It’s our Halloween episode! Brucker Nourse from the Autopsy of a Horror Movie podcast joins Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn and Al to talk about the first wave of Universal Studios monster movies in the 1930s: Dracula, Frankenstein (and Bride of…), The Invisible Man, and The Mummy. Are these actually enjoyable to modern audiences, or is their value primarily in seeing how influential they were on later filmmakers? We talk about the many peculiar choices that went into these films and how quickly studios then turned them to pure cheese with their sequels and crossovers and injections of Abbot and Costello.

Follow us @bruckerhorror, @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @ixisnox, @MarkLinsenmayer.

What is Pretty Much Pop?

Pretty Much Pop brings together philosophers, artists, comedians, and other smart folks to talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.
