Episode 67: Renfield
Mindframe(s)
Dave and Michael tackle the outrageous world of "Renfield," a film that follows the comical journey of Dracula's henchman as he tries to break free from what has been reframed in modern terms as a toxic codependent relationship with the notorious Count. Nicolas Cage delivers a full-Cage performance as Dracula. Renfeild offers a feast of side-splitting humor, sometimes literal side-splitting, great performances, and great entertainment that is worth going to a theater to see.
