Jason Squared

Happy Halloween!  Sadly, the Month of Spooky Sh#% comes to an end, but not before the Jasons go truly old-school and check out some of the classic Universal Monster movies. They visit the Big Three of the Universal Monsters movies - Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931 also) and The Wolf Man (1941). They discuss different film audiences expectations, then and now, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., whether any of these men gave good performances or not, the iconographic nature of these characters and depicitions, novels vs. plays vs. movies, whether the 1940s audience paid any more attention than the modern audience, Universal's plans to resurrect these characters in an Avengers-style team-up movie, and more!
