About this episode
"Got any money?! Wanna party?!" For the second time this year, we're checking out a Frank Henenlotter text as the indie director's Frankenhooker celebrates its 35th anniversary. Expect plenty of praise for Patty Mullen's (too brief!) comedic performance, talk of the film's exploitation elements, and debate about Jeffrey's likeability. Plus: sequel vs remake, a trans reading, and why exploding dummies are always funny.
