Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
The book that spawned a thousand adaptations. Featuring a bunch of crazy stuff that didn’t make it into the film. Like a visit to the north pole!

Young Frankenstein
Possibly the best Mel Brooks movie. Probably our favorite Frankenstein adaptation. Brooks and Gene Wilder are just magical together.

Show Notes
Mary Shelley and The Book
Volcanoes and the year with no summer. Women writing books. Philosophers and children of philosophers.
Trendsetting
The movie vs the book. The beginning of scifi. The ways that each broke boundaries in their own ways.
Scary
Was it scary at the time? The movie intro. Everything that’s cliché now was new once.
Playing God
Science, evil science, and playing god. The ethics of mad science.
Science Horror
How to take the cutting edge and make it a horror story. Electricity. X-rays. Quantum stuff. Nano bio tech now? Deepak Chopra is full of crap.
Goodbyes
Good day, Miss Elizabeth.
Good day, Herr Moritz.
Good day, Herr Vogel.
Good day, Herr Baron.
