38. Blackenstein: The Black Frankenstein (1973) dir. William A. Levey

It's Blaxploitation time, baby! This week we're joined by the brilliant Don Bacon to discuss this Frankenstein-themed knock-off of Blacula, that features one of the most inscrutable characters we've met yet: Malcolm, the Ultimate Player Hater, as well as one of the most tragic creatures, Eddie Turner. We're also discussing ten-gallon heads and the best talking dog joke you'll ever hear in a Frankenstein movie. NOTE: This episode also contains some thoughtful discussions about race in America, toxic masculinity, the effects of the Vietnam war, and rape culture. We've warned you. Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments. Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @thefrankencast or send us a letter at [email protected].
