Ep. 563: Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

Hello fiends and familiars! We continue on this month with a bit of a thematic double feature following last week's Edward Scissorhands as we look at the 80s-set horror rom-com Lisa Frankenstein. Directed by Zelda Williams, this Romeo and Juliet-adjacent story (or maybe Bonnie and Clyde?) is a tonal romp, but does it come together? We discuss zombies, Frankensteins, and Pinocchios (Oh My), as well as parenting, suburbia, and much more. Tune in now!
