B3 Episode 19 - It's Pride Month! The Old Dark House & Bride of Frankenstein

Booze Boobs and Blood Podcast

It's our favorite month of the year, outside of Halloween, here at the B3 Podcast -- It's PRIDE! We also have the honor of celebrating this special month with our first guest, Veronica from The Chick Lit Book Club Podcast! We are covering James Whale's horror classics, The Old Dark House (1932) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). The ladies break down queer film theory, the Hays Code, and sing way too many show tunes along the way. Also Veronica has a gift for the B3 ladies, and Rae is ashamed to have forgotten the name of Salacious B. Crumb - the B stands for Bodacious.
