Happy Halloween, creeps and creature-lovers! In this haunted holiday episode of Get Doc’d, your ghoulishly good hosts dig up The Frankenstein Complex—the monstrously fun documentary about the brilliant weirdos behind cinema’s greatest creatures. Think Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Guillermo del Toro, and a whole lot of slime, sweat, and foam rubber.

We’re talking practical effects legends who handcrafted horror icons using nothing but latex, animatronics, and pure monster-loving madness. From werewolf transformations to bug-eyed aliens, these mad geniuses built the nightmares that haunted our childhoods—long before CGI tried to erase their beautifully grotesque art.

Join us as we celebrate the monsters, mishaps, melted faces, and flaming puppets that made movie magic feel real—and hilariously dangerous. It’s a spook-tacular romp through creature-feature history, with all the blood, guts, and goo you could ask for (but you won’t have to clean it up).

So toss on a costume, light that jack-o’-lantern, and tune in for a fang-tastic Halloween special that’s equal parts love letter and monster mash.

This week on Get Doc’d, Daphne and Michael “El Profesor” are joined by a very special guest — Grandma Beba herself (aka Hilda) — to dive into the hauntingly bizarre documentary A Cursed Man.

Was he really cursed… or just really bad at making life choices? 🕯️ Expect spirited debates, dramatic gasps, and Beba’s unfiltered wisdom that may or may not summon a few laughs (and possibly ghosts).

So grab your pumpkin spice (or coquito - wepa!!!), light a candle, and get ready for curses, chaos, and cackles.

💀 Tune in to Get Doc’d — where documentaries get spooky, and grandma steals the show!

In this electrified episode of Get Doc’d, your hosts jack into the neon-drenched mainframe of cinema history to discuss The Making of Tron (2002) and the OG digital fever dream, Tron (1982). We’re talking Jeff Bridges in a glowing jumpsuit, evil AIs with daddy issues, and special effects so experimental they made the Academy go, “Nah, that’s cheating.” (Yes, seriously—they disqualified it for using computers. Wild.)

The hosts take you behind the scenes of this glitchy-yet-glorious cult classic, diving into the painstaking backlit animation process—aka hand-painting every frame like it’s a glowing flipbook from the future—and the real-world tech geniuses who helped bring the Grid to life. You’ll hear about how director Steven Lisberger’s video game obsession somehow turned into a Disney movie, why the documentary is just as fascinating as the film, and how Tron managed to inspire everything from The Matrix to your cousin’s NFT pitch deck.

It’s a love letter to retro-futurism, digital dreams, and the brave souls who thought, “What if we put a frisbee in cyberspace and made it awesome?” So put on your lightcycle helmet, grab your identity disc, and get ready for a nostalgic joyride through one of the most ambitious, misunderstood, and glow-in-the-dark sci-fi films ever made.
