Episode description
Join us on a new journey through sci-fi as we dive into the sub genre of Mad Science. In our first episode, we explore Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, often seen as the first science fiction novel. We'll discuss Shelley’s inspirations and examine two early film adaptations: the 1910 silent film and the iconic 1931 version by James Whale and Universal pictures. Discover how these adaptations shaped the "mad scientist" trope and influenced sci-fi cinema. Let the madness begin!
