What's Frankenstein
🕑 Added 2022-06-20 22:20:06 +0000 UTCIf you're doing a podcast where you just talk about Frankenstein and Frankenstein-adjacent movies all the time, it's important to figure out what exactly counts as a Frankenstein movie.
In this spiritual sequel to "Why Frankenstein?", one of our most popular early episodes, join us as we talk about what's Frankenstein and what isn't. We go to some weird places and talk ourselves into adding some movies to our list that we're less than excited about.
We also laugh more than any other episode we've ever recorded. It's a good time.
Let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree with any of our thoughts. And tell us if you have any suggestions of other movies that should count as Frankenstein films. The more we have, the longer we can keep doing this!

Good suggestions! We definitely need to put together a long list of Frankenrobot movies, and these are a great start.

If we're going with robots, the 2019 Child's Play remake could be considered as a variation on the Frankenstein story.

Prometheus is a Frankenstein movie! A strange one but it’s all there, and all the David scenes in Covenant are a Frankenstein movie. So just cut a film of all the David scenes from both of those and you’ll have one whole Frankenstein. Also, I would definitely consider Blade Runner and it’s sequel to be Frankenstein movies, especially the first one with the character of Roy Batty. Rutger put in a great performance as the Frankenstein monster in that without even trying! Looking forward to what you guys have cooking!
