What happens when ambition goes too far? 💀 In this episode, we dissect Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein .

The gothic masterpiece that birthed both science fiction and some serious moral panic. From Victor’s god complex to the creature’s heartbreaking search for love, this story hits deep on obsession, rejection, and the emotional cost of playing creator.

We unravel the symbolism behind Victor’s downfall, explore how rejection can turn innocence into vengeance, and connect Shelley’s warnings to modern debates about AI, cloning, and emotional intelligence. We also compare the 1818 novel to the 1994 film adaptation starring Robert De Niro, questioning whether the movie’s romance twist amplifies or undermines Shelley’s original message.

Expect passionate analysis, sharp humor, and a few “Wait, he was how old when he made that thing?” moments. By the end, you’ll see why Frankenstein remains the ultimate cautionary tale about creation, morality, and the monsters we make intentionally or not.
