Welcome to DON'T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, proudly sponsored this time by MacDougall's House of Horrors, just near Stroud.

Hosted by A. J. Black and Matt Latham, Don't Call Us Shirley! explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way.

In this episode, they look at the 1948 Universal Monsters pastiche, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

One of the earliest spoofs to become a sizeable hit, it features two American comics at the height of their fame taking off the first true Hollywood genre franchise. Is it still funny though all these years on? Have the comedians and the targets faded? And has Latham watched any of the films this one lampoons*? Find out!

*almost certainly not
