Philip and Lara discuss the new adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from Guillermo del Toro and Netflix, featuring a star-studded cast and an impressive awards season run. This visual spectacle follows the life journey of Victor Frankenstein, son of a renowned surgeon and aristocrat, who suffers the loss of his mother at a young age. Victor becomes obsessed with the human anatomy and the preservation of one's natural life. Whilst conducting macabre experiments with human cadavers, he discovers a way to reanimate an assemblage of body parts, leading to his and his wealthy benefactor's fully-fledged scientific pursuit in the service of playing God. Their efforts yield miraculous results, but their hubris leads to certain dire consequences.
