People can start falling into doing stuff that's rote, but you have that all the way back to the '30s.
Dan WattersGUEST
You know? Like, you get, you have all the, a big horror boom, and then you have Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and it's getting a bit tired at that point, and it goes away for a little bit, and then it comes right back.
Dan WattersGUEST
Uh, and you have it in the '80s, the slasher boom and, you know, like, like it was low budget, like some incredible films, and then a load of really shitty ones that, that then got boring and tired, and it went away for a bit, and it just, that, that circle.
Dan WattersGUEST
It never takes less than a decade, like ...
Jamie KelleyGUEST
Which I'm like, what the hell? I mean, like, there is no dude on Earth who will forever be closer linked in visage to Dracula, let alone the charisma character.
Jamie KelleyGUEST
The fact that he maintained that level of charisma in 31, in 1948, when they were doing Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.
KristenHOST
Oh, was it that much later? Wow.
KristenHOST
Yeah.
13 MINS LATER
Jamie KelleyGUEST
I think it said four times and two of them were Dracula.
Jamie KelleyGUEST
And that is 31.
Jamie KelleyGUEST
And then, of course, as I said before, my favorite is Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.

Margherita VitaliHOST
Interpreta assassini, scienziati pazzi, servitori, maggiordomi.
Margherita VitaliHOST
E nel suo ultimo film per un grande studio, che è datato 1948, che si intitola Il cervello di Frankenstein, lui interpreta di nuovo Dracula, dove però non fa paura, ma piuttosto fa ridere.
Margherita VitaliHOST
Ma è il suo ruolo, purtroppo o per fortuna, e per questo lui lo interpreta comunque al meglio delle sue capacità.

I wrote just that, "By the end of the '40s they reached the ultimate death knell, Abbott and Costello." 'Cause it really does, like, delegitimate.
