In Each Retelling

The podcast where we explore how old tales are made new! Whether it's the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, or the most ancient of mythologies, it seems creators can't help but keep putting their own spin on old stories, and we're going to tackle every flavor we can get our nerdy hands on.

Today is Frankenstein Day, and it's past time this podcast finally ventured to the original Universal Monster movies, and we are here to celebrate the face that launched a thousand Halloween ephemera and decry one of the worst deadbeat dads in all of fiction. Join Jas, Gillian, Justin, Alex, and for the very first time Krissy as we gush over the ever iconic visuals, ponder whether this movie does any of the nuances and themes of Mary Shelley's magnum opus justice, and question whether or not that little girl was so innocent.

The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein are solely those of the speakers. Additionally, this podcast contains swearing, and discussions of the desecration of corpses, period typical racism and sexism, abusive parents, the death of a child, murder by hanging, murder by arson, transphobia, and the current state of science and nature.
