Episode 579 – Frankenstein / Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere / Blue Moon

Welcome to the Moviewallas Podcast! This week, your hosts Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi return with a rich, wide-ranging triple bill featuring a gothic reimagining, a music legend, and a chamber piece from a master filmmaker. In this episode: FRANKENSTEIN Guillermo del Toro takes on Mary Shelley’s iconic tale with a new vision starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. How does this adaptation stand out among the many Frankenstein films that came before it? The team explores the film’s scope, performances, and place in del Toro’s body of work. SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE Director Scott Cooper turns his lens on Bruce Springsteen’s creation of the Nebraska album, with Jeremy Allen White portraying The Boss and doing his own singing. The group weighs in on the tone, performances, and how this stacks up among recent musical biopics. BLUE MOON Richard Linklater returns with a dialogue-driven character study featuring Ethan Hawke as Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. With a stacked cast and a theatrical setup, this quiet drama invites questions about creative legacy, ego, and reinvention. PLUS… • A mooncake snack break • A quick trip through Del Toro’s monster canon • Musings on cinematic talkiness and the art of restraint Like, comment, and subscribe if you love thoughtful, film-forward conversations with a global lens and a dose of fun.
