Episode 161 - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein
Sunday, 2 August, 2026
For nearly his entire life, Guillermo del Toro dreamed of bringing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the screen. In 2025, that dream finally became a reality. In this special episode of Missing Frames, Shawn Eastridge is joined once again by acclaimed comic book writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Infernal Hulk, Batman and Robin, Superman: The Warworld Saga) for an in-depth exploration of Guillermo del Toro's latest effort. Together, they discuss how del Toro’s Frankenstein reflects the themes that have defined his entire career and why Mary Shelley's 200-year-old novel continues to inspire artists across generations. Along the way, they dive into the responsibilities of adapting beloved stories, the relationship between creators and their creations, and what separates great storytellers from great craftsmen. Phillip also offers fascinating insights into his own creative process, discussing writer's block and artistic inspiration. He even teases ideas and themes from his highly anticipated Midnight Spider-Man series.
