Our Summer Semester rolls on as we tackle our favorite film of this Summer Sequel Sizzler so far: Son of Frankenstein!
We discuss the effect of German immigration on the look of the film, the lost Bela Lugosi screen test and his finest hour as Ygor, the film's obvious influence on Young Frankenstein and more!
We also talk about the latest set photos from Crystal Lake and Erykah Badu's "Tyrone" before the film discussion, so skip ahead 15 or so minutes to about the time we are talking about Jack White punching the lead singer of the Von Bondies in the early 2000s and then you should be good.
