
he just like steps and moves it over. And I
love that he's like playing with It's like, oh, yeah,

(47:57):
you know. It's like, oh, you gotta war him up.
He's like yep. But this gag is done again in
Haunted Honeymoon. It's the only scene from Haunted Honeymoon. I
can remember. He's beating up a guy in the basement
and he's like threatening to murder him. So the guy
falls into.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Like this spoilers just for this part.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
He falls into like a I don't know, like a
trunk or something. And when ge Wilder is standing on
top of him and his legs are sticking over, so
two cops come down and he puts his jacket over
it so it looks like he has tiny leg and
he's like he's pretending that he's just sitting there. He's like, oh,
I was just down here practicing my acting, and the
guy starts waking up and his leg keeps going in
the air, and that was like a follow up to

(48:37):
this joke.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Now, who also did that? An episode of That's.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
The Greatest.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Such Comedians.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
We forgot to do Haunted Mansion again. We were supposed
to do the three Haunted Mansions?

Speaker 2 (48:55):
What's the third one? Okay? Please next time?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Next time, next time, will do that one.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Don't let us forget.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Wasn't Jared Letto in the Newest One? Yes? Okay, well,
I already have to do a different Disney movie with
Jarret Leto This month? Was this tron Aris I can't
do too?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
I can't He was the hot Box Ghost.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Would you like Hana Mansion? Though? The ride? I love
it the best. So they prepare the creature and I
Gore's hump has changed sides. So apparently this is like
an inside joke. Apparently Marty Fellman was just doing this yeah,
and no one caught on for like a few days,
and then they were like, that's funny. We gotta work
in the script.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Mel Brooks found out he was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
It's so funny. But I loved that he goes, what's
that on the other side, He's like, what, never.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Mind, such comedic geniuses.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
So he tells, I go, hey, you gotta go get
a brain for me, famous genius Hans Delbrook, go get
his brain again. This is almost right out of the
original film where Fritz goes to get the smart guy's
brain and to get in the criminal brain.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Well, it's normal brain, yeah, and this one abnormal.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Yeah. This one it's normal brain and abnormal brain.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
In the original oh yeah yeah, and abnormal and then
in this one it actually has the name of the god.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
And then do not use abnormal brain. So he gets
startled by his own reflection and drops it and grabs
the abnormal one. Uh, pretty spot on, Pretty spot on.
Then we finally get to see uh, Peter Boyle as
the creature and I love the game. A little zipper
on his neck. That was funny. That was funny. It

(50:40):
took me years to real she does call him zipper neck.
But I think it took me years where I was like,
oh ye little.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
I think it was only until I washed her recently.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Yeah, so he has a little zipper on his neck.
They prepare the experiment. I love that he touches I
gore and he just really he realizes the hump is
back and then like he lets do it. I love
when he goes through dress and he's like never mind,
he just lets it go. So they begin the experiment
and Gene Wilder doing his whole monologue is so funny

(51:10):
about like life and evolution. He's screaming all of it,
we shall not say, just chewing the scenery. It's so
good and it feels right. This whole sequence feels right
out of an old Frankenstein movie. It helps because they
have a lot of the equipment. But yeah, lightning is striking,

(51:31):
the kite is flying. I love when like his face
gets translucent. He has a skull underneath. That was so cool. Yeah,
So they do the whole experiment. They lower him down
and it doesn't work, and Frederick, this is an important
lesson for everyone. We have to accept our failures along
with our successes with quiet dignity and grace. And then

(51:54):
he has a meltdown.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
He has a crash out.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Yes, and uh, this is another reaction. I really like
to use him going I do not what to what
was just loosing? I just love that where he's just
gone and then Igorg just makes fun of He's like, yeah,
quite dignity ingred, So yeah, he's he's lost it. We

(52:21):
then can see the town and the elders are especially
concerned because they mentioned that they went through it five
times before, which is kind of funny, not that this
is actually a sequel.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, I was asked, do you find it as a
sequel or.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Like a parent Well no, because they're saying his grandfather's
Victor franken Sein. But famously, the first Frankenstein movie, The Bride,
and the first one they changed Victor's named the Henry
Ye swapped the name. I don't know why they did
that because Henry is his friend in the book and
they for the movie they swapped it. But it's still
funny because there was franken seiin Bride of Frankenstein's son

(52:55):
Ghosts and franken Sein meets the Little Fan, and then
there were the monster rallies like House and whatnot. But
so there are like five main Frankenstein movies. Wow, so
that's like a funny little nod. But yeah, the year
is where we meet where is he? Oh, by the way,
the whole town complaining about this is also out of
sun and goes to Frankenstein because at that point the

(53:16):
town there's a moment where Wolf Frankenstein comes to town.
He's like, just wait, you know, I'm not like my grandfather,
Like yeah, sure, So this is kind of making fun
of those movies where the town's like, come on, man,
stop stop doing this here. So, yeah, we meet Inspector Kemp,
who I forgot to write his name down, but he
was Auto in Malcolm in the Middle. Do you watch

(53:39):
Malcolm in the Middle, Well, the older brother in the
first season he was in military school, and then I
think the next season he's like in some he's in
some like resort or something. He has like eccentric foreign
people who run it. And the guy who plays Kemp
was auto and then cool. But then I looked that up.
He is And when I look that up, I remember

(54:00):
that Chloris Leachman was Malcolm's grandmother and Malcolm in the
Middle that's around the middle agers. So he is inspired
by Inspector I think Crogue in Son of frank Sin,
who did have a wood in hand. His backstory is
like when he was a child, the creature ripped his
hand off, even though we never saw that in the
first two movies, but in that one he's just a

(54:21):
guy with a wood in hand. He's The joke in
this is that he's over reliant on the hand that
doesn't work, so that he puts his hand in the fire,
lifts it up, turns it, pops into the water, brings
it back up and then I don't know if I
never realized this before or if I forgot. He has
a monocle over his eye. Past like hilarious scary movie

(54:49):
strong hand. But yeah, no, so like the whole gag
is that he's just playing with the arm a little
too much when he could just easily do everything with
the other arm and the other gug. The inspector and
son of Frank Sein just talk normally. This one has
an accent so thick, no one knows what he's saying.
He's ravag for ships. They'll just go what. That night,

(55:11):
the monster comes to life, and I love that moment
where he thinks IGOR made a yummy sound. He's trying
to figure out Yes, he's like, what I didn't say
anything did and I didn't But they go down there
we get the it's alive.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
I think he waited his whole life to do that.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Yes, he put his all into that. So he starts
to teach the monster to walk, and it's going well
so far until Igor lights up a cigarette. The monster
freaks out and start strangling the doctor and he's trying
to tell them to get the sedative, and they don't
know what he's saying.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
So he starts said, okay, he said sexy word, but
I love I love when he goes set a give
and like, as he's being strangled, he looks at the
monster and.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Go like, I love those kind of things.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
So good, So they give him the sedative finally knocks
him out. I freaking love. When he grills iye Gory,
he's like, did you sit up here? That wasn't Hans
Delbrook's name. He's like no, He's like, I love what.
He goes, you told me he was, and he goes
he promised he won't be mad, and g goes, I
will not be mad. So he tells him that it

(56:26):
was abby someone normal, and right away Frederick start wrangling him.
They hear the knocking from the inspector, who again is
not knocking. He's getting his good hand to get his
badhand to knock, and another great moment we have to
appear normal and then it's like collar shoots open.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
So when we get the darts scene where they're talking
about the monster and he's like, oh, superstition. But I
love when the inspector grabs the darts and then he
puts the in there makes the sound like he inside
all of that nice grouping. So yeah, it's a standard
conversation you would have in these movies. But I liked
when Frederick goes to shoot the darts and he keeps distracting.

(57:16):
There's a monster that keeps going out the window. Really
funny scene, and I love when it cuts outside like
his driver has a dart in his head. It's all
in the Yeah, that's way more darts than he even throw.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Yeah over exaggerated.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Yeah. That night, Frau sneaks into the lab to free
the creature. Oh sounds like you're about to sing. She
goes to free the creature, and then we get one
of the best callbacks ever. Every time it fucking kills me.

(57:53):
She calms him down with music, which is something Igor
does in Son, and goes to Franken's sign. He has
like a little trumpet that he does. He's like, I
play music, for the monster, so the song like has
a hypnotizing effect on him, and we learn that she
was Victor's girlfriend. He was my boyfriend, but she's the

(58:19):
one that led Frederick down there so he would find
the library and continue his work, which I guess she
was part of in the past. The creature gets startled
by some electricity and runs away.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Doesn't she go like, yes.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Yeah, together every time he gets a piece together.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
And yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
So so he runs away and I love when he goes,
what have I done? And then all three of them
bite their fingers. Then we get a fun parody of
the Creature with a little girl scene, which is the
second time we've referenced this on this show, because they
do it in Monster Squad as well, where they're playing

(59:03):
on where they're playing with a well throwing flowers down
the well. We're in the original it was the pond. Yeah,
but I love it keeps cutting to the parents and like,
I thought she was upstairs, Oh no, and they realized
they haven't checked on her. So for a moment you
think he's gonna throw her in the right but then
they switch it up to where he's playing with her
on a sea saw.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
It just latches her and then they hug because.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
They're like, oh, she's upstairs the whole time, not knowing
she's got thrown in. She just knocked herself out. Say
a really really fun parody of that famous scene. And
then we get another parody of the most famous scene
in the second movie, which is the blind Man okay,
which is also a reference to the original novel as well.
It's funny thing. Out of those first two movies, very
little of the novel made it into the movie. Somehow

(59:46):
they worked on a blind Man. Yes, so apparently when
it first came out in theaters, he was uncredited. He
did it for free. He was there for four days.
He wanted to try comedy. He really wanted to comedy,
which I actually hold on when when was this? This
was seventy four, So he ended up doing a bunch

(01:00:07):
of comedy. But like this is before Superman and his
Lex Lutheran Superman is very comedic, So this is him
testing all that out. Uh, And he's hilarious and he's
so good. He's just so happy to have a friend. Yeah. Yeah,
the creature walks in. He's just like the Lord is
granted me with the kids, just like a big bell,
are you? But he assumes that the creature's mute, and

(01:00:29):
he's like, uh, what iron ironing me a blind man
and you a mute. So he sits him down and
then he just keeps accidentally torturing the creature. He scolds
him with soup. Yes, I love when they go to
toast with the mugg and he shatters the crea and yeah,
I love the creature's face where he's like he's re illinoyed,

(01:00:52):
and then he tries to teach him to not be
scared of fire to smoke a cigar, but then he
ends up lighting creature's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Thumb on fuckus cigards.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
The creature runs out, breaks the door down, and gets
out of there, And apparently this is the first take
they use. He ad lib the whole I was gonna
make espresso, so he ad lived it, and like everyone
cracked up, and every time he tried to do it again,
he just kept laughing and got laughing. So like script,
we got it on the first take. They couldn't recreate it. Yes,

(01:01:24):
but it's just such a nice, like funny little scene parody.
Almost again that the blind man in the original frankcise
is like one of the best scenes in that film. Yeah.
So that night they lure the monster with music and
they sedate him again, and they bring him back to
the lab and Frederick tells them that love is the
only thing that will save this monster, and he's going

(01:01:46):
to attempt to love him, even at the risk of
his own life. And this is a great mot where
he's just like, no matter what you hear, don't open
that door. And as soon as he gets in, he's like,
open the door, open the door. I was like, I
was joking you, uh, freaking hilarious. He ends up giving
the creature compliments.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
And he does win over the creature and he shows
him love and affection and he finally embraces the name Frankenstein.
It's a big moment, great character arc, great character arc.
The next night, he does a demonstration to a bunch
of scientists. I love when they correct him. He's like

(01:02:28):
my fellow scientists, and they all just goes, this is plural. Yeah.
So he has a whole demonstration for him to show
off that he brought a creature back to life. And
it starts off simple with him locking heel to toe
and backwards, and then it progresses to putting on the
ritz the let's go out. They're all dressed up again.

(01:02:49):
You have the fingerboard. Yes, they just all start singing,
putting on the rits. They didn't know what Peter Boyle
was gonna do when it got to the park where
he had to sing, and he just came up with
that ru and it's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
And this was shot in a theater in Santa Monica, Okay,
and it's the facade is still there, like the exterior,
but not in size, and now it's a shoe palace.
She's like a chain out there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
That is funny. When you go to a lot of
places in like downtown l A and stuff, you can
see they're like they're old theaters but now they're story.
But I think I was a real asshole when I
was there. I kept taking pictures of like, well, they're
doing a play here. I think it's a shoe store play.
I kept like because they're so obviously h yeah, huh

(01:03:36):
yeah right yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
I forgot to mention that in at the beginning, there
was a shot of like the monster's feet, yeah, and
I was like, oh, Tarantino, that's a Tarantino shot scene. Ever,
that's what made him love thee did I see today?

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Tarantino was accusing Stephen King of ripping off Nightmare and
Elm Street. He thinks he thinks it is ripping off
Nightmare and Elmstree because Pennywise takes your fear kind of
like Freddy Krueger does, and he like swears that he
ripped him off. But then people are pointing out it's
like he started writing it in nineteen eighty one before
there was a Nightmare. Else.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Yeah, I think they're very different.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
I don't know. That's what I saw today. He's got
a fact check his stuff. I get yelled after not
fact checking things, but I don't say them with as
much authority. Whenever I say a fact, I'm like, I
hope the god that was right. The comments will let
me know what wrong. So, yeah, everything's going well. They're dancing.
It's great until light explodes and the monster loses his cool.
Everyone has fruits and vegetables there to throw, and they

(01:04:39):
end up putting the creature in jailah and Frederick is
just distraught over this. He's very upset. If only there
was a way Inga could just cure his pain and
relieve his stress. Cut to them in the lab prow
comes in and they come down on that platform.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
That fun. Huh, that must have been fun.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
That would have been terrifying. What are you talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
I'm not a.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Risk taker like that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
I'd be like, oh fall, yeah, I could never even
have like a top bunk on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
Yeah, talk bump. Top bunks scared me. I don't know
if I can.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
But they can say that they got to lay on
the original Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
That's possibly nude.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
I don't think they were really I.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Don't think they were really nude.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
That would have been very unprofessional.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
I think that's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
I love it comes down smoking.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
I forgot, like before a certain point, any post sex
scene in the movie had the character smoking. That was
like a thing. Oh what movie was he I think
it's a parody movie. It's either hot shots or loaded weapons.
But there's a joke where like the characters are in
bed smoking and I forget what movie was. But the
one girl goes, maybe next time we could do more

(01:05:58):
than just sit in bed smoke looking cigarettes, like applying.
That's insult they did. It's that's all you ever seen,
like the movies. But yeah, Frau lets him know that
his fiance's coming any minute, and I love I suggest
you put on a tie. But I also like, I
didn't notice it untile recently, like she steals his cigarette
when he grabs the telegram, she takes his cigarette, she
starts smoking it and walks away. So yeah, they go

(01:06:20):
up to Green Elizabeth, who's making a surprise visit. Uh,
he's very excited to see her. He's like, darling, darling.
And then when he goes to pay the driver, igort
or Igorn does the same exact thing and terrifies her.
And I love that she's confused by all. But she's like,
uh huh. Yeah, he is so into her, and I

(01:06:43):
love it when she asks Anga what her job is
and Inga struggles for a minute, She's like, I assist
him in the laboratory. Apparently this scene took the most
to do. When uh, Frederick says, help me out with
the bag, and he goes, yeah, you take the blonde,
I'll take the girl on the turbine, but he bites
that like fur scar she had. Apparently he kept the

(01:07:06):
clumps of fur kept coming out of it and getting
on his mouth and it kept cracking everyone up. So
they did like fifteen twenty takes it. Wow. So back
at the jail, the guard is taunting the creature, taunts
him with fire. The creature gets out and escapes, and
then Inspector Kemp decides to lead a riot to the castle.

(01:07:28):
He's like, all riot, this is a terrible thing, and
he goes. But I'm thinking it's time we had one
and h Frederick is venting to Elizabeth about everything that's
going on, and she doesn't really care now, and she's
also she's also definitely cell abate. Still, She's like, I'm
gonna sleep down the hall. He's like, I thought I
could sleep here. She's like, do you want me like this? Now?
I like it? He goes yeah, but no, she rejects him,

(01:07:52):
and apparently the line no tongue was improvised by her too.
A lot of improv on this, which actually works. The
improv really really works.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Yes, because he kept saying stick to the scret.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
I love when he leaves disappointed, where she's like, I
love it was like good night, good night. I really
related to that. I've been in that situation where I'm like,
well I'm gonna go leave now. Yeah, it was nice.
It's great.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
The creature is lured to the castle by Elizabeth singing
and a kidnaps her, and then it makes the moves
on her that night, and she resists at first, but
then he shows her the Shaun Stooka and she changes
her mind. Also, I love that her hair turned white

(01:08:44):
set up for the joke. Later, Apparently she I think
recommended this song. She was supposed to sing a different song,
but I think she wanted this song that began with
oh or ah, so I would play in So it's
like sweetness series of life I found perfect. And then
they enjoy a post sex cigarette. I love like the wipe.

(01:09:04):
It's a heart wipe that comes in oh geezh. So yeah,
she's ready to go for round seven. Oh yeah, and
then she says it's her always been her lucky number.
But then he leaves when he hears the music, and
she criticized guys for leaving him, like, wait a minute,
you weren't a virgin at all. You were lying to
Frederick this whole time. But I love, Yeah, I love

(01:09:29):
when she When he leaves, she's like, you're better all alike.
You better not tell you about him. Then she goes, I
think I love it so he makes it all the
way back to the castle. He climbs the wall, so
they reunite with him, and he decides he's going to
do an experiment to share part of their brain to
help cure him. So they have him rigged up to

(01:09:50):
a machine and they have to let it sit there
for fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
I love when the machine's going off the ones the
one machine stop keeps making a sound. Anymore has to
hit it. It's like boom, it's Yeah. So the villagers
show up and they're about to mess up the whole experiment. Uh.
And I love when Kemp's outside the castle. He steps
in a puddle and does a little jig to shake
off his food. It's like a little moment that you
have to really look for. Yeah, and then they use

(01:10:15):
him as a battery to break the door down. Uh,
completely ridiculous. They get down there and the monsters awake,
I mean, finally get to hear Peter Boyle talk in
this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
Yeah, and he.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Has a beautiful I believe he might be. I'm only
saying that because he has a small part and taxi
driver and that was in New York, so I assume he.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Is everybody loves Raymond. Is that the show?

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Yes, yes, you think he was the Dead Night? Yeah,
but yeah. He starts talking. He has a beautiful speech
about how like the doctor is the only one who
showed mercy to him and kindness.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
It's like he gave was inspire love, Yes, but he inspired.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
Fear, which is actually a deep reference to the book.
I think the book, he said, is like I remember
it's in the Rabetneer movie, but isn't the book. I
think he the Creature has a line where like, I
have a love that you couldn't imagine in a rage
that you'll never like. He has like the most extreme
versions of human emotions. So it plays back to that
a little bit. And then it ends with what you

(01:11:18):
call Frankenstein is just on the slab, and it's like
a mystery what happened? And then it cuts to the
next scene. He's married to Inga. Oh yeah, they got married.
He's keeping his hat on until she changes right why.
I guess, I don't know. I guess that's an old
Tommy timing thing. She's like, keep your hat on. Uh.
So he's all excited, They're gonna have a great wedding night.

(01:11:38):
She starts singing. I love that she starts singing and
it starts to hypnotize him, and then she goes it
starts to hypnotize him a little bit. He starts acting
like the monster. And meanwhile the Monster is reading the
Wall Street Journal and Elizabeth, who I guess now is
married to him as well, comes in with the bride
of Frankets sign God does the hiss's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
I love it incredible, And I love that the Monster's
already fed.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
Up with her, like I know she's trying to like
like kind of seduce him in her own little worky
kind of way. Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
He looks at the camera, He's like, nahh but yeah.
And it ends with inga asking Frederick, what did you
get from the monster, cut to her singing that song, yeah,
and then finally cuts to Igor playing the little trumpet
outside the castle. Beautiful ending, freaking hilarious movie. I will

(01:12:35):
never get bored of this movie. I watch this movie
a thousand yeah and again. It is a loving tribute
to those old Frankenstein movies.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
It gives me the same feels as like plane trains
and audibobiles. Really yes, like the same kind of like
after you watch.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
It, you just like you just feel better. Yes, I
love it. It's really really great. Yeah, I just love it
so much. I don't know why they're doing a very
young frank and Stein.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
I'm sure it won't take off now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I hope it doesn't Jesus Christ. But yeah, I actually
later this year, I think for the thirtieth anniversary. I'm
gonna say it now, so it happens over on Lina's channel.
I'm gonna go to Dracula Dead and Loving It with,
which is not as good as this one, but they are.
That's a fun double feature Young Frankenstein and Dracula to

(01:13:27):
watch that. Watching I actually want to go back and
watch some of his other parodies because I think I've
only seen The High Anxiety once. That's a Salford Hitchcock one.
He did one called Silent Picture, which I don't remember.
Uh So, Yeah, there's a few mel Brooks movies that
I've been like sleeping on or I haven't revisited in
a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Better double feature Mousetrap and Dracula Dead Love mouse Trap,
the one that you were just talking mouse hunts.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Mouse Hunt Mousetrap is that other steamboat Willie horror movie
that came out, which I think was originally called Nicky's
mouse Trap, and then they quickly learned like, oh no,
we can't call it Mickey. But yeah, I didn't really
make well. Actually, you know, I was gonna say they
don't make movies like this anymore, these kinds of parodies.

(01:14:15):
But now with the Naked Gun coming back and doing
really well, yeah, I would love a parody like this, right,
Like this were just gags, yes, really fun.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
Yeah, this movie, like you said, it's such a big
love letter. So much love was put into it, so
much thought was put into it. It wasn't even like
it couldn't even it couldn't have gotten made without these
two obviously, And I'm glad that they, you know, put
a lot on the line to make it happen and
make it their vision, and it worked.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
It did really, really well. Everyone loves this friggin movie. Famous, Famous,
but yeah, I'm gonna watch you for years to come.
It's probably my favorite Frankenstei movie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
I'm pretty sure I've seen the musical too, but it's
been so long I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
I never got to see the musical.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
It wasn't like it was in Burbank or it was
my cousin's high school play. I can't remember which one.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
I would love to see the musical, I've never got
to see it. Yeah, I don't really go see The
only one I saw was The Book of Mormon before
it got popular. I should really go back and watch
another play at some point. Yeah, we saw it when
it was oh yeah, but me and my friends are
on huge South Park fans, where like, we have to
see that. Of my friends, what was it twenty eleven,

(01:15:29):
we all went up to New York and we saw
The Book of Mormon with the original cast they even
make did you ever see the Book of Mormon? Well,
there's like the town where they're the missionaries the African village.
They do a play within a play. Okay, but since
the real play was in previews our version, the villagers
are like, do they know we're still in previews? It
was like a fun wink. I don't think that's in
the actual version. The problem with that, though, was the

(01:15:53):
songs are so catchy, but there was no album out
at the time and it wasn't on Broadway head. So
we saw this play, we got all the songs in
our head and we couldn't look up any of them
for like a year. It's a long time before I
can look up the song. Great play, Great play. One
day I will see the young Frankenstein play if they're

(01:16:13):
still playing it somewhere. Uh. But yeah, we actually have
a bunch of Frankenstein stuff on this channel. We did, uh,
we did the Robert de Niro one. I mean, you
did Monster Squad. I'm probably blanking on a couple other ones.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
That was another one of our Halloween is this Halloween episode?

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
No it's not, Well it's the Halloween season, but it's
not the Halloween episode. But ye know, uh, we cover
Frankenstein quite often. I feel like, next up we have
a Giama del Toros. Frankenstein is coming to Netflix. I
feel bad they're doing the Philly Film Festival. Huh, and
they're playing it early. Cool, but like I don't have
time to like go there all day long. If they

(01:16:52):
had a time when it was playing, I would have
done it. But I'm just like, I don't have time.
And the brought Maggie, Joe Andhall's the Bride crazy which
we'll call it. Christian Male is coming out. Oh that
was another thing so so famously the bride of Frankenstein
is not in the book. He starts building the bride

(01:17:12):
and then he doesn't finish it. It wasn't until the
movie where they decided, well, what would happen if they
finished it? And everyone's been obsessed with that ever since.
Been the book been the book. It was just he
was making another thing. I thought. So when we did
the Kenneth Browna one, which is one of the closest
adaptations that one said that like the bride is Elizabeth

(01:17:34):
after she dies, he uses Elizabeth's body to make a
bride for the creature. And then the year before that,
Roger Corman made Frankenstein on Bound. You ever see that one?
That one's great a guy time travels back to Frankenstein
times and he's also a scientist, so he has to
learn that his black hole machine is just as bad
as Frankenstein. But then it gets complicated because Mary Shelley's there.

(01:17:55):
It doesn't make any sense. But in that one, Elizabeth
also turns into the monster, and I'm like, oh, did
they get it from that movie? But now I'm here
Elizabeth becomes the bride, Like was it young frankensign that
introduced these idea of Elizabeth becoming the Bride? Did it
start here? I think so, because before it's just a
corpse or whatever he makes, and then at some point
people worked it into his bride.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
I have seen Franken Hooker, Franken Hooker's see Lisa Frankensteign.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Lisa fran Yeah, it's another one we covered. Lisa Frankenstein
was a lot of fun. That was a great I
don't know what we ever talked about. That one was
really great.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Yes, I didn't like it as much as I thought
I would, but I still liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Yeah, I watched it a couple of times. I really
enjoyed it. I don't know how I feel about the Bride.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
It looks cool.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
I guess it looks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Cool, very modern, very different take on it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
I would love if it's because Universal owns it would
actually do a real Dracula's Daughter. Abigail was great, but
that is not the Remember did you see Abigail? I remember,
like a week before it came out, there like it's
a remake of Tracula's daughter. I'm like, no, it's fun.
Other than she's's daughters. Dracula's Daughter is like an actual character.
I don't know if you ever seen Dracula's Daughter the

(01:19:02):
first sequel, the first sequel to Dragula. She's a sympathetic character.
She's a vampire but doesn't really want to be, and
it's actually a very good movie. She's a very layered character,
and for whatever reason, she's not as popular as the Bride.
And I'm like, we need to see I want to
see murder that character because they're actually really cool. Okay,
uh but yeah, anyway, we'll talk more about monsters on

(01:19:22):
this channel coming up in the upcoming months. And uh yeah,
