Frankenstein (2025): “Gothic Lighting, Handsome Corpses, and Zero Chemistry”

In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt dive headfirst into Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein. Did it reanimate the Gothic classic or just shuffle stylishly across the screen for two and a half hours? Sophie’s confused about the romance subplot, Matt’s baffled by how the monster looks runway-ready, and both agree the most horrifying part was how little they actually felt. It’s a monster mash of big performances, big prosthetics, and missed emotional beats — with extra credit (but not extra stars) for Jacob Elordi’s commitment to the bit. Hosted on Acast.
