On Episode 141 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve and Skye are joined by returning guest-host, John Arminio to give you their in-depth and spoiler-filled review and analysis of director Guillermo del Toro’s latest film, his adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, Frankenstein, a book and character that’s arguably seen more big screen adaptations than any other. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth, the Netflix produced film, which saw a very limited theatrical run before its release on the streaming platform a few days ago, has a budget of $120 million and aims to be the definitive adaptation of Shelley’s novel. Guillermo del Toro is one of Steve and John’s favourite filmmakers and they’ve been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to celebrate his filmography. The guys also discuss previous adaptations of Shelley’s book, from the James Whale/Boris Karloff films of the 1930’s to the Hammer Films version starring Christopher Lee.
