The rainbow suspenders at the end are a homage to Robin Williiams from the director of this movie, his daughter Zelda :')

[@elisefuller7123]

Aw how sweet

[@itscarriebomb]

If this movie were a person, I'd be following it all around the halls at school like a lovesick puppy and drawing a heart around its photo in the yearbook. Who else is already hunting for a Lisa Frankenstein-inspired Halloween costume?!

[@megdelaney3677]

I've seen some online, just type it in.

[@charmleneboni]

I got my costume! :-)

[@itscarriebomb]

@@charmleneboni I'm jealous! Where did you find your pieces?

[@queenvictoria4237]

Same

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Me!! and Im already wanting it to be a broadway musical like Heathers

[@ryangacha39]

Taffy is played by Liza Soberano, a very famous Philippine actress, and she was incredible portraying the character!

[@mandyb2245]

I think the dad in this is the same actor who plays Mike and Nancy's dad in Stranger Things. That dad and this dad are pretty much the same. There, but absent minded and spineless too.

[@agenttheater5]

We said it with 'Totally Killer' and we're saying it again now with 'Lisa Frankenstein' - the 80s are back!

[@itscarriebomb]

Except without the Cold War fears and with all the tech we didn't have back then. Win phucking WIN.

[@deanahicks6744]

As an 80’s kid the nostalgia of that era is like a warm blanket on a snowy day with hot cocoa 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@JaCkIeYoUnG1221]

I had no idea Carla Gugino was going to be in this and honeyyyy she ate down like always. Kathryn Newton slayed again. I’m in need of a Husband of Lisa Frankenstein sequel 😩😩😩

[@athenstar10]

It's nice that you appreciated the actor that played Taffy. This is her first acting project in US. I hope she keeps it up.

[@velky_reeds]

Liza freaking slayed it as Taffy, when I heard the announcement that she was in this movie, I thought she was just gonna be a side character, I was pleasantly surprised to see how important her character was.

[@jasmineevaristo3752]

I absolutely love Taffy and I think Lisa's dynamic with her is such a crucial part of this movie. Loved this reaction. The reception to this one has been pretty polarizing (as is typical of a Diablo Cody joint), but the girls that get it, REALLY get it. The "Dammit Janet" reference was so perfect, I was tickled.

[@springheartedtiger]

I love Taffy’s dynamic with Lisa too

[@aaunyea4799]

I was expecting Taffy to be faking it, but she was so genuine! I loved her so much ❤

[@xXPixXx]

This movie is awesome, it's camp and it's romantic and I'm buying it on DVD because it has my whole heart

[@PettyPumpkins]

Yes!!! Such a fun watch and amen to physical media! 🙏🏻📀💕

[@StanleyMancil]

This movie also refers to the classic black-and-white movie Bride of Frankenstein

[@itscarriebomb]

P.S. Quick history lesson: Freshen Up gum had a liquid center, so that's what you see oozing out from between their fingers in the dream scene. 🤣

[@COSun25]

The fact that this film dropped on digital this week after 2-3 weeks in U.S. cinemas has me worried about Zelda Williams as a director for future films. I WANT her to do well in the medium, but dang, man.

[@Karen_Tries]

😂 why did I also think she meant Michael’s the store?! 😂 💀

[@GoddessGirl2121]

This movie was simultaneously everything I thought it was going to be and nothing that I thought it would be and I loved absolutely everything about it!!!😊😊😊

[@nightmeowonelmstreet215]

Taffy is a queen

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

I saw this movie with friends the other day at my local theater and we had the whole place to ourselves. We got to talk and laugh as much as we wanted. Halfway through, someone said "Why does that look like Cole Sprouse?" Girl, because it is 😂 Sadly, I found out yesterday that the theater is closing down. I've been going there for literally 30 years and now I'll always cherish my Lisa Frankenstein experience. 💗 This movie gave me Warm Bodies, Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands vibes and I loved it. Definitely teared up at the end when "The Creature" could finally speak and we see he rescued Lisa. ❤‍🩹

[@seratoninbooster]

Yes!! The Warm Bodies vibes were exactly what got me excited to watch this movie tho the cast def helped ;)

[@yushigo12]

Kathryn Newton is a modern scream queen I just love her ever since Paranornal Activity 4. Also Liza Soberano who played Taffy I love seeing her here. I love her as an actress and watched all of her movies and show from the Philippines. It's nice seeing her in a movie out of her elements especially most of her works would be rom-com. Cole Sprouse is such an attractive zombie ❤️ also for an almost dialogue-less character he did an amazing job especially with his movements. I love this movie, and definitely now my favourite.

[@itswessums]

The more I think about this movie the more I love it 😭😭😭

[@Nixxxdraven]

I adore this movie with all of my heart instant cult classic

[@kai_the_trashpanda7363]

I loved this movie when I saw it in theaters and tbh it is really good and apparently it’s set in the same universe of Jenifer’s body

[@elisefuller7123]

Kathryn newton is awesome , I’ve loved her since I saw her on Supernatural

[@shooshoo4590]

I love a movie made for the weirdo teen girl I once was, let weird girls make more movies!! And the 'Beloved Wife' carved on the tombstone has my heart WEAK

[@Daisyrie_]

The actress playing Taffy is actually a famous actress in the Philippines, Liza Soberano. She’s really good, I’m so happy seeing her in Hollywood cause I watch her films and series growing up. ❤❤❤❤ Can’t wait to see more of her.

[@marie-ie5no]

JUST WATCHED THIS THE OTHER NIGHT!!! I’m so HAPPYYY you guys reacted to this 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Fayesnotthatcool4398]

New favorite channel, and omg this movie.. 😭

[@PettyPumpkins]

Thank you so much!!! 💚 glad you love the movie as much as we do! 😍

[@nicholasg8253]

I saw this 10 times in the theater. I loved it SO damn much!! Watching you guys watch it was absolute gold. You had me howling with yalls reactions

[@springheartedtiger]

I loved Lisa singing along to Creature’s piano playing ❤️ Also, the ending was spooky and super cute, the two became happily married 🖤🖤

[@lynettec66]

I adore this movie so much! Ty for the reaction video!!! Best creative use of the song On the Wings of Love!

[@ashleyh7073]

This was SUCH a good movie!! I wanted to see it in theaters but i got in a wreck and have no car 😫 but this movie is my fave movie ive seen in such a long time!! Idk why theres bad reviews, its so fun. I hope everyone can see how good a director Zelda is

[@Corvid76]

Any chance you'll also do Poor Things with Emma Stone? It will require some heavy editing however. It's not exactly a horror movie, but it does have horror elements. It has a very Wes Anderson like feel and is just an interesting movie.

[@niles8102]

Also, the shadow story in the beginning was inspired by both Kill Bill and Krampus

[@rmo8267]

I also got Corpse Bride vibes from it.

[@logintothebruh]

“are they gonna make me thirst after cole” MY EXACT WORDS yes ma’am

[@Poison_girl87]

This is best reaction video I've seen for this movie! I loved Lisa Frankenstein so much and I'm glad you both did too! 💚

[@ramencat788]

Kathryn is gorgeous as it is but she looked so so good as Lisa, really suited her 🖤. So excited to see the most entertaining pair react to this one ❤️.

[@alaenamcdonald1877]

My Pumpkins make my days 😊 when I’m feeling 😔. Loved watching this new classic with you!!!

[@pillowvibes]

this and saltburn changed my psyche, cleared my skin, and watered my crops tbh

[@jadacaddy2321]

There's something really one of a kind and special about this film. And there's something really special and one of a kind about Zelda Williams. I guess the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree💜

[@duckterquackquack8963]

I was basically on the same train of thought at the end part with you! I don’t know what the ending is and it is a FIRST from watching all predictable rom-coms. The ending served!!!

[@rmo8267]

So far, I've not seen anyone notice that the ax murderer who killed her mom was wearing a bride of Frankenstein mask. Also, every body part they take correlates to how that person did her wrong. Not listening, getting to handsy and "cheating".

[@poeticsparrow]

JUST got home from seeing this in the theater! It was so fun!

[@rebekahshifflett4267]

MY favorite reaction yalll have done in obsessed 🎉❤❤❤❤

[@michaelagirouard8042]

So many friends of mine worked on this movie so to hear y’all talk about how well the lighting is and such warms my heart! Zelda is a wonderful human and we all can’t wait to see what she does next!

[@fullname3982]

This is exactly what I needed 💗💗🙏🏽🎃

[@noahtrevino5908]

“I told you I’d hold your stupid hand” best quote and scene of the movie 🖤 love this movie so much

[@nicholasg8253]

There is a theory I like where The Creature didnt speak up for himself when he was alive so in death he had no tongue and had to SHOW his love when he couldn't tell it. And Lisa the whole movie is completely BLIND to love, the Creature was in front of her the whole time but she was so focused on Michael Trent. So in death shes "Blind" until she learns to see whats in front of her and also...steal someones eyes. ❤

[@juliannehannes11]

The animation is a 1980s callback to when movies had animated credits (like Mqnnequin)

[@Qu33nMary444]

You boys are looking very glittery and fab this video, did you just come from the club? 😍✨️✨️✨️

[@ladybfromnyc]

This movie was AMAZING!!!!! I would so see this again!!!

[@sarahcrockett4508]

"You thought she wanted to make a wreath or something"😂 lol you guys are funny! Subscribed!

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@B8Lola]

I went to theaters with my daughter to watch this movie. We were obsessed. The prefect man he didn’t speak til the end and it was to read to her. Swoon!

[@lisabeloved]

5:51 saltburn has scared me 😳 "dirty" deeds indeed!

[@ChelseaCrystina]

This movie had be sobbing in the cinema. I didn’t expect to be so moved by the love story in a horror comedy. On a side note is it the lights or is there glitter on your eyes? If it is glitter… do it more! It’s STUNNING.

[@PettyPumpkins]

Completely agree about the love story!! Never quite seen a romantic horror movie done quite like this but this movie is absolutely the blueprint!! And yes it’s glitter on our eyes, thank you!! We were just playing around with it but it ended up looking pretty cute! 🥰

[@ChelseaCrystina]

@@PettyPumpkins it’s gorgeous. I was distracted by it the whole video. Now I need to know what glitter it was.

[@JB-nj2wr]

Great reaction ❤

[@blandkpOp]

I absolutely love this movie😭

[@JB-nj2wr]

I love you two ❤

[@Twist3dNipp5]

Diablo cody said that lisa Frankenstein is in the same universe as Jennifer's body.

[@jilliank6379]

The cheer I (and the girl sitting two seats down from me) let out when Janet died was the best experience I’ve ever had with a stranger😂

[@Chloe_prices_spliff]

I highly recommend the movie serial mom. I think you’d both love it

[@Miabear26]

I thought she meant the store, too 😂 I was so confused, like, why do you need to go to Michael's

[@infernusrex796]

This movie is definitely not for me, so it was fun to scan through it with you guys. Ya'll can make even the most dire dreck enjoyable!!

[@StanleyMancil]

I love the movie Jennifer's Body I was hoping for a second one

[@genesisedwards123]

My girl jenna Davis with the blonde hair she voice M3gan

[@Crystal_Aquarius1989]

Really liked this movie

[@7amart177]

When are you guys going to do the rest of the VHS series

[@XanArt21]

I dunno, I thought it had creative and funny parts but it just lacked some momentum. This did embody the 80s more than Totally Killer imo... I totally needed to have the killer of her mom revealed... why did they not resolve this...

[@megdelaney3677]

I like the concept & movie is really cute. But I wanted more info to fill it out. Perhaps some flashbacks in his era. He wouldn't have to speak. - How did he die? How did he lose his hand? How did Lisa's mom really die (specifically)? *Edit: He lost his hand & died due to a bolt of lightning? I'd rather have seen live acting of the past events. And it would have been really cool if Carla Gugino (Janet) had killed Lisa's mom. In the hospital, after a down-played break-in attack.

[@Madbandit77]

I don't think Janet had Lisa's mom killed because Lisa's dad doesn't seem to be a "catch". Diablo probably thought of that while writing the screenplay, but didn't want to down that road.

[@jessielallier9483]

The glitter is giving Twilight, speaking of, WHERE IS THE NEXT VID?!

[@jilliank6379]

Thank you Diablo Cody for revolutionizing bottom surgery

[@tiffanya20]

❤

“You better sow that stinky stick back on.”

🤭🤣

[@tasfizariya2940]

Where i can Watch the movie

[@RonHeartsMe]

The whole time I was watching this movie I was like wtf am I watching??? Kind of Iconic. I wonder if the trauma of what happened to her mother turned Lisa into a psychopath or if she was one all along? She’s so blasé about the killings and being with a murderer lol. But I loved the entire thing!

[@elizabethlynch6544]

Katheryn Newton was Claire Novak in Supernatural

[@elizabethlynch6544]

Also, Cole Sprouse in suspenders reminds me of Sweeney Todd

[@elizabethlynch6544]

Also, I loved the ending. When this comes out on dvd, I'm definitely going to get it

[@pricemoore2022]

​@@elizabethlynch6544Kathryn Newton is also known from Gary Unmarried, Bad Teacher, Paranormal Activity 4, Dog With A Blog, The Martial Arts Kid, Big White Lies, Blockers, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, The Society, Freaky, The Map Of All Things and finally Cassie Lang from Ant-Man And The Wasp Quantumania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

"LISA SWALLOWS" is written above every urinal and in all the toilet stalls in every public restroom in this town! 🎶And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide. Go to pieces and I wanna a die, every time my baby passes by.🎶

[@dawnnn444]

kinda the best movie of all time when u think abt it

[@PettyPumpkins]

So true bestie!!

[@allier1867]

they were so mean to Lisa it hurt my soul to see it

[@Syd948]

If you want a second Lisa Frankenstein leave a like! I'm in love, I need to watch this

[@amandahiggins3309]

My fave movies: jennifer's body and lisa frankenstein. I found my people

[@Ali-gb7mf]

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@legaultrants]

Taffy is so Cordelia coded though

[@AnxietyRat]

If you liked this movie you might like Warm Bodies! It's a Romeo and Juliet reskin into a zombie apocalypse... It's really really good! It's got slightly less comedy than this movie... But I think a touch more romance, IMO. Its great. Super comfort watch for me. But also I totally agree I kind of really want THIS movie to have a sequel! There just wasn't enough romance for me! I mean the interactions that they have are great but they're very platonic for the most part...

[@PettyPumpkins]

We actually just did Warm Bodies on our Patreon last month!! Definitely agree they are sister films, would be a great double feature!

[@artsoundsgreatASMR]

Cole is now 1. on my hot zombie list

[@Miriamforrest]

❤❤❤❤❤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@zeoranger4green313]

let her cook 😭 omg that took me OUT

[@Miabear26]

Not her talking so openly about Lisa's mom dying and trying to give it a happy ending 😒 then allow her to get drugged and leave her. Despicable, just horrible.

[@now_andthen_]

ngl when lisa killed herself i cried 😂

[@The_Strawberry_Fairy]

My bff and I got the lucky to see it in theatres on valentines day and we both LOVE IT SM!!! This movie had him and I GAGGED and laughing sm! glad y'all enjoyed it aswell!! NGL It was everything I wanted in a movie like this!!! askjfakfjsjfbjkfdskuja🩷🩷🩷
