On this episode, host Magali Ferare expostulates at length about Frankenstein (the novel), Frankenstein (the 2025 film), and why the former is infinitely more interesting than the latter in almost every way. We cover Victor's God complex, the work's Transcendentalist themes, and answer the age-old question: "Who is the real monster, Byron or Shelley?" Co-host Demetria Spinrad even manages to get a word in edgewise every now and then. Dive in with us!
