Netflix's Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story debuted as the streamer's No. 1 series with 12.1 million views in its first four days, matching previous seasons' performance.

Historical experts and critics note significant inaccuracies, such as the presumption of Lizzie Borden's guilt despite her acquittal, and anachronistic depictions of the 1892 crime scene. The series is praised for its visual spectacle and Sarah Paulson's performance as Aileen Wuornos, but criticized for its sensationalized tone and disregard for historical nuance.

Saab 93 Monster: The Twin-Engine Beast That Pushed Boundaries

Saab 93 Monster: The Twin-Engine Beast That Pushed Boundaries

In the 1950s Saab engineers created the Saab 93 "Monstret" by mounting two 748cc three‑cylinder two‑stroke engines in the front, effectively forming a 1.5‑liter twin‑engine powerplant that produced about 140 hp for rally testing. The result was a terrifying, understeer-prone beast with brutal torque, clocking around 122 mph in testing but never intended for production. The project taught Saab important lessons about chassis limits and helped steer the brand toward later turbocharged designs, with the Monster now housed in the Saab Car Museum.

The film emphasizes themes of parenting and rejection but ultimately strips the Creature of moral complexity, contrasting with Shelley's nuanced portrayal.
