Special Report: The Bride! (2026)

She's been dug up, renamed, reanimated, and gaslit — and Hollywood expects her to be grateful. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! (2026) resurrects the Bride of Frankenstein for a 1930s Chicago that feels equal parts Weimar cabaret and DC fever dream, with Jessie Buckley delivering a ferocious, uncontainable performance at the center of a film that can't quite contain itself. Chris Stachiw and Mike dig into the ideas the film gets right, the heavy hand that undercuts them, and why a $90 million feminist monster movie ending on The Monster Mash is both the most logical and least earned conclusion imaginable.
