Episode description
What happens when you cross Frankenstein with Alraune? You get SHE DEVIL (1957) from director Kurt Neumann, starring Mari Blanchard, Jack Kelly and Albert Dekker, and adapted from Stanley Weinbaum's 1935 story "The Adaptive Ultimate."
Your hosts discuss the ways the film fails, how its "problematic," and the cultural tropes it uses without questioning them.
