The Frankencast
The Frankencast is a podcast about Frankenstein, and so much more. Join Anthony Bowman and Eric Velazquez every week as they discuss one Frankenstein movie, recapping the plot, analyzing the cultural relevance, and obsessing over Spinning Science Wheels and Flappy Bats. And just generally having a lot of fun along the way.
