About this listen
In this episode we conclude our season exploring the legacy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by looking at the greatest monster humanity ever created: society itself! We begin with a discussion of how the evils of capitalism and systemic inequality seem to have been a recurring theme throughout our previous episodes, and follow on from this by analysing 70s dystopia classic Soylent Green (07:08) and Brian Yuzna’s splatstick satire Society (01:01:24), We end with some Honourable Mentions of other films where society itself becomes monstrous (01:40:05). Yes, this one gets a bit political but the best horror and sci-fi films often do, don't they?
Content warning: Just a heads up that some pretty gnarly stuff happens in Society and our discussion gets right into the gory details.
Hosted, produced, and edited by Liam Dunn and Lindsay Hallam
