Lisa Frankenstein — Love as an (un)living altar to grief

Mental Health is Horrifying

This episode talks about 2024 gothic romance horror comedy delight Lisa Frankenstien and its portrayal of the grieving process through the eyes of Lisa in all her sensitive, emo, goth teen glory. This movie is quirky, and silly, and romantic, and touching and I’m so glad that it exists and that it pays a beautiful tribute to its godmother, Mary Shelley.

Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
