Chug your milk, don your ruffled shirts and get ready to shoot lightning bolts through your lymphatic system as we re-animate Guillermo del Toro' latest creature-feature: Frankenstein! Returning to play god with us is Dr. Marina Escolano-Poveda (@hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social)!

This episode epitomizes our approach to discussing films. We're not about nitpicking what a movie gets "right" from source material, but rather we unpack how such differences reflect our current culture & selves. Thanks @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social for the talk and @realgdt.bsky.social for the film!
In this season's attempt to highlight films that might have fallen under the radar, the Movies We Dig Crew revisits Agora along with special guest, Dr. Marina Escolano-Poveda @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social.
Listen now at shows.acast.com/movies-we-di....
We talk the horrors of science, the sins of the father(s) and the benefits of a classical education for developing Creatures, along with all the changes, big and small, between del Toro's adaptation and Mary Shelley's 1818 novel. Listen now at movieswedig.com or wherever you like to listen!
¡Muchísimas gracias! 🥰
