Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN (2025) + ROOFMAN (Full Spoiler Talk)

We’re back with a spoiler-filled double feature of ROOFMAN and Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN (2025). We unpack why ROOFMAN feels like an instant “Reddit classic,” how it fits in that cozy mid-2000s Little Miss Sunshine / Logan Lucky / adult dramedy lane, and whether Channing Tatum just delivered one of his best performances opposite a lights-out Kirsten Dunst.

Then we go long on GDT’s FRANKENSTEIN.

  • Is Oscar Isaac miscast or perfectly hammy as Victor?
  • Is the movie too sympathetic to its creator, or just honest about tech-bro god complexes?
  • How hard does Jacob Elordi cook as the Creature?
  • Do the practical effects and gore outweigh the “Netflix look” of the CG backdrops?
  • Mia Goth as the true nature-vs-nurture conscience of the movie
  • Frankenstein as an AI / capitalism / “move fast and break things” parable
