Show Notes

This week we come to you from the year without a summer, as well as everyone's high school reading list, to bring you a tale of monsters and storms and Romantic woe. Believe us when we say that the opinions were flowing fast and loose this episode! #JusticeForElizabeth Talking Points: Victor Frankenstein's unhealthy coping mechanisms; the bonds between creator and created and how they mimic those of parents and their children; way too many Jeff Goldblum references; the Russian Nesting Doll theory of unreliable narration; how poorly the internet prepared Hannah to read this book; the nature of monstrosity and what it teaches us; the scientific adventures of a punkass undergrad; and, hey, why does no one talk about Elizabeth?
