Description

On this week’s episode, Sonny, Peter, and Alyssa discuss James Cameron’s interview with Matt Belloni and his take on the state of the industry. (You can listen to part one of that interview here and part two here.) Then they discuss Guillermo del Toro’s new adaptation of Frankenstein. It’s a beautiful movie, lovingly crafted and exquisitely designed … yet one that undercuts the point of the book through the characterization of the monster and a performance by Jacob Elordi that occasionally feels as though it’s channeling a classic Ben Stiller character. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend! Sharing is caring, as they say.
