This week is the show's first Hammer film, Frankenstein Created Woman! From wiki: "Frankenstein Created Woman is a 1967 British Hammer horror film directed by Terence Fisher. It stars Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Susan Denberg as his new creation. It is the fourth film in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Where Hammer's previous Frankenstein films were concerned with the physical aspects of the Baron's work, the interest here is in the metaphysical dimensions of life, such as the soul's relationship to the body."

But first! Dead Boy Detectives wraps and Drusilla wears Vivienne Westwood bare tits shirts to the reunion. Updates on the vintage jaguar and Cult of the Lamb. Little Demon on FX/Hulu. Drusilla rewatched Brian de Palma's Femme Fatale. The duo goes down an emotional rabbit hole on female heists and Muppets.
