In 2026, Peak Viewing covered The Bride!… on a DARE. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s sophomore film felt like a nice coda to the Frankenstein series we did last year, so we added it to the slate. Having now seen it, do we still want to do an episode? We would prefer not to. The film itself is kind of a headache inducing beautiful mess, but that doesn’t mean we can’t discuss everything to do with the often remarkable visuals, what we think this movie is trying to communicate, and how relatable cinephile Frankenstein is.
