While in Georgia last week for Savannah College of Art and Design's SCAD Savannah Film Festival, I had the chance to attend a small dinner with *Frankenstein* star Oscar Isaac. He's fantastic in the film, but even more engaging in person. Over a few hours of cocktails and oysters in the basement cellar of the Grey, we chatted about Shakespeare, the current state of arts criticism, our favorite musicals.... They say don't meet your heroes, but if you get the chance to meet Oscar Issac, definitely do it. —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's classic has been adapted countless times, but you better believe Guillermo del Toro's take on the Gothic tale (fulfilling a lifelong dream of his) is unlike all the others. The Oscar-winning director's Victor Frankenstein and the Creature — played by Oscar Issac and a prosthetic-covered Jacob Elordi, respectively — are the center of a father and son story, one of disappointment, abuse, cycles of behavior, pain, regret, and, unlike Shelley's, forgiveness. (These two have some real daddy issues.) Streaming it on Netflix is great for repeat viewings, but if it's still playing on a big screen near you, see it there! —*Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director*

Guillermo del Toro gets personal about how his father's kidnapping shaped *Frankenstein*: 'A grudge takes 2 prisoners'**

Squid Game: The Challenge

Who knew a simple game of catch could be so gripping? Netflix's reality version of the Korean drama is back for season 2 with some new competitions. Plus, there's plenty of new heroes and villains to root for and against. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*

*Squid Game: The Challenge* EPs reveal new season 2 game and cast full of loved ones (exclusive)**

I Wish You All the Best

Tommy Dorfman's directorial debut is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about a nonbinary teenager. Star Corey Fogelmanis shines as Ben in this deeply moving film, which weaves together the pain of parental rejection with the transformative joy of discovering who you are. —*Alamin Yohannes, Social Media Director*

Rosalía’s Lux

Three years after her global breakthrough, *Motomami*, the Spanish phenom has thrown us a total curveball. Each track on her new album, an orchestral opus sung in 14 languages, is inspired by a female saint; every one of them is heavenly. —*Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor*

Little Bear Ridge Road

Two-time Tony winner Laurie Metcalf commands the Broadway stage in this dark — and at times deeply funny — play that takes place on "a couch in a void" and explores dysfunctional family bonds between a caustic aunt and her disillusioned nephew (the also excellent Micah Stock). —*D.R.*
