Today, we are continuing our conversation about Frankenstein with a discussion of its major adaptations. Mackenna and Aubrey (primarily) discuss Frankenstein (1931), Young Frankenstein (1974), Frankenstein (2025) and the National Theatre adaptation of Frankenstein from 2011. We talk a lot about the choices all of these notably male adaptors made in translating Shelley's work and what we'd like to see in a future adaptation. And also, we try to figure out wtf happened to Frankenstein, M.D.?
TW: Extensive discussion of sexual assault from 1:34:00-1:40:30. (And if you're like... in an episode about adaptations of Frankenstein, a book that has no explicit sexual violence? YEP.)
Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd)
