About this episode

The hosts discuss the 1962 version of The Phantom of the Opera and its comparisons to earlier adaptations.

In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” dive back down into the sewers for another spin on the classic Phantom of the Opera! Join them as they discuss the new mask, the star that almost was, the similarities and differences between Hammer’s film and Universal’s 1925 and 1943 versions, and why this Phantom is ultimately just… fine?
