#141 | The Frankenstein Trope alway SLAPS

Christine Riccio & Natasha Polis talk all things nerdy in the book, tv, movie, pop culture, fandoms, and how they integrate into their adult lives. Today's they’re talking Frankenstein inspired films and tv — and comparing/contrasting the themes highlighted in those stories to Netflix’s new Guillermo del Toro’s gorgeous new Frankenstein film. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s streaming now, but they will warn you before any spoilers come about. PLUS today they chat: their 3 year anniversary, a Red White & Royal Blue sequel, American Horror story’s casting for season 13, Regretting You, Love is Blind, Percy Jackson, and more.
