What were the problematic issues with this film? And more importantly … who is this movie aimed at? Dog lovers? Lovers of some good ol’ Aussie history? Blokey blokes? You be the judge.

The FrankenPod - A Gothic Literature and Cinema PodcastPottery and Sculpture with PrometheusIn this mini episode, I am going to introduce the myth of Prometheus as it is so critical to Frankenstein or the modern day Prometheus by Mary Shelley. I was going to retell the story of Prometheus the same way I first read it, in a 1920s children's adaption very similar to the kind I used to read at my Nanna and Grandpa's house when I was a kid. But I hadn't anticipated how woefully inaccurate this retelling would be. So instead I'm going to attempt to break the myth down myself. This could be r...

Tanked UpTanked Up 93 – FrankenPodWell we tried. This is two pods mashed together. The first is a beer each and a discussion on Spec Ops: The Line between Ben, Lucy and Aadil. This then runs into a second podcast recorded the week before. In it Ben had to leave because of a screaming child and then a computer reboot, unscheduled, lost his audio. So, it’s Lucy talking about Cuphead, Aadil talking about Road Redemption and then pure chaos because Aadil and Lucy were unsupervised. Enjoy.
