Streaming Standard: Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein

 Oh boy, this is an odd one.

What you have here is a Short Form Mockumentary that is a bit of Forgotten Silver (ironically, it too is forgotten by most) with a bit of Spinal Tap and I'm Still Here.

It is also a Parody (in general) of Broadway Plays and some Actors' quirks.

It also has a great, dumb Title.  This is...

David Harbour appears as himself, but also as his own Father.

In this case, his 'Father' was a super-serious Actor who was mysterious to David and he seeks to know more about him.

To do so, he recreates his Office and looks at the titular Play he ran on TV (apparently live) in the '70s.

Said Play is shown in small segment and is just plain bizarre!

Basically, Dr. Frankenstein has his Assistant pretend to be him and he pretends to be the Monster.
The reason: he needs to convince the Spokesperson for a University to grant him more money for his work.

It's kind of stupidly-brilliant.

The truth about David Harbour's Dad will come out and it won't be pretty.

P is for Parody.

What will happen in the Play?  How will Harbour process all of this?

To find out, stream the Special.

A weird, sort of random thing.  To some people, this is just too weird and bizarre.  To some people, it is the perfect blend of insanity and seriousness.  The premise is a good one.  The premise is, yes, a weird one.  Harbour plays it straight and it really works.  He seems sincere when he needs to.  He seems crazy when he needs to.  You have to understand and accept certain things for this to work.  The Play is intentionally bad.  The Play is pretentious and the Actors are over-the-top.  If you don't get that/like that, you'll wonder why they are so bad/silly/ridiculous.  Bad Acting on purpose is a bit like Bad Singing on purpose- you either like it or hate it.  Outside of that stuff, the main Plot is serious, but with plenty of odd moments.  Hey look- it is Mrs. Bland!  The whole thing is just plain weird.  Me- I like it quite a bit.  If you don't, well, that's fine too.  Either way, we're still waiting for our shots, so why not enjoy it with the people you're stuck with at home anyways?

A trippy, faux self-serious Special.  You'll either love it or hate it.
