Season 9, Episode 19 (Originally released on December 18th, 2025)

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. Today, Jason Hillman returns to the pod to talk Frankenstein — not just Guillermo del Toro’s latest opus, but the monster and myth across its many adaptations. Michael and Jason wax philosophically on what works (and doesn’t) in Frankenstein on film. Spoiler: Michael is far more forgiving than Jason. One point of total agreement, however, is their shared love for Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We dig into all of it.
