** This episode was recorded and released prior to Scarlett Amaris telling her story of abuse at the hands of her partner, Richard Stanley. We do briefly discuss Stanley's work on the early production of the film and his return to set.
We believe and support Ms. Amaris and will not cover Stanley's work moving forward. In addition, we have donated $200 to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in honor of Ms. Amaris to ensure that Patreon funds received during the time of recording and release do not go to supporting Stanley's work. **
We've got an appointment with the doctor - Dr. Moreau, that is! We're discussing the H.G. Wells novella The Island of Dr. Moreau, the 1932 adaptation Island of Lost Souls, and the disaster-plagued 1996 remake!
