Shownotes

The boys are hitting the streets of grimy New York (and Jersey) for Frankenhooker directed by Frank Hennenlotter. We're joined by Frankenstein historian Brian Keiper (Holy Terrors) to discuss the comedic approach, the surprisingly complicated themes, and the iconography of the TITular character. Some need drugs, some people need booze, some just need some surgical assistance!
