Media Ghouls Episode 148 - Young Frankenstein

Published: Oct. 31, 2019, 7:02 a.m.

Happy Halloween! The 2019 Halloween Spooktacular comes to a close this week as our Frankenstein marathon concludes with our review of the Mel Brooks comedy classic, Young Frankenstein! Gene Wilder and friends band together to both pay homage and parody everything we've looked at this October. Justin and Ian actually find a lot more subtle references to every Frankenstein film from the Universal era, including Abbott and Costello! With dozens of quotable lines and expertly crafted visual gags, it's shocking to find how respectful this film is to the originals that inspired it. Truly a tribute to the work of Whale, Karloff, Pierce and everyone else involved with establishing Frankenstein in film! If you missed out on this month's bonus episode, consider becoming a Patron! You will be granted access to our episode on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as well as our back catalog of bonus episodes!
