In Episode 210, we kick off our latest segment: “The Pals’ Favorite Films of the Century!” Over the next five episodes, we’ll each share our top five favorite movies from every five-year stretch of the 21st century — starting with 2000–2004. Expect nostalgia, debate, and plenty of surprises as we look back on 25 years of cinema! Then, we shift gears to our review of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025). With Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as The Creature, this gothic reimagining explores the tragedy and obsession behind one of literature’s most enduring stories. We discuss the film’s tone, visuals, performances, and whether del Toro has once again created a modern classic. 🧠 Spoilers ahead after 1:10:31!
