Welcome back to another spooky season episode of The Blunt Letters podcast! This week we get into the science of reanimation. Mary Shelly based her Frankenstein story on “true events,” what were they and where are we now when it comes to restoring life to the dead? And, in light of the new Beetlejuice movie, we bring you a Let Me Tell You About This Movie all about Tim Burton’s new sequel and revisit our favorite sci-fi animation series from the ’90s: Beetlejuice, The Real Ghost Busters, and X-Men: The Animated Series.
