Frankenstein (GDT's Version)
The Good Pop Culture Club is back at full strength this week! Hanh is back from her Asian vacation and not a moment too soon as we dive into Guillermo Del Toro's take on Mary Shelley's classic (and some may say the OG) science fiction gothic novel, Frankenstein! We were all excited when we learned that GDT, the master of beautifully unsettling visuals and sexy monsters, was taking a stab at this classic tale of man's hubris. Does it live up to the hype?

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
