0:06
Hello. What's your least favorite scary
0:08
movie? Hi, I'm Tony.
0:14
I'm. Going to watch your least
0:17
favorite scary movie? The podcast where we talk about
0:20
the good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd and all of our
0:23
favorite. And least favorite?
0:24
Scary movies. Because we believe every horror
0:26
movie rightfully has its fan base.
0:28
Even if we don't always get it. My name is Travis.
0:31
My name is Jesse. And welcome back to our
0:33
franchise coverage this month, everybody.
0:36
We're back with Child's play. Yeah, going back to Chucky.
0:40
So yeah, we got a lot in store for y'all.
0:44
Ready to have a lot of fun? First I get a couple quick
0:46
announcements. One is that To Be or Not came
0:48
out this past Sunday. We covered Cruel World, a
0:52
reality TV based horror movie. Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
0:56
We talked a lot more about it than we expected to, but it was
0:59
all good. It's.
1:01
A fun time it's. A fucking chaotic episode, I
1:04
will say that much. We we had some fun.
1:07
Yes, we had our fun. We enjoyed it a lot, and we're
1:10
here excited to talk about Child's Play too, a very
1:13
competently made movie which we have fun with in a very
1:19
different kind of way. It's yeah, entirely different
1:22
type of fun, that is for sure. Also, to announce patrons budget
1:27
to your patrons, I need you to do a couple of things.
1:30
One, be on the lookout on your feed for the August patron vote.
1:36
And if you want to be a patron that can vote, you just got to
1:39
go join our budget to your Patreon, OK?
1:41
It's $6 a month if you want to have voting power, if you want
1:44
to get bonus episodes, that's all it takes.
1:47
And then you get a shout out at the end of the episode and you
1:49
get a cool sticker every month. Yeah, so we've got that coming.
1:53
And we're also going to have our bonus episode out soon.
1:55
We think we know what we want to do, but we got to make sure it
1:58
works first. Yeah, that's true.
2:00
We're we're going to try a thing and if it doesn't work, we'll
2:04
have to regroup very quickly. But that's we, we think we know
2:07
what we want to do. So that's going to be coming out
2:09
sometime soon. So keep on the lookout for that.
2:13
And thank you, as always, for being our beautiful lovely.
2:15
Bubby. Yeah.
2:16
Thank you all. OK.
2:18
All right. I have poll results.
2:20
We sure do. I came up with this poll this
2:22
week, guys. Yeah, I'm very happy.
2:24
Normally I'm I've been very, very busy at work.
2:27
So Travis has just been kind of posting the polls.
2:32
We actually work together with this one.
2:33
And this was this is my suggestion.
2:35
We actually did not work together.
2:37
Jesse did come up with this one entirely, so yeah.
2:40
This one. I tried to give you credit.
2:42
Thank you. Yeah, I.
2:42
Don't need you posted it you. Just gave me credit for doing
2:45
the ones before. You deserve credit for this one.
2:47
So the poll that Jesse came up with was, did you guys ever play
2:52
Bloody Mary? So we were talking about
2:54
Paranormal Activity 3 and Bloody Mary was a big aspect of that
2:57
movie. So we just kind of wanted to
2:59
gather everybody's impressions with that.
3:01
We all know I did because I told a very traumatic story about how
3:04
I still can't be alone in a dark bathroom.
3:06
Yeah, how the people related to that.
3:09
So on Twitter, 63% of you guys played it, 37% hadn't.
3:14
And over on Instagram, 67% and 33%.
3:20
OK. So basically 2/3, two out of
3:23
three children have played Bloody Mary.
3:25
Or maybe adults, I don't know. Yeah, maybe you waited until you
3:28
were like of legal age. It seems like most people have
3:32
and I think that that see, that was one of the things I was
3:35
wondering during the conversation of that movie is,
3:38
is that that's still a thing that kids do or is that a thing
3:42
that died with our generation? I don't.
3:44
Got it. We need to ask.
3:46
We need to ask our nephews because they're the oldest.
3:48
That's true. The two oldest nephews, that is.
3:50
Yeah. Yeah, your sisters.
3:52
We need to Yeah, No, I know. We we need to yeah, we need to
3:56
get to the bottom of this. I mean, I'm really curious.
3:59
So yeah, thank you guys for playing along with the pole.
4:03
We appreciate that, as always. I'm glad none of you have been
4:05
killed by Bloody Mary. Yes, we are all living.
4:08
Tony Todd has not gotten any of us yet.
4:10
Yeah, I guess if Tony Todd's a Bloody Mary.
4:13
Yeah, or Candy Man. Or Death himself.
4:16
Or Death himself. Yeah.
4:18
Yeah. OK.
4:19
Norm MacDonald. OK, do.
4:21
We have background. Facts.
4:22
We do. All right, so let's get in the
4:25
child's plea to everybody. Yay.
4:27
So Child's Play Two released November 9th, 1990.
4:33
OK, William. Shatner.
4:35
First release at According to IMDb, first release at Internet.
4:43
Was the Internet a thing in 1990 where you could get movies?
4:47
No, I don't think. So, I mean, we all know Al Gore
4:51
invented the Internet, Al. Gore was on my mind here.
4:54
Was he the 1st to watch Child's Play back in 1990?
4:57
Like nobody's seen this shit. Yeah, nobody knows about this
5:00
fucking dog. He invented the Internet so that
5:02
way people could watch Child's Play too.
5:06
Yeah. Tell everybody you know.
5:08
Global warming be damned. Everybody watched that fucking
5:10
movie with the doll. That was his main goal there, so
5:15
we didn't watch it on the Internet.
5:17
We watched it on or 4K because that's what we have.
5:20
That's what we watched, this bad boy.
5:22
On middle fork. But if you do want to watch
5:25
this, as of July 2024, you can watch it on Tubi, yeah.
5:30
That's for free. Yeah, that is the only place you
5:32
can stream this thing currently. But if you'd rather pay money,
5:36
you can do so on Prime Apple, Fandango at home, or YouTube.
5:40
So those are options out there, Yes.
5:43
Written by Don Man, who actually gets the sole writing credit
5:47
this time around. Yes, I'm proud of her boy.
5:49
He he finally got it. John Lafia who is the director.
5:53
Music by Graham Revell. Special effects makeup by Image
5:57
Engineering with Kevin Yeager returning to do puppeteering and
6:02
effects. Starring Alex Vincent as Andy,
6:07
introducing Christine Elise as Kyle.
6:10
This is his her film debut here. OK, she was like 27 too, right?
6:15
She was pretty old. I think, I think I remember Alex
6:18
Vinson's interview saying that you know, there is a 20 year age
6:22
gap that he was still. She was in her 20s.
6:24
At least then. Andy Alex Vinson was still a
6:27
little baby boy. We have Jenny Agador as Joanne,
6:32
Garrett Graham as Phil and Brad Duriff as Chucky.
6:36
Yes. All right, time for our favorite
6:38
show. Our favorite game on the show
6:42
there. We go.
6:43
Budget or bugton I was. About to say you really Pat
6:47
Sajak, that one. Yeah, amazing.
6:51
He always recovers and that's what I do.
6:53
Here you pat Sajaked it. IPad.
6:55
IPad. IPad dude, He just.
6:59
Retired. He just retired.
7:01
I'm going in for that position. Bug Ted.
7:05
OK, you're incorrect. It is a budget.
7:08
Oh. Damn.
7:09
Yeah, well, man, this thing got picked up at Universal after
7:13
this MGM, they lost the rights because they were in the middle
7:18
of being acquired by a company that really wanted to pursue
7:23
family friendly movies. So there was a big.
7:26
It's called child's play. Well, yeah, I know they could
7:28
maybe sneak in, but it ended up being a whole bidding war
7:33
between a bunch of companies. Universal got it.
7:35
Disney really, really wanted it under Touchstone, their adult
7:40
brand. But yeah, Universal one, and
7:43
they gave them the big. Bucks for this Buena Vista
7:45
considered under Disney's brand? Cuz I know Buena Vista is a
7:48
Disney brand. I just associated with their
7:51
Lifetime esque movies. They're Hallmark.
7:55
Brands, but there are Buena Vista horror movies.
7:57
There are and they are very much lifetime and Hallmark esque that
8:01
stands true. OK.
8:03
So yeah, $13 million. What's the budget for this?
8:06
And that's 13 million in 1990 money.
8:08
It's pretty solid. So that's that's a good, that's
8:11
a good amount. Yeah.
8:11
Opening box office 10.7 million worldwide Gross 35.7.
8:18
OK. IMDb I'm going to say this is
8:21
kind of rude 5.9. What the fuck?
8:24
I know this is such a good one in this series.
8:27
This is one of the strongest Child's Play movies.
8:30
Oh my God. I don't.
8:32
I want to go personally talk to anybody who rated it under A6.
8:36
I would like to know. I guarantee you, Roger Ebert,
8:39
it's one of them. I don't have any grounds for
8:42
that other than he hated horror movies and he was a reviewer at
8:45
the time, but he probably hated it.
8:46
Roger Ebert didn't like the thing, so I.
8:50
Didn't like the thing. His opinion on horror be banned.
8:52
The thing is beautiful. It's perfect.
8:54
To be fair, everybody shot on the thing when that came out.
8:57
I don't care. Yeah, so I have a a theme here.
9:02
I hope I've redeemed myself because you were so wet down
9:04
with my theme last time I did this.
9:06
I just, I feel like we're not making equal efforts into our
9:09
themes, OK? I just, I want to feel.
9:12
I want to feel a balanced power dynamic.
9:14
OK, well here we go. The theme that I have for three
9:19
movies that also released in 1990 are little guys that are
9:24
angry that are also in their second movie.
9:26
That's amazing. That's a beautiful thing.
9:29
Please tell me one of them's Leprechaun 2.
9:31
No, it's not actually. I don't think like a Leprechaun
9:33
one was even out at this point. That was an early 90s movie.
9:36
I yeah, well, I was kind of hoping because I know it was
9:38
Jennifer Aniston's. This is before friends.
9:41
But not it was too. Far before Yeah, OK, well
9:44
friends was like early 90s, so it was like it was.
9:47
Possible mid mid 90s. I think this is 1990 and we're
9:51
starting the decade here. OK, so the first movie I have
9:55
basket case two Blau is a little.
9:59
Angry Guy. And that would be his sequel,
10:01
yeah. He's super angry.
10:02
He is. Do you?
10:03
Want me to? Do it you can.
10:04
We also have Blau himself. In the room, No, I'll just move
10:07
the microwave so it's not it doesn't blow it out.
10:12
That's that's pretty much it. I mean it was me on the buttons.
10:17
So just so, yeah, I think I've adjusted the levels on our mics
10:20
to where you could do that and you won't blow it out.
10:21
We're not gonna peek. We're not gonna like.
10:24
I haven't even begun to peek. No, you have not.
10:27
That was good. I'm sure people, our listeners
10:30
appreciate you doing that to the side every day.
10:33
So yeah, Basket Case Two released March 2nd, 1990 with a
10:37
two and a half million dollar budget.
10:40
Good for them. Yeah, they gave Frank, Hen and
10:42
Lauter some money. Was that hen and lauter again
10:44
for the? Season he did.
10:45
All of them. Good, good for him.
10:46
I'm so glad to hear that. Yeah, it's also the same year
10:49
that Frank and Hooker came out, so he was a busy boy.
10:51
Good for him. Yeah, I like Hen and Lauter.
10:54
I I enjoy hearing his success. Yeah.
10:56
So that doesn't have a gross that I can report at this time?
11:00
I mean, it is gross. It is gross.
11:02
Well, we haven't. Seen this one I know but I just
11:05
it's hand and letter in its basket case so it's gross.
11:07
Yeah, that's true. It's assumed.
11:09
Yeah. IMDb score is 5.4.
11:13
Wow OK, I feel like that has to be on par with the first one.
11:17
I think the first one's higher. I think it's in the sixes.
11:19
I think a lot of people that's like a become like a very cult
11:25
classic. I think it was game popularity
11:27
because of Oh Whose Line is it Anyways where they would do the
11:32
report. I was going to say there was a
11:34
weird crossover in our fandoms earlier this week when I was
11:38
scrolling through YouTube and somebody had put a compilation
11:40
together of Game Grumps and they put Aaron.
11:44
Yeah, I see. That that kind of reinforces my
11:48
thought that this is a more accessible cult horror movie
11:50
that people are aware of at this point.
11:53
So in the second one it. Would be like the second layer
11:57
in an iceberg of cult horror. Yeah, it would.
11:59
Yeah, Deep enough to like you, feel good about yourself for
12:03
knowing about it, but not too deep to worry you can be a snob,
12:06
be like, oh, I know a basket case.
12:08
It's that layer where somebody that's like familiar with the
12:11
deeper layers is like. Respect.
12:13
Respect, but come with me, my child.
12:15
Yes, we have such sites, such sites.
12:20
Jesus. Worked. 2nd movie is Gremlins 2.
12:28
Oh, OK. You could argue that there some
12:30
of them are angry and some of them are happy.
12:32
I mean, a lot of them are angry. I've never.
12:35
I've never seen gremlins. Two, I've never seen Gremlins 2.
12:38
I want to. I want.
12:39
To really badly want to watch it for a lot of reasons, but one of
12:42
my main favorite things about it is on Key and Peele.
12:45
And you know, you know that this was Jordan Peele, the horror
12:49
nerd that he is. Yeah.
12:51
Was like, we're gonna do a skit about the creative meeting for
12:54
gremlins too. Because this movie.
12:57
Is insane. And he's like, no, we're going
13:00
to throw everything out the window.
13:01
Just say the wildest thing in your mind right now.
13:04
And then like just like Hulk, Hogan's going to be in the
13:06
movie. He's going to break the 4th
13:07
wall. Like love it in the movie, just
13:09
like everything like that. At the end, when you think that
13:12
this is typical key and feel madness if you haven't seen the
13:14
movie, it's like. These were all actually.
13:17
In the movie. My favorite thing about this is
13:20
I recently listened to a podcast episode of Joe Dante actually
13:26
talking about his experience with this and he didn't, I don't
13:31
think he really wanted to do a second one, but they're like OK,
13:35
like let's just like make a fucking weird ass movie with a
13:39
is basically how they approached it.
13:41
What podcast was it per chance? Marc Maron's podcast, OK, yeah,
13:46
he has some really interesting episodes where he sits down with
13:49
directors. It was actually the same episode
13:51
that he was talking with John Carpenter.
13:53
OK. Yeah, so.
13:55
So just like a fun little episode for you, you got John
13:57
Carpenter and Joe Dante. That's why I hit a play.
14:00
Yeah. So Gremlins 2 released June
14:04
15th, 1990. Budget $50,000,000.50.
14:11
Million for Gremlins 2. Dude OK Gremlins one was a hit
14:16
that nobody saw coming. I.
14:18
Get that? It may.
14:19
Totally understand that. So they're like, fuck yeah, get
14:23
us another one we're going to throw everything at.
14:25
This is the opposite of the bum house logic.
14:29
Yeah. Which is to just OK, this was
14:31
successful, you get $500,000. More for the sequel.
14:36
They had the right idea to where they're like Joe Dante, go do
14:39
your thing. But Joe Dante was like, OK, but
14:42
I'm going to get weird with it this.
14:43
Time, but also fuck you, yeah. At the same.
14:46
Time and it. I think it's paid off and become
14:49
a cult classic. I think a lot of people
14:50
appreciate it for its. We need to watch this.
14:53
I definitely remember being excited to introduce you to the
14:56
first one. But yeah, it's a really, yeah,
14:58
we need to. It's really shocking.
15:01
We need to watch the second one together.
15:04
I would love to, yes. So yeah, budget was 50 million
15:07
worldwide gross 41 million. No, yeah, I'm also all the money
15:13
there. Not too happy with old Dante
15:15
with that one. IMDb though.
15:18
This. Which circle of hell is this
15:19
Dante in? Hey.
15:22
Not good. That was that was really good.
15:25
Thank. You, you just hurt me.
15:28
Yeah, no, that, that was really good.
15:30
I just sometimes I'm like, fuck, man, I I need to take you down
15:35
at that because I think you're gonna go, you're gonna leave me.
15:37
I'm gonna go so loud. So yeah, this actually shocked
15:42
me, but the IMDb for that is 6.4.
15:45
Wow. So like it's got a really good
15:48
review with the people. OK, so earlier when we were
15:51
recording to be we talked about maybe watching reality TV based
15:55
horror movies tonight. But I'm also thinking maybe mall
15:58
based movie marathon might be fun because we could watch like
16:01
this chopping mall. Dawn of the Dead.
16:05
Dawn of the Dead Wrong turn 4 or not wrong turn 4.
16:09
Final destination for I was. Going to say which wrong turn
16:12
took place in the. Mall.
16:13
I want that. Wrong turn 7 maybe?
16:16
Oh my God, the real wrong turn 7 the.
16:19
Wrong. Turn Oh, hey, hey, I've got some
16:23
I got I got something I want to say about wrong turn the remake.
16:26
You know, for a long time, listeners, you guys know how
16:29
we've shit on it. We have finally met in person
16:31
somebody local here that worked on that movie and we felt really
16:35
bad actually trashing it without knowing that he worked on it.
16:39
And I just want to say I'm sorry for those of you that have
16:42
worked on it. It has its merits, but it just
16:44
isn't what we wanted. It's a good.
16:47
Movie. It's a bad wrong turn.
16:50
Movie. That is how I and that's what
16:52
I've said since the beginning. I'm like, man, I would love this
16:54
movie if it wasn't called Wrong Turn, but I came in there.
16:58
I want a hooten and hollering. That's what we wanted and we
17:01
were way too excited to shit on it in front of this guy until
17:05
his friend was like, he actually worked on the movie.
17:09
He's a very nice guy. I'm.
17:10
Very. Sorry, he's super cool, yeah.
17:12
It wasn't it wasn't a personal attack, it was just a hey aren't
17:17
the wrong term movies stupid dumb fun.
17:19
What did this hoity toity nonsense think it was?
17:21
He, he, he got what I. Think.
17:24
Yeah, it was all good, OK. Cuz I do enjoy the movie itself
17:27
and at some point we will talk about it, no?
17:30
Unfortunately OK. So the final movie.
17:32
The problem is that you're gonna make me talk about wrong turn 6
17:35
before we can get to it. So.
17:36
We both get to be upset. Yes, yeah, it's true.
17:40
I'm gonna be upset with that one too.
17:41
I don't like Wrong Turn 6. Move on.
17:44
OK, move on. OK, move on.
17:45
Move on. Final movie from 1990, that is.
17:49
A little guy in the second movie, that is.
17:51
Very angry. Very angry V.
17:53
Small V Angry. And the most I guess in a
17:58
technical sense this counts because it is a 2, but this is
18:03
troll 2. I will accept this.
18:06
Because. I will always accept.
18:08
Troll two you can. Use whatever justification you
18:10
want to get troll 2 into a list and I will take it.
18:13
So yeah, Troll two is our next. Movie that is the only. 11 out
18:16
of 10 that has ever been on this show.
18:19
And it will. Forever be the only 11.
18:21
Out of 10. That is the movie that led to us
18:24
being married, and that's a true story.
18:26
You can go listen to her episode on it.
18:28
That's. How I got the girl yelling I
18:30
showed it to her. So that movie released October
18:34
3rd 1990. Budget of $100,000.
18:39
Worldwide gross of 1131 dollars. We are at least 500 of that.
18:46
No, we are not just. Kidding.
18:48
Well, I would we would be if we were alive in 1990.
18:52
IMDb 3 out of 10. Rude.
18:56
Rude dude. Rude dude.
19:00
Yeah, OK. All right.
19:02
Do we have tag lines? We go to.
19:05
Yeah, I don't have to pull up the list, but I did run out of
19:07
lines so I had to make my. Own lines here that makes up for
19:10
the to be disappointment. Yeah.
19:12
So this one will make the one that's on the poster will make
19:14
sense if you're looking at the poster.
19:16
And I think it makes sense because of the trailer slash
19:19
commercial like promo material that was coming out at the time.
19:23
But it is. Sorry, Jack, Chucky's back.
19:27
Who is Jack? Jack is Jack-in-the-box on the
19:30
cover. He has the scissors and he's
19:33
about to cut off Jack's head. I knew.
19:35
This tagline when you were before you read it, but I did
19:39
not make that connection until you said that.
19:41
Yeah. So in the, I think in the promo
19:43
material like Jack-in-the-box, like pops out-of-the-box, and
19:46
then Chucky comes up behind and cuts his head.
19:48
Off that makes. Sense, Yeah.
19:50
So next tagline, it's playtime again.
19:56
Good job fellas. That is, that has varied.
19:59
The night he came home again, energy.
20:01
Which is the whole. Reason we started doing tag
20:03
lines, yeah. It's true.
20:04
Yeah, not quite the same level, but it's it's close.
20:09
Next one this fall. Chucky rules.
20:14
That is solo effort I feel. Is it Trust this guys.
20:20
Chucky rules, trust me. All right, this one's wordy.
20:23
In 1988, he started us with. He startled us with a
20:28
frightening vision. Then he was destroyed and left
20:31
for dead. Now he's about to be reborn.
20:35
Too much. Yeah, too much.
20:37
And the final one, keep an eye out for it.
20:42
That works if you've seen the movie and you know there's a lot
20:45
of eye trauma. That's true, yeah.
20:47
There is a lot of eye shit that goes on in this, which I
20:49
fucking. Hate.
20:50
I hate eye trauma. It's so funny because
20:54
everybody's got like a thing that just makes them swarm with
20:57
movies. For me, it's eyes.
20:59
For you it's eyes. For my mom, it's teeth.
21:03
Teeth are upsetting, too. So that was always a thing with
21:06
Saw movies. I remember I want to say it was
21:08
Saw three specifically that had like the teeth hanging from the
21:11
wire and she was like. She needs to watch the dentist
21:15
movies. She.
21:17
I'll show it to her when she comes.
21:19
Watch out, Naomi. OK, so fun facts All right, so
21:25
the first one I had here, I thought that this was
21:27
interesting. We were watching some of the
21:29
Blu-ray special features and there was an interview with
21:31
Donna Mancini and he said the humor and style of this movie
21:35
was heavily influenced by return of the living dead because that
21:38
was a movie that they were obsessed with at the time when
21:41
they were making this movie. I.
21:43
Love that in that kind of I never would have made the
21:48
connection between them, but it also explains why I love them
21:52
both in such a way that like just I'm like, obviously I love
21:56
this movie. Like, I don't know how to
21:57
explain it to people, but I'm like, obviously I love this
21:59
movie. This.
22:00
Is the one where and they even said to themselves, Chucky
22:03
becomes fun, Chucky becomes the Chucky that we know and love.
22:06
Child's play one. It's a great movie, but Chucky
22:09
is very much a straight up slasher serial killer.
22:12
And it's, this is very eventually the killer being
22:15
aware that he's a killer, but in a doll and is taking advantage
22:18
of it. Same with, like, Return of the
22:20
Living Dead, where there's zombies and they know it and
22:22
they're like brains. Yeah.
22:23
Brains. Yeah, they have.
22:24
More cops they have fun with. It yes and him doing his whole
22:28
hi hi I'm. Tommy, I love that so much.
22:32
God, it's probably my second favorite line from the whole
22:35
franchise. Yeah.
22:36
So like, I mean, and this is the movie and that right there when
22:40
they use that as inspiration when writing this was how they
22:43
realized that they actually had a fun character on their hands.
22:46
So that's why we have the trucking that we have today
22:49
because of return of the living death.
22:50
That's. Amazing that to tie those two
22:53
things together that I love so much.
22:55
God. I know it's perfect.
22:56
Amazing. So they tried to get Tom Holland
23:00
back for this movie. Oh did they?
23:02
Tom Holland declined because he had conflicts with Kirchner.
23:07
OK, you know, the producer that has produced every single
23:09
Child's Play movie to this day. The movie was going to open in a
23:14
courtroom with Karen being sentenced to a mental
23:17
institution. Both Hicks and Sarandon, who
23:21
played Norris, would have returned and reprised the roles.
23:25
But last year, in 2023, Sarandon actually said that he declined
23:32
because Holland didn't return, so he didn't want to do the
23:35
role. Interesting.
23:36
But it's also been noted that they didn't do the scene because
23:40
they cut back due to budgetary concerns.
23:43
Yeah, because Catherine Hicks, she is on the set of this movie
23:49
most of the time. She is married to Kevin Yeager,
23:51
the special effects guy. Oh.
23:54
Shit, they met on Child's Play one so so she was there.
23:57
So Kevin Yeager's daughter I know has like done she did her.
24:01
What was it like book or something about being?
24:03
Yeah. Yeah, so that makes it even
24:05
more. She did a movie.
24:07
OK, I couldn't remember. It was a book, a documentary.
24:10
And I've done both but I know she for sure did the movies like
24:12
making Chucky or something like that.
24:13
Yeah, or living with Chucky. Living with Chucky.
24:15
Yeah. So that makes it even more, I
24:18
don't know, there's even more of a connection like.
24:20
Yeah, both her parents are heavily tied into the franchise.
24:23
Interesting. Yeah.
24:25
I feel like we need to watch that documentary.
24:26
I don't know. Yeah, for sure.
24:28
It kind of sucks for her though, especially since she was hanging
24:30
out on set but she doesn't get to be a part of the movie.
24:32
Like she totally. Could have done it.
24:34
She was right there. Well, and I was getting some
24:36
background information for the To Be movie and I remember like
24:40
kind of overheard, I wasn't fully listening, but overheard
24:43
Don Mancini talking about they did have all of these scenes
24:46
that were actually filmed that ended up having to be cut.
24:50
So I guess maybe it's kind of good that she didn't actually
24:54
get in hair and makeup and costume and character and yeah,
24:57
record all of that just to be completely cut from the movie.
25:01
In true child's Play fashion, as we will learn as we talk more
25:05
about these movies, this does in the becoming recycled material
25:08
later down the line in cursive Chucky.
25:11
And I, I love that. I love that they hold on to the,
25:15
this is kind of the opposite of what we talked about with Cruel
25:18
World, where they have a cool idea and they're just going to
25:20
jam it in, even if it doesn't make sense narratively.
25:23
I like that. It's same like with Child's Play
25:25
and with the Saw franchise where they have these ideas.
25:28
They can't make it work in the movie.
25:29
They're going to hold on to it and save it later for a future
25:32
movie. I like it too.
25:33
I think the thing that they use there is when they do it with
25:36
Nika because she goes to the facility in cursive.
25:39
Chuck yes, so also in this right here, it would have had Chucky.
25:45
Chucky is the. One where she's in the facility.
25:47
OK, well this said cursed Chucky where I got the source, so it
25:50
could have been mixed up, I don't know.
25:54
No, yeah, you're right. Cola Chucky is that one.
25:57
Cuz that's where we Yeah, you're right.
26:00
So. Spoiler.
26:01
I think it. I think you're right.
26:02
It should be cool to Chucky. Yeah.
26:04
All right. So.
26:05
I'll just beep that out. That way people don't know.
26:09
Only the people that know. The movie if they would have
26:12
done the scene it would have had Chucky being stored in an
26:14
evidence Walker and he would have been stored beside a Jason
26:17
hockey mask and a Michael Myers mask.
26:19
And they end up using that with the.
26:20
Gets. Recycle.
26:21
Yeah, that does get that does get paid off.
26:25
So yeah, again, another. We're starting to get that here
26:29
as early as Child's Play to recycled ideas later down the
26:31
line. So as you were talking, Joanne's
26:37
actor Jenny Agader, she had a horrible time on this set here.
26:43
She, I think, is used to being a bigger actor and having most of
26:48
her shit make the cut, but her character had a lot of cut
26:53
scenes and it made her not very happy.
26:57
She she wanted to be more of a major character and because of
27:02
all the things that happened, she ended up becoming a minor
27:04
character on the Blu-ray. There's like a whole thing of
27:08
diamonds and you're talking about how he had to go to her
27:10
trailer one day and tell her that they cut her scene and she
27:13
got really upset. And I loved his reaction to
27:15
that. He's like, ah, girl, that's
27:19
exactly what he says. Like not much I could do for
27:22
you. And I feel bad for him because
27:24
he said he was such a big fan of her previous work.
27:27
He was really excited to work with her on this.
27:29
And then she's and it's so openly shat on it.
27:32
She disowns this movie. And he wrote the scenes for her
27:34
too. It's not like he didn't want her
27:36
there. I like her.
27:37
Got overruled, yeah. And I I get it too from her part
27:41
because she is like doing really emotionally charged stuff.
27:44
I like her character and I like her as an actor, Yeah.
27:46
So I feel like she was really good in this.
27:49
So next, Alex Vincent, we'll talk about him a little bit.
27:53
He was really worried that he wouldn't be cute enough to be
27:56
Andy still in this movie. He.
27:58
Is still a cutie to this day, but he was absolutely adorable
28:01
in Child's Play too. Still.
28:02
But he. I'm.
28:04
Amazing. Because he was.
28:06
He was. He was eight in this movie, but
28:07
he was seven while they were filming and he brought such
28:11
maturity to the role. He is one of those rare child
28:15
actors that just fucking nails it.
28:17
He does a great job and I the. Fact that he was like, I'm not
28:21
as cute. Anymore, that is the thing I
28:23
don't. I get it when you're a 7 year
28:26
old going from five or six to seven.
28:30
Whoa. Yeah, but he looks.
28:32
Exactly over the hill. Yeah, he he looks exactly the
28:35
same. He doesn't sound quite as
28:37
childish, but he's, you know, he's so Andy.
28:40
I didn't. I wouldn't have questioned.
28:42
And he's wearing his little sweaters that look like Danny
28:44
from The Shining. And yeah, I felt bad for him.
28:47
He was talking all about his experience as a child actor
28:50
being, you know, a character in a famous horror series.
28:55
And, you know, he said a lot of kids don't really watch horror
28:58
movies, so he didn't get asked about that a lot.
28:59
But his dad was super proud of him and talked to people about
29:02
it. But.
29:03
His dad was so proud of. Him.
29:04
He hated it though. He hated having to talk about
29:06
it. He got sick of talking about
29:08
Chucky all the time. But now, oh, he's fully embraced
29:11
it. He's like, I appreciate that.
29:13
And this is, I tuned in. I stopped writing because I
29:15
wanted to pay attention to this. Or he was just like, you know,
29:17
this is a thing that means so much to people.
29:20
And I'm just so happy to be a part of something that has
29:23
brought so much joy and so much entertainment to so many people.
29:27
And I. Still a part of it to this.
29:28
Day he's going to be at Scarefest and we're very excited
29:31
to meet him and. He's in the show too, so you
29:34
know he's awesome. I love him as a character and as
29:37
a. Yes, yes.
29:38
And this will not be the last time we that Alex Vincent, so
29:41
don't you worry. Yes, yeah, he'll be in next
29:44
month. Shots play three, don't you
29:46
worry. No.
29:47
He's not in the second. He's not in the.
29:49
Third one, you're right. Fuck, I forgot about that.
29:51
Don't worry, he will come back in later iterations that.
29:54
Sounds like the end of like a Marvel movie.
29:56
Don't worry, Alex Vincent will. Return.
30:00
Dot dot dot. Yeah.
30:01
So there was a tie in novelization that was done in
30:05
this movie, and they added some additional details.
30:10
Most important was it gave some back story to Chucky.
30:14
So Chucky in the novelization, Father was absent, mother was an
30:21
abusive dwarf and he got teased a lot by people because of this.
30:28
So he got mad at her and he ended up strangling her and.
30:34
So I became the like sure strangler.
30:35
Yeah, that's how he started his whole strangling thing there.
30:39
OK. So that's that.
30:41
It also went a little bit into detail about Andy's back story
30:45
too, but not a lot of details on that right there.
30:49
And then they ended up also having something that ended up
30:53
being an idea that was used later on in one of the Child's
30:55
Play movies where Chucky wanted to use all of the good guy dolls
30:59
in the factory as an army to get him, but they didn't actually
31:06
make it happen. I'm sure.
31:07
Budget concerns. Were also.
31:09
But also, this is a novelization, so it wasn't even
31:11
in the script ritual so. But it wasn't an idea that got
31:14
used later down the line. So OK, that's it for the fun
31:18
facts. So I reckon it's time for us to
31:22
get into our good, bad, ugly and absurd, and it's time for you to
31:25
kick it off. Jesse, what do you like about
31:26
this? Well, first of all, Alex
31:28
Vincent's performance is fucking phenomenal.
31:31
The fact that he was actually seven years old and he was still
31:34
this adorable child. Alex, you were cute.
31:37
OK, get over it. You're adorable and also I
31:40
noticed some improvement in his acting.
31:43
Too He really like honestly, he matured so much and it.
31:49
In a way that like the character.
31:50
It makes sense that he would have matured that way.
31:52
But also like it kind of made my heartbreak for Alex Vincent cuz
31:56
I'm like, Oh my God, you had so much pressure.
31:58
He was the headliner for this movie.
31:59
Yeah, he starred and it Says starring Alex.
32:02
Vincent, yes, in the opening credits and he does such a good
32:05
job. His relationship, Andy's
32:07
relationship with Kyle is just the most heartwarming thing.
32:11
I love it cuz like she is very resistant to the whole thing
32:15
because she's been through so many foster families and it's
32:18
not just the foster parents, but it's the other kids in the house
32:22
and the fact that she's won over by him and then they, you know,
32:27
trauma bond the way they have to.
32:28
I walked in there first. Yes, you can tell her that she
32:31
doesn't like to attach get attached to people because she's
32:34
afraid of losing. Them like that impression, which
32:36
is very. Yeah, she wants to, like, pass
32:39
on her knowledge because whenever Andy starts to like,
32:43
she overhears and talking about him getting kicked out, she's
32:45
like, look, this is the advice that this is what I've learned.
32:48
I'm going to pass to you because this is what you got to know.
32:50
Man, yeah, it's kind of like a even if we aren't going to stay
32:53
together, I'm at least going to try and make sure that you can
32:55
survive this. System exactly.
32:58
I just, I just love their their whole situation.
33:01
I like that we see a foster family and it's not an inherent
33:06
abuse situation because I feel like a lot of time foster
33:08
families and horror movies are kind of like.
33:12
Yeah, they don't want the kid. They don't want the kid, They're
33:15
using them for money, they're abusive, whatever.
33:18
I like that this is a family. They just, they want children.
33:22
They want, they're fostering you.
33:24
Get a smidge of it with Phillip, who is a little bit an asshole.
33:27
He has some he he's right in some instances, but not
33:33
necessarily right in how he handles.
33:35
Yes, he's right to be like upset with certain things is.
33:38
A very complicated character. Yeah, I can.
33:41
Probably. Write a whole.
33:42
Thesis on Philip. Both of them, honestly, that
33:44
whole dynamic between the two of them is super complex and like
33:49
you just get hints at everything, but you can put the
33:52
full picture together pretty well with what they give you.
33:56
So I just, I, I really like that we have this kind of story told
34:00
in a way that you don't typically see in media, and I
34:04
really appreciate that with it. I just, I don't know.
34:09
I just, I think it's interesting the way they find different ways
34:12
to bring Chucky back. Yeah.
34:14
And I like that that's going to continue to be a thing.
34:17
No matter how fuck that begins, he makes it back.
34:19
Yes, and and the the humor with it.
34:24
It's not that he wasn't funny in the first one, it's that he
34:26
doesn't talk until most of the way through.
34:28
He has his moments in the first one, but I feel like they fully
34:33
embrace. It yes, because this one we
34:35
already know it's a killer inside of a doll so we can just
34:38
cut to the chase and have. Fun.
34:39
You don't have to have that whole build up.
34:41
And that's why, like, sequels are such a hit and miss because
34:44
sometimes it's like, OK, well, how do you top the first one?
34:46
But sometimes it's like, OK, well, now we've gotten this
34:48
bizarre premise out of the way, people are on board with it.
34:52
Yeah, now we can really explore it it and have some fun with it.
34:56
That too. Yeah, so I I really enjoy this
34:59
movie. Having a single rider on this
35:02
one probably helped it too. Yes, the first one had so many
35:06
rewrites and different ideas thrown in it, it's a miracle
35:11
that it was as good as it was. Honestly, yes.
35:12
Yes. OK, so that's that's your good.
35:16
OK, I agree with all that you said there.
35:20
I fucking love this movie. This is I think that this it's
35:25
so tough because this is such a strong franchise, but this is
35:29
God. This is a contender for my
35:31
favorite. Yeah, I was going to say when we
35:33
get to to the end of this and we're ranking them, I wouldn't
35:36
be surprised if this is my top. It's so good man, I love it.
35:40
But then again, I think I had to some of the ones we still have
35:43
to talk about. I'm like, no.
35:44
Way right of Chucky is coming up right of three even.
35:48
And I'm I am a staunch defender of seat of Chucky.
35:51
Seat of Chucky guy. Way too much hate back in.
35:55
The way too much hate it still gets, way too much I hate.
35:57
It's an amazing movie. We'll talk about that in a few
36:00
days anyway. Child's way, too.
36:02
Child's way too is fucking amazing and I don't think it
36:04
gets talked about enough. No.
36:06
It doesn't. Good or bad, it just doesn't get
36:08
talked about enough. Yeah, it's I think it's one of
36:11
the strongest follow-ups to a slasher to a horror movie that
36:15
we have out there. Yes.
36:17
I love how they leaned into the fucking character of Chucky the
36:21
way that they did. I love how Chucky, they did such
36:27
a good job making him more animated this time around.
36:30
I feel like they focused more on his facial expressions.
36:33
Yes, and I again, Brad Dourif actually recorded his lines
36:38
beforehand, but they made note that they actually focus harder
36:42
on getting his facial reactions to sync up a little bit better.
36:46
OK, so we get like a more authentic like delivery from
36:51
Chucky the doll this time around.
36:54
I like it. It made a big difference for me
36:56
because I like it. I like when he's like angry and
36:59
he's actually like you get to see, you get to see the emotion
37:01
in the dolls face, which is fucking tough to do with this.
37:05
Yeah, I feel like in the first one it was either like doll,
37:07
like Toy Story, humans Cumming face, or it was angry.
37:12
We didn't really get a lot of in between it and this one.
37:14
We get to see him reacting to stuff.
37:16
I think the first one you get the face and it's preset so you
37:21
don't get to see the shifting emotions in the face and I feel
37:25
like they did a better job with that.
37:27
And this one right here. I also feel like the deaths in
37:31
this movie were fucking phenomenal.
37:33
They did such a good job here. And the way that the deaths are
37:37
done in this, it's extra satisfying.
37:40
And because I feel like every death is just vindicating Andy
37:43
even more because every single time he's trying to tell people,
37:47
excuse me, that Chucky is alive and he's so tired of the
37:52
bullshit of people already not believing him because he's used
37:55
to it from the first movie. Yeah.
37:56
It's like you guys are going to fucking know.
37:58
You guys will find out soon enough.
37:59
And then whenever it happens, you feel good about.
38:03
It it's like that scene where he's talking to the psychiatrist
38:06
at the foster home in the very beginning, the foster center.
38:09
Yeah. And he's like, do you wanna talk
38:11
about these nightmares? And he goes no.
38:14
Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it cuz you're just gonna tell me
38:16
I'm wrong. Yeah.
38:18
I'm not. I'm not willing to sit here and
38:19
be gasoline. I know what happened.
38:21
I know why you guys don't believe it.
38:22
So no, we're just not going to talk about it.
38:24
I do question though, we had Norris, we had Catherine's
38:31
character. What was her name in the movie?
38:33
Karen. Karen.
38:34
And we had the other. Yeah, the other guy, the
38:37
partner. So it would have been nice.
38:39
Like I get, OK. So at the beginning, they talk
38:42
about the, you know, his story swept the nation.
38:47
They ended up writing it off as, like, maybe a worker got in
38:50
there and rerecorded stuff and everybody is willing to just be
38:52
like, whatever, it's a kid. But then the mom defends him.
38:55
But what happened to. Yeah, what happened to Norris?
38:57
And what happened to Norris partner?
38:59
Yeah, three adults. She gets thrown into the mental
39:01
institution. Do the other two.
39:04
Yeah, Norris. Goes back to his.
39:06
Wife that we made-up in the first one and the other guy was
39:09
probably just like. He just quietly resigned and
39:12
moved away. I.
39:13
Don't know why I still always associate him with spookies.
39:16
So I wonder if you just wander on over into spookies?
39:19
It's a. Very confusing movie, very
39:21
amazing. Almost as confusing as a.
39:25
Cruel. World.
39:27
So yeah, that's my good. Aside from the things that you
39:29
had mentioned so bad, what do you think is bad about this?
39:34
I think once we get to the action, it's very speed up.
39:37
It feels like things happen really, really fast.
39:40
And I don't necessarily mean that in a bad as in like they
39:44
didn't want to build the world, but just a bad that like I want
39:47
to live in this world some, you know what I mean?
39:49
Cuz I'm very attached to Andy as a character.
39:51
I've become very attached to like his foster home situation
39:55
and just things just start happening so fast that it feels
39:59
like we're thrust into it. Yeah, I.
40:02
Think you're right. Yeah.
40:04
And again, it's this is a very minor nitpick of it because this
40:08
is an excellent movie. And we we already know Andy as a
40:12
character. We get him and we get a decent
40:14
introduction to Joanne and Phil. We get a very good introduction
40:18
to Kyle. But yeah, things just happen so,
40:22
so fast. I can see that.
40:25
The only bad that I could probably think of for this movie
40:28
is I love the ending. I love the setting of it, being
40:31
in a factory, making all of these good guy dolls.
40:35
It's great, but I hate how many false innings that we get.
40:39
Oh, that's a good point. Because we get Chucky died and
40:42
Oh no, he's not dead yet. You know it happens like at
40:44
least three times. We could have had some more
40:46
world building if we didn't have him fake die so many times.
40:50
That's a good point, and actually swapped some of that
40:52
out and. To the credit of that, this is
40:55
the shortest Child's Play movie out of all of them.
40:58
Really. Mm, hmm.
41:00
It's barely, barely. It's like 80 some minutes.
41:05
Wow. Yeah.
41:07
So it's not very long. So yeah, I mean, we could have
41:10
not had him dying and coming back three times in a row.
41:15
It just kind of loses its effects if you keep doing it.
41:19
Yeah, but other than, I mean, it's so fun.
41:21
I like it, but you know, scale it back A.
41:23
Little bit, yeah, no. And I definitely, that's the
41:25
thing I talked about when we were talking about Nightmare on
41:27
Elm Street, was there's only so many times you can be like, but
41:30
it's a dream. Yeah, exactly.
41:31
Yeah, it's just, it was this effect eventually.
41:34
Yeah. OK, ugly.
41:37
I guess The Simpsons like, and this is a complex thing, like
41:44
wanting to have a family of your own is a very complex thing.
41:47
The foster system and adoption is a very complex thing.
41:50
There's a lot of arguments to be made, and we're not going to
41:52
have the space and time and capacity to talk about this with
41:55
the nuance it deserves on the show.
41:59
But the way Phil just seems like he's going through the motions
42:03
with this to get Joanne a child because that's what she wants,
42:06
it feels very icky to me. I thought you were talking about
42:09
The Simpsons, the TV show I was. Like why are you so?
42:13
Shocks. We literally touched on this.
42:15
Yeah, on The Simpsons. Hold on.
42:19
But first, Phil, I'm like, wait, where is this going?
42:23
OK, yeah, I get. Yeah, that's true.
42:26
And that's my ugly, too. I like, it's very complex.
42:30
Yeah, you're right. But I hate how he's so quick to
42:34
just discard Andy right throughout the gate.
42:38
Agreed to Foster and you agreed to adopt.
42:41
It should come with an understanding that you are going
42:44
to be treating complex emotional situations.
42:48
Always. It felt like in the scene when
42:52
they end up getting Andy, he settles for him.
42:56
And I think he does it because he knows that Joanne really
43:01
wants a kid and he wants one too.
43:03
But he doesn't, you know? I think he's just like, well
43:06
fuck, let's just do it. Because you're supposed to have
43:09
a child. Yeah.
43:10
Where she like actually she makes a connection with these.
43:13
She makes an effort. Yeah.
43:15
He doesn't. He doesn't make an effort.
43:16
He's just tries to like Johnny Law, trying to just.
43:19
He's the. Dad that agrees to get the cat
43:23
and he like sometimes you see him snuggling with the cat, but
43:25
most of the time he complaints about the cat.
43:27
That's kind of how he is. Except these are fucking humans.
43:29
He's, you know. He's the relative that you go
43:33
over to their house and they're like really mean and strict
43:36
about the rule is like, fuck, I hate going to your house.
43:38
Yeah, he's the one with the plastic on the couch.
43:40
Yeah, exactly. I hate it.
43:42
The first thing that happens when Andy goes over there, he's
43:44
like, don't touch that statue. That's a very important statue.
43:48
And he's like, I was just. You're.
43:50
You're taking in foster children, why do you have it at
43:52
the height that an 8 year old can easily grab?
43:54
Yeah, don't be so stupid. Like.
43:56
We. Know when our when our nieces
43:59
and nephews come over like our house.
44:01
Is not. Childproof, but we do get stuff
44:04
that's at eye level for the most part that we and anything we
44:08
don't, we agree that like we accept the fault if it gets
44:11
broken. Yeah, yeah.
44:13
Like. Yeah, OK, absurd.
44:17
Oh, the. House.
44:19
The house. The yeah, remember I wrote in my
44:21
notes that it's a gender reveal party nightmare because it's all
44:25
just pink and blue and it's terrible and is ugly and I hate
44:27
it. It's.
44:28
Terrible. Oh man, yeah, the house is a
44:30
really weird way out. It looks like a the oldest
44:33
person you know live there and decorated the shit out of it.
44:37
And it honestly, it kind of feels like she did the pink and
44:40
blue because they're taking in these foster children.
44:42
Girl we know. They're like, we don't know
44:45
everybody. Later when she says that, Andy,
44:48
I made these curtains just for you, bitch.
44:50
No, you didn't. You got called down to the
44:52
center. You didn't know that you were
44:53
going to be walking away with a foster child at that moment went
44:56
like, did you sew up those curtains real fast when you're
44:59
like, oh, maybe there's a child we're going to bring home?
45:01
You didn't. You're a liar.
45:03
That is funny. Yeah.
45:05
OK, my my absurd is Andy goes to school first day of school, got
45:14
to make a good impression with the kids there.
45:16
Recess, best time of day. Andy goes over there, grabs a
45:20
ball, runs over to a fence and starts just bouncing off the
45:22
fence back and forth to himself over and over again.
45:25
And it's a. Chain link so.
45:27
It barely bounces and the whole chain is rattling.
45:30
I think he may be he has. Like an inch of separation
45:34
between him and the fence and he's just just like bouncing it
45:38
back and forth. And it's just like, kid, you're
45:40
not. I feel like he's trying to like,
45:41
look cool and natural. Like, hey, play cool, man.
45:45
Like, you know, you don't want anybody to think that you're
45:47
silently freaking out over here. He's like the the new loner in
45:51
prison. It's like trying to be like I'm
45:52
going to keep to myself, but also I'm tough.
45:54
Yeah, here's the ball. I'm just going to bounce on you.
45:56
See how fast I'm doing this shit over here?
45:58
You. Don't want fun with.
45:58
This shit. What does this mean?
46:03
My final absurds. Full blown closet.
46:08
What full blown closet? Help me figure this out.
46:13
Is it when the closet because there's just so many fucking
46:16
toys in? There, No, it's not that.
46:20
Oh, oh, it's in the school when there's like a whole fucking
46:26
closet in the the school, the classroom she goes in and
46:31
there's jackets, there's fucking outfits.
46:32
There's a whole wardrobe in there.
46:38
We watched this movie 3 days ago.
46:40
Yeah, the. Heart notes don't.
46:43
I didn't I think I got I got distracted because I love that
46:45
scene coming up. So I just wrote full blown
46:47
closet and I didn't finish it. But yeah, that's it.
46:50
It was weird. I was like, why the fuck does
46:52
she have this much shit in the classroom closet?
46:55
OK, all right, let's rate it. We know what this is.
46:58
It's. A10 man, this is a.
47:00
Fucking 10 this movie rules. It's amazing.
47:02
It is such a solid follow up and listen, sequels, I think we've
47:07
all kind of realized that you just got to accept what you get
47:10
and you either like it or you don't.
47:11
But this is a. Really.
47:12
Strong. Yeah, for sure.
47:14
This one I I mean it. It one UPS the original all the
47:17
way. Yeah, honestly, if I had to pick
47:19
between 1:00 and 2:00, as much as I love one and as great as I
47:23
think it is, I have so much more fun watching this one.
47:25
Yeah, two is fucking. Like the first one is amazing.
47:28
Yeah, it is. Yeah.
47:29
Like as a straight up horror movie it.
47:31
But this one knows who Chucky is and knows who Andy is.
47:34
It knows what world it lives in. It establishes the world and
47:38
characters that we come to love. Yeah, in this series.
47:41
And I am just going to preface this, I didn't say any of this
47:43
during our good, bad, ugly and absurd, but when we get to the
47:46
warehouse scene, just be prepared for me to get
47:48
frustrated because I've worked in a factory and Travis was
47:50
listening to me yell at the screen at one point I was just
47:52
going. Lookout tag out, lookout tag
47:54
out, lookout tag out you. Think these kids are going to
47:56
know about that shit? Oh wait, no, this is a full
47:59
blown workers are doing that shit.
48:00
That's right, I forgot about that.
48:01
I thought you've had people listening to the show and I was
48:03
like, well, my mom's not our kid.
48:04
She knows what I mean by lockout tag.
48:06
Out. Yeah.
48:07
I was thinking of like the end when they go to there and
48:10
they're running through the maze.
48:12
OK. No, I'm talking about the worker
48:14
that doesn't do a fucking lockout tag out.
48:16
I got you. Shame.
48:18
OK, we're ready. Yes.
48:20
All right, let's do this, OK? So we start off seeing he
48:24
Cronenberg as good guy BLOB and the factory plans to reduce
48:29
three is and recycle. I got a list as crispy Chucky.
48:33
Okay, I guess that's true. Cronenberg Chucky is more
48:35
towards the end. Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, more
48:38
shunted. Yes, yes.
48:39
Yes. Either way, we we see them
48:43
rebuilding him, they can make him stronger.
48:45
They have the. Technology.
48:46
The technology involves holding a stencil up to its face and
48:50
it's like moving slightly as they're airbrushing.
48:52
And I was like, oh, is this why dolls are sometimes a little
48:54
wonky eyed? And then the guy was like, we
48:57
don't normally do this by hand. And I was like, oh, why do you
48:59
have a stencil ready? Then I had so many questions
49:02
from this right off the bat, I'm just.
49:04
Wondering why they are trying to restore it.
49:07
Like, I mean, I know that they want to understand why it was
49:10
the way it was, but like just fucking.
49:12
Yeah. Why did they need to put it back
49:13
together, get rid of it? Yeah.
49:16
But yeah, So the whole country has heard Andy's story.
49:19
But, you know, because he's a kid, they didn't believe it too
49:22
much. But then the mom backed him up.
49:24
So now she's in an institution. He's in foster care.
49:27
The rumor is that an employee messed with the recordings, but
49:30
the quality control report shows that that wasn't true.
49:33
And they're going to put the doll back together to prove that
49:35
it's a OK, but then when they go to put the eyes in, one of the
49:39
text gets electrocuted with the lightning from Chopping Mall.
49:43
I love how this just results in him getting heeded through a
49:46
window. And then the top exec is like
49:49
deal with this. Mr. Sullivan, I love Mr.
49:52
Sullivan because he's a fucking asshole.
49:54
He just walks. He, like his assistant, is
49:57
catching him up, getting him up to speed, and then he sees that
50:00
and then after the fact he's walking out.
50:03
He tells him to put Chucky up his.
50:04
Ass. Yeah, I like that.
50:05
He's like, what do you want me to do with the Dolster?
50:07
He's like shove it up your ass. Like just the way that he says
50:11
it, shove it up your ass. It's.
50:12
OK, Mr. Sullivan will get his and three and three.
50:15
Yeah, I I love that. Yeah, I'm looking forward to.
50:18
That yeah, he's not a sympathetic character and he
50:20
doesn't seem at all portrayed by the fact that one of his workers
50:23
just died. No, he's more concerned about
50:25
whether or not he's going to shove it up his ass.
50:28
So. So we see Andy.
50:30
Yes, he's in a therapy session. Yes.
50:34
And he's playing like a little card game with his therapist.
50:38
And let me tell you, so on the tube here not to be episode, we
50:43
talked about how in Tennessee they took children on field
50:45
trips to fire departments. What are we getting here?
50:49
In Tennessee, they also give children of divorced parents
50:54
therapy in school and they're there was a board game I had to
51:01
play. It was nowhere near as slick as
51:03
this or they're just playing go fish and casually talking.
51:06
But this board game was like you roll the dice and you do do do
51:12
I'm on purple and the purple questions like your dad has
51:16
married a new woman who has a 7 year old daughter and she wants
51:20
to share your toys, but you don't want to share your toys.
51:23
Wow. Sitting there going.
51:26
What is that? Did they design a full blown
51:29
board game for divorced kids? This exists.
51:34
I don't know if it still does. But I remember even back then, I
51:39
was close to Andy's age at the time and I was like, this is
51:42
stupid. Like if you want to ask me how I
51:45
feel about this is just ask me. But like fucking why are we
51:48
playing this game? I thought that you were just
51:51
gonna tell us like, hey, we did a school field trip to a
51:54
therapist, and he's like, hey, this is the attack of questions.
51:59
No. I was in a little side.
52:02
Office in the school that like an unlabeled office that way
52:06
like the other kids didn't know you were troubled oh man, I'm.
52:09
Glad that we can kind of laugh about this, but that's.
52:12
Dark. Oh, I've been laughing at my
52:13
trauma for years. That's fine.
52:14
OK, good. I'm glad that you know, it's
52:16
it's we're there with this. Fucked up.
52:20
But yeah, Andy is very much how I was.
52:23
And he was like, OK, I see what you're doing.
52:25
We'll just, we'll we'll do this. It's fine.
52:26
Yeah. He's like, I just.
52:27
I'm not gonna talk about this. You're just gonna tell me.
52:30
I'm making sure. Yeah.
52:31
And that's what the guy's saying.
52:32
He's like, oh, it must have been a scary dream, huh?
52:35
And I like in the cutscene he was like, the other kids will
52:38
make fun of me again if they know I've had nightmares.
52:40
So I'm like, oh poor baby I. Oh, Andy.
52:45
So yeah, foster parents are discussing whether or not they
52:50
should take it. Oh.
52:51
Yeah, and they're just watching this full therapy session.
52:53
Yeah, by the way. Yeah.
52:54
That is. Why?
52:55
That's super invasive. Right.
52:57
Yeah. Who who signed the release forms
52:59
for this? We know he doesn't have a legal.
53:01
Guardian at this point. Yeah, yeah, like.
53:04
Who's that? They are the legal.
53:05
Guardians. Yeah, just.
53:06
The foster home. That's just fucked up.
53:09
Yeah, they tell them Andy. I mean, they know Andy, but they
53:12
tell them the story of Andy and what all happened.
53:16
And yeah, they take Andy and they're like, OK.
53:19
That's yeah, Phil. Phil is not sure, but Joanne is
53:21
really into it, so Phil's like I.
53:23
Guess if you really. Want this one world are.
53:26
Coming. Yeah, I suppose, if it'll make
53:28
you happy. It's like you agreeing to watch
53:31
like Hostel part three. Like it's the same kind of
53:34
energy, like, OK, I guess. I guess I hope he doesn't.
53:38
I have the same morbid curiosity I have with hostile part three.
53:42
We'll see how fucked up this goes.
53:43
And. Then I'm.
53:44
Sick of it? So they're in the car and
53:46
they're talking to Andy, and this is an important scene
53:49
because it's just such a little moment that I thought was so
53:51
sweet and so important later. But Joanne asks Andy what his
53:55
favorite foods are and he says chocolate.
53:57
And I kind of laugh because. He's.
53:59
Eight. Yeah, that makes sense.
54:00
It's like when you ask an 8 year old what's your favorite class
54:03
and it's called recess. Yeah, yeah.
54:06
And he says chocolate. And they're like, OK, but what
54:09
else? And he goes, well, my mom used
54:10
to make me eggs in the morning. I know, it's so sad.
54:14
He's like, oh, I used to make my own breakfast, you know?
54:16
It's like I used to spill orange juice and milk.
54:19
Over. The cow and drop a tub of
54:21
country croc on burnt. I like a bold brick of cereal,
54:24
but you get a lot of orange juice mixed in there and then a
54:27
big old glob of butter on top. That's my jam.
54:31
The thing is that milk would curdle because of the acid in
54:34
the orange juice mixing with the milk itself.
54:36
That's how you make buttermilk. That's how I laugh it.
54:38
Anyway. It he they just make a note
54:43
about the eggs and it's important.
54:44
That is sweet. And then they almost And then
54:46
Phil, well, yeah, I said Phil almost crashes into a
54:50
foreshadowing semi truck. Oh yeah, boy, man, Can you
54:54
imagine being traumatized by one of the biggest things in the
54:58
nation like that? You just have this fucking good
55:01
guy doll all up in your face all the time.
55:04
All the time, man. It's gotta suck, Yeah.
55:07
So yeah, they make it to the house and Amy's checking out the
55:13
home. He's not allowed to touch
55:15
anything, but he does ask about the heirloom that he's not
55:18
allowed to touch. And she's like, Oh, well, it's
55:20
my great grandma's. And she gave it to my grandma,
55:22
who gave it to my mom, who gave it to me.
55:24
And because he's 8 and he doesn't understand social
55:27
nuance, he said, who are you gonna give it to?
55:29
And the heart. God, she's such a good fucking
55:31
actress. The heartbreak and the
55:33
uncomfortableness she's feeling in that moment.
55:35
Nobody says anything, it's just silence.
55:37
Yeah, yeah, cuz he doesn't know that.
55:39
He asks such a gut punch of a question.
55:43
Yeah, I like, but that's smart writing right there.
55:47
Yeah, we we get to understand these two characters through
55:52
Andy questioning about that, and that was really well done.
55:56
Yes, it was. It was remarkably well done.
55:58
Again, like I said, this is such a nuanced thing with them.
56:02
Yeah, but it is really well written.
56:04
Yeah, super well written. So Andy goes upstairs.
56:08
Joanne just said go find your room, kid.
56:10
Yeah, just pick a room. So he does, and it's Kyle's
56:14
room. Kyle's just in there being a
56:16
badass like she is. Yeah, she's like.
56:18
Smoking in her little leather hat.
56:20
And yeah, Joanne comes out finally and she's like, Kyle,
56:23
you still have an unpacked, you've been here 3 weeks.
56:25
She goes. I've never made it longer than a
56:26
month anywhere. And it's still going to be true.
56:30
Oh, yeah. And she's Joanne says, you know,
56:34
dinner soon, Please come downstairs.
56:37
And Kyle's like, I've got to work.
56:38
I'm going to be 18 soon, then I'll be on my own.
56:40
Kyle is just one gut punch after another.
56:43
And she's so matter of fact about all of this.
56:45
I feel like she did have a sense of feeling like she was at home
56:51
for a second year, though, because Joanne's like, well, you
56:54
live in this house and you live in these rules, so we would like
56:57
for you to be a there for dinner tonight.
56:59
And then she closes the door. And then I, I feel like the
57:02
actor kind of played like a little like slight smirk like,
57:04
OK, cool. That was nice to like, have, you
57:06
know? Yeah, family, wife.
57:08
Right here, yeah. Alright, don't ground me.
57:12
So this is when Joanne takes Andy to his room that has
57:16
clearly been lived in plenty of times and says, I made these
57:19
curtains for you. I bet blue is your favorite
57:20
color. You were just saying that cuz
57:22
he's a boy. Yeah, I.
57:23
Bet that's that was not my favorite color.
57:26
No, I've told this story on the show before, I think, But I
57:30
remember in like it was second grade, I had a blue lunch box
57:35
and I got made fun of because that was a boy of color.
57:37
And there's a little boy in my class who had a pink lunch box.
57:39
It was the exact same lunch box as mine, just pink.
57:42
And everybody celebrating them. No, nobody said anything.
57:44
They probably made fun of. Them too.
57:46
No, they never said shit to him. I.
57:47
Guarantee you they did, you just weren't there.
57:50
Trust me as a boy that like wore a cotton candy colored shirt in
57:55
school I got made fun of for. I can picture that shirt.
57:58
Perfect. I know the shirt.
57:59
From the shirt, yeah. If you guys have followed our
58:02
social media, you may have seen that.
58:04
So he starts checking out the room.
58:07
Yeah, she's like, there's so many toys in the closet and he
58:10
opens it up and a good guy dull just dumbles from the top shelf.
58:13
Yeah, but don't worry, it's not Chucky.
58:15
It's Tommy. Yeah, it's Tommy.
58:16
Yeah. And he wants to play.
58:18
Yeah, so we see the toy. I called him the Toy Veep.
58:23
I don't know if he's actually a vice president.
58:25
I feel like he's lower level. Assistant.
58:27
He's definitely assistant, He's important, but he's not upper
58:30
level. Like he's important enough that
58:32
he talks directly to the executive guy.
58:35
He's putting in his his time. Yeah, he's going to get a big
58:40
boy job, but right now he's an assistant.
58:42
I think so, yeah. He's walking now.
58:44
He's got Chucky with him. He can't fit Chucky in the trunk
58:47
of the car cuz that's a big ass stall.
58:49
So he's like, all right. Fuck out of it.
58:50
Chuck is chunky. He is chunky, Yeah, he's been
58:52
eating a little bit, so he puts him in the back seat.
58:55
And he's got a car phone cuz it's 1990 and that's how you
58:59
know, he's not completely lower level.
59:02
He's got a fancy enough car to have a car phone well.
59:04
This movie did release on the Internet, so that's true.
59:07
Al Gore probably gave him that car phone personally.
59:11
He wrote this scene probably, Yeah, he probably was trying.
59:13
To he funded it. Yeah.
59:14
Directly producer, Silent producer.
59:19
Al Gore. So he you guys.
59:22
If you can, please just. Spread the rumor online that Al
59:25
Gore invented the in addition to inventing the Internet that Al
59:28
Gore also produced. Child's play to you.
59:31
That would be amazing. Thank you.
59:33
So he calls Gabriella and he said yes, of course I've got the
59:38
vodka to celebrate our two week anniversary.
59:41
Here's the thing, high maintenance to celebrate a two
59:45
week anniversary, but she wants vodka.
59:46
I feel like you could probably get her like some brunettes or
59:48
Heaven's Soul and it's fine. You want to know what's real
59:50
dirty? What?
59:52
I think I might be misremembering this, or I think
59:55
I might be remembering it exactly correctly.
59:58
So you're either misremembering it or remembering it.
1:00:00
So one or the other got it. That's a great way for you to
1:00:04
just like set yourself up to talk on your ass and have no
1:00:08
repercussions. But we watched the extended TV
1:00:12
cuts for this right here and. There's with sci-fi Syfy in the
1:00:16
corner. Sci-fi.
1:00:17
So on sci-fi, if you were to watch this, there is an extended
1:00:21
version of the scene where he after he gets the liquor, he
1:00:23
uses said car phone to call his wife.
1:00:28
He's like, don't worry honey, I'll be home in a little bit.
1:00:31
He's cheating. With this on his wife and on
1:00:35
Gabriella. No, Gabriella is the one that
1:00:38
he's cheating with, I guess. Yeah.
1:00:40
Gabrielle. Maybe Gabrielle knows Gabrielle.
1:00:44
Yeah, Gabrielle and mine know. But she might not know.
1:00:48
I don't know. He's a she's planning.
1:00:49
To celebrate an anniversary, I don't know, a two week
1:00:52
anniversary, It's hard to say. Damn, you've been cheating for
1:00:54
two weeks. Hell yeah, brother.
1:00:55
Come over here. Give me the vodka.
1:00:57
Kept the secret of it two weeks. Yeah, you get the. $7.00 bottle
1:01:01
of vine. Yeah, the good can.
1:01:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy's a scumbag, so.
1:01:06
Yeah, so that's why it's not all that sad.
1:01:09
And here's The thing is that it's not all that sad because he
1:01:11
goes into the liquor store and the guy's like cash only and he
1:01:14
goes. This is a gold.
1:01:15
Card it's good as cash. OK, you know what, I kind of
1:01:18
agree with your boss. Shove it up your ass.
1:01:20
Like shove it up your ass. Shove it up your ass.
1:01:23
Shove it up your ass, Limp Bizkit.
1:01:27
I don't remember that song. I did it all for the Nike.
1:01:29
No. Is it the same?
1:01:30
Song so you can take that cookie and stick it up your.
1:01:33
Ass stick it up your. Ass OK Oh yeah, girl in biscuit
1:01:36
always pulling. Through for us, always.
1:01:38
Fred Durst. Fred Durst is the one we can all
1:01:40
rely on whether or not we want to.
1:01:42
Yeah, he may have also produced this movie.
1:01:45
I may be speaking on my acid. May not be.
1:01:47
But you might be misremembering, or you might be remembering.
1:01:49
There we go. One or the other?
1:01:51
Yep. So he gets said vodka, gets back
1:01:55
in this car, starts to drive off and he gets a old Billy bag
1:01:59
about Chucky. And Chucky in this time that the
1:02:03
guy has made the point to go get his cash and whatnot as his car
1:02:07
is parked on the fucking St. This is not a wide enough lane
1:02:10
for street parking. He Chucky has used the car phone
1:02:14
to call the foster center to ask where Andy is and they asked for
1:02:22
no proof of. His I was going to say like how,
1:02:25
how are you going to give away a kids information?
1:02:28
Like, there is no fucking way. Especially because they're
1:02:31
foster kids, a lot of them are coming from like violent home
1:02:35
situations. Why would you?
1:02:37
Not only that, but he's also famous for this situation.
1:02:41
People know about this kid. It's that's super dangerous that
1:02:45
they did that. So yeah, he knows where that's
1:02:48
at. So yeah, he's got this guy.
1:02:49
He's got him. He car Jackson.
1:02:51
He car Jackson. Yeah, makes him drive to a park
1:02:54
in park in the parking lot, and then he shoots him and it's a
1:02:57
water gun and the guy's like, Oh my God.
1:03:02
And then Chucky takes a dry cleaning black bag and yeah,
1:03:05
yeah, what is a Billy bag? I feel like you ask us every
1:03:09
single time and it's a thing that originated.
1:03:11
On the show. Literally never heard you say
1:03:13
that. No, you Billy bag like Billy
1:03:16
bag. From SAW.
1:03:17
No, no, from Black Christmas. He takes the cellophane bag and
1:03:22
he's. Billy.
1:03:22
Too. OK.
1:03:24
Yeah, he is Billy. Yeah, he is the Billy Billy
1:03:28
bagged. I get it.
1:03:29
Yeah, I was thinking like a Billy club.
1:03:32
I thought it was maybe related. Every time on this show that
1:03:35
Billy bagging comes up I have to explain it and I'm getting tired
1:03:38
of it. I feel like you need to
1:03:39
understand this shit at this point.
1:03:42
Well Travis, I think you need to remember that the book The
1:03:44
Rainbow Fish fucking exists, and I don't need to explain that
1:03:47
every time I mention it as well. I don't know what you're talking
1:03:50
about, God. OK so Joanne is reading to Andy
1:03:54
while Chucky moves or kills Tommy and buries him outside.
1:04:00
I wrote mercs and I thought it's it moves for a second.
1:04:03
Oh yeah, I like how he just straight up like destroys this
1:04:06
doll. And all of his.
1:04:08
Anger at being in a doll's body he can direct to another doll
1:04:13
and I feel like it's therapeutic for him in a way.
1:04:15
God damn though, I love how this is shot.
1:04:17
I love it's the doll. Looks so fantastic out there.
1:04:21
Digging the hole and then burying him in the ground
1:04:24
underneath the swing set. And it's important to note that
1:04:26
when he Tommy, he used the heirloom statue, the precious.
1:04:31
Yeah, bullshit. The one that Andy got scolded at
1:04:33
like observing earlier. Yeah.
1:04:35
And so the next morning when Andy and Kyle wake up, Phil asks
1:04:39
who broke this? Because it was very important to
1:04:41
Joanne. And Kyle was like, I was at
1:04:43
work. And Andy was like.
1:04:44
I would. I didn't do it.
1:04:46
Chucky did. It and feels like.
1:04:47
Bullshit. You guys are both grounded.
1:04:49
I don't think he's blaming Chucky.
1:04:50
No, no, that was a call back to our last Child's Play episode
1:04:53
where he's like. Chucky did it, yeah.
1:04:55
Poor little Andy. And Kyle is mad later because
1:05:00
she can't go. It was her one night off.
1:05:02
She was supposed to go on a date, but they're grounded so
1:05:04
she can't go and she's stuck there doing laundry.
1:05:07
But nobody can say mad at Andy. I love the scene.
1:05:10
He's like, hey, I bet I can say your name backwards.
1:05:12
And then he just turns around like Kyle.
1:05:15
And she's like. So adorable.
1:05:17
See her like, she's like. God damn it, I.
1:05:19
Can't be mad at this fucking. That's the moment that won her
1:05:22
over. It's also funny that she's like
1:05:24
here hold this and hand him a cigarette and he just takes a
1:05:26
puff at. And she's like, you can't do
1:05:29
that. He goes, well, I just wanted to
1:05:30
taste it. Why do you want to do it if it's
1:05:31
so bad? And she goes, well, I'm a grown
1:05:32
up and grown-ups are allowed to do things that are bad for them.
1:05:35
God, she's learned some bad lessons over the years.
1:05:38
But also that's accurate. To to Andy's credit though, I
1:05:41
feel like he's like a seasoned kid at this point.
1:05:44
I keep smoking a cigarette, seen some shit.
1:05:46
Yeah. Fucking doll tried to kill me
1:05:48
last year. My mom's got taken away from me.
1:05:52
Less. Yeah, that's his energy right
1:05:56
there. Yeah, he should have just, like,
1:05:57
embraced it. And so he climbs up the stairs,
1:06:00
and when he opens the top of the basement, like the the stairway
1:06:04
from the basement to the kitchen, he overhears Phil
1:06:07
telling Joanne. And like, he's got too much
1:06:09
trauma, he's too much trouble. We just can't handle it.
1:06:11
And Joanne's like, I like him. Yeah, she sucks up for him.
1:06:14
I feel so bad for him here. And then he like closes the door
1:06:18
and then pretends to enter the room without.
1:06:21
Hearing no, no, he still sneaks by and then he goes and grabs
1:06:24
the dog. Oh yeah, he gets Tommy.
1:06:25
Yeah, or Chucky. Yeah, and he sees the doll
1:06:28
sitting there and he goes, I don't like you.
1:06:31
And the dog goes, Hi, I'm Tommy. I love how the eye goes to the
1:06:35
side so like, you know, he has to think about it for a second.
1:06:39
Because, and I love this moment because it shows how smart
1:06:43
Chucky is, that he recognizes how smart Andy.
1:06:47
Is like they. Get each other.
1:06:49
It's a very like hero, villain like Saga with each other.
1:06:52
Because he knows that Andy's gonna know the name of this
1:06:55
fucking doll that was in the house.
1:06:56
Yeah, this is just I love it. Hi, I'm Tommy.
1:07:00
And so he grabs him and he checks to make sure he's got
1:07:03
batteries. Smart.
1:07:04
And then when he walks past, he makes a point of being heard and
1:07:07
showing that he's holding the doll to be like, look, it's
1:07:10
fine. I don't have trauma.
1:07:11
I can handle this doll. Poor it's.
1:07:13
Got batteries and I told it I hate it.
1:07:15
So, like, we're cool. Yeah.
1:07:16
Oh. Man I feel so bad for him.
1:07:19
Here, Kyle and Andy are just playing on the swings together
1:07:21
and that's. Yeah, yeah.
1:07:24
Kyle just wants to sit there and he's like, I'll push you.
1:07:27
And she goes, no, that's fine. And he goes, no, ask me.
1:07:29
It's fun. And she's just like, she gives
1:07:32
in and enjoys the moment with him.
1:07:34
And I think it's important, too, that she has a like, she's only
1:07:36
17, and yeah, she's about to be on her own, but she's still a
1:07:39
kid. Yeah, she's.
1:07:40
And she's never had this moment to be a kid.
1:07:43
Yeah, I I like that she's found like another foster kid to, you
1:07:47
know, bond with her. Also, you know, Chucky is off to
1:07:50
the side. Andy has him set up out there on
1:07:53
a chair and he sees like he's worried that they're going to be
1:07:57
digging up the burial of. Very.
1:07:59
Shallow grave. And on one hand, I get why he
1:08:02
dug it under the swing, because that's where the grass is.
1:08:05
You drag your feet. Yeah, like, stop it.
1:08:07
But he didn't take a deep enough grave.
1:08:09
No, but it was very smart on his part.
1:08:11
I will give him credit. Like he he had a hit and a miss
1:08:14
with it. Like if you dig it there for
1:08:17
sure, but do it deeper. That way you don't have to worry
1:08:19
about somebody kicking the doll up.
1:08:20
Yeah, that's true. So yeah, Andy asks about Kyle's
1:08:25
parents. And she said her dad left before
1:08:28
she was born in her mom gave her up when she was three.
1:08:31
He said, do you remember her at all?
1:08:32
And she said, well, I worked really hard to forget.
1:08:34
And I'm going to call some bullshit on that because I don't
1:08:37
feel like you have to work really hard to forget a lot of
1:08:40
memories from when you were three.
1:08:41
No, yeah, it's pretty easy to do naturally.
1:08:45
So that night, Chucky ties Andy up in his sleep and he said
1:08:49
we're going to play a game called Hide The.
1:08:52
Soul. Dude, how do people So like,
1:08:54
yeah, he starts to do that, but then Kyle interrupts it because
1:08:57
she's climbing through his window, and then she walks in
1:09:01
and sees him all tied up and she's like, hey, Andy, how did
1:09:03
you do this to yourself? Like, how the fuck do you?
1:09:06
My thought would be what the fuck are?
1:09:10
Phil and Joanne doing. Here Like, is this the foster
1:09:13
home I really want to be in right now?
1:09:15
So she's trying to untie him. But at this point, Phil and
1:09:18
Joanne have heard the commotion and they come in and they're
1:09:20
like, Kyle, why would you do this?
1:09:22
And then Phil gets really aggro and he's like, this is.
1:09:25
A doll. It's a piece.
1:09:26
Of plastic. His name's Tommy.
1:09:27
Oh, you want him out of the house?
1:09:28
And then he tosses him to the bottom of the basement and he's
1:09:31
like, good. He's gone.
1:09:32
Yeah, just leaves him right there.
1:09:34
And we see that Chucky is bleeding after that toss, so we
1:09:38
know he's starting to become human again.
1:09:40
So Andy's first day of school, Chucky has made his way into the
1:09:44
classroom. There, he snuck out.
1:09:48
Joanne packed him an egg salad sandwich.
1:09:50
And I just thought that was so sweet because, like he mentioned
1:09:54
the eggs and I yeah, I. When we were watching that, you
1:09:56
went, yeah, it's like me whenever I heard to do anything.
1:10:00
Yeah. She tried to incorporate that in
1:10:04
another meal, too. It was sweet.
1:10:05
It's a good attention to detail there.
1:10:08
She's a good person. Yeah, I think.
1:10:09
She genuinely means well. She does.
1:10:12
She does, yeah. It gets complicated later.
1:10:17
So Andy's trying to talk to Kyle about all that's happened, and
1:10:21
he's upset that she doesn't believe him either.
1:10:23
And it just, it's so heartbreaking because she, like,
1:10:25
drops him off at the bus and he's like, you don't believe me
1:10:28
either. You're just like everyone else.
1:10:30
I know I feel so bad and I feel like she of all people would
1:10:33
maybe like buy into it. Like, you know what?
1:10:36
People probably haven't believed or yeah, believed her most of
1:10:40
her life too. He is like clinging to the
1:10:44
undercarriage of the bus. So he's Chucky.
1:10:48
Chucky is not Andy. Yeah, he's doing.
1:10:50
Fuck, what's the movie? Cape Fear.
1:10:52
Cape Fear. Yeah, which is great because
1:10:54
they referenced that in the TV show later.
1:10:58
Do. They yeah, they do the Cape
1:10:59
Fear. That's their whole plan to get
1:11:01
him at the end of season one. Remember, they're like we're
1:11:03
gonna do Cape Fear. Yeah, you're right.
1:11:06
Yeah. Cool Don Mancini, man.
1:11:10
He's he's, he's a. Smart.
1:11:12
One, Yeah, So while he's outside aggressively throwing a
1:11:16
dodgeball. Against a training fence.
1:11:17
I fucking. Love that man.
1:11:20
Chucky's inside the classroom going.
1:11:22
Through their their pop quiz paperwork.
1:11:24
I would just love if one of the teachers just walked over there,
1:11:26
grabbed him by the shoulders, like no, no, just like twisted
1:11:30
him just a little bit. I went.
1:11:32
I like. Felissa rose from Terrifier too.
1:11:35
To like run up and be like. Andy.
1:11:39
There's a perfectly fine possum behind that dumpster over there.
1:11:44
Go check that shit out. It's Jersey it.
1:11:48
No, wait, he grew up in Jersey, but this is in Chicago.
1:11:51
Just kidding, I got. It all, yeah, it all goes to
1:11:53
Jersey eventually in the show. But yeah, this is Chicago.
1:11:56
Yeah, Chicago. I was gonna say it would make
1:12:00
sense for Felicitous to pop up and hack and sag.
1:12:02
Yeah. But that's that's not till
1:12:04
later, though. So yeah, he gets back into the
1:12:08
classroom, one of the kids is being a bully, and the teacher
1:12:11
immediately blames Andy for it. And she's like, you should be
1:12:13
trying to get on my good side. And before that, he finds Chucky
1:12:17
in his cubby. He's just in there waiting for
1:12:19
him, which is fucking creepy. So yeah, he Chucky, while they
1:12:25
were out there in recess, went over to the papers and was
1:12:28
looking at all of the homework that was turned in, and then he
1:12:31
found Andy's paper. And he wrote fuck you.
1:12:33
Bitch, so Miss Kettlewell sees that writers, they're about to
1:12:36
leave and she makes Andy's safer detention and then she abuses
1:12:40
the fuck out of him by locking him in the classroom by himself.
1:12:44
There's no way that's. Safe.
1:12:46
No man this kids fucked up man I I feel so bad for all the shit
1:12:50
that he has to go through. Yeah, so he's trapped in there.
1:12:54
She chucked Chucky into the full blown closet, as you said,
1:12:59
because she saw Andy staring at him and thought that he would
1:13:01
try and play with her while she's not supervising him.
1:13:05
Yeah. So she locks him in the closet
1:13:08
and then she locks Andy in the classroom and she walks away and
1:13:12
Andy goes over to the closet and Chucky tries to, like, beg him
1:13:14
to let him out. And he's like, I don't have the
1:13:15
fucking keys. What?
1:13:17
What is wrong? With you, I'm not.
1:13:18
Yeah, he does. He wants to get out there, so he
1:13:19
climbs out the window. Yeah, and Miss Kettlewell comes
1:13:22
back and she doesn't see Andy and she thinks that he somehow
1:13:26
got in the closet. She she goes in there and she
1:13:28
looks around and then she dies the most dramatic fucking death.
1:13:31
And that's saying something in this franchise because she looks
1:13:35
around and she eventually pulls back some outfits because they
1:13:39
have, like you said. They have a full blown wardrobe.
1:13:42
And Chucky comes out and like stabs her with like a yardstick
1:13:45
or something and she. He whacks her with it.
1:13:48
Yeah. She flails back, knocks over
1:13:51
three. Desks and it's like.
1:13:54
I love this though man this is probably my favorite shot in the
1:13:58
entire movie. I love how he takes the roar and
1:14:01
he's just walking to her and just slapping it on.
1:14:03
His head. Oh my God, it's so well done.
1:14:06
And then he. Piece the shit out of.
1:14:07
Her with it, yeah. So at home that night, Phil
1:14:12
ain't having it. He said.
1:14:14
This child is fucked up. We wanted a good one.
1:14:17
It's defective, let's send it back.
1:14:19
These aren't his exact words, but it's the jist.
1:14:22
Yeah, it's basically. It sucks.
1:14:24
It sucks the way he treats these foster kids and.
1:14:27
It turns into a fight between him and Joanne because Joanne
1:14:29
really wants to keep Andy. And Kyle comes in and comforts
1:14:33
him, and she kind of like, she comforts him in the way that she
1:14:35
knows how, the only way that she's ever been able to comfort
1:14:38
herself where she's like, you know, you have yourself to
1:14:42
depend on now. And that's, you know, you're
1:14:44
strong, you're in this world, you've got to just rely on
1:14:47
yourself. And you just got to learn to
1:14:49
that. You're the only one.
1:14:50
Dude, it's kind of impressive watching Alex Vincent here
1:14:54
because like, I feel like you could see this kid grow in this
1:14:57
moment. The way he like takes that
1:14:59
information is. Heartbreaking.
1:15:01
Yeah. So Andy sneaks out that night,
1:15:06
really took her words to heart. And he sneaks down to the
1:15:08
kitchen. It takes the electric Carver and
1:15:10
he goes down to the basement and he is going to go fight Chucky.
1:15:14
And of course, because during Phil's whole tirade, he had made
1:15:17
a point of being like, look, see, there's Tommy still there
1:15:19
at the basement stairs. Yeah, and.
1:15:21
He's like, he hasn't moved. And so when Andy opens the door,
1:15:25
of course Tommy's not there because it's not Tommy.
1:15:28
It was Chucky and Chucky's hiding.
1:15:29
So he gets down there and he's like doing this whole search for
1:15:32
him and he's like trying to fight him.
1:15:34
And it's it's this whole like cat and mouse game.
1:15:37
At one point he's stabbing the laundry.
1:15:39
God, Can you imagine? And if Phil hadn't died in the
1:15:41
scene, what he would say the next morning when he sees the
1:15:43
laundry saw cut up. Man, that's the thing, like I I
1:15:46
love seeing these moments when they realize like, oh shit, he's
1:15:50
been telling the truth, which is why it happens here, because
1:15:52
Phil goes down there because he hears a commotion up in the
1:15:55
bedroom. She's like, all right, I I heard
1:15:57
him. I heard the noise.
1:15:58
I'm going to go investigate it. So as he's walking down the
1:16:01
stairs, Chucky took the Carver, cut his leg, and we know.
1:16:06
He ends up no, he gets. Him stronger.
1:16:08
Yeah, there's like a laundry line down there for drawing the
1:16:11
clothing. He ties him up and then he drops
1:16:14
him on his head and it breaks his neck.
1:16:16
I. And I like how he, yeah, he
1:16:17
hangs him upside down and he says I'm like, hey, Phil or
1:16:20
whatever. Like he talks to him like he's
1:16:22
like, yeah, this is fucking me. Like I have been a killer doll
1:16:25
this entire time. And then Joanne comes down there
1:16:27
and sees that Phil is dead and tells Andy to stay the fuck away
1:16:31
from her. Dude I like he could have
1:16:34
fallen. It's not and he's fault by the
1:16:37
fault. Like do due process understand
1:16:40
what the fuck happened? Maybe talk to Andy and
1:16:42
understand what happened. Like God, there's just and I
1:16:46
can't. Imagine what she's going
1:16:48
through. I can't.
1:16:48
Imagine how I'd react. To anybody, if I found you dead
1:16:52
and somebody was near your body, I can't imagine how I would
1:16:55
speak to them. Yeah, I God forbid.
1:16:57
And I got to I got to knock on wood for that because that's
1:17:00
even a speak that out loud feels awful.
1:17:02
But also, I hope to God I wouldn't take it out on a child
1:17:06
that way. Like a fucking kid.
1:17:08
Like if yeah. Like oh like.
1:17:11
The kid hasn't shown any mean spirit or menace at all.
1:17:15
The entire time he's been there. He's been a good kid.
1:17:17
And then Kyle in a role that you can tell she's.
1:17:20
Been in more time since she should have ever had to.
1:17:23
Is being the adult to Joanne and is comforting her.
1:17:26
Joanne's like he was right. We never should have brought
1:17:29
this kid in. Phil would still be around if we
1:17:31
didn't have Andy here. And Kyle is comforting her.
1:17:33
Yeah, in this moment. And then she packs Andy's
1:17:37
suitcase and brings it to him and just does kind of like,
1:17:40
ships him back to the foster home.
1:17:42
Yeah. And the woman, the leader.
1:17:45
There takes him back and he as he's leaving, he said you got to
1:17:49
be. Careful, he's still in the
1:17:50
house. He will come for you.
1:17:53
So Kyle is outside? And she is on the.
1:17:56
Swing she had thrown out. She saw the Chucky doll in the
1:17:59
basement, tosses in the trash can, and she gets on the swing.
1:18:02
And I think part of it is because she doesn't want to be
1:18:04
in the house with Joanne. And then part of it is also
1:18:06
because she's sad. Yeah, that's where her an idiot
1:18:09
been. And so she's swinging and she's.
1:18:11
Kicking her feet around and she unearthed the Tommy doll and
1:18:14
she's like, well, that's weird because I definitely just threw
1:18:16
it in the trash can. She walks over to the trash can,
1:18:19
nothing in there. And then she panics and she's
1:18:22
like, Joanne, Joanne. She runs up there.
1:18:24
She hears Joanne's sewing machine going and she's like,
1:18:26
well, that's good. Except it's not, no.
1:18:30
Go in there. And you see Joanne?
1:18:32
Being. Killed.
1:18:33
Yep. It's a bit unfortunate that her
1:18:34
death, dude even her death was off camera.
1:18:37
Do you think that the actor was on?
1:18:39
I wonder if they filmed that and see she had grabbed a dagger
1:18:44
before she walked. In there, but Chucky got the
1:18:46
jump on her, ends up knocking the dagger out of her hands,
1:18:49
takes it and then is holding her hostage.
1:18:51
Yeah, So he puts her, he makes her drive to the foster center,
1:18:56
and she's slightly speeding, and he tries to tell her to outgun
1:19:00
the police when they want to pull her over.
1:19:03
And then she's like, it's a station wagon.
1:19:05
And you looked at me and you're like, I feel like your station
1:19:07
wagon could have gone faster than that.
1:19:08
And I was like, yeah, Serafina could have done it.
1:19:11
No, I asked, how does that feel? Because it was funny.
1:19:14
Because Chuck is like. OK.
1:19:15
And he accepted. All right, we're not going to
1:19:17
outrun anybody in this thing. So she pulls over.
1:19:20
There was a reason that I had to do cruise.
1:19:23
Control on Sarafina because when I get on the.
1:19:25
Highway. I tend to Do you go fine.
1:19:27
Yeah. And with Sarafina, she could do
1:19:29
it. Outrun a cop.
1:19:31
I don't know. I never would have tried.
1:19:34
Probably couldn't have outrun a cop but like.
1:19:36
I still could have. Floored it.
1:19:38
She was acting like the station wagon couldn't go about 50.
1:19:41
I could afford a golf cart. Doesn't mean I'm going to do
1:19:44
well. OK.
1:19:48
So they get pulled over here. And he, the cop, is confused.
1:19:54
And she was like, well, you. Know those dolls that?
1:19:55
Pee. This one bleeds.
1:19:56
That's how she explains it. His nose is bleeding but I also
1:19:59
like how Chucky just. Drops the whole image and he's
1:20:03
like, hi, I'm Tommy. Like he says it with his like,
1:20:06
normal Chucky voice, like, yeah. And the guy doesn't even
1:20:10
question. He's like, all right, go about
1:20:11
your day and then this because he also tells.
1:20:15
Kyle to buckle up so she gets a. Bright.
1:20:17
Idea. And she slams on the brakes
1:20:19
after she's gotten some speed and it throws Chucky out and she
1:20:21
tries to run him over. It doesn't end up working.
1:20:24
Yeah. And she crashes near a gate and
1:20:27
uh oh, it's right near the foster center.
1:20:29
And what ends up happening is that he makes her go inside and
1:20:32
pull the fire alarm. So everybody is leaving.
1:20:35
And as Andy and Grace are the last two out.
1:20:39
Gracie's. Kyle sitting there next to the
1:20:42
fire alarm, she goes, Kyle, is this your idea of a joke?
1:20:45
And she goes, I didn't do it. Chucky did.
1:20:47
Yeah. And you, there's like, a moment
1:20:49
and you can kind of see, like, where she's just, like, coming
1:20:52
to terms with everything that's happened.
1:20:54
And also, like, I feel like she's saying it in a way that's
1:20:58
almost an apology to Andy, where she's like, oh, my God, I get
1:21:01
it. That's the thing that like
1:21:02
whenever, like, no words. Spoken as soon as Andy's walking
1:21:05
down the stairs and. And he stops and he sees her
1:21:08
holding Chucky. And like, you can see in her
1:21:11
face she's like, like, I get it, I'm sorry.
1:21:13
Like you can get in. And Andy's like, oh, fuck.
1:21:15
OK. Yeah.
1:21:16
So Grace pulls them into her office.
1:21:19
And Chucky comes alive, shoves Kyle into a closet, stabs Grace,
1:21:24
takes Andy and they climb into the back of a truck.
1:21:29
Yeah, a mail truck. Yeah, it makes Andy run into the
1:21:31
truck to perform the. Ritual so Kyle runs out she sees
1:21:35
the truck going she. Manages to get the car running
1:21:38
and follows along behind and she can see that Chucky is
1:21:43
performing the ritual. So.
1:21:45
She pulls ahead, tries to stop the truck.
1:21:50
And the guy? Speedwagon speed, yes, and call
1:21:52
it Speedwagon for nothing, Aria. Speedwagon He.
1:21:56
I heard it from a friend. Anyway, so she gets the truck to
1:21:59
pull over. The guy is not.
1:22:01
Amused at all but when? She runs around to the back of
1:22:03
the truck, it's they're gone. And then she sees that the
1:22:06
factory play Pals is right. There good.
1:22:10
Guy factory so she. She runs in.
1:22:13
There at this point. Andy has been like knocked out
1:22:17
and Chucky has performs the entire ritual but nothing he's
1:22:22
been. In the body too long and this.
1:22:25
Is a fucking problem and now it's no longer about getting
1:22:29
into Andy's body and it's about vengeance and I love this
1:22:34
setting of all of. These good guy dolls just
1:22:37
stacked all over the place. I have a lot of questions
1:22:39
though, because one, what are these fucking palettes?
1:22:41
They don't look like real palettes.
1:22:42
It's weird the way they're set up too.
1:22:44
Why do we have zip tied just two good guy boxes together?
1:22:48
3 Why are they not? In like a.
1:22:49
Large case. That seems like a more efficient
1:22:51
way to ship these around. I have a lot of questions.
1:22:54
Even if they're not going to be like in a case, they would still
1:22:56
be like wrapped. Yes, you have great questions.
1:22:59
This is not going to work. In a realistic factory.
1:23:02
But if you're making making a movie set in the factory,
1:23:05
fucking awesome. It makes for a great set piece.
1:23:08
So this is really what you have to ask these questions.
1:23:12
Well, you don't have to ask them.
1:23:13
I do. It is my job.
1:23:18
So yeah. Ritual can't be.
1:23:20
Performed so Kyle Knox box is on top of Chucky, which
1:23:24
incapacitates them temporarily enough for Andy to run away with
1:23:28
Kyle, and the machinery is running with nobody around.
1:23:31
Also makes no fucking sense there's one guy in.
1:23:34
A control. Room watching that does not make
1:23:36
any sense. It doesn't make any sense and.
1:23:38
For a myriad of reasons. I won't go into my past life but
1:23:41
just trust me on this so they make it to this roller chute.
1:23:46
So they're going to climb up and get out there.
1:23:48
Kyle makes it all the way up to the top, but Andy makes it
1:23:51
almost there and then loses his grip and slides to the bottom,
1:23:54
which Chuck is waiting for. Yeah.
1:23:56
Starts following him. He.
1:23:57
Manages to get. Back up there and then they drop
1:23:59
the cake, the gate on Chucky's arm and he ends up having to rip
1:24:03
it off, rip his hand off and this there's no.
1:24:06
Way they could have known. But it's fucking amazing that in
1:24:10
the remake Mark Hamill voices buddy with the missing arm.
1:24:15
No, I didn't even. They should have done that in
1:24:18
that. One, it's amazing.
1:24:20
It is pretty funny. It's one of those.
1:24:23
Beautiful like little. Hindsight things where?
1:24:25
It's like this is just such a happy little coincidence.
1:24:28
Yeah, so. He ash Williams the dagger into
1:24:33
his stomach. I love that and I wish that we
1:24:36
had more of that. That's going to be I've already
1:24:39
thought about. That's going to be part of the
1:24:40
cover. I love the like body word that
1:24:43
gets. Involved with Chucky.
1:24:45
It's so weird because he's a doll and you shouldn't think
1:24:48
that this exists, but like, he's got innards.
1:24:51
You know his arms. Bleeding.
1:24:53
He's got to stop. The muscles and all of that
1:24:56
nastiness. And when he.
1:24:57
Stabs the dagger in there, it hurts him and he's got to tape
1:25:00
it up and it's just gory and bloody and painful.
1:25:04
And amazing. We explored a little bit.
1:25:06
Here we go full blown within Bride.
1:25:08
Of Chucky, yes, so OK. Employee.
1:25:12
Notices that there's a jam yeah the the jam is like they've.
1:25:16
Knocked over some Chucky. Dolls.
1:25:18
And then there's like a lot of shit backing up, so he goes down
1:25:20
to fix it and this is where I'm screaming at the screen.
1:25:23
Lockout tag out. If you don't know what lockout
1:25:25
tag out is, it's basically when you work in a factory and you
1:25:28
have to do something to repair or clean machinery, you turn it
1:25:32
off. But you also have a series of
1:25:35
like padlocks and you only have the key to the padlock attached
1:25:41
to a piece of machinery, so it cannot be turned back on while
1:25:45
you are in there. Lockout tag out, no count.
1:25:48
That's safe. So he doesn't do that.
1:25:50
He. Just hopes that the machinery.
1:25:52
Doesn't gouge his fucking eyes out.
1:25:54
And you know what happens? The machinery gouges his fucking
1:25:57
eyes out once he gets the jam unjammed.
1:26:00
To his credit, he did not expect the.
1:26:03
Killer doll to be there, it doesn't matter because I
1:26:06
guarantee even though it's only. 1990 I guarantee that he was
1:26:09
given lockout tag out training. That's fair.
1:26:12
I like his death though, because like you.
1:26:14
Get to see like they're opening up the eyes of the dolls and
1:26:18
like putting the eyeballs in there.
1:26:19
So that's what they do to him. Like the machine opens up his
1:26:22
eyes and just shoves like a whole thing of classic eyeballs
1:26:25
in there. This is so awful.
1:26:26
I love it. It's a great kill.
1:26:27
It is gross. Like but.
1:26:29
Man, it's fucking effective. So Kyle and Andy end up trapping
1:26:33
Chucky in a. Machine.
1:26:34
That is like melting pieces together they reverse it.
1:26:39
This doesn't make any sense. So the whole thing is like they
1:26:42
flip this switch, they push the button, it reverses everything
1:26:47
and it melts the shit rather than assembles the shit.
1:26:52
So he goes all the way into that area and the chamber closes and
1:26:58
he gets like melted with like a bunch of other good guy parts
1:27:01
and a BLOB comes out and they assume he's done and they're.
1:27:04
Really ready and they try to leave.
1:27:07
Except that's when Kyle gets hit by the swinging body of the I
1:27:11
List tech and a legless Chucky crawls.
1:27:15
Towards. Andy, I assume he got himself
1:27:19
free. Just in Time escaped, so he's
1:27:23
trying to stab at. Andy gets his nice stuck in a
1:27:25
piece of. Machinery.
1:27:26
And he's right underneath, like this conveniently placed spout
1:27:30
for hot plastic. Yeah, it's like a little tube.
1:27:32
It's just like going everywhere, air blowing.
1:27:34
No, no, this is, this is a different part.
1:27:36
Oh, this? Is a spout of hot plastic.
1:27:38
Andy turns that part melts him. Andy made a note of that.
1:27:42
Earlier, because he almost. Got that dripped on him.
1:27:43
Too. Yeah, this factory's just super
1:27:45
unsafe, man. The killer.
1:27:47
Doll is the least of its worries at this point.
1:27:49
There's just so many lawsuits waiting to happen, you know why.
1:27:54
Ask me why. Why?
1:27:56
Shove it up your ass. OK, he's the guy that's bleeding
1:28:00
this shit, so yeah, so he melts him with some plastic and.
1:28:03
Then he goes and. Saves Kyle because she's knocked
1:28:05
out and she's about to go get Cronenberg.
1:28:08
Saves her. They get down there, they're
1:28:09
ready to go and then a blaba chug is like and this is where
1:28:13
they put the hydraulic. Air into his mouth.
1:28:15
And blow him up. He was up full blown.
1:28:17
And then they leave. Together and she said.
1:28:20
We're going home and he said where's home?
1:28:21
And she said, Andy, I have no idea you have, but it's
1:28:26
wherever. I'm with you.
1:28:28
They're. Home together forever?
1:28:30
Yep, except not in the third. One cuz Kyle's not there cuz he
1:28:34
goes to military school people. Yeah, well, she's nine years
1:28:38
older than him, so. That's true.
1:28:40
She's I don't. Know if she would have been
1:28:41
allowed to foster him given her background?
1:28:44
She's a legal adult, yeah, She should be able to do what she
1:28:47
wants to do. They still have like things they
1:28:50
sell requirements. For Fosters, that makes sense.
1:28:53
Yeah. OK.
1:28:54
So yeah, that's what. We are gonna be talking about
1:28:56
next month. Yeah, that's the series.
1:28:58
This is my rifle. This is my gun.
1:29:00
God man, this is for shooting. This is for fun people.
1:29:04
Hate. On that one.
1:29:05
I love Child's Play Three, so I'm super excited for that.
1:29:08
I'm keeping it at 10. I'm keeping mine at 10.
1:29:12
Fucking awesome, love this movie.
1:29:13
So much, yeah. Honestly, I would keep some of
1:29:15
those extended scenes and maybe. Cut down on the false deaths at
1:29:18
the end, but that's the only change I would really want.
1:29:20
Yeah, same here. Yeah, like build up some like.
1:29:23
Just a few things you don't have like to build up a whole lot
1:29:26
with this movie, like you can keep it lean still, but you
1:29:29
know, just loses its effect whenever you do that shit over
1:29:33
and over again. Talia, much like we talked.
1:29:37
About in the first one, she finds Chucky to be very
1:29:39
terrifying, but she did have more fun watching this one.
1:29:42
She was squeaking, she was squeaking her round.
1:29:45
She was having a fan. She was licking you.
1:29:48
She was kicking around in her. Sleep she.
1:29:50
Actually. You know, as scary as I think
1:29:53
she thinks Chucky is, she had fun with this movie.
1:29:56
So I think Talia is going to give it a nine A9.
1:30:00
She's never. Going to give.
1:30:00
It a 10 because Chucky scares her too much.
1:30:02
But she will. Respect this movie for what it
1:30:04
is. Yeah, Chucky really does just
1:30:07
it. You guys, I wish I could.
1:30:09
Probably explain how terrified she is of my Chucky doll.
1:30:13
It kind of makes us wonder if the doll is actually possessed,
1:30:17
the way she reacts to him every every time we bring it out.
1:30:19
She's. Like I don't.
1:30:20
Like that guy who's Zoe's ultimate warrior.
1:30:25
We agreed we can't do Chucky again.
1:30:26
Yes, we agreed. Man, you know, I think that I
1:30:34
think she'd respect Kyle. This one I think 'cause like.
1:30:39
Kyle once she starts. Figuring shit out, she like
1:30:42
she's a fucking go gatherer. She goes over there, She, she
1:30:44
does a lot of fighting. She, she.
1:30:47
Puts the pieces together really quickly.
1:30:49
She, you know, has a lot of plots that she immediately grabs
1:30:52
that dagger and she's ready to fight Chucky.
1:30:54
But Chucky just gets the jump on her.
1:30:55
She tries and shove. She gets Chucky actually to fly
1:30:59
through the windshield. She knocks over a series of
1:31:01
boxes on top. Of a table.
1:31:03
That's her favorite thing to do. She's really good at that.
1:31:07
Yeah, you know what? Yeah, I agree with you, Kyle.
1:31:10
Kyle is Zoe's ultimate warrior. Yeah.
1:31:14
All right. Who did you relate to?
1:31:19
Oh, I guess I probably relate to.
1:31:23
Andy with the whole like therapist stupid game, tell me
1:31:27
how you feel. That's that's fair.
1:31:31
It's dark, but. It's true.
1:31:35
Who did I relate? To.
1:31:37
Man, I I'm gonna say I probably. I'll relate to that fucking kid
1:31:48
that was flicking Andy. 'S ear.
1:31:52
I was kind of an asshole. When I was a kid.
1:31:55
And once I saw that, pathetic. Display.
1:31:58
Of bouncing the ball against the fence.
1:32:01
I found my target. That's who I'm going to put.
1:32:08
He's new. He's bouncing a ball against
1:32:10
Chan Link. It's over and I was well in the
1:32:14
pecking. Order so that right there.
1:32:16
All right, I finally found one lower than me.
1:32:18
Y'all? That's the kid I'm pecking on.
1:32:21
OK, all right, let's. See.
1:32:24
What do we have next week? Tackling Yeah, cuz we don't do
1:32:28
dream sequel since it's our franchise.
1:32:29
You don't do dream sequel, it's our franchise coverage.
1:32:31
So tackling. All right, let's see.
1:32:35
That's our first one is battery included batteries.
1:32:39
Included battery included, Yeah. What if we keep briefing on that
1:32:46
we do disassembly required? Because that's how they end up
1:32:49
killing him in this one. They split him apart.
1:32:52
Disassembly. I feel like that's more fitting
1:32:54
for a three. Because he goes into the fan but
1:32:57
they split him apart in this one.
1:32:59
He rips. Off his hand and his legs and
1:33:01
then they blow him apart and they at it starts off with them
1:33:05
taking him apart and putting him back together.
1:33:10
He gets reassembled. In the opening, just some
1:33:12
disassembly. Required.
1:33:16
OK, some. This is simply required.
1:33:18
OK, I. Can live with how that works OK
1:33:21
yeah OK Next up we have Internet review OK what you got I got us
1:33:29
an. IMDb OK, and I know.
1:33:31
You know we both love this. I'm sure you pulled a less than
1:33:34
positive review, so I'd like to hear what somebody who doesn't
1:33:37
like this maybe thinks about it and why maybe they don't like
1:33:39
it. It's a 2 out of 10 rated.
1:33:43
Back in September of 2009, titled Yucky Chucky.
1:33:48
I like the rhyme so I'm willing to hear them out.
1:33:52
All right, so they say, well, what do?
1:33:54
You know Chucky's back and he's still after Danny.
1:34:00
He does. He is.
1:34:01
Just like Danny in The Shining, I said that at the.
1:34:03
Beginning and I'm OK with it. They did like a whole Danny
1:34:06
thing. They do a shining.
1:34:07
Trivia in the end, too. Yeah.
1:34:09
With a whole maze thing. Yeah, yeah, so.
1:34:13
And he's still after Danny. Who is?
1:34:14
Now under the care of foster parents, I don't think that that
1:34:18
wasn't intentional. I think that they I'll allow it.
1:34:21
It's fine at the. Beginning the film is OK, but
1:34:25
before? Long it becomes unlikable and
1:34:27
comes to the climax. It is practically unwatchable.
1:34:31
The original Child's Play was constructed like Jaws.
1:34:34
The monster or monster doll in this case was kept in the
1:34:37
shadows until the last half hour, which was good filmmaking
1:34:41
on the part of both directors and Jaws too.
1:34:43
Having seen what the shark is and what is capable of, the film
1:34:47
makers figure there is no need to hide it anymore.
1:34:50
And the makers of Child's Play too are doing the same thing
1:34:53
with Chucky. Big mistake.
1:34:55
The tension is reduced to a handful of boom moments.
1:34:57
Chucky is no longer scary, he is loud and obnoxious, and the
1:35:01
climax offers impressively amusing and money efficient set
1:35:04
design. And then otherwise wreck of a
1:35:07
concluding chapter. This is arguably one of the
1:35:10
worst horror sequel as I have seen in the last few years.
1:35:13
Save your money. This doll should be left in the
1:35:15
box. I want to know what this guy's
1:35:17
opinion was on Jaws too. Other.
1:35:19
Than just comparing it to this because we we watched Jaws 2
1:35:25
together last weekend and your your review was well that was a
1:35:31
sequel to Jaws. No.
1:35:33
I my review. Was.
1:35:35
They did a good job having it be a sequel to Jaws.
1:35:40
Yep, they did a fantastic job with.
1:35:43
That. But it wasn't fun.
1:35:47
It was no fun to. It was just.
1:35:49
And here's Jaws again. I think maybe this is a person
1:35:53
that. Likes to have tension and we've.
1:35:57
Talked about. This plenty of times because we
1:35:59
are very much people that like we're a comedy and we're OK with
1:36:03
our killers being funny or having funny moments in a horror
1:36:06
movie and that's why this a movie appeals to us so much.
1:36:10
This is why Return of the Living Dead appeals to us so much.
1:36:12
This is why a lot of movies that we talked about on the show
1:36:14
appeal to us so much. I wonder if this is a person
1:36:17
that wants their horror movies to be scary and that's it.
1:36:21
Which is fine if that's what you want.
1:36:24
Oh, I just, I don't understand. I don't.
1:36:27
Know what else you'd do with this?
1:36:29
If Yeah, because you know that, that you can't play that for
1:36:32
attention a second time. You can't keep that.
1:36:35
You can't keep a straight face with that.
1:36:37
Forever. No, it just doesn't work.
1:36:40
There maybe could be a way. Where you could do a like, you
1:36:46
see that? That's Tommy, and then
1:36:48
throughout the movie you think that that's Tommy and maybe like
1:36:52
Andy is. Imagining it all, it's a like,
1:36:55
is it real or is it not? Yeah.
1:36:57
There's something, but I also. Feel like you can't really do
1:37:00
that twice because it's kind of what they did in the first one.
1:37:03
Yeah, well, I feel like it could have been what they had.
1:37:06
Originally planned for the first one where it was like a whodunit
1:37:09
type deal where like oh shoot maybe it is Andy this time.
1:37:12
Maybe the trauma got to him, but I like the direction they went
1:37:16
because, yeah, I like having them embrace the character of
1:37:20
Chucky as we know him today. They had fun with it, and that's
1:37:25
what I like. And it these movies were never
1:37:28
scary to me. No, they scare a lot of people,
1:37:31
but I've always seen them as just fun horror movies that you
1:37:36
just have a good time watching. That's really it.
1:37:39
But some people are terrified of creepy.
1:37:41
Dolls so. You know, that's your thing.
1:37:45
Yeah, we've got a. Friend afraid of sharks in
1:37:48
swimming pools. She's afraid of clowns too.
1:37:51
Also afraid of clowns? But I feel like that's a much
1:37:53
more specific. One that needs to be talked
1:37:55
about and I feel like we need to talk about it more cuz that's
1:37:58
just, it's so specific. But like everybody's got like a
1:38:01
weird thing and it's like I'm afraid it's like me talking
1:38:03
about like one of my biggest fears is like a toenail Clipper
1:38:08
clip and a tooth in half. Like that image is in my head.
1:38:11
We've talked about this, we've mentioned that is upsetting
1:38:13
imagery. Yes.
1:38:14
And you said that last time? It's it's one of those.
1:38:17
Things that like, it's never happened, but it's there.
1:38:19
It's in my thoughts. I can't not do it.
1:38:22
That's good. So yeah, OK.
1:38:26
Do we have listener reviews? We have.
1:38:29
One review. Just one.
1:38:30
Just one like on Twitter. It was the last driving night.
1:38:34
I think it got buried a little bit there.
1:38:37
We did have Word Zombie who chimed in, and I should.
1:38:41
I've meant to say this before, but happy birthday to Word
1:38:44
Zombie. Happy birthday bud.
1:38:46
He had a birthday. Earlier in.
1:38:49
The week that this came out, his birthday is on the 23rd.
1:38:52
So yeah, happy birthday, buddy. But he.
1:38:56
Chimed in on. Twitter saying, all right, I
1:38:58
love to review, but it's been so long since I've watched it, I
1:39:01
can't. And I respect that.
1:39:02
I appreciate you, you know, Yeah, you know, showing.
1:39:06
Give yourself a little birthday treat and maybe watch this one
1:39:08
again. It's on Tubi.
1:39:09
It's on. Tubi, it's folk Free.
1:39:10
Yeah, folk. Free do it.
1:39:13
But the. One that we do have is from
1:39:15
another Bubby patron, our buddy Michael Howard.
1:39:20
OK, who says? Not a lot of the.
1:39:24
Sequels can move up to. Their original, but this is.
1:39:26
A great contender. The cast is great in this one.
1:39:29
We also still get a bit more of the horror element of the
1:39:31
original. I'm a huge fan. 9 out of 10.
1:39:34
Absolutely. I agree man.
1:39:36
Like the IT keeps the horror like it keeps Chucky as a
1:39:41
slasher villain and like he's not nerfed at all.
1:39:45
Yeah, well, it's also not fully played up for like, comedic
1:39:51
effect or like he he I feel like he loses, like he's still the
1:39:56
same, but like, eventually he kind of loses his edge a little
1:40:00
bit. He's not.
1:40:00
He's played more comedically. He's got more like charisma.
1:40:03
He's like, he's cracking jokes and shit like that.
1:40:06
This one right here, he's still kind of like a mean guy.
1:40:09
Yeah, he does start to become what we like in this one right
1:40:14
here, but he still has the traces of the original.
1:40:18
That's very true. I like that.
1:40:19
Yeah, it's a it's such a solid sequel.
1:40:22
I love it. It is.
1:40:23
Like I fucking. Love this as a follow up, it's
1:40:25
so. Fucking good.
1:40:27
All right, so that's it. Child's play, too.
1:40:30
Yeah. Next.
1:40:33
Week is. Actually.
1:40:34
The start of a new month and it's gonna be Travie's birthday,
1:40:39
pal. Yeah, fuck y'all are.
1:40:41
In it for a treat, because I've already said that I think once
1:40:46
before. But if you missed it, my movie
1:40:48
is going to be pieces. We're getting nasty, y'all,
1:40:53
We're getting nasty. It's the chainsaw movie if you
1:40:56
watched. Your video.
1:40:57
Nasty episode. It's the movie with the
1:40:59
chainsaw. Yeah.
1:41:02
Oh man, it's a fucking weird. Movie it.
1:41:04
Is so bizarre it's. Wild.
1:41:08
We're putting together a puzzle of boobies.
1:41:10
It's if you, if you. Have not watched it.
1:41:14
I encourage you to watch it cuz it's a fucking treat.
1:41:17
I was so so much wild and I feel like I should hate it but.
1:41:22
I love. It Yeah, Let me see.
1:41:26
I'm not gonna actually, I'm not gonna read where it is right now
1:41:28
because it's gonna be a new month when it comes out.
1:41:31
I actually know what no, it's still gonna be July when people
1:41:34
can watch it cuz it'll be August first or second maybe.
1:41:38
I don't wanna spoil it for now like.
1:41:41
Right now, but it's probably got my favorite tagline for a movie
1:41:45
ever on the poster. Do you know if it's still on
1:41:49
Shutter right now? Yeah, I believe it is.
1:41:50
So I'll double check it real quick.
1:41:52
OK, but it. Definitely is on to be Peacock.
1:41:54
Sling TV, Plex, Fubo TV, YouTube, Prime Time YouTube.
1:41:59
TV Premium or Philo Premium? Holy hell, it's everywhere.
1:42:02
It's a lot of places. It's very.
1:42:04
Watchable. Yeah.
1:42:05
And it is on shutter, so if you want to watch the.
1:42:08
Job version. Go do so yeah, it's the end.
1:42:11
It's the very last movie in his. His all night version, yeah,
1:42:16
that brought him back, back to network.
1:42:18
Doing. This thing, yeah, it's.
1:42:21
