Episode 187: Frankenstein's Monster and the Bad Science Daddy

Frankenstein is doing nasty things to male bodies, as usual.

Frankenstein is back, baby. There are two new Frankenstein movies, plus tons of new fiction that plays with Frankenstein tropes. So it's time to talk about why this tale of a creature reanimated from dead body parts continues to haunt and inspire us. We get into Mary Shelley's life, the meaning of the bride, and what the monster has represented to different groups of people over the past 200 years. Plus, we dissect what makes Victor Frankenstein the original bad science daddy.
