We're talking about the original Frankenstein this week! del Toro has been out talking about this was his big inspiration for...everything! With this, at the very least, being the inspiration for his new Frankenstein movie we figured we'd take a look and see what all the hub bub was about. Oh! Also...Chris is tired of spooky crap so he demanded we watch Young Frankenstein. Funny! Comedy! Happiness!!!

We're watching both! You can find Frankenstein (1931) on Prime Video but if you're looking for Young Frankenstein you may need to do your own bit of science to bring it back from the dead cause that thing isn't streaming anywhere. We only found it through a bit of string pulling on a person's Plex account that we know. But it's fun!

On to the shows and come back next week for our discussion of del Toro's Frankenstein!

This week we're taking a deep dive into Nick's childhood with a viewing of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! This is a film Nick saw on TNT when he was young that stuck with him and was clearly formative in his views on monster movies and horror. Will it hold up? More importantly, what does it tell us about cinema views the pitfalls of literary horror? Also...did Chris watch this thing? I'm not sure he watched it!

It's on to our first episode for Cycle 3! As we build up to discussing Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Frankenstien we thought we'd discuss his previous monster movie...The Shape of Water.

I'm not even going to hide my enthusiasm for this film -- it's great. We both thought so. But why? Find out on this week's episode!

We're back with a planning episode! If you've never heard one of these before, we've always gated this behind the paywall of our Patreon (patreon.com/somewhereonthescreen) but with our new plans moving forward, these will be up for everyone! Hooray!

On this bonus episode we talk about the new cycle and what we're going to cover with a bit of "why" involved.

If you're one of those "I don't know want to know before I hear it!" don't read any further but if you're just here to know what you need to study...

This cycle we're going to be covering the new Frankenstein film by Guillermo del Toro! del Toro is an amazing director (and quietly directed the best superhero film evey made) so we thought we'd check it out.

To get you ready though, we're also going to discuss:

1) The Shape of Water - Guillermo del Toro's phenomenal Oscar-winning film which is pretty clearly a precursor to this film.

2.) Mary Shelly's Frankenstien - The Frankenstien film which is most people's touchstone when thinking of Frankenstien on the big screen.

3.) A double feature!!! Frankenstien (1931)/The Bride of Frankenstien -- we wanted to throw in a comedy (okay...Chris demanded we throw in a comedy) but apparently you need to watch the original to understand the jokes...so that's what we're gonna do!

Thanks for sticking with us and we can't wait to be back in your ears with more amazing conversations about what's Somewhere on the Screen!

Hey! We finally figured it out! Thank you so much for bearing with us as we worked to figure out exactly how we wanted to move forward and whether we wanted to move forward. Having Joe leave us was sad...wait, like "leave us" as in the show -- he's still alive. We talk. He just isn't recording at 1am with us any more. Point is, it was sad but we've found a way I think we can still continue and make it work.

Take a listen to all the things here and let us know what you think. If you have thoughts you'd like to share with us you can send them to somewhereonthescreen@gmail.com

As we continue to discuss how to proceed, we wanted to take a moment to discuss a documentary that has sprung out of nowhere to take us into the shocking world of...BIRD WATCHING!!!

We decided to talk about a new, documentary that's been making it's way across the internet called Listers. Is a facinating film about two brothers who, stoned out of their mind one day, decide to take up bird watching at the highest and most competitive level...and film it. What follows is the most amazing look into what can seem like America's dullest passtime.

You can find the film on Youtube HERE for free and then we encourage you to listen and share your thoughts. Especially if there are any birders out there who can really put this into perspective for us, send us an email at somewhereonthescreen@gmail.com

Oof...y'all. It's been a week. First and foremost, we want to apologize for the brevity of this capstone episode for our Toxic Avenger cycle. If you've been with us through all of this, you've put a lot of time into waiting for our thoughts on this episode and we're coming up short for you. Between some technical issues and emotional issues stemming from the news at the top of the episode, it was just a tough recording session. We apologize and promise to return to our usual extra long episode full of raving rants and pseudointellectual gobbldegook. In the meantime, here's Toxie...

Grab your notebook and a writing utensil, we're going back to school as it's a Chris episode this week! Chris is taking us through what many people likely think of when hearing about the toxic avenger...the Toxic Crusaders! If you don't know about the Toxic Cursaders, it's an early-90's children's cartoon about the Toxic Avenger. How does it play into the upcoming release of Toxic Avenger (2023)? Who knows! But we're going to find out how it plays into the history of the Toxic Avenger!
