Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club · Frankenstein by Mary Shelley with Vanessa Hammick · 14 May 2026 podcast

He does kill William deliberately, I think, but it almost is that.

But William's shouting, he's trying to make him cry.

Yeah, just trying to, and that is really sad.

And in the 1931 film,

The little girl who, in the book, he saves and then her father shoots him because he's the villain.

So it's kind of like, I've just saved your daughter and yet you're attacking me because of how I look.

So it's very much a book about the outsider.

But in the film, the little girl was playing with him and they're flowing...

flowers into the lake and then he runs out of flowers so because she's pretty like a little flower he throws her into the lake thinking she'll float and she drowns and then you've got her dad carrying her through the streets we could barely watch it it was so bleak is that the Kenneth Branagh one that they do that no that's the 1931 version oh god that must be so bleak that's the other thing that keeps me coming back to Frankenstein kind of against my will yeah you are in a relationship with this book I hate it but I

Any adaptation that gets made for the rest of my life, I will watch.

I have to.

Yeah, it's got you, this book.

It's compelling.

It's completely...

Oh, my God.

Well, obviously I fantasise about doing a one-woman version of it.

Why don't you do that?

But I just think it could all just totally be inside his head and just this self-obsession, these self-obsessive leaps.

um but it does it does she said offers that several times i can't trust my version of it believe me it doesn't sound true yeah i don't know my point i've been so feverish yes exactly yeah exactly yeah so i i think that's that would be the obvious thing but obviously i do really love poor things the film and the book is brilliant as well but i just think what emma stone brings to the film is what like it just really elevates it for me um

Oh, gosh, you've really asked me now.
