35. The Resurrection of the Universal Monsters! | Talking The Bride, Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Frankenstein & The Dark Universe

The monsters that built horror are alive again. This week, we dig into the massive resurgence of the Universal Monsters and how a new wave of visionary directors are bringing fresh blood to cinema's most iconic creatures. From Maggie Gyllenhaal's bold reimagining of The Bride, to Lee Cronin unwrapping terror in The Mummy, to Guillermo Del Toro's beautifully gothic Frankenstein, we explore how prestige terror is reshaping legends that have stalked the screen for nearly a century. We also trace the path of Dark Universe, emerging from Universal's new Epic Universe, and how the studio finally seems to have all the pieces in place to honor the classics while reinventing them for modern audiences.So join us, as we witness, The Resurrection of the Universal Monsters!
