Guillermo del Toro Sums Up 2025 for Movie Lovers

We are wrapping up a busy year with a truly wonderful guest: Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, one of the most celebrated directors working today. From the early genre efforts like Cronos and The Devil's Backbone all the way through Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, del Toro has built a career out of generating empathy for monsters and mining them for all the metaphorical value they offer up. It was only a matter of time before he directed his attention toward the most famous fictional monster at the center of FRANKENSTEIN, as he has done with his new adaptation of the Mary Shelly novel. Del Toro joined us for a conversation about his longstanding obsession with the material, and closed out the chat with a poignant series of observations about the past year and how the movies helped us through it.
