Author Rachael K. Jones rejoins to discuss James Whale’s incredibly influential adaptation of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN. In episode 234, Luke, James, and Rachael discuss what’s in a name, the physical toll that Boris Karloff endured to play the monster, an innovation in camera motion, a real human skeleton, an adaptation of an adaptation, the Rock band KISS’s surprising connection, Stephen King & George R.R. Martin’s Universal Monster references, and a Tim Burton homage that makes a lot more sense now.
They finish by casting their votes on which was better between
these two giants of genre history, the book or the movie!
