The Arkham Sessions, hosted by Dr. Andrea Letamendi and Brian Ward, is a weekly podcast dedicated to the psychological analysis of pop culture, including Batman: The Animated Series, Steven Universe, the MCU, Star Wars, and Doom Patrol. Nostalgic, humorous, and even a little educational, each episode promises to lend some insight into the heroes, villains, and classic stories of the Dark Knight and more!
The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 253 – Frankenstein (2025)
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025) is a visually stunning adaptation of the original novel by Mary Shelley. Del Toro turns the well-known horror story of Frankenstein into a romantic, emotionally absorbing fairy tale. He softens the grotesqueness of The Creature by giving him tenderness and benevolence, angling the perspective to heighten audiences’ sense of compassion and even relatability toward an individual who does not earn the abandonment and cruelty given to him.
