"The Bride!"

from The Next Best Picture Podcast · host Evergreen Podcasts

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Ema Sasic, Nadia Dalimonte, Megan Lachinski, and Sara Clements join me to discuss the latest film from Maggie Gyllenhaal, "The Bride!" starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. Drawing inspiration from the 1935 film "Bride of Frankenstein," which was based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel "Frankenstein," the film is a reimagining of Shelley's characters set in 1936 that spans many genres and takes a pro-feminist approach. What did we think of it, though? Tune in as we discuss the story, performances, makeup work, visual aesthetic, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
