This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year,
the randomizer goes all the way back to 1984 to cover one of the
earliest live-action efforts of a rising young talent by the name
of Tim Burton, who in this landmark early work explored many of the
very same themes and motifs that would later become ubiquitous in
his filmography, including the juxtaposition of mundane suburban
life with horror-fantasy tropes, the celebration of misunderstood
outsiders over bland conformists, and of course cool-looking German
expressionist gothic art design absolutely slathered all over the
screen. At the time it was a unique, exemplary work of art from an
obvious future auteur, so naturally Disney buried it like an undead
dog's bone and only released it eight years later after its
director made freakin' Batman. Join Tony Goldmark, Haley Baker
Callahan, David Ganssle and Gaby Tyrrell as they obnoxiously point
out that it's Frankenweenie's monster, not FRANKENWEENIE
(1984)!
