- 3:17Speaker 1: it right immediately immediately immediately but it's higher dude i
- 3:23Speaker 1: noticed that the voice was higher and we were just
- 3:27Speaker 1: imitating the lower and lower registers of.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Chucky it's like when you when michael jackson does the
- 3:33Speaker 2: low voice reveal.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Dude believe it or not um i'm afraid to watch

- 3:41Speaker 1: very much oh yeah totally he's he's definitely he's definitely
- 3:46Speaker 1: revealing something he's low voice maxing and and chuck norris
- 3:51Speaker 1: i mean mike norris uh the cop running down the
- 3:54Speaker 1: hallway trying to get slobbery slobbery uh mark ruffalo.
- 4:01Speaker 3: This little boy nicholas uh sat across the table from
- 4:04Speaker 3: her and i was coloring with her and doing the
- 4:07Speaker 3: things you do with a preschool child.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 4:10Speaker 3: And he looked up at me and he said, are
- 4:14Speaker 3: you the Hulk?
- 4:17Speaker 1: Wearing that sweater, like wearing just cool sweaters throughout because
- 4:22Speaker 1: he's a detective, not a police officer.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. He's got to have some drip. Charles Lee Ray.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Wearing that iconic like long coat.
- 4:31Speaker 2: The Trenchcoat Mafia Charles Lee Ray. Dude, I fucking immediately,
- 4:37Speaker 2: there's so much lore with the way they display Eddie
- 4:40Speaker 2: Caputo and Charles Lee Ray. Today only, free readings by
- 4:44Speaker 2: Teresa Caputo.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Eddie Caputo, Charles Lee Ray, and Mike Norris all having
- 4:50Speaker 1: this like weird history together that you've never seen.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Totally implied history.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Implied history. And he's like, finally got him. It's the
- 4:59Speaker 1: end of that movie into this movie.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Totally, dude.
- 5:03Speaker 1: It feels like the climax of that movie where he's
- 5:08Speaker 1: hunting down Charles Lee Ray.
- 5:09Speaker 2: If ever we deserved.
- 5:12Speaker 1: A prequel movie, it's to see the rituals, the paintings
- 5:17Speaker 1: that obviously Charles Lee Ray is doing of the portraits
- 5:22Speaker 1: of himself with John the fucking.
- 5:25Speaker 2: A voodoo guy. Oh my god, with King Willie, dude. Yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 2: this movie has its own King Willie.
- 5:31Speaker 1: And then going into Chris Sarandon's performances. Incredible.
- 5:36Speaker 2: That's the cop. He's amazing. He's amazing.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo as this guy would have been fucking... He
- 5:43Speaker 1: did so much like... Oh, Mark Ruffalo would totally be...
- 5:45Speaker 1: But like Mark Ruffalo from like three years ago would
- 5:48Speaker 1: have been this guy. Would have been this guy. Really well, too. Totally.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Because he sells... The emotion... Everybody sells the emotional stakes
- 5:56Speaker 1: of how fucking stupid this movie is.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Like, it's so dumb. Yeah.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But, like, dumb is, like, as in, like, it's very gimmick.
- 6:06Speaker 1: It's very gimmick, and it transcends the gimmick every single time.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Exactly. It has to kind of earn your good faith.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I mean, I think it earns the good faith immediately.
- 6:17Speaker 1: It doesn't... It's just, like, the, like, the fact that
- 6:20Speaker 1: you're feeling the like we said, the ending of another
- 6:24Speaker 1: movie at the beginning of this movie.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I love the reveal of the text Child's Play.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Over the Chucky dolls.
- 6:34Speaker 2: The good guys dolls, please.
- 6:35Speaker 1: The good guy dolls, yeah.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Because they all have their own names. Totally, totally.
- 6:39Speaker 1: And the fact that every part of exposition in the
- 6:44Speaker 1: movie is really like fuels the movie in a way that's, like,
- 6:49Speaker 1: not corny. Because, like, Charles Lee Ray getting shot and
- 6:52Speaker 1: then being like, I gotta find something.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Somebody.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Somebody, yeah. Because he knows he needs a body to
- 6:58Speaker 1: go into. Yeah, because he gives you hints of what
- 7:01Speaker 1: it is. Totally. And you're just like, oh, what does
- 7:04Speaker 1: he mean? What's going on, right?
- 7:05Speaker 2: I loved it. The slow reveals. And then, okay, is
- 7:10Speaker 2: this one Haki Dui Dembela or is it Hade Dui Dembela?
- 7:13Speaker 1: It's Hade. It's Hade.
- 7:14Speaker 2: It's Hade Dui Dembela.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Also, it feels a little bit like he's just making
- 7:19Speaker 1: it up. It feels like he's just improvising the entire thing.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I mean.
- 7:25Speaker 2: It's kind of, I think it's like supposed to be
- 7:27Speaker 2: like patois based.
- 7:28Speaker 1: It's definitely supposed to be some sort of patois.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Hockey dewey dembella.
- 7:39Speaker 6: Give me the power his voice is so good it's
- 7:42Speaker 6: so good it's so good it's so powerful it is
- 7:46Speaker 6: it's and it's like it's kind of like weirdly commanding
- 7:49Speaker 6: so that like the contrast between the doll voice and
- 7:52Speaker 6: then the body.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Yeah totally totally um the fact that uh He's got
- 7:59Speaker 1: a very Vince Gallo energy to it, too.
- 8:02Speaker 2: I'm kind of panicked.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of panicked.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Where are they?
- 8:07Speaker 7: Claiming I'm overreacting like the black kids that shot Rackman.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Are they in Chicago? They're in Chicago, dude.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Which is gorgeous. I was going to say, like.
- 8:15Speaker 1: It's a character in the movie, dude.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Being from a city by the lake, like Toronto, it's
- 8:22Speaker 2: nice to see these kinds of cities, a city by
- 8:24Speaker 2: the lake, be portrayed in, you know, and not one
- 8:27Speaker 2: of the coastals, you know? Yeah, totally.
- 8:30Speaker 1: And the fact that, like, you know, it's like, give
- 8:32Speaker 1: it up, Ray. It's over. You know, him being, like,
- 8:36Speaker 1: the cop being sort of this guy who knows this
- 8:40Speaker 1: guy's history and revealing his own personal history with him
- 8:46Speaker 1: is really nice. And then, like, it's a perfect opening
- 8:50Speaker 1: of all the stuff that you need to, like, send
- 8:55Speaker 1: you into this world. And then it pulls the stakes back.
- 8:58Speaker 1: so far back into this really, really nice loving. Yeah.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Giant apartment that a single mom on a salary from
- 9:10Speaker 2: working at the corner store could not corner store, but
- 9:14Speaker 2: like a department store. But this was like nineties when
- 9:17Speaker 2: like department store was like, there was like a status
- 9:19Speaker 2: to it.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I, yeah. The, the feeling of, of panic too, that, that,
- 9:26Speaker 1: Only Brad Dourif can really sell is like so palpable
- 9:32Speaker 1: in the movie. The like look on his face when
- 9:34Speaker 1: he gently like is the it's the like graying out
- 9:39Speaker 1: portion before you die of like falling over on the
- 9:43Speaker 1: dolls and like seeing the doll and being like, yes,
- 9:47Speaker 1: this is like my final thing.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Right?
- 9:50Speaker 1: And then all like, Hade, Dewey, Dembella, give me the
- 9:54Speaker 1: power I beg of you!
- 9:57Speaker 2: Setelizamitano, sakuzete! Is it problematic? Probably, dude. You know what?
- 10:19Speaker 2: But it's, like, sold by the movie.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Let me... I was, like, getting into it and, like,
- 10:26Speaker 1: remembering the past, but also being like, oh, man.
- 10:30Speaker 2: This is... This feels.
- 10:32Speaker 1: But then when it gets to John... Oh, dude, I
- 10:35Speaker 1: can't wait to talk about that. We gotta talk about John.
- 10:41Speaker 2: John! Listen.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We get to Alex Vincent, who plays Andy.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Before we start, as soon as
- 10:55Speaker 2: I saw this child, dude, like... No sentience at all.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Oh, dude. Like, how did he do this?
- 11:03Speaker 7: The performance is, like, amazing. I saw so much of
- 11:08Speaker 7: myself in this where when he comes down and he's
- 11:12Speaker 7: making that disgusting fucking breakfast, which I would totally have, like,
- 11:18Speaker 7: thought about doing in this way.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Dude, can I tell you a thirsty for more?
- 11:22Speaker 1: Yeah. thirsty for more one.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Time i tried to make a special juice for and
- 11:28Speaker 2: i did this andy concoction dude i fucking combined like
- 11:38Speaker 2: six different juices with also like milk and other things
- 11:42Speaker 2: too because i was like oh he's gonna want some
- 11:45Speaker 2: He's going to want some of this, too. And let
- 11:47Speaker 2: me tell you, when, you know, in this movie, the
- 11:50Speaker 2: mom reacts. Karen reacts in, like, hmm, I'm going to
- 11:56Speaker 2: eat this later on. It's just fucking disgusting. Is that
- 11:58Speaker 2: what he said? Yeah, while mama was, like, mossing the otters.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Which means you could poison him. But he was just trying.
- 12:20Speaker 1: But it's like, the lack of sentience.
- 12:25Speaker 2: In this child actor.
- 12:26Speaker 1: But then stuff like, I saw this one. Oh my god, dude.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I saw this one. I saw this one.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I'll never forget.
- 12:40Speaker 1: The lack of sentience is incredible because of the fact
- 12:44Speaker 1: that like, you're like, fuck dude. Like you are like,
- 12:50Speaker 1: he's playing it so perfectly because he's just playing himself, man.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Like the way that like this performance made me kind
- 12:59Speaker 2: of sad, dude, the entire time. Like I was, I just,
- 13:02Speaker 2: I just felt bad for him. Like I was like,
- 13:05Speaker 2: no someone take this child home like the entire time
- 13:10Speaker 2: i was thinking like and like the thing is like
- 13:13Speaker 2: you can tell that they shot a lot of the
- 13:16Speaker 2: scary stuff around him but definitely there's times in it
- 13:20Speaker 2: where he's like asked to do yeah really too much
- 13:25Speaker 2: too much like the crying scene later on dude like
- 13:28Speaker 2: i was like what Are we seeing like a traumatic episode?
- 13:33Speaker 2: Like it felt like we were.
- 13:35Speaker 1: It kind of does. Yeah. Him like making, burning, making
- 13:40Speaker 1: the toast.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Putting cereal in the already sugary cereal because it's like,
- 13:50Speaker 5: like what's it perfectly portrays the kind of childlike mind
- 13:55Speaker 5: of like, I like this.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Yeah and this is how i.
- 13:58Speaker 1: See my mom make this but not understanding how much
- 14:03Speaker 1: diabetes you would get from slathering butter taking the butter
- 14:09Speaker 1: and putting it on one of the burnt toasts and
- 14:13Speaker 1: like it's like a fist size of butter and then
- 14:17Speaker 1: and then seeing on completely burnt toast yeah and then
- 14:23Speaker 1: seeing the good guy show that is very much but
- 14:27Speaker 1: like seeing the giant good guy the the super mario
- 14:31Speaker 1: brothers tv show version of a guy with the giant
- 14:37Speaker 1: head doing coke.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Underneath and he's like hey kids you want a good
- 14:43Speaker 2: guy talk.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I saw this one yeah you want a good guy
- 14:47Speaker 1: doll uh and then and then the chucky doll turning
- 14:49Speaker 1: and being like hi i'm friends till the end um.
- 14:57Speaker 2: It sounds like chucky every chucky doll sounds like they're
- 15:01Speaker 2: they work in finance now it's like finance bro chucky
- 15:06Speaker 2: i uh thought that all of this was really good
- 15:10Speaker 2: in the in the early 80s i believe or late
- 15:12Speaker 2: 70s they lifted a moratorium on how kids could be
- 15:17Speaker 2: marketed to. And I think that's part of what this
- 15:21Speaker 2: movie is about initially, maybe like the loose loosening of
- 15:25Speaker 2: restrictions on like how children are marketed to.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Sure.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Cause like in the end, ultimately like a lot of
- 15:34Speaker 1: the movie seems to be about like, it feels a
- 15:38Speaker 1: lot like kids relationships, uh, with, their parents and their
- 15:45Speaker 1: their kind of attitudes towards things like toys how toyetic
- 15:50Speaker 1: can you get being like oh this is like is
- 15:54Speaker 1: this imagination is this something to be worried about their relationship.
- 16:01Speaker 2: It's so nice well and you can tell that like
- 16:04Speaker 2: the the no dad is just kind of implied like
- 16:08Speaker 2: He's mentioned once as, like, his dead dad sent Chucky
- 16:11Speaker 2: down from heaven to be his friend.
- 16:13Speaker 1: I know, I know.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Which is, like, adds, like, an element to this movie
- 16:16Speaker 2: that's so much sadder.
- 16:18Speaker 1: It's very sad.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Like, who has a dead dad?
- 16:20Speaker 1: And doesn't have, like, clearly doesn't have a lot of money.
- 16:23Speaker 1: When he looks at the good guy doll show, and
- 16:28Speaker 1: he's carrying the burnt toast.
- 16:30Speaker 2: And then he sees... That he sees the big box.
- 16:34Speaker 2: And makes... like the most heartbreaking smile that you've ever
- 16:38Speaker 2: seen where you're like, Oh no. Yeah. Yeah. And then
- 16:43Speaker 2: this is such a kid's movie.
- 16:45Speaker 1: It's such a kid's movie. It's such a kid's movie.
- 16:47Speaker 1: It's like, it's better than gremlins. It's better than all
- 16:50Speaker 1: the kids movies that.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Are stakes because Chucky's like, you're not fucking bitch.
- 16:55Speaker 1: You stupid bitch.
- 16:57Speaker 2: You filthy slut.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Did you fuck with me? Not gremlins.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Not gremlins.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I was talking about, uh, what's it called? uh what
- 17:06Speaker 1: does this richard donner one fuck with the kids in
- 17:09Speaker 1: the cave and sloth oh goonie goonies yeah it's like
- 17:13Speaker 1: goonies it's in that category of movie and then we're
- 17:17Speaker 1: introduced to the the genius level of acting that katherine
- 17:22Speaker 1: hicks does dude you couldn't do this movie without her
- 17:25Speaker 1: performance like everyone's performance is fucking amazing it's all amazing but.
- 17:31Speaker 2: There's so much this acting i I'm making a face.
- 17:35Speaker 1: You didn't describe the face. I'm making a face.
- 17:38Speaker 2: You should describe it.
- 17:39Speaker 1: It's like a level of, well, it's slightly open mouth,
- 17:43Speaker 1: slightly open eyes with concern, watery eyes at the bottom.
- 17:48Speaker 1: And am I doing a good job?
- 17:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Well, it's getting weirder and weirder because you're listening to
- 17:55Speaker 1: the description and then altering it to get to what
- 18:00Speaker 1: I'm describing, but you were already doing it well. But her, yeah,
- 18:03Speaker 1: her almost crying eyes in the entire movie is incredible.
- 18:08Speaker 1: She looks so stressed and worried and happy to see
- 18:13Speaker 1: her son all the time.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Dude, that reminds me of that clip that, I don't
- 18:19Speaker 2: know if Kaze maybe sent it to us recently, of
- 18:22Speaker 2: the guy from Mulholland Drive who's like, I learned how
- 18:25Speaker 2: to act on the set of Mulholland Drive when David
- 18:28Speaker 2: Lynch told me. Just... Do less, okay? And he's like,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I realize you just need to do less. The camera
- 18:36Speaker 2: picks up everything.
- 18:37Speaker 8: And David, who is one of the loveliest people who's
- 18:40Speaker 8: ever lived, came and sat next to me and was
- 18:42Speaker 8: just like, wow, that was really good, Patrick.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Really good.
- 18:46Speaker 8: And I'm like, thank you. And he said, so, you know,
- 18:48Speaker 8: let me just talk to you. You're just having a dream.
- 18:51Speaker 8: You had a bad dream, right? You've had bad dreams.
- 18:53Speaker 8: And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he goes, and
- 18:56Speaker 8: it's just... He didn't want to say the word simple,
- 18:59Speaker 8: but I could tell what he was telling me was
- 19:01Speaker 8: do a little bit less.
- 19:03Speaker 2: It's true.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.
- 19:04Speaker 2: I need to stop doing.
- 19:06Speaker 1: You need to stop doing. That was just melting.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Man, Catherine Hicks is so good at this movie as Karen, Karen.
- 19:20Speaker 2: And man. is she ever a karen she's a bit
- 19:25Speaker 2: of a karen um but only in like a generic

- 20:37Speaker 2: gorgeous and in downtown chicago um but yeah it's probably
- 20:42Speaker 2: because it's the late 80s son.
- 20:44Speaker 1: But also what's interesting about the what the remake would
- 20:47Speaker 1: do is that what a remake not necessarily the remake
- 20:53Speaker 1: but what a remake would do is kind of do
- 20:56Speaker 1: this stupid thing where instead of living in a nice
- 21:01Speaker 1: quote-unquote place it's like living in the other place that
- 21:04Speaker 1: chicago portrays with the homeless dudes.
- 21:07Speaker 2: South side let it bang.
- 21:09Speaker 6: South side let it bang outside let it rain rain
- 21:13Speaker 6: down on the pain rain down on the.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Slain exactly i think that i think that chucky knows
- 21:19Speaker 2: canonically knows kanye west chucky chucky charles he was a
- 21:24Speaker 2: kid donda.
- 21:26Speaker 6: Yes he totally used his dad dude south side let
- 21:30Speaker 6: it bang.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Yeah like she she.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Both didn't know and also tells him he has to
- 21:37Speaker 2: she has to save up for it which.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Is like Oh, man. It was, like, sad. It was
- 21:49Speaker 1: sad in the way that Jingle All The Way wanted
- 21:52Speaker 1: to be sad.
- 21:53Speaker 2: They're all gone! She's like, they're all here! I've got
- 21:58Speaker 2: no money! Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- 22:01Speaker 1: You're my favorite customer.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Dude, AI slum, Schwartzy. Did you see that dead jury thing?
- 22:10Speaker 1: Can we not talk about dead jury, Schwartzy? Old lady, Schwartzy?
- 22:14Speaker 1: Little boy, Schwartzy? And talk about how awesome this movie is.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Crispy curls, super Schwartzy.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Listen, just the, I know I'm hyping this up so much,
- 22:26Speaker 1: but the fact that everything is so perfectly written in
- 22:31Speaker 1: the movie. Because Maggie comes, we cut to the store
- 22:35Speaker 1: that she works at. Maggie comes in. And we're just like,
- 22:39Speaker 1: she's just like, I know this homeless guy who has
- 22:42Speaker 1: a good guy doll. Don't worry. He's not going to
- 22:46Speaker 1: try and rape you after. Come out.
- 22:49Speaker 2: And I'm not going to get murdered because of this
- 22:51Speaker 2: doll that I'm.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Helping you get. But she's such a good friend. And
- 22:56Speaker 1: it's like you feel the friendship immediately. And the dynamic
- 22:59Speaker 1: of the kind of friendship it is.
- 23:01Speaker 2: You know what it reminded me of?
- 23:02Speaker 1: Tell me.
- 23:03Speaker 2: It reminded me of. the slightly older versions of um
- 23:08Speaker 2: the friendship in uh 1984's terminator.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Dude oh yeah totally totally yes because she's like the
- 23:18Speaker 1: the kind of like you know like i i'm like
- 23:22Speaker 1: measured i like to have fun but i'm measured and
- 23:25Speaker 1: i want to go out or whatever but like i
- 23:26Speaker 1: got a kid yeah yeah and like this one's like
- 23:30Speaker 1: i think i dated that homeless guy.
- 23:33Speaker 2: They definitely make her seem like Usa de la Coca.
- 23:36Speaker 1: What's wrong, McFly?
- 23:37Speaker 2: Chicken? They make her seem like she's like a spinster.
- 23:44Speaker 2: She's like, I'm single. I'm so single, guys. Look at
- 23:49Speaker 2: the crisis of the late 80s. I'm single.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she.
- 23:53Speaker 2: I mean, it's because of the male loneliness over there.
- 23:57Speaker 1: But she's also like, she's so excited to get get
- 24:02Speaker 1: her friend make her friend happy which is really awesome
- 24:07Speaker 1: and beautiful like there's a night like the bond isn't
- 24:10Speaker 1: just oh let's just throw this in like i don't
- 24:13Speaker 1: know like she says that it's like very thought out
- 24:16Speaker 1: like the movie itself feels so thought out yeah to
- 24:21Speaker 1: portray the dynamic between the kid, the dynamic between Catherine
- 24:26Speaker 1: Hicks and Maggie, the dynamic between setting up the dynamics
- 24:30Speaker 1: between Charles Lee Ray and Mike Norris. There's history built
- 24:36Speaker 1: into each of the characters somehow done in an hour
- 24:40Speaker 1: and 27 minutes.
- 24:41Speaker 2: I mean, it's just really economic storytelling. They show a lot.
- 24:45Speaker 1: They show a lot, right? And the homeless guy that
- 24:48Speaker 1: comes back later... 50 bucks 50 bucks.
- 24:53Speaker 2: No 30 10 10 oh 30 and then she's like
- 24:56Speaker 2: this thing's not worth it we don't even know if
- 24:57Speaker 2: it fucking.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Works i gathered eggs like i'll take it the the
- 25:01Speaker 1: panic of like oh my god yeah and then.
- 25:04Speaker 2: You don't know she's hit the jackpot and but you.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Don't you also still don't know if she's hit the
- 25:09Speaker 1: jackpot you're like something's off well it's.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Be careful what you wish for exactly be careful what
- 25:14Speaker 2: you wish for which also like gave it a very
- 25:16Speaker 2: like you know of this era, Tales from the Crypt
- 25:19Speaker 2: kind of vibe.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Totally. And then the boss, like, looking around, this snooty douchebag.
- 25:23Speaker 2: The boss, played by, played by the, like, he was
- 25:28Speaker 2: in another Chicago movie, Home Alone. Of course. He's the
- 25:31Speaker 2: fucking shelter guy who's like, I've been from Paris to
- 25:34Speaker 2: Dallas to, where the hell am I? Scream.
- 25:37Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a hold of my son.
- 25:40Speaker 2: And now that I'm this close, you're telling me it's hopeless.
- 25:42Speaker 1: No. No, no, no, no. Why?
- 25:45Speaker 2: R.I.P.
- 25:45Speaker 8: Dude.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Totally, totally.
- 25:47Speaker 1: And then, you know, like, she's like, look, let her go.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Because the boss is going to ask.
- 25:57Speaker 2: He's like, hey, I need you to work.
- 26:00Speaker 1: You should be working.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Hey, listen. Oh, yeah. nice to see you're back from
- 26:07Speaker 2: your break. Yeah. And he's just like immediately so like
- 26:11Speaker 2: not understanding and passive aggressive and also wants to ask
- 26:15Speaker 2: her to work an extra shift tonight because somebody can't
- 26:17Speaker 2: be there and she just has to. And she's like,
- 26:19Speaker 2: It's my son's birthday. I'm trying to get home to
- 26:21Speaker 2: my son. It's always women trying to get home to
- 26:24Speaker 2: her son.
- 26:24Speaker 1: It's true.
- 26:25Speaker 2: From this guy.
- 26:25Speaker 1: That's the 80s.
- 26:26Speaker 2: But from this guy specifically. Yeah. He's holding both of
- 26:30Speaker 2: them back, dude.
- 26:30Speaker 1: And then Maggie is like, well, you know, I can
- 26:33Speaker 1: take care of him. And she's like, no, no, come on.
- 26:36Speaker 1: And it's like, she's like, well, it'll be the hottest
- 26:38Speaker 1: date I've had in months. Which is like, again, it's like.
- 26:41Speaker 2: She's like, I'm a spinster. I'm Jose de la Coca.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Yeah. But, like, also... Can you explain what that means
- 26:49Speaker 1: to people?
- 26:50Speaker 2: It just means, like... It just means, like... It's, like,
- 26:55Speaker 2: the word for spinster in Serbian. It just means, like...
- 26:58Speaker 2: But it, like, refers to chicken. Like a hen. Like
- 27:01Speaker 2: an overgrown hen or something. I don't know. Yeah.
- 27:07Speaker 1: But then, like... In terms of the economy of storytelling,
- 27:11Speaker 1: the value of... showing that she can't afford it constantly
- 27:18Speaker 1: and then her life on top of that being this
- 27:20Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a mess because it's
- 27:24Speaker 1: like you're dealing with these kinds of people this asshole
- 27:28Speaker 1: this fucking homeless guy you know what i mean it's
- 27:30Speaker 1: like that kind.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Of there's a sense of like men kind of constantly
- 27:35Speaker 2: sort of being like looming presences around her.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Yeah totally totally yeah And then she comes home and
- 27:46Speaker 1: Andy's drip is actually amazing in the entire movie.
- 27:49Speaker 2: He's been wearing, he just wears a good guy's outfit constantly.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Which is kind of cool because I think they're trying
- 27:54Speaker 2: to like make a confusion purposely between Chucky and Andy.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Of course. And also we watched it. I watched it
- 28:00Speaker 2: with Anna dude. And, um, she kept commenting on how, um,
- 28:10Speaker 2: like big the chucky doll is but i was like
- 28:13Speaker 2: they had to do that to make it somewhat believable
- 28:16Speaker 2: when there's like a human powering but like when there's
- 28:19Speaker 2: like clearly a human person.
- 28:21Speaker 1: In there in there yeah totally but dude like when
- 28:24Speaker 1: she comes home and she gives the doll to andy
- 28:27Speaker 1: and andy fucking brightens up so much and then brings
- 28:32Speaker 1: the like takes out the doll and is like and
- 28:34Speaker 1: she's so excited because he's excited and then she's like
- 28:37Speaker 1: but also show you how it works because it's kind of.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Cool um and she's like hi i'm andy what's your
- 28:44Speaker 2: name i'm chucky what a hidey hell and it's amazing
- 28:50Speaker 2: okay so here's my question dude the mechanics of chucky
- 28:54Speaker 2: magic does chucky know the prompts, the vocal prompts from
- 29:02Speaker 2: like being soul imbued. I think so.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I think, I think the way it works is, he's
- 29:14Speaker 1: probably you know what he's probably seen the commercials too
- 29:16Speaker 1: is the thing because it's like a super popular doll right.
- 29:19Speaker 2: But he's also doing the voice he's not he's your
- 29:23Speaker 2: bitch you know what he's no i think the doll
- 29:27Speaker 2: is doing the voice oh.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Yeah because there's no batteries like he's doing the voice
- 29:31Speaker 1: yeah he's just doing he's just doing the high pitched.
- 29:35Speaker 2: And when does he choose okay another chucky mechanics thing
- 29:39Speaker 2: when does he choose to be?
- 29:40Speaker 1: Oh, and, so my brother just did the chucky face
- 29:48Speaker 1: of the just the original good guy doll and then
- 29:51Speaker 1: i did the ugly chucky dude zali see balding chucky
- 29:56Speaker 1: dude i love the more the more he turns into
- 30:00Speaker 1: charles lee right the higher the the hairline gets he
- 30:03Speaker 1: gets the more jack nicholson it gets.
- 30:08Speaker 2: He gets more like a male pattern but he's got
- 30:11Speaker 2: to get on that fin dude he's got it like
- 30:13Speaker 2: he could recover it it just recently fell out you
- 30:16Speaker 2: know like um and.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Then it cuts to she she's like so excited to
- 30:22Speaker 1: give the doll and then she leaves to go to
- 30:25Speaker 1: to her her second shift and like andy is listening
- 30:29Speaker 1: to the news comes back oh dude the news being
- 30:32Speaker 1: like um The news being like, and Eddie Caputo still
- 30:38Speaker 1: on the run.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Do you think he's related to Tracy Caputo, Long Island medium?
- 30:43Speaker 2: A hundred percent, dude.
- 30:44Speaker 1: A hundred percent.
- 30:45Speaker 2: I'm Teresa Caputo.
- 30:47Speaker 1: I like to think of myself as a typical Long
- 30:49Speaker 1: Island mom.
- 30:49Speaker 2: I told Betty if he moved to Chicago.
- 30:52Speaker 1: But then, but then we get the doll turning his head.
- 30:57Speaker 1: like seemingly at random towards the tv and we get
- 31:01Speaker 1: a split dioptera where maggie's in the foreground and he's
- 31:04Speaker 1: in the background famously hated by k's split dioptera i mean.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It was it's perfect it works so well i thought
- 31:10Speaker 2: this movie there's a lot of moments where it references
- 31:15Speaker 2: classic horror film tropes in a way that i think
- 31:20Speaker 2: is like very like wants to like pay homage in
- 31:23Speaker 2: a like in a nice respectful way totally like there's
- 31:27Speaker 2: a lot of like um slasher references there's a lot
- 31:30Speaker 2: of like here's johnny references you know like uh through
- 31:34Speaker 2: the stabbing through the door and things like that and like.
- 31:37Speaker 1: And just like it's very visually compelling because that part
- 31:41Speaker 1: where the split dioptera happens and then it's like really
- 31:46Speaker 1: unnerving that like oh he's he he like listens to
- 31:50Speaker 1: the doll talk to him in the background and then
- 31:53Speaker 1: uh maggie sort of in the foreground is like smiles
- 31:56Speaker 1: and she's like oh that's weird and then like she's
- 31:59Speaker 1: like okay we're going to bed and she picks andy
- 32:02Speaker 1: up and then andy is like but what about chucky
- 32:05Speaker 1: and then she like violently grabs chucky and like is
- 32:09Speaker 1: like kind of aggressive in a way that's just like
- 32:11Speaker 1: it's a fucking stupid doll I mean.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Her friend just bought this $ 100 doll, and she's ripping
- 32:17Speaker 2: this all out.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And this $ 100, 000 80s money unit in this building.
- 32:25Speaker 2: With the, like, receding hairline of Jackie. Not yet, dude.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Not yet.
- 32:32Speaker 1: And then, like, you know, she's picking at the birthday
- 32:35Speaker 1: cake that they were obviously eating. Again, this is a very, like,
- 32:39Speaker 1: succinct scene. And well told.
- 32:41Speaker 2: This is the first 15 minutes of the movie, dude.
- 32:43Speaker 2: And it just, like, flies. Like, I remember as a kid, like,
- 32:47Speaker 2: this being deep into the movie. Yeah, totally.
- 32:50Speaker 1: And then, but, like, also showing the, how good a
- 32:54Speaker 1: kid he is. In contrast to how they believe him later.
- 32:59Speaker 2: On in the movie.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Because he's brushing his teeth. She's like, are you brushing
- 33:02Speaker 1: your teeth? And he's like, yes, Aunt Maggie.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Well, did you say that he told Aunt Maggie that
- 33:07Speaker 2: Chucky wants to watch the news?
- 33:09Speaker 1: Chucky wants to watch the news. That's what makes her
- 33:12Speaker 1: smile in the first place. Because she's like, oh, he's
- 33:15Speaker 1: trying to stay up later to play with the toy. Yeah.
- 33:17Speaker 1: And then, like, the TV turns off. Like, she turns
- 33:21Speaker 1: it off. And then she's, like, in the kitchen while
- 33:24Speaker 1: he's brushing his teeth. And then the TV turns on
- 33:27Speaker 1: by itself.
- 33:28Speaker 2: And it's scary.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Like, that's a scary moment.
- 33:31Speaker 2: By itself?
- 33:32Speaker 1: Of course.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Chucky.
- 33:34Speaker 1: But Maggie's reaction, who, as a kid, Maggie and Catherine
- 33:38Speaker 1: Hicks were old ladies. But as a near 40-year-old man,
- 33:42Speaker 1: they're hot young women.
- 33:43Speaker 2: They're, like, so young.
- 33:45Speaker 1: They're so young, yeah.
- 33:46Speaker 2: It's crazy to be older than them. Yeah.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Well, Catherine Hicks is older, but, like, Maggie just seems
- 33:52Speaker 1: like a... You know, she looks like my age, like 30-something,
- 33:55Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. um and then picking up
- 33:58Speaker 1: the doll again and and like like kind of throwing
- 34:03Speaker 1: it around in this aggressive way and her being kind
- 34:08Speaker 1: of like mean in a way that's like.
- 34:12Speaker 2: A little bit adult me i i noticed that i
- 34:16Speaker 2: was wondering if you were going to mention that because
- 34:18Speaker 2: she's it's interesting because i wanted to talk to you
- 34:22Speaker 2: about this like She's mad at him for defying her. Yes.
- 34:27Speaker 2: And tricking her. Yeah. And so she gets, she gets
- 34:30Speaker 2: mad at him and she, the unfairness is highlighted by
- 34:34Speaker 2: the fact that he really didn't do it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: He didn't do it. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, it
- 34:39Speaker 1: kind of makes sense in a very 80s auntie or
- 34:43Speaker 1: mom kind of way. And, and like him defending himself is,
- 34:50Speaker 1: And being like, but it was, you know, it's like,
- 34:54Speaker 1: and her being like, shh, like, okay, you gotta go
- 34:57Speaker 1: to bed now. Like, I need some adult time. I
- 35:01Speaker 1: need some wine. To like, I need to chill because
- 35:05Speaker 1: I don't have kids and I don't want them.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Well, and she was just reminded of like the guy
- 35:09Speaker 2: she used to date, right? Exactly. Who's now like a scary,
- 35:13Speaker 2: back alley, violent rapist. Who also, like, on the side sells,
- 35:21Speaker 2: you know, things he's found. Yeah.
- 35:23Speaker 1: But, like, the implication also on the news is that
- 35:26Speaker 1: Eddie Caputo escaped prison and is, like, on the run now, too.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Eddie Caputo, dude.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Eddie Caputo.
- 35:34Speaker 2: And Tracy's holding, dude.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Yeah. And then, like, the close-up of the doll. And then, like,
- 35:41Speaker 1: it cuts to, like, the apartment later. And she's, like,
- 35:45Speaker 1: watching a movie, chilling. Yeah. And we get like the
- 35:50Speaker 1: first sort of, you know, running across the room, you know,
- 35:56Speaker 1: hearing things or whatever.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Dude, I loved all of the like kind of running
- 36:02Speaker 2: from Chucky's perspective. I remember at the time, these kinds
- 36:06Speaker 2: of shots to me looked like nothing I'd ever seen before.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Yeah, really well done.
- 36:10Speaker 2: I feel like it's pretty commonplace now to do stuff
- 36:12Speaker 2: from like perspective.
- 36:13Speaker 3: POV, yeah.
- 36:15Speaker 2: But like it did really feel like you were like
- 36:19Speaker 2: Chucky height, you know? Yeah, totally.
- 36:21Speaker 1: And like her being like, you know, obviously thinking it's
- 36:24Speaker 1: Andy and like, you know, kind of being like, okay, whatever.
- 36:29Speaker 1: And then like, you know, he grabs the, the, the
- 36:34Speaker 1: moving the chair to like get to height and stuff
- 36:38Speaker 1: like that. And then like her hearing and cutting back
- 36:42Speaker 1: and forth to like, where are you? What are you doing? Like,
- 36:46Speaker 1: what are you sneaking out for? Uh, but also the suspicion.
- 36:49Speaker 2: I loved, I loved that. Like she was making really
- 36:52Speaker 2: good faith doing face.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Face.
- 36:54Speaker 1: A lot of face.
- 36:55Speaker 2: But like also a little bit concerned.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Yeah. Mad concerned.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Her reactions are amazing. Especially her reaction when she turns
- 37:02Speaker 2: around and sees Chucky. But we don't see her sea chucky. Exactly.
- 37:07Speaker 1: We only see her reaction. And then the fucking hammer
- 37:11Speaker 1: to the face.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Goes, like, into her forehead. Yeah.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Really, really... She falls out the window and just destroys
- 37:18Speaker 1: that car. It's just like.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Doesn't make sense with the angle that she's at. She
- 37:31Speaker 2: would have just fallen over.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:33Speaker 2: But, but there's something about it that seems like she's
- 37:36Speaker 2: like gust of winded out of like supernaturally super. Yeah.
- 37:41Speaker 1: The two things to mention is that. The flower is
- 37:44Speaker 1: knocked on the ground, which she notices and tries to
- 37:46Speaker 1: clean up.
- 37:47Speaker 2: And there's footprints. And there's footprints.
- 37:49Speaker 1: And also Karen calls her to like check in.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Oh, before, yes.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Which also- Karen! Karen! But also feels like, it's like
- 37:57Speaker 1: a moment of levity in the scene where it's like,
- 37:59Speaker 1: ha ha, like we're, ugh. you got me out of like.
- 38:02Speaker 2: There was like rising tension.
- 38:03Speaker 1: And then like breaking of that tension to do more
- 38:06Speaker 1: character work it's not just to like do a joke
- 38:09Speaker 1: or like whatever it's more to build more of the
- 38:12Speaker 1: character and the world because she's like oh like thank
- 38:15Speaker 1: you so much dude for like doing this like and
- 38:18Speaker 1: she's like yeah no worries like it's fine and it's
- 38:21Speaker 1: like you do get as a an audience member you
- 38:24Speaker 1: do get a little bit of a like oh man
- 38:26Speaker 1: okay cool And then she goes to clean up the
- 38:28Speaker 1: stuff and that little hammer gets picked up. And then
- 38:31Speaker 1: all of a sudden you get the, like, you know,
- 38:34Speaker 1: hit in the forehead, you know.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Which is crazy. And it's, it's sad to see our, um,
- 38:41Speaker 2: we'll say the La Coca go, you know, like.
- 38:43Speaker 1: What's wrong with my chicken.
- 38:50Speaker 2: She flies out the window. Um, and she, she falls in,
- 38:55Speaker 2: like gets demolished by a car. demolishes a car and.
- 39:01Speaker 1: And like immediately we cut to again the economy of
- 39:03Speaker 1: storytelling we cut to her uh karen coming back police
- 39:08Speaker 1: everywhere and she's like she her performance like honestly.
- 39:13Speaker 2: It was like so believable.
- 39:15Speaker 1: So amazing so amazing uh she's like running up this
- 39:19Speaker 1: beautiful stairwell uh where the run controlled It's incredible. And
- 39:25Speaker 1: this douchebag mustache cop who's like a gross pervert. Incredible performance.
- 39:30Speaker 1: performance incredible side cop the cops in the apartment one
- 39:34Speaker 1: of them reading a newspaper on the fucking couch like
- 39:38Speaker 1: doing nothing it was incredible it was incredible to show
- 39:41Speaker 1: it that way um and and the concern that mike
- 39:45Speaker 1: norris the only good guy to be in the the
- 39:48Speaker 1: movie as the he's kind of a douchebag like 80s
- 39:52Speaker 1: douchebag but he's like really concerned and really cares and
- 39:55Speaker 1: really wants to solve the case but it's also like there.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Was immediately that they're trying to like force in the
- 40:01Speaker 2: like surrogate dad energy.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Oh totally but i didn't think it was forced honestly
- 40:06Speaker 1: i thought it was cool like it's a little bit
- 40:08Speaker 1: like weird because it's a little bit flirty but he's
- 40:11Speaker 1: gonna be the dad now he's gonna be the dad
- 40:13Speaker 1: now um 80s logic but like she's like What the
- 40:19Speaker 1: fuck happened, dude? And he's, like, a little bit too casual.
- 40:23Speaker 1: There's a little bit too much of a casual nature,
- 40:25Speaker 1: but it's, like, it's good. It's good because it's, like...
- 40:28Speaker 1: You think so?
- 40:28Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I agree that it's good because
- 40:31Speaker 2: I think it's realistic, but there's a kind of, like,
- 40:33Speaker 2: a condescending... There is a condescending because he's trying to, like,
- 40:37Speaker 2: fish out, like, what do you think happened? Because I
- 40:40Speaker 2: think your fucking kid killed him. Because, like, the energy
- 40:43Speaker 2: feels a little bit like he's trying to throw her
- 40:46Speaker 2: off at first, but... And be like, you know, be
- 40:49Speaker 2: really nice to the kid. Being a real dad to
- 40:52Speaker 2: the kid. And she's immediately like... It's got a gun?
- 40:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, that's a cool print.
- 40:58Speaker 2: It's got a gun? What is that, a gun?
- 41:00Speaker 1: Well, like, I mean, when he sees the floor, they're
- 41:02Speaker 1: in the kitchen. And he's like, oh, they're like tiny footprints. Like,
- 41:06Speaker 1: I wonder what happened, you know? But he's still being nice.
- 41:10Speaker 1: And she's like, what are you implying? And he's like,
- 41:13Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know.
- 41:16Speaker 2: Okay, this is what I wanted to ask you. In
- 41:19Speaker 2: the scene.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I mean, what would Andy be doing on the kitchen table?
- 41:22Speaker 1: You know, like, it's just like... And she's like, no,
- 41:26Speaker 1: get the fuck out of my house. Sorry, go ahead.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Okay, okay. Well, I feel like if they had a
- 41:32Speaker 2: reason to believe that it was a homicide, I don't
- 41:35Speaker 2: know if they would leave that easily. You know what?
- 41:37Speaker 2: She just kicks them out?
- 41:38Speaker 1: I'm like, economy of stories. I really don't care. No,
- 41:41Speaker 1: I don't care either. Like, it's believable enough because it's insane. Like,
- 41:44Speaker 1: the cops reading a newspaper. Like, it's funny, too.
- 41:47Speaker 2: But it makes it seem like they've already been there
- 41:49Speaker 2: for a long time.
- 41:50Speaker 1: There for a long time. Yeah, exactly.
- 41:52Speaker 2: But nobody called her. Yeah.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's not cell phones. They're not like, you know. Yeah,
- 41:57Speaker 1: that's true.
- 41:57Speaker 2: I guess she's coming home. She might have been on
- 41:59Speaker 2: her way home.
- 41:59Speaker 1: On her way home, yeah. And it's like, and when
- 42:02Speaker 1: he comes down, he's like, hey, can I, what kind of,
- 42:05Speaker 1: shoes are those and it's like oh these are my
- 42:07Speaker 1: child's play pjs.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Or whatever um there's a gun there's.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Yeah there's a gun she's like all right that'll be
- 42:15Speaker 1: enough yeah yeah the all right that'll be enough is
- 42:18Speaker 1: is enough for me it sells me enough to be
- 42:21Speaker 1: like yeah this is a she is a mom she's
- 42:25Speaker 1: an 80s mom she can be like get out.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Of my house i mean yeah who else who but
- 42:32Speaker 2: her name is karen dude of course It's Karen meets
- 42:35Speaker 2: police officer. A classic combo. So it's really cool how
- 42:43Speaker 2: Andy comes back and is like, hey, I know who
- 42:48Speaker 2: did it. It was Chucky.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:50Speaker 2: And the moment that I wanted to talk to you about.
- 42:53Speaker 1: He said she was a stupid bitch. You got what
- 42:55Speaker 1: she deserved.
- 42:56Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. First he tells
- 42:58Speaker 2: the guy. First he tells it in front of the cop.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Yes. And then she gets like.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Sorry, go ahead. So, he says it's Chucky, and the cop,
- 43:07Speaker 2: do you think that he, like, for a second believes him?
- 43:10Speaker 1: Yes, I do think for a second he believes him.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Okay, because they show belief in his eyes, briefly.
- 43:17Speaker 1: It's like, it's weird because he interacted with the Chucky doll,
- 43:23Speaker 1: with Hadeadue Dambilla. So, it's like imprinted in him that, like,
- 43:28Speaker 1: because he didn't catch Charles Lee Ray and arrest him
- 43:30Speaker 1: and get justice... It's like.
- 43:33Speaker 2: There's a loose thread left.
- 43:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 43:35Speaker 2: That's nagging at him.
- 43:37Speaker 1: And then the pervert cop who's like, hey, you want
- 43:40Speaker 1: to fuck that broad? And he's like.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Man, waiting after and he's like, ha ha, I do.
- 43:44Speaker 1: And then he pulls out the hammer, like, and it's like, dude,
- 43:48Speaker 1: didn't you fucking dust this for... Shouldn't you have been
- 43:51Speaker 1: dusting this for Prince or whatever?
- 43:52Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't matter.
- 43:54Speaker 1: It really is like... Yeah, it really... Honestly, like, it
- 43:58Speaker 1: moves so fast that you're like... what is this? Um,
- 44:04Speaker 1: and then she hears him talk. She hears Andy talking
- 44:07Speaker 1: to Chucky and he, he says the line, she was
- 44:10Speaker 1: a stupid bitch who deserved it.
- 44:12Speaker 2: His name is Charles Lee Ray. Imagine your kid just
- 44:15Speaker 2: said the name of like an adult man.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's just like, like the, the like psyche breaking.
- 44:24Speaker 1: My aunt just died. Vibe. And her being, like, already
- 44:30Speaker 1: so scared, needing to be... Because she plays it so well.
- 44:34Speaker 1: She needs to be there for him in a way that's, like,
- 44:39Speaker 1: I can't traumatize him. He's already traumatized.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's like, hey, this is crazy. Stop doing this.
- 44:47Speaker 1: But now I'm seeing the trauma in real time happen
- 44:50Speaker 1: with this, like, Charles Lee Ray fucking dad from heaven shit, like.
- 44:55Speaker 2: The dad from heaven line is truly heartbreaking.
- 44:58Speaker 1: It's scary and heartbreaking. And like the, the chicken panic
- 45:02Speaker 1: that an adult, like a, like an adult would have.
- 45:05Speaker 6: Yes.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Oh my, like, oh, oh yeah. Well, tell me more,
- 45:10Speaker 1: you know, like the, they're like, you can feel the,
- 45:13Speaker 1: the need, the neediness of a parent to understand what's
- 45:18Speaker 1: happening because a kid doesn't have necessarily the words to
- 45:21Speaker 1: explain what's happening.
- 45:22Speaker 2: There's no, there's no words on it.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Um, and then like, you know, the, the parent self-soothing
- 45:31Speaker 1: in a way that's like, Chuck, he's not real, right?
- 45:35Speaker 1: Like knowing, trying to put that in the kid, uh,
- 45:41Speaker 1: is like sad and scary.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Gaslighting and not believing him.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Um, but yeah, it's, I mean, it's really, it's really, um,
- 45:49Speaker 2: it's done really well.
- 45:51Speaker 1: And then when, when he, uh, Andy's in the bed.
- 45:55Speaker 1: And he's like, why didn't you tell... Like, he says
- 45:58Speaker 1: a line to him to imply... To get Chucky to talk.
- 46:02Speaker 1: And then Chucky turns his head still as.
- 46:05Speaker 2: The good guy doll. I like to be hugged.
- 46:07Speaker 1: I like to be hugged just to let her know
- 46:09Speaker 1: that he's not real. Because she kind of is like,
- 46:11Speaker 1: maybe I'm fucking crazy too.
- 46:13Speaker 2: He does good guy voice.
- 46:15Speaker 1: He does good guy voice. And then she drops him
- 46:17Speaker 1: off at school. And immediately Andy is left with the doll.
- 46:23Speaker 1: And you're just like, what the fuck is happening? And
- 46:26Speaker 1: he's like alone on the subway.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Just like the combination of how low budget this looks
- 46:33Speaker 2: in a way with how high budget it must have
- 46:36Speaker 2: had to have been to be like. a blown up house.
- 46:39Speaker 2: There's so many like practical blown up.
- 46:42Speaker 1: It's still low budget. Cause like they clearly found like
- 46:45Speaker 1: a dilapidated house that they were like, they're going to
- 46:47Speaker 1: blow this up anyway. Can we get the city to
- 46:49Speaker 1: do it or something? You know what I mean? Cause
- 46:51Speaker 1: it's low budget. It feels low budget.
- 46:52Speaker 2: It does feel low budget.
- 46:53Speaker 1: But it's cool. It's good filmmaking.
- 46:55Speaker 8: It is.
- 46:56Speaker 1: And that's why the economy of storytelling is so important
- 46:58Speaker 1: is because you've got, you've got, Chucky doesn't need to move.
- 47:02Speaker 1: He just needs to hear Chucky, right? So that's all implied.
- 47:06Speaker 1: He's carrying the doll around. It's all visually expressed. And
- 47:09Speaker 1: then when he gets to fucking Eddie Caputo's house.
- 47:12Speaker 2: There's my son-in-law.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Mike, who put this up? My son-in-law is the biggest,
- 47:19Speaker 1: can you say ball buster? That there is.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Today only, free readings by Teresa Caputo.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Because he knows where the hideout is. It's all implied.
- 47:30Speaker 1: It's all visual. It's this disgusting house.
- 47:34Speaker 2: They would explain so much of this.
- 47:36Speaker 1: They would explain so much of this now. Yeah. People
- 47:38Speaker 1: would be talking so much. That's what irritates me about
- 47:42Speaker 1: newer movies. Newer mainstream movies. People fucking talking too much.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Too much.
- 47:48Speaker 1: That's also what I appreciated about the new The Odyssey.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Which was like, people didn't really talk. They like expressed.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Or they told stories. But they didn't like talk too much.
- 48:00Speaker 1: A lot of it was shown. And this is like,
- 48:03Speaker 1: you know, you get a little good guy doll hand
- 48:06Speaker 1: opening the oven at this dilapidated house and turning on
- 48:09Speaker 1: the gas.
- 48:10Speaker 2: I loved it. Seeing the little hands do all those things.
- 48:13Speaker 1: And then him being, Andy being like, I've got to
- 48:16Speaker 1: go tinkle. And it's tinkle, dude.
- 48:19Speaker 2: I was just going to say, like, there is, I
- 48:22Speaker 2: was thinking like before going into this, You know, a
- 48:27Speaker 2: lot of these old horror movies get camp, like, in their, like,
- 48:33Speaker 2: second or third or fourth installment. You know what I mean?
- 48:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Whereas this one is right off the bat so campy.
- 48:42Speaker 2: But there's an element of like humor. There is. To
- 48:45Speaker 2: it always.
- 48:46Speaker 1: But the stakes for everything are way higher because it
- 48:49Speaker 1: hasn't shifted to Chucky being the main character in the series.
- 48:53Speaker 2: No, I agree. I agree.
- 48:54Speaker 1: And that's the like Freddiness, Jason, Michael Myers. They all
- 48:59Speaker 1: get turned into the main character eventually.
- 49:02Speaker 2: And like not a teen sex morality story. No, no.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Like a child. It's a child. Full child.
- 49:09Speaker 1: Child's play it feels like with a little eye it
- 49:15Speaker 1: feels like a story being told about a family dynamic
- 49:21Speaker 1: and it's not elevated horror it's all circumstantial it's all
- 49:26Speaker 1: happenstance the movie doesn't the themes are built in through
- 49:32Speaker 1: the characters rather than this movie is about drama this
- 49:37Speaker 1: movie is about grief no this movie is about a
- 49:41Speaker 1: fucking child doll coming alive through voodoo and then trying
- 49:46Speaker 1: to get his body back that's the movie it's the
- 49:48Speaker 1: plot of the movie with these themes like that are
- 49:52Speaker 1: included but that's what it's about whereas like if you
- 49:55Speaker 1: look at something like hereditary i love hereditary i like
- 49:58Speaker 1: like the i like elevated horror but so much of
- 50:01Speaker 1: it is like whereas this is like It doesn't have
- 50:06Speaker 1: to be so self-serious.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to like, how does he get to
- 50:09Speaker 2: Eddie Caputo's house?
- 50:10Speaker 1: Yeah, how does he get? You can tell the writing
- 50:14Speaker 1: is like very low budget as well and thinking about
- 50:16Speaker 1: the budget and being like, okay, how do we fucking
- 50:19Speaker 1: do this? Let's do a line of coke.
- 50:22Speaker 2: There's an economy of storytelling to it and it makes
- 50:25Speaker 2: it kind of like. You know, it makes it beats. Like, bam, bam, bam. And, dude, I, like,
- 50:31Speaker 2: Anna asked, why didn't Chucky go to Eddie Caputo's house alone?
- 50:34Speaker 2: And I was like, well, probably because he's a fucking
- 50:36Speaker 2: doll in the daytime who doesn't want to be just, like,
- 50:39Speaker 2: walking around the city. Yeah, totally.
- 50:40Speaker 1: And also, if he can kill these people and get
- 50:44Speaker 1: away with it, why wouldn't he, right? And they'll just
- 50:46Speaker 1: blame the kid, obviously. He's setting it up in that
- 50:48Speaker 1: kind of way, too. Eddie Caputo coming in.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Is he setting up the kid?
- 50:53Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't know yet that he can transfer into
- 50:56Speaker 1: the body. That's true. So it's like he's kind of
- 50:59Speaker 1: using the body already, which is really interesting.
- 51:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 51:03Speaker 1: Because he can manipulate a kid. Of course. Right? It's
- 51:06Speaker 1: almost like a let the right one in vibe.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Or like a Babadook.
- 51:12Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. Yeah, where it's like the kid sees something
- 51:14Speaker 1: that the parents don't. Eddie Caputo coming out and having
- 51:19Speaker 1: a gun and living in this disgusting place with rats.
- 51:23Speaker 1: There's so much implied history with him as well that's
- 51:27Speaker 1: really beautifully done. And then he fucking explodes the house
- 51:31Speaker 1: as Andy is trying to look around for the Chucky doll.
- 51:36Speaker 1: How did he know he wasn't going to kill that kid?
- 51:38Speaker 2: Like, it's... Like, it's crazy, because... Well, I don't think Chucky's, like,
- 51:42Speaker 2: thinking of.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Thinking about too much. Yeah, exactly.
- 51:44Speaker 2: He's also just, like, fucking flying by the seat of
- 51:46Speaker 2: his pants.
- 51:47Speaker 1: Which is also an amazing character... Dimensional... It's also a
- 51:57Speaker 1: character addition of a third dimension to this character. The, like...
- 52:03Speaker 1: improvisation that this doll is doing because this man is
- 52:07Speaker 1: soul is in this body it's incredible.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Yeah and it's kind of like you see the beginnings
- 52:13Speaker 2: because it's the beginnings of the of his soul merging
- 52:16Speaker 2: with that type of body and it's still the first
- 52:19Speaker 2: movie like we have it retrospectively and we're going to
- 52:21Speaker 2: talk about it as we go i'm sure but they
- 52:24Speaker 2: show hints of it in this movie where like his
- 52:26Speaker 2: body is becoming human human yeah like taking on the
- 52:31Speaker 2: characteristics of like a person yeah yeah and then as
- 52:34Speaker 2: eddie caputo shoots he like sees andy outside and doesn't
- 52:38Speaker 2: see anything it hurt like a son of a bitch
- 52:40Speaker 2: yeah um and and he he like shoots and the
- 52:44Speaker 2: house explodes which is again beat beat beat and the
- 52:50Speaker 2: kid almost explodes and there's like real stakes of like
- 52:54Speaker 2: oh my god is this kid gonna be okay you
- 52:56Speaker 2: know like you they purposely do like he's just play
- 53:00Speaker 2: and just the vulnerability of like i don't remember the
- 53:04Speaker 2: last time i've seen a six-year-old with this like media
- 53:09Speaker 2: role you know totally.
- 53:11Speaker 1: And not sad he's not playing a sad kid No.
- 53:19Speaker 1: He's playing a normal kid.
- 53:20Speaker 2: He's playing a normal kid.
- 53:21Speaker 1: He's a totally normal kid. It's not like Room or
- 53:25Speaker 1: movies I think of in horror now are like they're
- 53:27Speaker 1: already scared all the time. I'm scared all of the time.
- 53:32Speaker 1: This is like he's scared and then he's like, you know,
- 53:36Speaker 1: registered the situation and is now normal because there are
- 53:39Speaker 1: adults around.
- 53:40Speaker 2: And also just it's been weird seeing like... It's so
- 53:46Speaker 2: refreshing to see a kid who's not like... strangely young
- 53:50Speaker 2: and sentient.
- 53:51Speaker 1: Yeah like smart uh like articulate it's just like he's
- 53:55Speaker 1: very very plain jane normal kid he's he's an incredible
- 53:59Speaker 1: actor oh my god he's alex vincent is incredible.
- 54:02Speaker 2: In the movie he's definitely more sentient in the second
- 54:05Speaker 2: one which we'll talk about when we get for sure
- 54:09Speaker 2: but same casting dude.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Karen comes to the police station and mike norris is
- 54:15Speaker 1: like hey like your kid was at this place. It
- 54:19Speaker 1: was fucked. Like what's going on? And, and then they're
- 54:23Speaker 1: interviewing him.
- 54:24Speaker 2: He plays it well too, because he plays it very
- 54:26Speaker 2: believably because he's like, he's like, okay, I'm trying to
- 54:31Speaker 2: kind of like meet you at your level, but this
- 54:34Speaker 2: is fucking crazy.
- 54:35Speaker 1: Yeah. There's tactics to the, the, cause there's the negging
- 54:38Speaker 1: at the beginning and then the like, Oh, I'm, I'm
- 54:41Speaker 1: just trying to help you, you know?
- 54:43Speaker 2: Yeah. Um, they're always just trying.
- 54:46Speaker 1: To get more, but but also this is the point
- 54:49Speaker 1: in which when um alex vincent starts punching the doll
- 54:53Speaker 1: to try and get him to admit to talking man
- 54:57Speaker 1: and mike doris's reaction is just like like it's just
- 55:02Speaker 1: like very sad that's the moment it shifts and there's a.
- 55:05Speaker 2: Child protective services guy who's behind the fake glass being
- 55:10Speaker 2: like all right i've seen it up we're taking your
- 55:12Speaker 2: kid away from you and i'm just like i don't
- 55:15Speaker 2: think like obviously again for the economy of storytelling but
- 55:18Speaker 2: i don't think that's how that works even.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Then yeah totally a hundred percent dude yeah i.
- 55:28Speaker 2: Don't think that they can well i've seen enough.
- 55:31Speaker 1: No it's definitely but it's again yeah like you said
- 55:34Speaker 1: i don't know i mean who knows but but What's
- 55:38Speaker 1: nice about it is.
- 55:40Speaker 2: Not for some white lady living downtown.
- 55:43Speaker 1: But it's a breaking point. The story wants her to
- 55:47Speaker 1: break in a way that gives a believable action for
- 55:51Speaker 1: her to start believing the doll's alive because she wants
- 55:56Speaker 1: her kid to be okay. And then she goes home
- 55:59Speaker 1: with the doll and she's like, okay, fucking talk to me.
- 56:02Speaker 1: I need you to talk to me.
- 56:04Speaker 2: She's like, talk.
- 56:05Speaker 1: I said talk. I'm not your wife.
- 56:07Speaker 2: The hell you're not.
- 56:08Speaker 1: I'm not a doll. The hell you're not. I'm actually
- 56:12Speaker 1: the soul of some- Charles Lee Ray. But she looks
- 56:15Speaker 1: at it and she's like trying, and then.
- 56:17Speaker 2: He goes- If you're not Charles Lee Ray, who the
- 56:19Speaker 2: hell am I?
- 56:20Speaker 1: But she looks at the doll and she's like, oh
- 56:22Speaker 1: my God, what am I fucking- And she laughs. And
- 56:24Speaker 1: then she starts like, You feel the tension in her
- 56:29Speaker 1: both break and the realization of the sadness of what
- 56:32Speaker 1: I'm doing.
- 56:33Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite parts coming up, dude. Hi,
- 56:36Speaker 2: I'm Chucky Wannap. Life falls down and just neatly folds
- 56:42Speaker 2: underneath the bed.
- 56:43Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, but then again, you see that same.
- 56:46Speaker 2: We didn't say that she discovers that the batteries aren't included.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I'm going to set that up now. she, she steps
- 56:55Speaker 1: into the frame in the same way that Maggie was
- 56:58Speaker 1: in the frame and Chucky was in the background listening
- 57:00Speaker 1: to the, the news. And she looks at the, the
- 57:03Speaker 1: box of the good guy doll and like, she turns
- 57:07Speaker 1: it around to kind of see what's up and like,
- 57:10Speaker 1: see if anything is fucked with it. And she, the
- 57:13Speaker 1: batteries fall out and it's such a good indication to
- 57:17Speaker 1: her because it solidifies that feeling that she had earlier.
- 57:21Speaker 1: And then she like, She's like, no way. Like, it
- 57:26Speaker 1: can't be.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Right?
- 57:27Speaker 1: And then she turns the doll around and, man, it's
- 57:32Speaker 1: fucking so awesome.
- 57:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 57:34Speaker 1: It's so, it's such a good way of doing it
- 57:36Speaker 1: because he turns his head around and he's like, hi,
- 57:39Speaker 1: I'm Chucky, wanna play?
- 57:41Speaker 2: And then she falls and neatly folds underneath the doll.
- 57:47Speaker 2: Why does he, like, swiftly go under the couch? I
- 57:51Speaker 2: laughed at that so much.
- 57:52Speaker 1: It's hilarious, because somebody pulled it. Some PA was fucking
- 57:55Speaker 1: pulling it. But then she, like, lights the fire, which
- 57:58Speaker 1: is a great foreshadowing, like, later on in the movie.
- 58:02Speaker 1: And she's, like, she's holding the doll up, and she's like,
- 58:05Speaker 1: tell me you're alive! And he's like, you fucking bitch!
- 58:09Speaker 1: Filthy slut! I'll teach you to fuck with me!
- 58:14Speaker 2: It's scary, dude.
- 58:14Speaker 1: It's scary, dude.
- 58:16Speaker 2: But, like, I was thinking about it, dude. This movie
- 58:20Speaker 2: doesn't have to be rated R. No. Not really, no.
- 58:24Speaker 2: It doesn't at all. And, like, that's, I think, maybe what....
- 58:29Speaker 1: Vander Est, man.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Vander Est. Case doesn't like about Chucky is that it's
- 58:37Speaker 2: too PG-13 for him.
- 58:38Speaker 1: I mean, like we were talking about earlier, it does
- 58:40Speaker 1: feel like... It's a very kids' movie.
- 58:42Speaker 2: You know? Like.
- 58:45Speaker 2: I know that K's will be like, you're just rage-braining me.
- 58:49Speaker 2: I do like Chucky. I do like Chucky.
- 58:51Speaker 1: You don't like Chucky.
- 58:52Speaker 2: I don't like Chucky, dude.
- 58:52Speaker 1: You don't.
- 58:53Speaker 2: You don't.
- 58:53Speaker 1: You're wrong.
- 58:54Speaker 2: You don't have to lie, dude. But we're going to
- 58:55Speaker 2: do it.
- 58:56Speaker 1: But we're going to make this show so good that
- 58:58Speaker 1: you're going to like... You're going to end up being like...
- 59:00Speaker 1: You're going to be like, hi, I'm Chucky. Just, okay,
- 59:03Speaker 1: making the podcast 4k is now um no but but
- 59:07Speaker 1: Chucky ends up escaping and she like is like outrageously
- 59:14Speaker 1: looking for him and she goes to the police and
- 59:18Speaker 1: mike norris is there it's it really is well done
- 59:20Speaker 1: like there are leaps of logic that are there that
- 59:23Speaker 1: i'm like all right like what else would i do
- 59:25Speaker 1: but go to mike norris the detective that's like doing
- 59:28Speaker 1: this fucking thing and she's like.
- 59:32Speaker 2: Like turkey's real i saw him i saw him and
- 59:35Speaker 2: he bit me oh man but he bites.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Her yeah he bites her uh he it feels also
- 59:41Speaker 1: like chucky's getting weightier dude.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Mike powers always used to make this face and it
- 59:45Speaker 2: looked so uncanny exactly and he would.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Go yeah totally the biting the chucky face oh.
- 59:52Speaker 2: Dude it was amazing i love when mike powers makes
- 59:54Speaker 2: the chucky face.
- 59:55Speaker 1: But then then she she shows the bite and he's
- 59:59Speaker 1: like how the fuck did you get that and and
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: she's like i got him i i know that it
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: happened and then she's like he he like leave she
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: leaves to go to where the homeless man was to
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: like find out where chucky is and they're these like
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: perverts man it does feel like a little bit poverty
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: shaming the background actors are we're told to act like
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: in a like a stereotypical way like whatever way.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: That they were stereotyping it was it was kind of
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: wild to see yeah But I was enjoying it, dude.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: But actually, some of them were almost getting interviewed by
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: the CBC or something. Being like, no, I don't know
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: where that guy is. Well, they were doing too much acting.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: They were doing weird NPCs.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: It was like, this is my big break. I get
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: to be an NPC.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Dude, when she finds the homeless guy who dated Maggie...
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: And he's like, he's like.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: He's trying to wipe the dick crust off so that
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: he can have sex with some chick that he's walking with.
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: Dude!
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: He's horny. His performance, though, his like... When he sees her?
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: I forgot.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: I was.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: I don't remember you at all performance. is incredible it's
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: like an amazing amazing performance i mean and he's like
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: you got any money and then and then back to
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: his foreskin dude and it was and then he's like
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: that's not enough and then he like tries to rape
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: her it's like a really scary scene.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: And like okay i mean this is from the time
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: in the 80s where people were like.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Rape will happen yeah and it's like rape It doesn't
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: happen in this way.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: I'm sure it does happen like that, but, like, rape
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: usually happens by people you know.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: It's, like, in, like, way different circumstances than this.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: It feels a little bit more realistic that the cop
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: would be like, ugh, than... finding this homeless man because
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: he's already a little bit taking advantage of her but
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: it is it does feel mark ruffalo.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: My daughter who's in uh preschool uh has a little
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: period of uh so it's okay.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: He rough he ruffles this guy's up this feathers.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Up dandy he like kind of.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: We didn't say the first when aunt maggie says dandy
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: the first dandy dude oh yeah totally because you know
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: when we're gonna see it again dude In part two
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: from Beth Grant. Of course. Man, the homeless guy looks
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: so Serbian or specifically maybe Croatian.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Also Croatian, yeah.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: Yeah, or he could be... He's somewhere from the Balkans, dude,
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: for sure. Definitely. Hey, I got this toy. I found it.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: I got it. It's the real one.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: When she... He tried... Mike Norris tries to take her home.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: He also gives way too much information about, like, Charles
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Lee Ray.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Well, he takes Charles Lee Ray's file, dude.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Yeah, he, like, he, like, explains a lot. She says
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: his name. She says it's Charles Lee Ray or whatever.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: And he's like, how the fuck do you know that? Like, it's, like, weird, right?
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: He's got pictures on his ass like Charles Lee Ray.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: Spiral's always trying just to stay out of jail. He's
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: Spiral Liddell. um come on dude and then and then
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: it's as pictures on his ass like charles lee ray dude.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: He's like it's not charles lee ray and she's like
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: how do you know because i'm sane and rational and
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: then he leaves he drops her off at home uh
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: and then but then like kind of gets the idea
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: that it it might be charles lee ray he did
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: do some weird voodoo shit um.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: Yeah. This is the only part of the movie that
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: kind of like.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: It stretches a little bit of credulity.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: But he goes and Charles Lee Ray fucking is in
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: the car and is stabbing at his balls and his back.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Man, like, well, first he tries to strangle him because
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: he's the Chi-Town Strangler. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Chi-Town, let
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: it bang!
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: Chi-Rack Strangler. uh and this is well shot this is
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: oh my god very cool very nicely done him like
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: driving around.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: In the chicago those like i love those how cinematic
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: that underpass from the chicago is.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: And and he like puts the cigarette lighter in and
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: then burns chucky's face and he's.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Like dude the scree was amazing dude his howl oh
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: so good.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: And then the like stabbing at the balls. It's almost,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: it is very comical. It's like, it's almost silly. It's
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: very funny, but also.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: Done in a clumsy way, the way a small doll
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: would do it. So it's kind of terrifying from that
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: angle too, because he doesn't have, I like that he
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: has limitations, you know, like he has doll limitations and
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: that's good.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: And he, like, the car ends up flipping around, and he, like,
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: finally believes it. Like, it's like, oh, my God, a
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: fucking doll?
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: You can't shoot me, Mikey.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: Oh, you can't shoot me, Mikey. It hurt. But, like,
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: you feel, like, when he does shoot him, it's like...
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: And you feel the pain, too.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: He gets, like, shot away like a doll.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Like, they do so much, like, doll physics in this.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: The doll physics is the best.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: I yanked the.
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: I yanked the, um, thing.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: And the way the head turns, like... It's.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: So good, dude.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: It feels very alive.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Dude, the, like, fucking gnarly face that he's making all
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: the time is amazing. Like, when he's like.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: This is kind of where I... shifted my mindset on
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: the kind of problematic nature of the movie where it's
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: like uh how they do we develop.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Voodoo it feels like with the guy dude well if
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: he's friends with no no no.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: He worships him. I didn't realize when he was a kid.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: He worships the guy.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Oh, no, he's not King Willie.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: What's the guy's name? John.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me, John. Because he's like painted.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: It's so good, dude.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: But he's like painted portraits of himself worshiping John.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: That's true.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: That's true. He's like given himself to this like weird cult.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: But John seems like he's a normal guy, kind of
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: weirdly taking advantage of white people. Because he's just normal.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: He's just normal in the movie. Well, he's wearing those beads.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: I mean, but he's, like, cooking food in this, like,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Chicago apartment.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: I'm just joking, dude. I know. I think he is
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: just a normal guy. You think he's, like, doing, like,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: a shaman retreat? Yeah. He's scamming Mama?
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: It feels like it. A little bit.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: He's, like.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: He believes it, but he's scamming people, too.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Well, no, but he teaches him something that, like... that works. Yeah, totally.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Oh. And it says painted on the walls. Oh, thank you.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Mighty Damballa for the, for life after death.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: It's like, but is John Damballa or is Damballa a God?
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I think Damballa is a God. I think John might
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: be like, like teaching through Damballa.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: Okay. He's teaching. He's teaching the teachings of Damballa.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: Because we didn't explain this because the next day, Karen
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: goes to Charles Lee Ray's house, which the, guy just
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: gave her for some reason mike uh mike norris gives
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: karen the address to charles lee ray's house and she
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: goes there uh because she obviously wants to get her
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: son back and then mike ends up coming there and
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: being like coming out of the shadows creepily but again
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: it does put into perspective the kinds of story uh
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: beats that it's gonna take because it doesn't really matter um,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: how he gets, how he knows that she's there at
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: that time or she, like, it's just kind of works
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: for the story really well, um, narratively and editing wise.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: And then it cuts to John who is the portrait
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: of the thing of the, of the person on the walls.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: And then he even seems like he doesn't believe that
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Chucky is in this fucking doll. It's like, that's why
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: i think he does feel like he's just scamming people
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: it's like it's almost like he's never done it to
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: somebody in real life john yeah john has never done
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: it but he's been taught this this method throughout his life.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: You think that's what that was i wonder if we
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: get more lore.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: On that yeah like i'm trying to like i don't
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: think so maybe later maybe in like the last movie
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: or whatever curse of chucky or whatever with fiona doris um.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: I can't wait dude i can't wait to alum brad
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: dorff pit alum Oh, yeah, totally. finish the series alex.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Not yet no but john's reaction too is like really
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: beautifully done this actor is incredible like he him getting
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: explained to that like it hurt And then him, in
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: real time, realizing that not only is everything that he's
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: taught him true, but also knows... why the body is gonna, like,
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: taking over the new body or whatever. Like, he knows,
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: and it's sad for him. It's sad that he taught
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: this guy to do this.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Totally, totally.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: There's, like, kind of a regret in the character.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: But there's also, like, realizations that Chucky is having at
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: the same time, that he's gonna have to, like, be
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: in the body of a kid.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in a six-year-old boy!
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: And it's kind of interesting because I think... I don't know, like,
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: this is the kind of lore drop that seems like
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: it would happen in, like, a third or fourth movie. Totally. Like,
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: this seems like a very deep lore drop, like, and there's, like,
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: it's so heavily weighs on, like, the, like, specific it
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: does explain a lot still yeah because.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: He pulls the voodoo doll and shit maybe maybe i'm
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: wrong like maybe he does know because he's like taught
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: him stuff you're right maybe like he has taught him
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: stuff uh because he breaks the doll's fucking arms and
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: legs yeah but the cool thing about it but but
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: the visual aspect of a doll breaking another doll's like
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: arms and legs and then seeing a real person's arms
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: and legs break is fucking awesome like it's again the
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: storytelling is incredible this this is a classic it's just
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: amazing and then he stabs you.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: Definitely see why chucky's included in.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: A hundred percent dude a hundred percent and honestly he's
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: the vandale dude i was gonna say he's probably the
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: bruce willis actually.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: Who's the vandale Mike Myers.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Mike Myers is the Van Damme. No!
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: We gotta do it next.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta do it next. And then, you know,
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: we get to John's house with Karen and... Karen! And Mike.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: And he's, like, still dying. But I love the fact
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: that they have a connection immediately because she's like, where's
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: my son? But also, please don't die. But also, please
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: tell me where my son is. You know, there's that
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: kind of level of, like... human empathy that's like oh
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: no a man is dying but also like i need
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: you for something please then it cuts to the weirdest
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: jail that they put this kid in that feels.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: The fact that they put kid in jail was insane and.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: That rudy giuliani is this doctor.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: Wait who did he remind me of yeah he was
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: such a gross guy and he was like what was
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: he like he was kind of like yeah Yeah.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: He's a little bit feeble, aggressive, but also trying to...
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: He's one of those scary adults when you're a kid.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: It's like, oh no, why is his hair... look like
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: that it's like uncanny um this scene where this is
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: the scene where where andy cries and it's like oh
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: no this is like a real crying he's very crying
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: in this.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Dude when he cries in this scene i was like
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: oh my god i feel like watching this movie is unethical.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: But yeah he like the doctor is like clearly trying
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: to help it's he reminds me of it's like a
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: combination of rudy giuliani and william friedkin william friedkin yeah Um,
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: mixed with a little bit of hopper in there.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: Totally.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: Um, and Chucky like comes in, he like comes into
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: the room, like looking at the nurse and like steals
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: the keys, um, like tiny hands stealing keys. And it's
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: nice because Andy also knows that Chucky is after him
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: and he like puts the pillow underneath and he kind
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: of is ready to leave. He's ready to escape. Which
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: I loved. I thought that was great. He's hiding under
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: the bed. Chucky opens the door, stabs the pillow.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: On the bed.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: Andy runs. And then they have a fight scene in
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: one of the laboratories or whatever. It's like an insane
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: asylum or whatever. Insane asylums were so huge in the
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: 80s and 90s.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: And the clumsiness.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: Of a kid holding a scalpel, and then the doctor
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: coming in and, like, taking the- trying to take the
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: scalpel out of his hands. I was kind of like,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: that's a real scalpel. That's a real scal- it was
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: a real fucking scalpel. And the fact that the doctor
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: was so awkwardly trying to, like- I noticed that too.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: You know when a kid has a grip and you're
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: trying to lift the fingers up and it's impossible? And
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: then Chucky fucking straps the electroshock therapy head on the
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: doctor and is like.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: This part was, I think, the funniest part. It was
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: definitely the funniest part. Because he was just getting crispy, dude.
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: He was just like... 100%.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: 100%. And then the pervert doctor comes at the hospital
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: with Mike and he's like, it's like kind of them
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: three against the world now. And it is very dad
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: core energy. He's like, Karen, where do you think Andy
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: would go? He would go home. Does he have a key?
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Under the mat. We're poor. We don't have anything. and
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: then and then the the doll coming back home and
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: then being in the elevator and the the woman on
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: the elevator being like like to the doll because it's
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: all burnt and like chuckified now yeah yeah i also
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: like the fact that chucky face it's chucky face yeah
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: it's no after a certain point in the movie they
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: switched out the dolls and it's like very much like Like,
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: receding hairline. Like, the face kind of emulating... But receding
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: hairline happens very soon in the franchise. Totally, yeah. And
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: kind of the hair, the face, a little bit emulating
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: Brad Dourif. Because Brad Dourif has those beautiful eyes as well. And, like,
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: it almost looks like a child version of Dourif. Like,
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: an uglified child.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: And Andy's in the closet hiding. Chucky comes in and
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: they do these nice shots where you see the movement
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: of Chucky through the grates as a shadow and stuff
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: like that. They do a lot of stuff to build...
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: the menace of him while at the same time retaining
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: his size, which is very cool.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: But then some scenes, just like a fucking bulky Chucky
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: walks in.
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Chucky's been lifting, dude.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: Andy, like, pulling out his baseball bat while Chucky fucking
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: has a knife. A cool knife. Dude, where the fuck
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: did he get that knife? Oh, because he got it from,
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: what's his name?
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: Mike.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Not Mike.
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: John. Oh, okay. Sometimes the Chucky, bulky Chucky reminded me
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: of like bulky Jason from like the later movies.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: Oh yeah, totally, totally. And then he fucking hits, Chucky
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: fucking hits Andy in the head with the baseball bat.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: And he like flips him over and then he tries to, Hade, Dewey, Dembele.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: As Karen is running up the steps, we get like
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: the clouds. We didn't talk about the clouds, too.
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: The clouds, Terminator.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: And he's like, Mike is now reminded also that like
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: the clouds happened at that point. So they know that
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: like it's going to be.
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: He knows he's Hade, Dewey, Dembele. Give me the power,
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: I beg of you! Oh, man.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: And then I loved the fact that she runs in
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: to grab Andy. Chucky turns around and bites her in
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: the face. And then Mike comes in and throws the
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: dummy across the room.
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: You can do so much fun stuff like that with
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: a Chucky doll.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: Totally.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: Throw him around.
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Mike is coming into the room and
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: is obviously beaten up, and he's looking under the bed
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: and stuff. Man, he looks so much like Mike Ruffalo.
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: It's so weird. And Chucky comes in. Uh, with adult strength.
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: Uh, and.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: Because he's a body now. He's not just a.
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: He's like a young person in a small suit.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: Bulky Chucky.
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: And then he fucking hits, uh, Mike. And Catherine comes
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: into the room.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Catherine.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: Yeah. Catherine Hicks. Comes into the room and shoots Chucky
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: in the fucking leg.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: Karen.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: Um.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: And, like, then, like, just shooting him up completely. Like,
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: shooting up the tiny body... Is that when that happens?
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: When does she burn him to a crisp?
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, he gets shot in the leg. Chucky physics
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: across the room and then runs to her with a
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: gross face. And it's like, there's a lot of biting, too.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: It's very strange. But she throws him into the fireplace.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: And she's like, I got to get the matches and
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: the matches fall. And Andy is so freaked out because
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: obviously he's told not to use matches as a kid.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: and she's like grab the fucking matches no.
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: Andy's fucking catatonic in this he is very catatonic he's
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: like chucky's being terrified and he's behind a cage that
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: she's like closed his face is like goopy gnarled he's
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: got a human mouth the system like.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: And and he he Andy throws the match in and
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: he's like, wait, Andy, no!
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: This is the... We're friends to the end!
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: This is the end, friend!
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I wanted to ask you about this is
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: the end, friend.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: It's great.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: It's great because, like, it's dead-eyed real child menacing rather than, like,
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: you know, a cool line that they got a kid
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: to say. Yeah, 100%. It does seem like it's happened
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: on the heels of him having this, like, insanely traumatic situation.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he plays it really well. It is the most,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: this is the line you're gonna do, rather than, like,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: it's very natural. Everything else is so natural, and that's
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: what sells the movie.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: The nature of it. And then the doll, but the doll, like,
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: jittering around, and then like slowly dying was like really
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: like this.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: Is like the thing that becomes like kind of characteristic
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: about chucky movies is like how fucked up chucky gets like.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Throughout the movie yeah how much can we like get
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: this doll to be fucked and like they go over
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: to help mike and And, like, go get the first
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: aid kit. And the doll is gone. Like, Andy goes
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: to get the first aid kit. And imagine this. Just, like,
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: a mush, scary, mechanical, creepy, like, melted....
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: You see the, like, robotics that they used to make Chucky,
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: which was interesting. Totally.
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: And, like, he's still strong. It's still, like, almost like
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: he's not human yet, but... That's why he can like
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: get away with being a melted crisp. And then he
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: stabs through the door and fucking stabs, uh, Karen's hand
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: and it like gets closer and closer to her face.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: Yeah. And that part was very shining. Yeah.
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: Very cool. Very, very cool. Like a one final, uh, uh,
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: sort of gasp at, at living or whatever. And like
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: walking towards it and she's like shooting it and shooting
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: it and shooting it. And he's just like, it's so
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: fucked and the body shooting the head off and then
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: the body like coming still towards it. It's so good.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: And then it like it falling and crawling towards the, it's,
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: it's great. It's like a great visual. It's super nice.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: I love when they think it's all over and the
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: fucking balding cop comes in with the mustache and they're like,
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: don't touch anything. And he picks up the head and
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: puts it on the like fire mantle. He's like, look,
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: this thing is, what are you talking about?
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: And then suddenly he's like, I'm going to fucking kill you.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: We have another fake out ending where like the half
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: body of Chucky is just like trying to choke out
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: the balding cop.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Which is great because like it gives us a moment
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: to be like, well, these three are, we don't, we
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: want one final like sort of, scare or kill we
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: want these people to have like a good time you
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: know what i mean like we want them to be
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: just just cool because we love them we i love
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: these people.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: You know yeah i mean he's gonna be the dad now.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Yeah of course or child protective services is gonna take the.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Kid i mean definitely child services child protective services is
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: gonna take uh andy andy yeah.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: It's it's um it's such a why because he also
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: the way that mike doesn't want to shoot his partner
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: uh is really hilarious um and the fact that he
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: kind of like believes believes it too this like other
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: person believes it and like it seems.
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: Kind of like it's like well now that four people.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: Have seen yeah totally it's like and the fact that
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: like the dummy kind of struggles to survive is really
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: funny um Um, and then he shoots him in the heart.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: Who's going to believe me?
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: Yeah. The little heart explodes.
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Which is great. I, I, yeah. Mike being like,
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: you believe me now? Who's going to believe me? It's,
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: it's like all of it is really well done. Cause
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: like even, even the pervert gross cop is like, nah,
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: he's got a soul. He's got a person. He's a person,
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: you know? Um, I would never leave my kid alone.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: Ever again after this. Like, she leaves with the cop, like,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: helping him up and shit.
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: I would never.
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: I just... I don't think I could. Like, it's like, oh,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: magic is real? You know what I mean?
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Like, you'd be fucking crazy. Yeah, like, now I'm, like,
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: having to, like, defend again. Well, I think that's what
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: happens in part two. I think she is crazy and
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: gets committed.
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: She's Sarah Connard a little bit?
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: She's... Yeah, she's trying to blow up data centers, dude. Yeah,
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: holy shit. It's, like... Such a breezy watch. It's so fun.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: How many Chucky's? How many Denbillas are we giving it? Okay.
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: I mean, we've got to give it like a 10
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: out of 10.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: It's a 10 out of 10. Dude, 10 out of
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: 10 for me across the board. I'm 10 out of 10.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: At first, I was like, I can't tell Milenko that
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: I'm giving this a 10 out of 10. I was
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: so excited to come and talk to you about it.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: Because I was like, I'm giving this a 10 out
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: of 10. And as I was watching it, I was like,
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: 10 out of 10, 10 out of 10, 10 out
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: of 10. And there was like a moment where I
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: was like, you know, there were parts where I was like,
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: is this like realistic? But then I was like, nah,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: this is fucking 10 out of 10. Easily, easily for me.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: I was like so captivated immediately. Like, honestly, I'm like,
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: it's kind of, this might be controversial. It's kind of like,
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: better than all of the first movie like it's kind
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: of better than nightmare on the street one friday the
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: 13th one i would say that it's comparable i would
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: say halloween is comparable i think this is like it's
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: an amazing movie it's actually like i was like like
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: lore storytelling economy characters it fires.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: On memorability funniness yeah The kid, the stakes with how
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: young and vulnerable the kid is. There's so much about
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: it that works.
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's not better than Nightmare on Elm Street.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: It's definitely like, it deserves Pantheon though, in terms of.
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: All of it, all of the first ones are like, yes,
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: these are awesome. This is awesome. This should be Lorde,
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: you know?
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think I see that you're trying to
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: make the case for it in a way that like
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: it's kind of like the little movie that could. I
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: honestly don't think it needs to be even pushed forward
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: like that hard, dude. Like, yeah, like 100 percent. It's
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: it's it's done so well. And like from what I remember,
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: the first three are like solid. Yeah. Like, in terms of, like,
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: continuing the story and stuff.
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: Yeah, making sense in a way that's, like, making motivations
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: make sense. That's what I remember. I'm really excited to
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: talk about the second one. The second one's going to
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: be great.
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: Me too. The second one has always been my favorite.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: My personal favorite. You know, we want to know why. Why?
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: And we'll see if it holds up to this. It's
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: my favorite Chucky kill at the end.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: I like that he's turned into Big Goop.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: I like the third one as a, how they took
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: the Big Goop.
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: And like squished it and the blood when blood starts.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: Makes no sense but um what about you dude what
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: would you rate.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: It um I would think I think I would give
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: it both 10 Chucky 10 Dembalas and just 10 across
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: the board um I don't know if I would go
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: as far as saying that I think it's like you
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: know better than all the firsts um I think it's
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: I think it's on par I really do think it's
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: on par yeah um interested i'm interested to see how
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: it goes like you know it kind of like turns
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: into like its own thing like chucky becomes obviously like
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: all of the other guys like a phenomenon right so
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: i think like i'm i'm interested in the lore because
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: you know i was really thirsty for lore on our
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: last season for a final destination yeah you and i
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: were both pretty disappointed with the lack of lore Yeah.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: And just the lack of continuity between it, the lack
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: of care that didn't seem to match what some people
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: like Tony Todd would do or like the first one
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: was doing or like the fifth one was doing like
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: where it just it's the opposite. It's the antithesis of
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Final Destination because of the fact that it feels like. Yeah,
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: it gets funny and it gets weird and wacky or whatever.
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: But it does feel like everybody cares so much, especially
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: Brad Dourif. But everybody in this movie really, really sold it.
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: In a way that a lot of those other movies
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: feel like funny for reasons that are external to funny
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: for reasons that feel external to the movie. It feels like, Oh,
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: what the eighties looked like, or, Oh, this acting is
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: a little bad. All of the acting is like, you
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: can complain about the writing somewhat in this. I don't
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: even think that actually.
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: Like it's, it's like, What makes you say that, though?
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: What, the writing?
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: Just because, like, it's the one thing I can think
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: of that's, like, a little bit strains credibility. Because the
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: acting is selling the writing. And if it's put in
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: different hands, it feels like it would have been a mess.
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: But the writing, the direction, the cinematography, the feeling that
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: I get of reality from this movie, it's not colored enough.
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: It's just like very real looking. Um, it, it doesn't
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: feel like a movie and feel, or it does feel
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: like a movie. Obviously it is a movie, but what
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: it feels like is I'm watching like events unfold rather than, um,
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: you know, there's a movie-ness to a lot of like horror.
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: Whereas because of the structure of it, because of the like,
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: backstories of like charles lee ray and stuff like all
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: that kind of stuff feels very natural.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: In the written written in as your wife yeah.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: Totally so like i don't even know i can't i
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: can't complain about it like it's there's so much good
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: stuff and you know what gaze is right it might
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: be a little bit like you know um it might
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: be a little bit of a uh.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: Well, what do we imagine Kaze's hesitation is?
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: Glazing. There's a little bit of too much glazing that's
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: going to happen.
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: We're going to be glazing Chucky too much.
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: We're going to be glazing Chucky too much. But, I mean,
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: we glazed all of them. We glazed Freddy. Freddy is
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: our favorite. We glazed Billy the Puppet. Schwartzy. We did
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: some work for Billy the Puppet. We did some work
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: for Saw. Because some of them are, you know. Some
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: of them are, like, oh, man. Okay. But, like, the
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: themes are interesting. The writing in that isn't great.
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: The story was always on point, though. It's way better
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: than fucking... I mean, Final Destination was, like, what a dud, dude.
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: Holy shit. Like, I'm so sorry about that.
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: You got the dud?
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: I'm sorry I doubled down on fucking doing that. It
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: was so bad.
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: It was so bad, dude.
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: Even, like, the good ones, like, not worth it to
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: talk about.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: Nope. uh whereas like this is like every scene like
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: i can talk about like i was watching it being
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: like i can talk like 15 minutes per scene like
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: just the subtlety of like actor choices camera choices backgrounds
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: um you know
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: Yeah 10 across the board yeah i'm really happy with
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: it and i can't wait to watch the next one
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: dude yeah for sure all right
