The reaction to GDT’s Frankenstein has been surprisingly polarized. I’m seeing a lot of vehement takes I can’t get fully behind either direction, bc I’m somewhere in the middle? So much I loved, but I have critiques. I’ll rewatch, since we’re probably covering it on @inktofilm.bsky.social

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017 Film) | From the Vault [AUDIO ONLY]
Jake Kasden reimagines Jumanji for a modern audience while making clever connections to the original that manages to keep this latest entry in line with the classic Robin Williams-led version. He delivers star-power with The Rock, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and Kevin Hart, who all give memorable comedic performances. Join Luke & James for this video-game flavored take on a classic adaptation for this former Patreon-exclusive!

Del Toro's Frankenstein made me think of THIS adaptation, which honestly it might have the most in common with. Let's talk about "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" (1994)!

In "Room 237" Rodney Ascher presents wild interpretations/conspiracy theories about "The Shining." Some are relatively grounded, while others rely on outlandish ideas. But is it possible the whole doc is a deliberate showcase of fan obsession & over-analysis?

What's the point of meaningless death? "The Long Walk" (2025) takes a stab at providing an answer, and in the process changes a Richard Bachman story into one more in line with Stephen King's sensibilities. But which version was better? Let's discuss!

Starship Troopers (1997) is THE blueprint for #Helldivers.
Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of Heinlein’s classic novel divided critics at the time, but its antifascist subtext sure hits different in 2025.
