What if Frankenstein's monster made his own monster? What if that monster was a girl? That's what we're figuring out in this week's episode! We're discussing Emily (Emma) Stone's 2023 Academy Award winning performance in Poor Things. We ask the tough questions, like was all that sex necessary and why do we love Mark Ruffalo's Duncan so much even though he's so terrible? Listen to find out! No babies were punched in the making of this episode.
