Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

The very first science fiction story is also a tale of terror about a man driven to push past the boundaries of what man was meant to know. Following his example is an army of those who have dared play God by building monsters in their quest to explore forbidden knowledge!
Listen in as Gary & Erin are joined by Tom Morris of The Good, The Bad, and the Nerdy Movie Podcast to discuss the various Frankenstein representations, what separates a “normal” scientist vs a “mad” one, the role of regret & ego in their work, the Merry Marvel Madmen, the need for scientific oversight organizations, and how not all of them are the villains of the story.

And remember, if they build death rays, they're not mad scientists, but mad engineers, and that's a whole other episode.
