Anthony is back with another Tubi Deep Dive, and this week, it's a rare new release. Yes, Asylum Pictures decided to make a mockbuster inspired by Del Toro's Frankenstein and Gyllenhaal's The Bride! and it is fine, at best. But as the world's pre-eminent Bride of Frankenstein scholar, Anthony had to watch, so you don't have to. Join in the fun here, and then decide if you want to experience the film for yourself!

We've reached the end of our long road thru the world of Death Race. Sure, some cars blew up along the way, but isn't that what it's all been about? This time, we're in a massive prison city with its own ecosystem and a semi-benevolent overlord named FRANKENSTEIN! Join us as we get surprised by an unexpected Danny Glover, and then an unexpectedly pretty good movie!

It's time to take the Death Race out of the jail and into the desert. The desert jail. It's time for dune buggy action, an Oceans 11 plot that works less and less the more you think about it, and all of our main characters conveniently forgetting a very important plot point that they all figured out at the end of Death Race 2. It's kind of a weird mess, but it's nice to see some familiar faces (one of which we should NOT be seeing nearly as much as we are, FRANKENSTEIN.)

Frankenstein's back, for the very first time! This week, we're going way back to the origins of Death Race, and the origins of Frankenstein. (And maybe the origin of Weyland-Yutani, the evil corporation from the Alien franchise?) Join us as we discuss the bizarrely stacked cast, the weird sexual politics of Death Race world, and protect Lists at all costs.

We're finally returning to the Death Race world, with the remake/requel/whatever series. This one stars the second coming of Arnold Schwarzenegger, aka Jason Statham, and it takes place in the far-flung future of 2012. It's um, believably dystopian. Join us as we gush about Ian McShane, give this film the autism representation seal of approval, and talk about the Mario Kart-ification of the For Profit Prison Industrial Complex.

Eric is back this week to talk about one of HIS special interests: Yokai. We're talking about a bizarro kid's film directed by a Japanese master of horror. Join us as Eric schools Anthony on various yokai, we try to understand the yokai rules, and we puzzle out the lore of a the most recent film in a long series we haven't watched. Oh, and Frankenstein is there.
Find out more about Eric's new Yokai Tea Party card game, live now on BackerKit! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/cobaltmonkeyking-studios-llc/yokai-tea-party. You can also keep up with what he's doing over on Instagram or TikTok!

Tim Kirk is back, and we are headed to 1950s-era Germany, a weird time for Germany, and the world. Join us as we talk about this campy, bonkers, sci-fi romp that is almost certainly a response to some of the darker events of World War II. We both got way more out of this movie than we expected to!
This week, Tim Kirk is back to discuss a... challenging film. We're both lovers of amateur and independent films and we both really struggled with this one. It's a strange mess of a film with a couple really cool ideas that only make the strange mess of it all that more frustrating. But we did our best all the same, and definitely had a good time talking about it, even if we didn't have fun watching it. Join us!
Tim's new music video for The Mountain Goats' "Charlie Sheen Reaches Out To The Feds" can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PEJmPTIzqk
And his book All His Damned Mother's Sons is still available! Purchase it at https://pelekinesis.square.site?cc=FRANKENCAST or just go to pelekinesis.com and enter code FRANKENCAST at checkout. And you can always find more from Tim at tim2kirk.com!

Anthony is back with another Tubi deep-dive and this one is quite a gem! This is another present day sci-fi-focused Frankenstein story, similar to the Bernard Rose film we recently discussed. But this film asks the question, what if stem cell research helped up make a PSYCHIC FRANKENSTEIN?!? It's sad, brutal, and campy, and features modern-era scream queen Tiffany Shepis as one of many mad scientists working at the Prometheus Project. Join us!

Tim Kirk is back to help us turn our Frankenstein double-feature into a triple feature! This week we're surfing the Greek Weird Wave with a strange stylized dreamscape mystery full of weirdos and strangers. It's hypnotic and sometimes difficult. But rewarding. Join us!

This week Hayden is here talk about Frankenstein. This time, specifically that heartbreaking modern adaptation by Candyman director Bernard Rose. It's a huge bummer and really really good. Join us as the Monster meets his enemies' energy 100% of the time, learns all about ACAB, and befriends an old bluesman. And CW: the dog dies. It's ROUGH.
