46: Bride of Frankenstein w/guest Tyler Hyde

  • Summary

  • Bryan and Dave are joined by Tyler Hyde, co-host of the That's Spooky podcast to close out their 2024 Pride series and talk about James Whale's 1935 Magnum Opus, Bride of Frankenstein. It's an absolutely gonzo gothic horror from the dawn of the talkies featuring more thrills and excitement in one of the earliest sequels that somehow manages to end up a better movie than the original. Bride of Frankenstein is a high-energy affair packed with unbelievable characters and performances from some a-list weirdos of their era such as Ernest Thesiger as the sinister Doctor Praetorius and the lovely Elsa Lanchester playing duo roles and Mary Shelley and the iconic Bride who, despite your expectations, occupies the screen for a scant few minutes but still manages to leave a powerful mark on the history of film. There is also a deeply queer interpretation of the movie which begs the question, was this subtext intended by James Whale? Was it purely subconscious? Are we just reaching?
