We dodge the Hays Code while proclaiming that we are divine as we roll back to talk about one of the classics, the 1931 film by James Whale, Frankenstein. Names get changed, brains get zippy zapped, and heads get bonked as we talk about this original monster movie. We will answer the hard questions! Who is Frankenstein? Why do queers betray each other? Is science gay?
In the end, the conversation is alive, it's alive, it's alive!
