In this delightfully absurd comedic romp, actor David Harbour sets out to uncover the truth about his late father, a celebrated thespian he never knew, by delving into a lost televised play. What he discovers is a bizarre broadcast starring his father, played by David Harbour in a dual role, as the infamous Dr. Frankenstein in a hilariously overwrought and chaotic production. As the lines between reality and ridiculous fiction blur, Harbour navigates a world of pompous actors, including the scene-stealing Alfred Molina, and a wildly reinterpreted gothic tale where the monster might just be the acting itself. This clever meta-comedy, directed by Daniel Gray Longino, skewers actorly pretension and family legacy with a sharp wit, all while paying homage to classic monster movie tropes in the most unexpectedly funny ways.
