Episode Synopsis

Guillermo del Toro is back! This time, he's putting out his lifelong passion project: an adaptation of Mary Shelley's iconic FRANKENSTEIN... on Netflix. I have admired GDT as a filmmaker for my entire life as a cinephile and am always game to see WHATEVER he's putting out in theaters... or, err, on Netflix. Back a few days ago, I had the amazing privilege to see Frankenstein at it's UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival Gala on Monday. Guillermo, as well as the whole cast, was in attendance and gave a lovely introduction before the movie. I just wish I could come on here and report better news about the movie itself.
