Episode description

The Stabby Roadsters kick off "Horror Comedies" with the wellspring from which all horror comedies came: 1948's "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein", presented by JOE. Highlights:

- Sonia reveals that she's probably the only Millennial who knows who Claude Rains is (look him up)

- What happens after 23 hours of "edging"

- How many full moons are there in a given month in the Universal Monsterverse?

- The realization that this is perhaps, sadly, Bela Lugosi's greatest film performance

- Rob posits that this film influenced the creation of Scooby Doo

- Joe "Forrest Gump of Horror" breaks his previous record of "Did I tell you this story", but all about Universal backlot shenanigans

- The group comes to the conclusion that this film is one of the reasons why it took Finland 75 years to join NATO

- Also, don't miss a deep dive into the world of porn parodies!
