Strip naked and knock over a baby carriage because we're gleefully covering the Universal Monster with the biggest ego and the largest body count: James Whale's The Invisible Man (1933).

Hear about all of the adaptation problems with H.G. Wells' source material! Gasp at the way the FX were accomplished! Groan whenever Flora is onscreen doing absolutely nothing!

Plus: MVP Una O'Connor, Kemp's tragic/hilarious death, and a "dick out" queer reading
