I don't think this will be a recurring segment on the channel. But I thought it would be fun to do given how short this film is. We watch The Ravishing of Frank N. Stein and I live-react, explaining what's happening and why.

Look, this is pure coincidence, I think, but Kanye has accidentally cosplayed as all the villains from Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. From Scarecrow to Bane to Joker. With the caveat being it's the Joaquin Phoenix Joker rather than Ledger.
