There are so many retellings in large part because this story seriously does make the reader think!

🧪🧬One of the major themes of Frankenstein is the power of creation.

What a great inspiration he was. 🙄

Not sure how we feel about this. We are three very sexy people and have not had our viral moment yet. 😂🤣😂

These two were wildly good through all of Battlestar!

Seriously- more cats in sci-fi, please!

Aw, thanks! We definitely have a lot of fun, and some very strong opinions. We hope you listen to the show. Please let us know what you think!

He’s definitely not realistic- it’s fiction in every sense of the word. But he still was awful! 🤣

Nothing like a good trauma nap! 🤣😂🤣

👨‍🔬Victor Frankenstein is the worst, and we have receipts. Mary Shelley's classic work is not kind towards it's male characters, but Victor in particular has us rolling our eyes. 🙄

🕰️📖 Some 19th century classic British authors had very different lives. This week we cover how Mary Shelley's life influenced her work, and how different it is from what we have read on the podcast so far.

Check out our first Frankenstein episode to hear all the messy details!🎧

S4:E5 Frankenstein: Introducing the Madness Welcome to our Made of Madness March, where we kick things off by diving into the dark and fascinating world of Mary Shelley—the brilliant mind who dreamed up one of literature’s most haunting creations. We’ll explore her unconventional upbringing, the stormy night that sparked the idea of Frankenstein, and share our thoughts on the Frankenstein novel itself including its haunting themes and complex characters. Then, the real madness begins: we’re splitting 12 different Frankenstein adaptations between the three of us and throwing them into a head-to-head bracket showdown. Over the next two weeks, we’ll battle it out to decide which version electrifies the story best and truly bring Mary Shelley’s story to life. Hosted by Keri with co-hosts Lindsey and Crystal.

That’s the crazy part- it wasn’t awful! But it also really sucked?

We are still frustrated about the botched TV series. These books are so good and they could have done so much better. James Marsters does such a great job narrating the audios, too! 💙📚 📺
