On a dark and stormy night, Brandon and Stoney dig into the 1985 cult classic starring Tim Curry and a delightful ensemble, Clue.

After an incredibly limited theatrical run Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has hit Netflix as of November 7th. A week earlier, and maybe we’d have hit that Halloween sweet spot, but beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose. I digress.

Nonetheless, the occasion inspired Brandon and me (Stoney) to get behind the mics and talk about the vast history that this story holds in cinema history on the latest episode of The Vick’s Flicks Podcast. We rewind to 1818 and discuss the original text from Mary Shelley. We look at some of the themes this story explores, and what about it has resonated with audiences for so many years. And, we look at an exhaustive filmography that features hundreds of films that fail to stand out and ask, “why did it take nearly a hundred years to do this ting right again?”

Then, Brandon offers up his thoughts on del Toro’s effort with 2025’s Frankenstein.
