The Munsters Marineland Easter Carnival

Haven't you always wanted to go to an aquatic mammal trick show/folk music performance with The Munsters? I teased this saying it was an Easter parade. It's not. It WAS technically an Easter special, though, you would never know it.

We had two little bits of Weird Science related ephemera that we wanted to dig into a little bit, but that didn't fit into the episode proper, so join us for some Weird Science bonus features. We're discussing the Oingo Boingo song "Weird Science"...

Hey fiends!

Thanks for joining us on this wild new experiment! We're hoping that this will be a place that we can nerd out about Frankenstein in more weirdly specific ways. We love chatting with folks on social media and over email, but we'l...
