Book Club (Readings from the Books that Inspired “Monsters”)
Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themes that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss and read from many of the books that we read in our research while writing our show, “Monsters of the Villa Diodati”. This was not intended to be this long, but as you can hear, once we start going down the rabbit hole, we get drawn in, and keep finding more fascinating excerpts that highly influenced our writing. It’s basically gay monsters book club. You’re welcome.

Frankenstein (1931)
Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1931 film of “Frankenstein ” directed by James Whale for Universal Studios. This film is the standard bearer that all other Monster films follow the template of.

Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” (2024)
Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 2024 music video of “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift from her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department”. Being fairly new Swifties, we were super excited for the new album, but when the music video of this lead single came out and used very clear Mary Shelley and Frankenstein imagery, we were OBSESSED! Listen to us break down the imagery and voice our opinions on where it might have come from.

Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 2024 film, ”Lisa Frankenstein ”, which is one of our new favorites of this series! More than just an 80’s parody comedy horror, screenwriter Diablo Cody crafts an incredibly smart script that pulls elements of Mary Shelley’s history, the Diodati Summer, and the classic Universal films through the vantage point of an 80’s Comedy/Horror film. No small feat to thread that needle. Well done.

Gothic (1986)
Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1986 film, ”Gothic”, which is my least favorite adaptation of the Summer of Darkness. We at least have Natasha Richardson and Julian Sands.
