Re-Animator (1985) & Poor Things (2023): Reanimated & Reimagined
Season 7 · Episode 22
jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:16:10
"Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow!"
We're diving head-first (literally) into the weird world of Frankenstein's legacy once again, with Re-Animator (1985) and Poor Things (2023). From glowing green serums to brain-swapping brilliance, we explore how both films rewire the Frankenstein formula mixing horror, humour, and the eternal question of whether a mad science creation can ever truly go 'right'.
