Lisa Frankenstein

About this episode

The episode discusses the 2024 dark rom-com 'Lisa Frankenstein' and its connections to 'Weird Science' and 'Jennifer's Body'.

It's mwa-ha-ha season yet again, and if you thought Diablo Cody had mwa'd her last ha with Jennifer's Body, we are like annoyingly excited to correct you by talking about the 2024 "coming-of-rage" dark rom-com Lisa Frankenstein -- a piece seemingly made exactly for our '80s-minted eyes, and a movie that is, if Lisa Frank should somehow be reading these show notes, really just a straightforward remake of Weird Science and nothing to do with her intellectually property in any way ha ha
