This time Isla & Spencer pit monster against monster, with Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein going up against Luc Besson’s Dracula, both from 2025. Let’s be honest, we already know who the favourite is this time around.

Isla & Spencer sit down to discuss Iain Softly’s Hackers from 1995 and Joseph Ruben’s Dreamscape from 1984. Let’s see how these once-admired movies hold up to jaded adult scrutiny.
