About this listen

Dave is back this week but, bum that he is, didn't get a chance to watch either film this week. So that leaves Megan flying solo on FRANKENSTEIN (3:00), writer-director Guillermo del Toro's take on Mary Shelley's classic novel. Short version: Megan loooooooved it and particularly enjoyed that this version portrays Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) as a complete bastard, and it gives the Creature (Jacob Elordi) a humanity and depth that other versions don't. Then Evan joins Megan for THE MASTERMIND (17:04), writer-director Kelly Reichardt's latest, about an art heist gone wrong - largely because its planner (or mastermind, ha) is a terrible planner. Over on Patreon, Dave, Megan, and Evan talk about the 1977 film LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR in honor of the late Diane Keaton.
