- 1:40Speaker 3: Whoa dude i fucking loved this movie I love this movie. Well,
- 1:48Speaker 3: I mean, I have to justify it throughout the... Well,
- 1:50Speaker 3: I mean, I can't do this if you're going to
- 1:52Speaker 3: be like, and then they fucking do this.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And I don't know, man.
- 1:57Speaker 3: It's just like.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I never, I never, I've never, I've never presented a
- 2:00Speaker 1: movie in that way ever.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay. Ever.
- 2:03Speaker 1: No, come on.
- 2:04Speaker 3: We both have.
- 2:05Speaker 1: We both have. I never do that. I always, I
- 2:09Speaker 1: go above and beyond talking about movies that I hate. Listen, dude.
- 2:13Speaker 1: You're more.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I was, I was, I was... You're right. You're right.
- 2:17Speaker 3: I do that. I was initially very skeptical with the
- 2:22Speaker 3: highly stylized and very 2013 color grading and like, look
- 2:29Speaker 3: of this movie and shot digitally and yeah digital chucky.
- 2:32Speaker 1: With with the bad house that they made a.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Modern so one of the characteristics of modernism of this
- 2:40Speaker 3: movie dude is that it is digital chucky another thing
- 2:42Speaker 3: that what are you talking about digital chucky another thing
- 2:46Speaker 3: is dude and like how this looks the look of
- 2:49Speaker 3: this it looks very saw x and It looks very, like,
- 2:53Speaker 3: it's got that tone shift. The tone shift was so
- 2:57Speaker 3: key for this movie, and it's what really made it work.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Pairing down the stakes of just one house, just one family,
- 3:06Speaker 3: it's kind of like a back-to-basics Chucky, but also, like,
- 3:09Speaker 3: it's almost like a pivot while maintaining the, like, insane
- 3:13Speaker 3: lore of all of the other ones. So it's, like,
- 3:16Speaker 3: acknowledging the, like, series as a whole while at the
- 3:21Speaker 3: same time, like, giving us this, like, incredible stakes and
- 3:26Speaker 3: pivot turn and also, like, giving us a different kind
- 3:29Speaker 3: of family dynamic lens through which to see the Chucky story.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I just thought it was so cool. Again, it had the, like,
- 3:36Speaker 3: queer element. And this one has, like, a disability rights element.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It's just, like, really.
- 3:42Speaker 3: I think like perfect and like so perfectly done. Fiona
- 3:45Speaker 3: Dourif is like inspired casting. The Chucky rebrand face is
- 3:51Speaker 3: just unbelievable, dude. The Chucky face of all things. The
- 3:55Speaker 3: Trisha Paytas face that like. So do I think I'm transgender?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Yes, a thousand percent. Do I identify with my natural-born gender?
- 4:03Speaker 1: A thousand percent.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Fucking face-maxed Chucky. Face-maxed Chucky. No, it's so ugly. Lip
- 4:11Speaker 3: injections Chucky. He looks like Trish Paytas, dude. I thought
- 4:16Speaker 3: it was amazing. The Chucky face was actually... The first
- 4:21Speaker 3: thing that, when I saw it, I was like, gummy Chucky?
- 4:24Speaker 3: Are we gonna get a gummy Chucky? A buck-toothed, grin
- 4:27Speaker 3: Chucky in this? But, like, as it was going on,
- 4:30Speaker 3: I was like, this is actually such an inspired choice. Anyway,
- 4:34Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we should get into it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Chucky goes to Turkey in this one.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Definitely, like, looks maxing Chucky, for sure.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Yeah, so we get this....
- 4:48Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding.
- 4:51Speaker 1: We get a shot of a mysterious package coming to
- 4:54Speaker 1: Fiona Dorff's house.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I mean, a Chucky Box style package.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Yeah, a classic Chucky Box. Yeah, I mean, when it
- 5:03Speaker 1: comes to Fiona Dorff and her.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I mean, disability rights, Chucky, it's not really, like, it's
- 5:12Speaker 1: just kind of, like.
- 5:13Speaker 3: No, I mean, well, like, we have a protagonist in
- 5:16Speaker 3: the movie that is disabled, which is cool. I think it's, like,
- 5:20Speaker 3: in keeping with, like, how this movie sort of likes
- 5:22Speaker 3: to trailblaze cultural themes in a way that is, like,
- 5:26Speaker 3: you know... I think empowering, you know, or like, or
- 5:29Speaker 3: at least like they included in the story and it's
- 5:31Speaker 3: interestingly written and it's not like, you know, but.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's, that's, that was my biggest problem with the movie
- 5:37Speaker 1: is that it felt boring. Like what felt bad to
- 5:40Speaker 1: me about this movie.
- 5:42Speaker 3: In, in, You're so wrong, dude. I was excited the
- 5:45Speaker 3: entire time watching this movie. I couldn't wait to talk
- 5:47Speaker 3: to you about it.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to talk about it.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Dude, the only disappointment in talking about it is realizing
- 5:54Speaker 3: that you're not as excited as I am.
- 5:56Speaker 1: But in a way, I'm excited to talk about it.
- 5:59Speaker 3: In a way, I'm happy because I feel like I
- 6:01Speaker 3: can make you like this movie, dude. I feel like
- 6:03Speaker 3: I can make you... Okay, one thing. Let's start with
- 6:06Speaker 3: the casting, dude. I think that these actors and their
- 6:09Speaker 3: performances specifically are amazing. And like, It's kind of like,
- 6:16Speaker 3: I think in keeping with the metamodern twist, again, I'm
- 6:18Speaker 3: going to stick on this because I do think there
- 6:20Speaker 3: is a case to be made for it. They're so
- 6:24Speaker 3: melodramatic and they're so serious about it, but it's not
- 6:28Speaker 3: the satire of part five, right? It's, wait, part five? Seed?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Yeah, part five. It's, like, it gives us, like, the
- 6:37Speaker 3: genre pivot and the tonal pivot that, like, I think
- 6:40Speaker 3: the series desperately needed while still keeping the ridiculousness. And so,
- 6:46Speaker 3: in keeping with that, you get these performances that are
- 6:49Speaker 3: kind of, like, it seems like, you know, when actors
- 6:55Speaker 3: send in, like, acting reels or they send them self-tapes
- 6:59Speaker 3: yeah self-tapes it gives very self-tape vibe it gives like
- 7:03Speaker 3: you're not acting with anyone else you're just in your
- 7:06Speaker 3: own vignette and i love that i thought it was
- 7:10Speaker 3: so good fiona dorif in as nika in the wheelchair
- 7:15Speaker 3: sees you know we've got her mom set us up here.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Uh the the package comes and it's sort of like
- 7:23Speaker 1: what's this what's going on And....
- 7:29Speaker 3: Thanks, Alex. You are saying it like you hate it.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of, like, hey, what's going on? You're, like,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I don't know. I love the micro-expressions. The elevated micro-expressions.
- 7:43Speaker 1: It's very, like... But also, like, even the disability element is, like, oh,
- 7:48Speaker 1: my God. You have a terrible life.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 7:52Speaker 1: You don't... You've never done anything with your life.
- 7:57Speaker 3: That's true.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It's a little bit like, oh, okay, I guess.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the movie definitely sets a value up on
- 8:07Speaker 3: her life and how she's used it being disabled.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Because the guy comes to hand the Chucky doll, and
- 8:14Speaker 1: this hot wheelchair lady answers the door, and she's like...
- 8:19Speaker 1: Was he hitting on me? This, like, weird nerd loser
- 8:24Speaker 1: delivering this baggage?
- 8:26Speaker 2: I'm like, that guy?
- 8:26Speaker 3: This guy? She was excited about this guy flirting with you?
- 8:29Speaker 1: But it's like, I mean, she's got those Dorif features.
- 8:32Speaker 1: The beautiful blue eyes. She's got those Dorif balls. The
- 8:38Speaker 1: only thing that Greeks know how to play with is
- 8:40Speaker 1: each other's balls.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I can't wait to talk about fucking young face, soft face.
- 8:49Speaker 3: That was amazing. I can't wait to talk about... No,
- 8:55Speaker 3: you're lying.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I never kid you. It totally is. It totally is.
- 9:01Speaker 3: You can tell that Dom NCD loves Tommy Wiseau. I
- 9:05Speaker 3: think he made him look extra Tommy.
- 9:09Speaker 1: In fact, that you're tearing me apart is definitely a
- 9:12Speaker 1: reference to you're tearing me apart. Now in retrospect, it's like,
- 9:17Speaker 1: oh no, he's just dressed him like Tommy Wiseau.
- 9:21Speaker 3: He realized that part one Brad Dorff looked a little
- 9:25Speaker 3: Wiseau-ish and so he Wiseau-ed him.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, Fiona and Mama Fiona are like... oh,
- 9:36Speaker 1: what's this package? It doesn't say who it's from. And
- 9:39Speaker 1: then it's the amalgamation of several different Chucky faces. It's
- 9:47Speaker 1: like a somewhat like old, like the first good guy
- 9:52Speaker 1: doll Chucky.
- 9:53Speaker 3: It's more reverted to good guy doll Chucky, but with
- 9:56Speaker 3: a different mouth. With a slightly different mouth. Opened mouth
- 9:59Speaker 3: still with a... way thicker hair at the front yeah
- 10:02Speaker 3: he's gone to turkey and he's.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Buck-toothed yes and i feel like he was slightly buck-toothed
- 10:09Speaker 1: in the or it's like.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Well this this mouth moves kind of like this.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'm doing a like a like a pecking motion with
- 10:16Speaker 1: my hand it is very pecking.
- 10:19Speaker 3: I like looks maxed Chucky. I do. I also like
- 10:25Speaker 3: when he's.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Oh, oh, like when he's in between... Closed mouth, no
- 10:32Speaker 1: lip smile Chucky.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Curvy mouth smile Chucky.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And, you know, Fiona is like, oh, Alice will love him.
- 10:41Speaker 1: And then the mom, for some reason, throws the doll out. Uh.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Yeah, so I get the feeling that this family, they
- 10:52Speaker 3: just try and show it through small ways, but I
- 10:57Speaker 3: like that they showed and didn't tell as much, but
- 11:00Speaker 3: they did so in kind of a real modern way,
- 11:03Speaker 3: like in a real Netflix way, where it's very hammy
- 11:06Speaker 3: the way they're showing certain things, like emotions, which I
- 11:09Speaker 3: thought was kind of also served to give the movie
- 11:14Speaker 3: this interesting... off-kilter feel because it really plays out once
- 11:20Speaker 3: again like.
- 11:21Speaker 1: A horror movie. Yeah.
- 11:24Speaker 3: A very 2013 horror movie. It's very The Conjuring Chucky.
- 11:29Speaker 1: The thing that I think really irritates me about the
- 11:33Speaker 1: second half of the Chucky series is that the first
- 11:38Speaker 1: ones are very set in a contemporary time and they
- 11:42Speaker 1: embody that and make it feel very.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Somehow it feels much more timeless. Whereas the post... uh,
- 11:55Speaker 1: Bride of Chucky in that era, they go back to
- 11:58Speaker 1: this like Gothic aesthetic of like, but this is what
- 12:00Speaker 1: real horror movies look like rather than like the horror being, I,
- 12:05Speaker 1: I'm a poor mom with, you know what I mean?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Or like I'm in foster care or I'm in the military.
- 12:12Speaker 1: You know what I mean? There's like things like that
- 12:14Speaker 1: and it becomes much more lore. But then this one
- 12:18Speaker 1: does a reversal in terms of like, we don't get,
- 12:22Speaker 1: It rests on its lore-les a little bit too much with, like,
- 12:27Speaker 1: a story that doesn't interest me as much.
- 12:30Speaker 3: It gives you a contained story, and then it crams
- 12:32Speaker 3: all of the lore in at the end.
- 12:34Speaker 1: At the end, yeah.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Which I really liked, because it was, like, stark reveal, Chucky.
- 12:39Speaker 3: And it did, like, it tried to do kind of, like,
- 12:43Speaker 3: both Final Destination-style reveals... And, like, Saw X style reveals of, like,
- 12:50Speaker 3: we've included all of it. We listened to you, the audience,
- 12:53Speaker 3: and we brought it back to horror. But we also
- 12:55Speaker 3: included all of the lore. So, you can't be mad
- 12:57Speaker 3: at us about anything. We've covered all of our bases.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Well, let's say, yeah, it does feel like we've covered
- 13:03Speaker 1: all our bases, Chucky. And, like, she throws away the doll.
- 13:08Speaker 1: She goes upstairs. This is very, like, expedited stuff.
- 13:12Speaker 3: I think it's a narcissist mom. And the sister's also
- 13:15Speaker 3: a narcissist.
- 13:16Speaker 1: The sister's definitely a narcissist.
- 13:17Speaker 3: We've got to talk about the sister being a.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You always do this!
- 13:21Speaker 3: Family dynamics, Chucky. I love the... You always do... It's
- 13:25Speaker 3: about you!
- 13:26Speaker 1: But the thing is.
- 13:27Speaker 3: We've definitely had one or two of these arguments. On
- 13:30Speaker 3: the show, dude.
- 13:31Speaker 1: So... There's Fiona wakes up. I'm just going to call
- 13:36Speaker 1: her Fiona. I don't care. Nika is not her name.
- 13:38Speaker 3: It's Fiona. I connected with the character Nika. I didn't
- 13:41Speaker 3: even know she was Fiona until the, I mean, I
- 13:43Speaker 3: forgot everything about this movie. It wasn't registering at all
- 13:46Speaker 3: that it was Dr. Robbie, uh, Chucky.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah. It is Dr.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Robbie Chucky. And I just didn't.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And Dr. Robbie's mom in the show is Brad Dorff.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I know.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Yeah. So Chucky is her dad in the show.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Chucky pussy, dude.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Um, Yeah, so Nika goes out to check on her mom.
- 14:07Speaker 1: It's like nighttime after the mom has thrown out the dummy,
- 14:10Speaker 1: and she goes downstairs.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Dummy.
- 14:13Speaker 1: She goes downstairs in her old-timey... uh elevator the house
- 14:21Speaker 1: the house was insane it's just the house was like.
- 14:26Speaker 3: And like it like also like had this like very
- 14:28Speaker 3: like weird scale like super giant um and like it
- 14:33Speaker 3: never even though you could tell it was always the
- 14:35Speaker 3: same house based on like the decor and stuff i
- 14:38Speaker 3: never felt like we were in the same room twice
- 14:40Speaker 3: even though like the entire movie is set it basically
- 14:43Speaker 3: in this one house.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yeah well that's the thing that that made it feel
- 14:47Speaker 1: weird to me was that there You're right. I'm glad
- 14:51Speaker 1: you noticed the scale because obviously it's a set, right?
- 14:54Speaker 1: And it's like they shot the exterior of a house.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And that can be really cool and interesting, but the
- 15:01Speaker 1: set decoration was bad too.
- 15:06Speaker 3: I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was
- 15:07Speaker 3: trying to set a very specific tone and very specific
- 15:10Speaker 3: world because it gives this kind of like... Even the
- 15:13Speaker 3: way that they're all acting, it gives this kind of
- 15:15Speaker 3: like hollow quality where you're like... they're almost, like, vessel-like,
- 15:21Speaker 3: but then the hyper-specificity of some of the, like, details
- 15:24Speaker 3: and things that happen give them subsequently so much character,
- 15:28Speaker 3: so they kind of live in this, like, two-dimensional, or, like,
- 15:31Speaker 3: four-dimensional space where they're, like, you know, on one hand, they're, like, fucking, like, these, like,
- 15:36Speaker 3: hollow avatars, and then on the other hand, they're, like,
- 15:38Speaker 3: These very specific and well-developed characters that have their own
- 15:44Speaker 3: universe in this movie and then in the broader series
- 15:47Speaker 3: as a whole.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's... To me, that's reaching. You
- 15:52Speaker 1: think I'm being generous? I think... Fiona Dourif is the
- 15:56Speaker 1: only person that really feels like there's any trying of acting.
- 16:03Speaker 3: I disagree, dude. You don't think the mom... You don't
- 16:07Speaker 3: think the sister-slash-mom of Amy was acting the shit out
- 16:11Speaker 3: of that part and did such a good job? You
- 16:13Speaker 3: don't think that the au pair was great? You don't
- 16:16Speaker 3: think that Amy the child was fucking great in this movie?
- 16:19Speaker 3: You don't think that the absentee dad who wants to, like...
- 16:23Speaker 3: surreptitiously divorces his wife and is gathering evidence. He's a
- 16:27Speaker 3: great character, dude. You don't think that secret Andy Barkley
- 16:30Speaker 3: at the end of this movie is a great character, dude?
- 16:32Speaker 3: You don't think that Tiffany slash Jennifer Tilly slash Tiffany, again,
- 16:36Speaker 3: is a great character at the end of this movie?
- 16:38Speaker 1: No, it's just like, what great character? She doesn't have
- 16:41Speaker 1: a character. The ending, he's like four different endings smushed
- 16:45Speaker 1: into one. And then a weird post-credits sequence.
- 16:49Speaker 3: No, I... I disagree, dude.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I mean, that's okay.
- 16:53Speaker 3: You can disagree. I thought it was amazing.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad you did.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay. Let's continue.
- 16:58Speaker 1: So, blood leaks from... Everybody dies with pools of blood.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Pools of blood or eyeballs. There's so many eyeball deaths
- 17:06Speaker 1: in this. And she sees that her mom has died
- 17:09Speaker 1: and calls on this old-timey rotary phone. The police. And
- 17:17Speaker 1: then Curse of Chucky is revealed. Don Mancini is Curse
- 17:20Speaker 1: of Chucky.
- 17:20Speaker 3: It's true.
- 17:21Speaker 1: It's a very Don Mancini. It is. It is. And
- 17:25Speaker 1: then we get a classic Chucky credits where things don't
- 17:30Speaker 1: get explained and police just come and take away the body.
- 17:33Speaker 1: And then the sister comes.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Yeah. The sister arrives with... The sister arrives, Barbie, with
- 17:43Speaker 3: the daughter.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Father Frank.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Father Frank, Father Intantola, and her child, who is around
- 17:49Speaker 3: Andy-aged Amy.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:51Speaker 3: And who's going to be the new Chucky, dude? Ah,
- 17:54Speaker 3: he doesn't want the doll body anymore, dude. Now he wants.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Now he's coming back.
- 17:58Speaker 3: He's coming back, dude.
- 17:59Speaker 1: They've rebooted it. He's back in the doll. Soft reboot.
- 18:04Speaker 3: So, yeah, dude, the priest, the fucking condescending, sort of
- 18:09Speaker 3: like condescending face, fuckboy-looking priest.
- 18:14Speaker 1: It's weird, because also that was something that felt leaned
- 18:18Speaker 1: on in ways that were like... Is this going to.
- 18:20Speaker 3: What is this? Surprising Catholic elements, dude.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Catholic, yeah. Surprisingly Christian elements.
- 18:24Speaker 3: She won't go to heaven if she killed herself, dude.
- 18:26Speaker 3: She can't go to heaven.
- 18:27Speaker 1: That's... And then he, the priest, quickly being like, well,
- 18:31Speaker 1: we don't actually... That's not actually the way we do
- 18:34Speaker 1: things anymore.
- 18:37Speaker 3: The woke priest.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Oh, but... He's the new Catholic.
- 18:39Speaker 3: He's the Chicago priest, dude.
- 18:41Speaker 1: From Chicago. The new priest is from Chicago. The new pope. Yeah. But...
- 18:47Speaker 1: Our policy is not to judge, but to pity. It's like, whoa, dude, what?
- 18:53Speaker 1: This is how we're treating this?
- 18:56Speaker 3: This fucking, like, really handsome priest's, like, super fuckboy energy.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Well, it's just, like, stuff like.
- 19:03Speaker 3: How it's shot, like, so from above and so from below.
- 19:07Speaker 3: I think really setting up Nika's perspective, dude.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, you know, Father Frank, there's really nothing... Not
- 19:15Speaker 1: that I don't... want to think of the movies previous
- 19:21Speaker 1: to this in ways that where I'm like, was I
- 19:23Speaker 1: just like evoking a lot of putting in a lot
- 19:26Speaker 1: of stuff into the movie of my own? I mean,
- 19:28Speaker 1: of course, but like looking at the, at, at things
- 19:31Speaker 1: like introducing a Catholic element and it doesn't pay off
- 19:35Speaker 1: in any way. There's no like sense of like.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Can I make an argument for it? Sure. I think
- 19:41Speaker 3: it was just to set up both the dynamic of
- 19:44Speaker 3: the family and to give the mom's death some kind
- 19:49Speaker 3: of higher stakes.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Of like, she might not get into heaven. In this family,
- 19:55Speaker 3: there is a narrative of that. Yeah.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I mean, this is the interesting thing about this movie
- 20:01Speaker 1: is that it's all set in one day. Yes.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Yes.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Uh, and it just, it feels a little bit like
- 20:08Speaker 1: lowered stakes, but it feels like it drags because of that.
- 20:12Speaker 3: It's just like, did you think that dog movie dragged
- 20:14Speaker 3: where the dog was the main character of the movie? No. Well,
- 20:19Speaker 3: that had the same kind of like played out in
- 20:21Speaker 3: a similar kind of way that this one did.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Yeah. But like a perspective shift from like how you
- 20:26Speaker 1: get a dog, uh, to tell a convincing story from
- 20:31Speaker 1: that perspective is like, a framework that i find more
- 20:34Speaker 1: interesting than like kind of i'm like looking at a
- 20:39Speaker 1: lot of the seams of this movie and then like
- 20:41Speaker 1: having to compare five other movies that are just kind
- 20:45Speaker 1: of like the the last one was cartoonish in a
- 20:48Speaker 1: way that i was like this is kind of weird
- 20:51Speaker 1: and interesting that like they've taken it to this level
- 20:55Speaker 1: it almost felt like a pair of self-parody this feels
- 20:58Speaker 1: like it's.
- 21:01Speaker 3: It's got... Well, that's why it's metamodern. It's gone beyond
- 21:04Speaker 3: the self-parody. The last one was the postmodern version and
- 21:07Speaker 3: this one went past that and went back into sincerity.
- 21:11Speaker 3: But it doesn't feel sincere.
- 21:13Speaker 1: It is sincere. But none of it feels sincere. What's
- 21:15Speaker 1: sincere about this?
- 21:17Speaker 3: I think the fact that we get introduced to this
- 21:20Speaker 3: family and we get to see the inner workings of
- 21:23Speaker 3: their dynamic and then we get to see how that
- 21:25Speaker 3: plays out with their deaths and how that's connected later
- 21:29Speaker 3: on with the Chucky lore... it gave it so much,
- 21:31Speaker 3: like it kept raising the stakes in such interesting ways
- 21:34Speaker 3: and using like making it a self-contained movie, which is
- 21:38Speaker 3: what you said you wanted it to be a self-contained movie.
- 21:41Speaker 3: And then, but also including the rest of the story
- 21:44Speaker 3: and the lore and positioning it with, this was side
- 21:47Speaker 3: quest Chucky. We got to see one of the side quests. Yeah.
- 21:51Speaker 3: It's kind of like different universe Chucky. Like what if,
- 21:54Speaker 3: you know, the world of Chucky happened and then like,
- 21:57Speaker 3: we just got to see a snapshot of like, you know,
- 22:00Speaker 3: It was the Barclays. Then it was the Kincaids. Then
- 22:03Speaker 3: it was the Tillys. Like, he says it in the movie, dude.
- 22:06Speaker 3: I think it's cool.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Yeah, but, like, I, like... You know, she comes in.
- 22:13Speaker 3: See, this is what I didn't want you to do
- 22:15Speaker 3: through the movie. When you're retelling the plot, I didn't
- 22:18Speaker 3: want you to hum and haw like this of like...
- 22:20Speaker 3: And then she's doing... You are doing that.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to... Because I'm trying to keep on
- 22:24Speaker 1: where the plot is and also trying to think of
- 22:27Speaker 1: what I'm going to say about your wrong opinion. No,
- 22:30Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Do you think I'm wrong? No, I mean, like,
- 22:34Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. I just feel like in
- 22:37Speaker 1: order for that description of this movie to work for me,
- 22:42Speaker 1: there has to be some level of... The acting isn't
- 22:48Speaker 1: very good, and the writing isn't very good.
- 22:50Speaker 3: I completely disagree with both of those things. I think
- 22:54Speaker 3: the acting was great. I think this was one of
- 22:56Speaker 3: the best acted Chucky's.
- 22:58Speaker 1: And then we get introduced to the dad, Ian, and
- 23:02Speaker 1: we get these snippets of dialogue with their nanny.
- 23:06Speaker 3: Their au pair.
- 23:07Speaker 1: They're au pair, yeah.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Live in au pair, $ 400 a week. He doesn't make
- 23:10Speaker 3: that much because he's working in a coffee shop. He's
- 23:13Speaker 3: a fucking loser. We get a sense that their relationship
- 23:16Speaker 3: is on the rocks. Barbie is, like, I guess she
- 23:20Speaker 3: makes a lot of money and she's a bitch. That's
- 23:22Speaker 3: her personality. But, like, she's also a narcissist. It's more about, like,
- 23:27Speaker 3: what her relationship is to everyone else than it is about, like,
- 23:31Speaker 3: her backstory.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very.
- 23:33Speaker 3: This.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Barb is a very, like... what's her name, Laura Loomer vibe,
- 23:41Speaker 1: plastic surgery vibe. I loved all her reactions, her side looks.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I don't know, they didn't feel like real sisters to me.
- 23:49Speaker 1: They didn't feel like siblings.
- 23:51Speaker 3: You didn't think their dynamic was really compelling and interesting?
- 23:56Speaker 3: The way that fight plays out right before Barbie's going
- 24:00Speaker 3: to get killed, to me, was such a cool sibling moment.
- 24:04Speaker 3: I felt like, watching it, I felt like, Dude, siblings.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I felt a little bit like when they had that
- 24:12Speaker 1: fight of like, you didn't know that, you knew that
- 24:18Speaker 1: there was a fucking camera and felt a little bit like,
- 24:22Speaker 1: I'm trying to interrupt this character so that for the
- 24:25Speaker 1: audience it's not revealed that I know there's a camera
- 24:29Speaker 1: and she thinks that Chucky is possessed. It just felt
- 24:32Speaker 1: a little bit like, yeah, like kind of like, oh,
- 24:35Speaker 1: this is like... Not good. This is not good.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Every time you say that, it's shocking to me because
- 24:42Speaker 3: I feel like... Does that shock you? It does shock me, yeah.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Because I feel like I would have described everything you
- 24:47Speaker 3: just said, but in the positive.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I mean, fair enough, yeah.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Dude, Chucky, MDMA, pupil Chucky. Fucking Requiem for a Dream Chucky.
- 24:57Speaker 1: So the little girl has to take a shit in
- 25:01Speaker 1: the bathroom upstairs. The au pair and the dad go
- 25:06Speaker 1: to let her take a shit. And after she's done,
- 25:10Speaker 1: she opens the curtain in the shower and she sees Chucky.
- 25:14Speaker 1: And that's where we find out that The au pair
- 25:16Speaker 1: is making $ 400 a week. And that the dad secretly
- 25:20Speaker 1: hates her for it because it's like, you're fucking my wife.
- 25:24Speaker 3: The undermining of the dad fucking the nanny trove is
- 25:28Speaker 3: the mom fucking the nanny, dude. Which, you know, great.
- 25:34Speaker 3: In keeping with the surprising homosexual elements in this show.
- 25:41Speaker 3: It's not surprising. Everyone knows.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Barbie and the priest go to interrogate nika for some
- 25:47Speaker 1: reason being like we're gonna put you in this home
- 25:51Speaker 1: we're gonna sell the house and put you in this
- 25:53Speaker 1: home and then she's like wait what you're gonna put
- 25:57Speaker 1: me in a home and she's like well you'd you'd
- 26:00Speaker 1: be closer and we could see you all the time
- 26:02Speaker 1: and it's like dude like people in wheelchairs are fully
- 26:07Speaker 1: people you know i think especially hot women in wheelchairs.
- 26:10Speaker 3: No i think i think yes i i agree but
- 26:13Speaker 3: i think they were trying to show this dynamic with
- 26:15Speaker 3: the sister of like how, like sometimes, you know, in
- 26:19Speaker 3: a sibling, um, dynamic where one sibling is disabled and
- 26:24Speaker 3: the other sibling is, uh, like, um, that's a different
- 26:27Speaker 3: kind of disability.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Is it?
- 26:30Speaker 3: Yeah, is able-bodied or like differently disabled than the other person.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Then the other sibling, like a kind of like resentment
- 26:38Speaker 3: forms of like, well, mom and dad paid attention to
- 26:42Speaker 3: you and you had all the attention, you know.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Also, like the... So like.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Well.
- 26:53Speaker 1: This is about money, isn't it? Well, you know, print
- 26:56Speaker 1: media is dead.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Dude, I love the fucking print media is dead line.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Ian's working at Starbucks. In 2013, everybody was talking about
- 27:04Speaker 3: print media being dead.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I mean, and this guy is just another elder millennial
- 27:10Speaker 3: that was the casualty of that time.
- 27:14Speaker 1: We're going to have to send Alice to public school?
- 27:19Speaker 3: The soft reboot. The close-ups of the mouth-seating. That's later on.
- 27:24Speaker 3: That's later on.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Um, yeah, it's like a lot of it feels like the,
- 27:33Speaker 1: the stuff that was explained in credits in the previous
- 27:38Speaker 1: movies are stretched into making it the movie.
- 27:42Speaker 3: I agree. You know what I mean? Yeah. Um, But
- 27:46Speaker 3: I like it. So, Nika says, like, I'm going to
- 27:50Speaker 3: make dinner. For six of us, 6-7. It's 6-7, dude.
- 27:56Speaker 1: It is 6-7, Chucky. 2013 is 6-7.
- 28:00Speaker 3: And pour the chelsea, Chucky. Also pour the chelsea, Chucky.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Yeah, she, like, makes a gross chili sauce. It looked good, though.
- 28:11Speaker 1: It did look good.
- 28:12Speaker 3: And then there are rad poison. Chucky puts rad poison
- 28:15Speaker 3: in one of the chilies. So we get a Russian
- 28:17Speaker 3: roulette situation where like, you don't know who's eating the
- 28:21Speaker 3: poison chili. And of course, the fuckboy priest who stayed
- 28:25Speaker 3: for dinner. And, you know, now God is punishing him for,
- 28:28Speaker 3: you know, accepting the grace of others.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Yeah exactly that is it also feels like this would
- 28:35Speaker 1: you would taste this you would taste this well there's
- 28:40Speaker 1: that one fake out where the little girl's like it
- 28:42Speaker 1: tastes funny maybe there's too much oregano there's so much
- 28:46Speaker 1: oregano in this what's the secret ingredient it's oregano and
- 28:51Speaker 1: it's like i don't think i've ever put i don't
- 28:52Speaker 1: think oregano goes in chili To be honest.
- 28:57Speaker 3: You can put an oregano in anything. Yeah, so, but
- 29:01Speaker 3: it generally doesn't go in chili, you're right. They're doing
- 29:03Speaker 3: a Euro version. It's a white family.
- 29:05Speaker 1: And then when they're all eating dinner and the priest,
- 29:08Speaker 1: it like suddenly nods that the priest was an alcoholic
- 29:11Speaker 1: and he was like, no, I'm good with my water.
- 29:13Speaker 1: It's like, why are we building up?
- 29:15Speaker 3: Offering wine to an ex-alcoholic. Yeah. I... I.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I... You know what, dude? Let me put it this way,
- 29:30Speaker 1: just to make it easier for you, because sometimes it
- 29:32Speaker 1: feels like when I don't like a movie and you're
- 29:35Speaker 1: really excited to talk about a movie, just be excited.
- 29:38Speaker 1: It's fine.
- 29:39Speaker 3: I'm not judging you.
- 29:40Speaker 1: You for for liking the movie i didn't hate it
- 29:43Speaker 1: i had a.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Good time i love it so much.
- 29:49Speaker 1: It's just like bad in ways where it's like oh
- 29:53Speaker 1: this is so weird i'm happy i'm happy that you
- 29:57Speaker 1: like it i think it's very funny and cute that
- 29:59Speaker 1: you like it i want you to be i want
- 30:03Speaker 1: you to explain to me why you like it I just,
- 30:07Speaker 1: this whole.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Scene looks amazing. I love, I love how it's shot
- 30:11Speaker 3: and like the circle, like it really does a lot
- 30:14Speaker 3: of like interesting tension building and like showing their mouths chewing.
- 30:17Speaker 3: It's just like, we've never seen a Chucky like this.
- 30:20Speaker 3: And like, we've never seen like Chucky shot this way
- 30:23Speaker 3: and like with these ideas. And it just was, it
- 30:25Speaker 3: felt very, it felt very fresh for the series. Yeah.
- 30:28Speaker 1: And you know what? Like I really do. I wanted
- 30:31Speaker 1: this scene. to be good. Like, I mean, for me, like,
- 30:35Speaker 1: this idea that there are moments where the dad is like,
- 30:40Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe this is just vegetables
- 30:45Speaker 1: in this chili.
- 30:46Speaker 3: I was like, What the fuck is going on? First
- 30:50Speaker 3: of all, one thing, they're talking about the chili way
- 30:52Speaker 3: too much for it to actually be good.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 30:55Speaker 3: So there's that, there's that, but they're praising her and
- 30:58Speaker 3: the sister's like, can you pass the salt? Like, passive-aggressively.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Yeah, passive-aggressively.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Asks for the salt in a pointed way after the
- 31:05Speaker 3: sister was being praised. So you can tell, can't handle, like,
- 31:09Speaker 3: the sister getting any positive attention at all. Yeah, 100%.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Shows further that she's a narcissist. I'm just like, there's
- 31:15Speaker 3: a lot of, like, interesting points like character building in
- 31:18Speaker 3: these like subtle moments, you know?
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a, that's a good point. I, with,
- 31:25Speaker 1: with the au pair, I was not a fan of
- 31:28Speaker 1: this actor because it just seemed like she's looked like
- 31:33Speaker 1: a model. It just felt a little bit like it.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Was, it was a bit of a nothing character. I,
- 31:37Speaker 3: I do think that, um, let me get another death
- 31:40Speaker 3: in this. I think it's in keeping also with the
- 31:43Speaker 3: kind of like, um, sort of like, exploitation that Don
- 31:48Speaker 3: Mancini is doing of like, Oh yeah. Movies are about hockey.
- 31:52Speaker 3: She's like a token hot girl in the movie. And
- 31:54Speaker 3: she gets like a nightie scene, you know?
- 31:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:57Speaker 3: A hundred percent.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Where she's just in her underwear.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Yeah. So like, I do think she's just kind of
- 32:01Speaker 3: there to pay homage to this idea of a, like a,
- 32:05Speaker 3: a slasher movie sex pot.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Totally. But then we get in contrast to that, we
- 32:10Speaker 1: get like rebuilding the lore where the priest is like,
- 32:14Speaker 1: you know, I seem to remember these toys in the news.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And like the guy being like, oh yeah, they were
- 32:20Speaker 1: like Cabbage Patch Kids or Smurfs. And it's like, like
- 32:25Speaker 1: the kind of trying to put it in that, like
- 32:30Speaker 1: making Chucky real, making Chucky real. But also in the
- 32:33Speaker 1: first one, they do such a good job at just
- 32:34Speaker 1: being like, well, it's like a very popular doll. And
- 32:37Speaker 1: it's like, They just have it stacked.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Yeah, but this continues that. This is also like, this
- 32:42Speaker 3: was a very popular doll. And that it does so
- 32:44Speaker 3: by contextualizing it with dolls that we know that are
- 32:48Speaker 3: from real life. Yeah, 100%.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And then the weird CGI sweat on the priest.
- 32:55Speaker 3: I loved it. And then he touches. It looked real, dude.
- 32:59Speaker 1: It looked CGI to me. It looked like hyper real.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:02Speaker 1: I have an appointment back at the church. What?
- 33:04Speaker 3: What?
- 33:05Speaker 1: What?
- 33:07Speaker 3: Okay, so this was a weird reaction for me. I
- 33:10Speaker 3: was like, is the first thing that I would do
- 33:13Speaker 3: if I felt really sick and not well, is the
- 33:18Speaker 3: first thing that I would do, like, excuse myself? Maybe because, like,
- 33:26Speaker 3: they just had someone close to them die. Their mom died. So, like,
- 33:29Speaker 3: he doesn't want to be, like, you know, imposing sort of, like,
- 33:35Speaker 3: whatever he's going through.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Because he's dying. He ate the poison.
- 33:39Speaker 1: He did eat the poison.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 33:41Speaker 1: And this cop, who also is a nothing cop, but, like,
- 33:46Speaker 1: just is... It just feels too loose. Everything is a
- 33:49Speaker 1: little too loose. Whereas, like, all of the first three
- 33:53Speaker 1: Chucky's are very, like, tight. This is the longest Chucky,
- 33:56Speaker 1: by the way.
- 33:57Speaker 3: It is the longest Chucky.
- 33:58Speaker 1: An hour and 36 minutes.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Going past the first movie to go past the hour
- 34:01Speaker 3: and 30 mark. Which.
- 34:05Speaker 1: It works against it, dude. It totally works against it.
- 34:07Speaker 3: I think that maybe some editing could have been done
- 34:10Speaker 3: for sure.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Like when they cut the priest out of the car
- 34:13Speaker 1: and then his head just fucking falls off. I mean,
- 34:16Speaker 1: that was great. There was a lot of.
- 34:19Speaker 3: Adding that kill is like, oh no. You know what's funny?
- 34:23Speaker 3: It actually did exactly what I wanted it to do.
- 34:26Speaker 3: It did exactly what the first one did. It had
- 34:30Speaker 3: these elements of outrageousness in camp. But it treated the
- 34:33Speaker 3: stakes seriously and high. It was like, it matters when
- 34:37Speaker 3: people die. We know all these characters and we know
- 34:40Speaker 3: this is happening the same night. And it's in one house.
- 34:44Speaker 1: This was really a strange choice because it was very.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Choice-y.
- 34:52Speaker 1: The showing, like the 16mm footage from a family that
- 34:56Speaker 1: was clearly in the 80s.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Then we see Tommy Wiseau lurking in the background.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Yeah, lurking in the background. Brad Dourif as Tommy Wiseau.
- 35:03Speaker 3: I was like, did they recast Brad Dourif as Tommy Wiseau?
- 35:06Speaker 3: That was my very first thought. Because I was like,
- 35:09Speaker 3: I knew the lurker was obviously Charles Lee Ray.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:13Speaker 3: But I didn't, you know.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
- 35:16Speaker 1: It was so strange. And he looks like that outfit
- 35:21Speaker 1: that he's wearing where it's just like a button-up that
- 35:23Speaker 1: he clearly brought from home.
- 35:25Speaker 3: And the fucking duster. The crusty duster. I never took
- 35:30Speaker 3: it off, Tiff. I wore it during fucking.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it felt a little bit like wearing
- 35:36Speaker 1: it during fucking. Yeah, the fact that it was, like,
- 35:39Speaker 1: shot on 16mm, it's like, wouldn't these people have, like,
- 35:41Speaker 1: a VHS camera from that era? They'd, like, hook up
- 35:45Speaker 1: a 16mm camera. Um.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Well, it felt like they wanted it to be set
- 35:52Speaker 3: in the 70s.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. It feels like they wanted it to be like, oh,
- 35:57Speaker 1: no cell phones. There's always an excuse for the cell
- 36:00Speaker 1: phone not to work in this house or whatever.
- 36:04Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you've ever gone into bad
- 36:07Speaker 3: reception zones. Yeah, totally. There's like cities with bad reception zones. Yeah,
- 36:11Speaker 3: that's true. I mean, the city of Chicago did. Which
- 36:14Speaker 3: they mentioned that they're from, dude. Chi-town, let it bang!
- 36:17Speaker 1: Outside, let it rain!
- 36:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they're from Chicago. Bitch, I'm from Chicago. And they're
- 36:23Speaker 3: from the city by the lake, dude. Yeah.
- 36:25Speaker 1: And we've got to return to form. It's no longer
- 36:28Speaker 1: New Jersey, Chucky.
- 36:30Speaker 3: It's actually Chicago, Chucky, but also New Jersey, Chucky.
- 36:35Speaker 1: And then we get our first.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Lower register, Chucky.
- 36:39Speaker 1: We get our first reveal of... Barb being a lesbian
- 36:45Speaker 1: with the au pair. And having an affair with the
- 36:48Speaker 1: au pair.
- 36:49Speaker 3: She's having an au pair, dude.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Yeah, she's having an au pair. And, you know, they
- 36:55Speaker 1: send the kid off to bed. Chucky's not here! Where's Chucky?
- 37:01Speaker 3: It's in keeping with, like, too much mentioning Chucky. And
- 37:06Speaker 3: also still hasn't revealed himself yet, Chucky. Other than doing
- 37:10Speaker 3: weird things like this. A groovy smile, Chucky.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it just.
- 37:16Speaker 3: You made triangle face, dude. You never make triangle face.
- 37:21Speaker 1: And then Chucky ends up sitting on the seat next
- 37:24Speaker 1: to the dad. And he's like, oh, here he is.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Here's where Chucky was the whole time. Yeah, and it's
- 37:35Speaker 1: just like trying to make the dad like a good dude,
- 37:37Speaker 1: even though like this guy feels like he would be
- 37:40Speaker 1: kind of a scumbag. I think he has.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Like a bitterness, a failed midlife bitterness of like, I mean.
- 37:47Speaker 1: We all do, dude.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Things just didn't work out.
- 37:51Speaker 1: You know what? If he played it more like that,
- 37:54Speaker 1: I would be down.
- 37:55Speaker 3: I think that would be great. If he played it
- 37:58Speaker 3: like how... If he played it exactly how Widow's Bay
- 38:03Speaker 3: plays it.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Oh, dude. You know what? Actually, I will say.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Heavy award-winning performance, Widow's Bay.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Honestly, that would be a... I think when I think
- 38:15Speaker 1: of metamodernism, that's a metamodern show. I mean, I get
- 38:19Speaker 1: that from this movie, dude. But I understand through that lens,
- 38:24Speaker 1: I can understand an appreciation for this movie... with that
- 38:28Speaker 1: kind of idea and aesthetic, but it's just, it's too
- 38:33Speaker 1: like budget. It's too loosey goosey half-assed a little bit.
- 38:40Speaker 1: It feels a little bit like, I don't know this,
- 38:44Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It feels a bit first draft.
- 38:47Speaker 1: It feels like if I read this, I'd be like,
- 38:48Speaker 1: that was a good first draft. Let's like tighten this
- 38:51Speaker 1: movie up a little bit.
- 38:52Speaker 3: You know, I, I disagree. But let's continue. Dude, puppeteering, Chucky.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Fiona goes to take the doll up to her niece,
- 39:05Speaker 1: and Chucky spins his head around, and he gets trapped
- 39:08Speaker 1: in the elevator with Fiona.
- 39:11Speaker 3: He's very, I like to be hugged.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very, I like to be hugged. And then
- 39:15Speaker 1: we get more lesbian scenes. It feels like kind of porno.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It feels like a porno.
- 39:21Speaker 3: This scene felt porno.
- 39:22Speaker 1: The movie feels kind of like a porno, too. Like,
- 39:24Speaker 1: it feels like all the sex was cut out of
- 39:26Speaker 1: this porno Chucky.
- 39:28Speaker 3: What makes you say that like just the way it
- 39:32Speaker 3: plays out.
- 39:33Speaker 1: A little bit like just the acting feels the most
- 39:37Speaker 1: porno it's very like well watch out neuter man yeah
- 39:43Speaker 1: exactly And there is like this hyper focus on the sister.
- 39:54Speaker 1: What I like is the sister being like, she needs
- 39:57Speaker 1: my help. That was interesting in a way that would
- 40:01Speaker 1: have been nicer if the mom didn't feel like she...
- 40:07Speaker 1: needed to help her but the mom's need the mom
- 40:10Speaker 1: needing to help her kid is justified by the ending
- 40:14Speaker 1: where we see that charles lee ray actually stabbed please.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Do Sorry, but let's get to those reveals. I feel
- 40:22Speaker 3: like the movie really earns those reveals, so I don't
- 40:24Speaker 3: want to get ahead of ourselves. Yeah, so what's next
- 40:30Speaker 3: on the docket, dude?
- 40:31Speaker 1: She gets upstairs. Barb comes upstairs and is like, Aunt
- 40:37Speaker 1: Nika's tired. Leave her alone. You've over-intended her. That was
- 40:41Speaker 1: very mama-coded. Extended yourself.
- 40:43Speaker 3: Telling that someone else is tired. How someone feels. Deciding
- 40:46Speaker 3: the boundaries of someone else for them.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Is very narcissistic. Sees her sister as an extension of herself.
- 40:54Speaker 3: Sometimes happens in relationships and families with, you know, where
- 40:59Speaker 3: the focus of the family is that there is a
- 41:01Speaker 3: disabled child in the family.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Barb, I'm disabled, not a child. But yeah, and then
- 41:10Speaker 1: they're praying in the room, and Chucky... God, what's her
- 41:16Speaker 1: name again?
- 41:17Speaker 3: Hold on. Barb?
- 41:18Speaker 1: No, the kid. Amy?
- 41:21Speaker 3: Is it Amy? Amy. That's what I've been calling her.
- 41:25Speaker 1: That's Alice. That's what I've been calling her. She's like...
- 41:36Speaker 1: mommy chucky told me god doesn't exist and she's like
- 41:41Speaker 1: what that we're all gonna the life's.
- 41:44Speaker 3: A bitch that life's a bitch and then you die
- 41:46Speaker 3: like a stuck pig he's like alice we don't say
- 41:51Speaker 3: things like that she's very like just i love the
- 41:53Speaker 3: mom's acting you talk about the acting like her acting
- 41:56Speaker 3: in this scene like just look at some of the
- 41:58Speaker 3: stills of her eye acting like looking at chucky when
- 42:01Speaker 3: she's like realizing that chucky like she's having this like
- 42:05Speaker 3: weird feeling of like being told something like this by
- 42:09Speaker 3: a kid and then looking at the doll that they're
- 42:11Speaker 3: talking about and but hearing all of this like fucked
- 42:14Speaker 3: up stuff feels like you're like is my kid projecting
- 42:17Speaker 3: like weird fucked up murderous fantasies.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Onto the doll well like but we got that already
- 42:22Speaker 1: right like we've got we got that and in a
- 42:25Speaker 1: way better way where it's like hey like don't say
- 42:27Speaker 1: that not like huh Well, goodbye, kiss, and then awkwardly
- 42:33Speaker 1: kiss the.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Well, I just think that's what the parenting is like
- 42:36Speaker 3: in that era. In 2013? In 2013, I think parents
- 42:39Speaker 3: were way more likely to be like, huh, I don't
- 42:43Speaker 3: want to make you feel weird. Whereas before it was like,
- 42:46Speaker 3: Whereas before it was like, Jesus Christ, Andy, that's fucked up.
- 42:48Speaker 3: We don't talk about shit like that. Like, I actually
- 42:52Speaker 3: thought it was interesting.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Maybe, but like in that, but what I will say
- 42:57Speaker 1: is in that context, you see the reaction as a
- 43:01Speaker 1: level of fear towards what's happening rather than like, you know,
- 43:06Speaker 1: kind of adding to the fact that I, oh, this
- 43:08Speaker 1: person doesn't really care. There's no indication.
- 43:11Speaker 3: Here there's fear intention and it's just one night. That
- 43:16Speaker 3: time when that was happening with Andy and like his
- 43:19Speaker 3: mom reacted that way, it had been going on for
- 43:21Speaker 3: a while and someone died. So it was like, no
- 43:24Speaker 3: one has died yet. So she's just kind of like,
- 43:27Speaker 3: question mark?
- 43:28Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Sure. Yeah, totally. Or the emoji.
- 43:33Speaker 3: The thinking emoji.
- 43:35Speaker 1: And then Fiona calls and is like, what?
- 43:39Speaker 3: It's in the evidence.
- 43:40Speaker 1: It's from the evidence depository. What? And, like, obviously, oh, yeah,
- 43:45Speaker 1: we've got... It's referencing. It's referencing the fact that it's evidence.
- 43:49Speaker 3: It's the Freddy, Jason, Chucky residence. Evidence residence.
- 43:56Speaker 1: But also, we don't get any, like, manipulation, Chucky. We
- 44:00Speaker 1: don't get any, like, being carried by the little kid to, like,
- 44:06Speaker 1: move to places faster.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Chucky doesn't get condescendingly carried in this one.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't get hit.
- 44:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:13Speaker 1: And, like, you know, he's also being very scary immediately
- 44:17Speaker 1: to the girl. Like, he's not really trying to manipulate
- 44:20Speaker 1: her in any way.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Well, he knows he's going to do it that night, dude.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
- 44:23Speaker 3: He's going to get his revenge that evening, that same night.
- 44:26Speaker 1: And it's like, it also feels a little bit like
- 44:30Speaker 1: a pivot from any of Chucky's motivations, from any of them.
- 44:35Speaker 3: The revenge motivation, we'll talk about that choice at the end,
- 44:39Speaker 3: because it's only revealed at the end why he's getting
- 44:42Speaker 3: revenge on this family um but yeah i i do
- 44:46Speaker 3: have my feelings about that but i want to hear
- 44:47Speaker 3: what you have to say um i the puppeteering of
- 44:51Speaker 3: jackie sorry i i know i'm no go ahead jumping
- 44:53Speaker 3: ahead it just looked so good well i don't know
- 44:55Speaker 3: where we're at uh i can't see the movie the
- 45:03Speaker 3: and also yeah yeah yeah um.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Fiona is, uh, upstairs and she, she, man, some
- 45:14Speaker 1: of the choices in this movie are wild because, uh,
- 45:20Speaker 1: Barb is sleeping. Sorry.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Some of the names.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Barb is sleeping with Ian, the husband and, uh, uh,
- 45:37Speaker 1: They're in bed together, yeah. They're in bed together. The
- 45:40Speaker 1: au pair goes to sleep in the kid's same room.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Yeah, she's sleeping with the kid, but she decides that
- 45:49Speaker 3: she's going to have a... Video call?
- 45:51Speaker 1: A sex chat. A sex video call?
- 45:53Speaker 3: Where she disrobes into a pink nightie, or a pink
- 46:00Speaker 3: complete bra panty set, where she is.
- 46:07Speaker 3: The colors of the room are so bland and damp
- 46:12Speaker 3: compared to pink.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 46:14Speaker 3: So it really pops. It was such an interesting choice.
- 46:18Speaker 3: But the way she does it is so wooden. And
- 46:21Speaker 3: the choice of having her do that with the kid
- 46:25Speaker 3: in the room with the kid was... It's so weird
- 46:28Speaker 3: and kind of, like, sinister.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Very strange. And the only reason it is in there
- 46:33Speaker 1: is because, oh, we need Chucky to walk across the
- 46:36Speaker 1: screen to seem like he passed by the camera so that.
- 46:40Speaker 3: I love that. Like, fucking, like, Zoom call Chucky.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Zoom call Chucky so that Barb could be like, oh
- 46:45Speaker 1: my god, that's my kid. And then she takes her
- 46:48Speaker 1: ring off. It's just like a lot of it feels like...
- 46:53Speaker 1: I wrote this in this kind of way to like...
- 46:56Speaker 1: It's written in as your wife. It's written in as
- 46:58Speaker 1: her wife, right? But you don't... You.
- 47:00Speaker 3: Usually like written in as your wife. Today, you don't
- 47:02Speaker 3: like written in as your wife.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Maybe today I don't like written in as your wife.
- 47:05Speaker 1: But like... No, it's just like some of the stuff
- 47:08Speaker 1: feels like it just doesn't make any sense. Why would you,
- 47:12Speaker 1: as a cheating partner... Like, look at your video chat,
- 47:18Speaker 1: whether your husband is sleeping right next to you while
- 47:21Speaker 1: your au pair is sleeping next to your kid.
- 47:24Speaker 3: People do crazy shit, dude.
- 47:26Speaker 1: But also, but the fact that this giant house only
- 47:29Speaker 1: has two rooms in it.
- 47:31Speaker 3: Well, the au pair is hired to be a full-time nanny,
- 47:34Speaker 3: so she has to sleep with the kid, too.
- 47:36Speaker 1: And then Chucky just knocks over a glass of water
- 47:40Speaker 1: and it electrocutes her. And it just feels a little
- 47:44Speaker 1: bit like she's sitting in electric for a little bit.
- 47:48Speaker 3: It sets up the bad wiring of the old house.
- 47:53Speaker 3: I don't buy that. There's no electricity. There's a stormy night.
- 47:57Speaker 3: There's no electricity. There's a lot of electrical problems. And Chucky,
- 48:01Speaker 3: in general, tries the tooth always with electricity. It's a
- 48:05Speaker 3: lot of electricity stuff. But that's in keeping with Chucky.
- 48:09Speaker 3: Chucky kills people with electricity.
- 48:10Speaker 1: But it's in keeping in a way that feels a
- 48:13Speaker 1: little bit more like I can suspend my disbelief a
- 48:18Speaker 1: lot more.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Rather than my eyeball is going to cook inside my brain, specifically.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Having a Terminator-style half-face electrocution was... An interesting choice. Like,
- 48:31Speaker 3: it was very CG, like a goo face.
- 48:35Speaker 1: I also really find it.
- 48:36Speaker 3: Reminded me of Two-Face from the newer Two-Face.
- 48:39Speaker 1: The newer Two-Face. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And Chucky's, like, glam,
- 48:44Speaker 1: pasted-on face over the scars.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Dude, the fucking Trish Peta's face.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 48:51Speaker 3: He's got the, like, lip... She removes the lip injection.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Yeah, while Fiona Dorff is looking up... Tommy Wiseau on
- 49:02Speaker 1: online and, and also the screen being fuzzy as though
- 49:08Speaker 1: it's a TV, like break, breaking it away. That's like
- 49:12Speaker 1: a TV cathode. would fucking break. I loved it.
- 49:18Speaker 3: It was so stupid.
- 49:20Speaker 1: I think, you know, what would have actually been a
- 49:21Speaker 1: much more, um, a much more interesting thing if. if
- 49:27Speaker 1: they just focused on Barb, if they made Barb the
- 49:30Speaker 1: main character, like a bad person, be the main character.
- 49:34Speaker 1: And then you're like, cause like, that's an interesting dynamic.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Cause like, she's got the husband, she's got the kid.
- 49:41Speaker 3: She's got the, we do get a lot of her POV.
- 49:43Speaker 3: I think like in a way that at the, on
- 49:46Speaker 3: the time that she's on screen, it does feel like
- 49:49Speaker 3: she is the main character.
- 49:50Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. And her, her being like, uh, Oh, shut up, Ian.
- 49:56Speaker 1: don't try and involve me in your sick, twisted fantasies
- 49:59Speaker 1: of a lesbian wife with this au pair. And he's like, no,
- 50:04Speaker 1: I know you're a lesbian. I put this camera in, Chucky,
- 50:07Speaker 1: you fucking idiot. I'm going to take the kid. And
- 50:10Speaker 1: he turns out to be the good dad.
- 50:13Speaker 3: The threatening with, like, taking a kid is so, like,
- 50:17Speaker 3: It's so weird. Like, imagine you're in a relationship with
- 50:20Speaker 3: someone who would, like, fucking, like, be like, I'm gonna
- 50:23Speaker 3: fucking take you for everything you're worth. If you ever
- 50:26Speaker 3: leave me, it's like, whoa, dude, okay. Like, threatened, fucking... Anyway.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Yeah, and then him putting the earplugs in specifically to
- 50:36Speaker 1: be like, I'm not gonna hear any murder right now.
- 50:42Speaker 1: It's funny because....
- 50:45Speaker 3: I'm not going to hear any murder right now.
- 50:48Speaker 1: Well, like, the thing that suffers with Bride of Chucky
- 50:53Speaker 1: as well is that, like, a lot of the characters
- 50:55Speaker 1: don't feel likable either. Like, a lot of– everybody's kind
- 50:58Speaker 1: of unlikable in the movies post Bride of Chucky. Like– Andy,
- 51:06Speaker 1: old Andy, young Andy, and the mom. I like all
- 51:12Speaker 1: of those. Even the cop from the first one, I
- 51:14Speaker 1: was like, yeah, he's a bit of a doofus, but
- 51:18Speaker 1: he's trying. Everybody feels wholeheartedly trying. A lot of these
- 51:22Speaker 1: things are very like, movie. It's a movie. Remember, guys?
- 51:26Speaker 1: It's a movie. I know. Rather than like, I feel for,
- 51:31Speaker 1: you know, X person in movie. I did feel for
- 51:34Speaker 1: X person in movie. This, you know, it's sad that
- 51:36Speaker 1: this kid, his parents are like fucking divorced. But like,
- 51:40Speaker 1: I don't really care. Like, I don't really like any
- 51:42Speaker 1: of these people.
- 51:43Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 51:43Speaker 1: It feels a little bit in the same vein as like,
- 51:47Speaker 1: I do want these people to kind of die and watch,
- 51:50Speaker 1: enjoy the.
- 51:51Speaker 3: Watching them die, you know? I didn't think that. I
- 51:55Speaker 3: kind of knew they were going to, but I didn't
- 51:58Speaker 3: want them to. And they don't all die, actually. It's
- 52:03Speaker 3: a weirdly tragic ending, which we'll talk about.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Sorry about this.
- 52:10Speaker 3: It's just loading. I mean, Fiona Dorff's character has a
- 52:14Speaker 3: very tragic ending.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Yeah, that I really liked. That I really, really enjoyed.
- 52:21Speaker 1: It's like a.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Very inspired choice.
- 52:24Speaker 1: It felt like Andy. It felt like Andy at the
- 52:27Speaker 1: end of the third one.
- 52:30Speaker 3: The crushing line was like, she's like, you didn't kill Andy.
- 52:34Speaker 3: And he was like, I fucking might as well have.
- 52:36Speaker 3: I killed his childhood. I was so fucked up. To
- 52:40Speaker 3: hear Chucky acknowledge it. When Chucky finally starts to reveal
- 52:44Speaker 3: himself and the way that all of the murders precipitate,
- 52:47Speaker 3: it really feels like it plays out Like, you're just like, oh,
- 52:52Speaker 3: these are just like the consequences of like this, like
- 52:54Speaker 3: now slasher movie. And we get the slasher moment of it.
- 52:58Speaker 3: Like we get kind of like the like. It's kind
- 53:01Speaker 3: of almost like it felt like a Jason part, you know?
- 53:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 53:05Speaker 3: It felt like he's going to do the killings now.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. This scene is where Barb picks up the
- 53:14Speaker 1: doll and also finally confronts her sister about like, what?
- 53:17Speaker 1: You knew that there was the... But they keep interrupting
- 53:20Speaker 1: each other so that they don't know. One doesn't know
- 53:23Speaker 1: that she's talking about the camera in the doll. And
- 53:27Speaker 1: the other doesn't know that Chuggie's actually possessed by Charles
- 53:30Speaker 1: Lee Ray.
- 53:31Speaker 3: It's like a frustrating... It's a frustrating loop where the
- 53:37Speaker 3: argument becomes about a different thing. Like, it becomes about
- 53:41Speaker 3: the sisterly hurt that exists between the two of them.
- 53:44Speaker 3: And they stop listening to each other, kind of. Especially Barbie.
- 53:47Speaker 3: Barbie's like... unable to hear her sister because she's just
- 53:51Speaker 3: like focused on how hurt by her sister she is
- 53:54Speaker 3: yeah and like how sort of like kind of betrayed
- 53:58Speaker 3: she feels i guess or like i don't know it
- 54:01Speaker 3: feels like there's like a hole in her that she
- 54:04Speaker 3: needs to that she needs to fill um and as
- 54:09Speaker 3: a result she she walks away and goes into the
- 54:11Speaker 3: attic with the doll right.
- 54:14Speaker 1: Yeah, she goes into the attic with the doll, but
- 54:16Speaker 1: because there's no electricity, the elevator doesn't work. So Nika
- 54:21Speaker 1: has to drag herself up the stairs.
- 54:25Speaker 3: Oh, man. It was a dramatic shot. Again, a lot
- 54:28Speaker 3: of shot from above, Chucky.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. And then Barb goes to check Chucky's camera,
- 54:39Speaker 1: but she ends up pulling out a knife. And she's like,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in Alice. Trying to hide. And there's just
- 54:47Speaker 1: wheelchairs everywhere in this house. Spare wheelchairs.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
- 54:50Speaker 1: Of course. When you're born.
- 54:52Speaker 3: Paraplegic, you have to have a series of... Paraplegic, you
- 54:55Speaker 3: have to have a.
- 54:56Speaker 1: Series of wheelchairs. And then it cuts to Barb putting
- 55:03Speaker 1: the doll down, looking around... for Alice. And then she
- 55:07Speaker 1: turns and she, she sees Chucky's like a deformed, like
- 55:12Speaker 1: face just kind of peeling.
- 55:14Speaker 3: And she fucking like dissolves Chucky's filler. She dissolves all
- 55:22Speaker 3: of Chucky's. She, she, the, she flushes out the Botox
- 55:25Speaker 3: through his fucking limbic system or lymphatic system. And, uh, she,
- 55:31Speaker 3: she gives him a little like, kind of like a
- 55:33Speaker 3: lymph drainage massage and, And the color comes back to
- 55:37Speaker 3: his face, dude. We see the stitch line, dude, from
- 55:43Speaker 3: where the pussy closed over. And he's stitched up, dude.
- 55:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and it looks a lot better than the rest
- 55:52Speaker 1: of the movie. It looks more like Chucky.
- 55:55Speaker 3: We get tiny glimpses of Michael Powers' face in this one.
- 55:59Speaker 3: But not a lot of Michael Powers' face.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Unfortunately. Unfortunately. And then Barb is like, Alice, Alice is mine.
- 56:08Speaker 1: And now she knows there is no God.
- 56:13Speaker 3: I kind of felt like the Chucky was so different
- 56:19Speaker 3: that I like. it could have been voiced by someone else.
- 56:22Speaker 1: I think this Chucky could have been voiced by someone else. Yeah, 100%.
- 56:26Speaker 3: Until we see that Brad Dourif is the main Tommy
- 56:31Speaker 3: Wiseau in this movie.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. And it's, you know, he stabs her in
- 56:36Speaker 1: the eye and it pops out. And then it rolls
- 56:39Speaker 1: down the steps. And the way they designed it to, like,
- 56:44Speaker 1: have mushed the way it fell, like, bounced.
- 56:48Speaker 3: Totally did.
- 56:48Speaker 1: It was so gross.
- 56:49Speaker 3: It was so gross. I called it a CGI vault.
- 56:53Speaker 1: And then weird Chucky CGI walking down the stairs. Like,
- 56:58Speaker 1: very strange looking.
- 56:59Speaker 3: Like a fucking Ricketts Chucky.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 57:03Speaker 3: I love the way Chucky moved in this one.
- 57:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 57:05Speaker 3: I think it was incredible.
- 57:07Speaker 1: It was incredible. It feels very strange. It's like, it's
- 57:12Speaker 1: kind of like terrifying. It's scary. It looks kind of
- 57:16Speaker 1: like they did Claymation.
- 57:18Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, totally. Because what they did do.
- 57:20Speaker 1: Because there's a joltiness.
- 57:21Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a joltiness.
- 57:22Speaker 1: But what they did do is basically Claymation because they
- 57:25Speaker 1: just like a weird, yeah, the like green screen puppeteer.
- 57:30Speaker 3: But I also sometimes like when Chucky is, like, they
- 57:33Speaker 3: intercut this kind of movement. It's animatronics versus puppeteering, and, like,
- 57:39Speaker 3: What I liked was sometimes there was still little person
- 57:41Speaker 3: acting in this one.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Well, there was like a full tiny person this time.
- 57:46Speaker 1: It didn't feel like a little person. It felt like
- 57:48Speaker 1: a full person.
- 57:49Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 57:50Speaker 1: A full person. A taller than dwarfism person. And then
- 57:57Speaker 1: Fiona goes to Ian and she's like... Like, oh my god,
- 58:03Speaker 1: your wife is dead, and I don't know where Alice is.
- 58:05Speaker 1: And he's like, what? What are you talking about? And
- 58:08Speaker 1: who the fuck is Chucky? And he obviously doesn't believe her.
- 58:14Speaker 1: He just sees the dead au pair, and he thinks
- 58:20Speaker 1: she's crazy.
- 58:24Speaker 3: I kind of like the way Chucky sets Fiona up
- 58:28Speaker 3: perfectly for... For, like, to be... Gaslit by the end. No,
- 58:35Speaker 3: but even later to get arrested for this crime.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. And then, like, this stuff I did like,
- 58:48Speaker 1: where it's like... The kills? Yeah. Well, the kills are
- 58:52Speaker 1: pretty good, but... It felt pretty, like, canon Chucky. Yeah, this.
- 58:56Speaker 3: He uses a variety of techniques.
- 58:58Speaker 1: Yeah, well, like, this idea that also he's like, I
- 59:03Speaker 1: don't know what a Chucky is, okay? I don't know
- 59:07Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I don't know what... he's like,
- 59:11Speaker 1: a lot of it is like, Chucky's going to do this.
- 59:15Speaker 1: And it's like, dude, I don't have the context for this.
- 59:17Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. I don't
- 59:20Speaker 1: know where my daughter is.
- 59:21Speaker 3: I don't have the context for a Chucky. Yeah, but
- 59:26Speaker 3: I like that about it.
- 59:28Speaker 1: But also, like, I'm curious as to what Alice... What
- 59:31Speaker 1: he has in mind for Alice. Because it's like, are
- 59:34Speaker 1: you gonna be... This was what made me angry about
- 59:37Speaker 1: the ending. Was because you've got Chucky trying to murder
- 59:43Speaker 1: people by turning on the car in the garage. Locking
- 59:49Speaker 1: her in. Locking Fiona Dourif in. And then... Um... Ian
- 59:56Speaker 1: comes in, he's like, Nico, what are you doing? Like,
- 59:59Speaker 1: why are you trying to kill yourself? And then he, like,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: grabs the axe and, like, is like, did you kill Alice?
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: I like this part because it's kind of like, it
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: creates the tension of a different problem, right? Suddenly, it's
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: not like, you know, you just have to be scared
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: of Chucky anymore. You're scared of, like, the, like, misunderstanding
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: that's happening. And already, like, the sister is set up
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: um barb has set up her sister as like incompetent
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: unable to do things so like the brother kind of
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: is like shit you are a fuck up now or
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: something you know or he's thinking you could possibly that
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: could possibly be.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: True totally but like we're like an hour and eight
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: minutes in and we're just getting that now rather than
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: like in the second one when kyle is like oh no,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: he's like a good kid. And the dad is like,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I don't trust this kid. And he's like looking for reasons.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: Whereas the mom and Kyle, Kyle knows the kid. We'll
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: talk about Kyle later on.
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, dude. Of course.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: What brings you to sacred fellowship, Kyle?
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, like we get this
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: like heart medicine scene. I hated the heart medicine scene.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: Oh, well, okay. Sorry. We should say that during the
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: fight or like before that, Barb has a conversation with,
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: her sister about if you have this certain kind of
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: type of paralysis, you're more susceptible to having like a
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: sudden heart attack or something. So you have to have
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: like this medication to like help her out. And she's like,
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: you're already under a lot of stress, a really stressful,
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: scary thing could set it off. So that's a try
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: the tooth moment to tell us that this is going
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: to happen in the movie.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: She actually is like, I just never felt the stakes
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: of her, like, needing any... She looks so healthy in
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: the movie that I'm like, well, you're paraplegic, but, like, whatever,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: you know?
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: Well, you know, disabilities look differently, but yes.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: And then she, like, faints, and then Chucky's also obviously
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: been doing some work tying her to... shibari chucky dude
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: shibari chucky well it's not it's ian actually is doing
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: the shibari.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah this time it's bondage.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Bondage ian because he didn't get enough love at home
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: that he has to try new things.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: Yeah and he did the au pair rejected him dude of.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Course And then he starts looking through the footage of.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: Man, this part was so weird. And then he catches
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: up to the live footage.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Which, I thought that was cool. I thought that was
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: really great.
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: And him seeing the things happen, like a Chucky hand
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: opening the door, like POV Chucky. He's like POV doing
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: Bordo Chucky, like getting a blowjob.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: But imagine this. Imagine we had, from the perspective of Barb...
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: and we're seeing oh he's like suspicious of Barb and
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: like he like you know we get like little bits
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: of like the relationship and like you know, some stuff
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: that's like driving the narrative forward rather than like, everything
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: feels a little bit like, I want to get to
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: this cool thing. How could I write it to get
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: to this cool thing? Rather than I'm naturally... Oh.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: This is written and this thing happened because this thing happened.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: This thing, yeah. Yeah, like thinking in reverse of things. Yeah,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: it feels very, and then this, and then this, and
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: then this.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: But I think that it does that because it's metamodern, dude. Yeah,
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: but I do. I do think that, but that's okay.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: You don't agree.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: And then it catches up to, but then it catches
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: up to the live stuff and Chucky is like, and
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: you better keep your fucking mouth shut. And the kid
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: is like, like, thanks, Chucky. And it's like, didn't in
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: the last... Hey, Chucky, don't swear. In the last scene,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: didn't you said, you should be fucking scared to this
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: kid who's scared, but now she's like having a good time.
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Like, chucky stop cursing.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: Dude i downloaded such weird captions for this movie they
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: were like really large and a weird font they were
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: kind of i was like what is this oh.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: Man but they bring back balding chucky too it's like
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: they he ripped out the the or they fell out
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: and he had trauma so they didn't grow back.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: It's true the body rejected it dude Dude.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: That's so scary.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: Those people who get, like, balloon heads. There's, like, liquid
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: in their head so they can slosh it around inside.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Then you take your PVA glue and you slosh it on.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Oh, and then it's finally revealed, the live feed, and
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: Chucky fucking... uh mushes ian's face with the axe he
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: like cuts off is it is it cake it totally
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: is is it cake he.
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: Fucking crushes eminem crushes his face and like again blood
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: starts there's a lot of blood starts in this.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: Movie yeah for sure and no serbian people no serbian
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: people Other than kind of like Dorif as Wiseau looked
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: a little Serbian. A little bit Serbian. And then, yeah,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Chucky goes to chop her leg and it gets stuck.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: And she's like, my turn, bitch. And she doesn't feel anything.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: She doesn't know.
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: Yeah. So, like, we get, like, you know, my disability
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: is my power in this moment. It's true. And I
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: think that was, like, you know, that was a cool,
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: cool fucking shot.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: And then they knock Chucky's head off, even though canonically, consistently,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Chucky's been goo inside. Yeah, he was very dull in
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: this one. He was very dull. And then he picks
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: up his own head and, like, puts it back on.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: And then he pushes her off the stairs and she, like,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: falls down. Oh, man.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: That was, like, harrowing.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: And that undershot of her, like, falling over was, like, cool.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: Like, it was like, did they really shoot this?
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: And then she goes, you're Charles Lee Ray. And he goes,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: my friends call me Chucky. You're dead. And then there's
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: literally a 20-minute background fill-in. Saw background.
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: It's a Saw-style fill-in where, like... you we get a
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: how do you do fellow kids so how do you
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: do fellow kids with with like the most insane wig
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: like the most insane tommy wiseau like teased at the
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: sides wig to give it like weird crust volume uh
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: he was very crusty chucky in this like charles.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Lee right And then the guy who's Charles Lee Ray.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: But there's a guy who knows Charles Lee Ray in
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: the movie. And it's like, is that supposed to be
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: his friend from Chicago? Remember Eddie from Chicago?
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: From Chicago.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: And then they cast this fat little girl.
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: It's fucking Eddie.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: Tracy Caputo, dude.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Eddie Caputo.
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: It's Eddie Caputo.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: And then they cast this, like, fat little girl to be, like,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: a clearly, like... Yeah, she's like, oh, this girl grew
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: up to hate herself because she was a cute fat
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: little girl. That's Barbie. That's Barbie, yeah. You have your
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: mother's eyes! And then, yeah, they show this, like, oh,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: he's in this weird cave where he kidnaps the mom.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: And she's the one who... It's revealed that she's the
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: one who called the cops that was from the first movie.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: And then showing footage of him young is so weird
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: to Goddras. To combine, but it weirdly combined. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: he looks mostly.
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: He kind of gave us steps, you know?
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Yeah, he mostly looks the same, except for a little
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: bit old man bloat.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: Sorry, I need to pause this for a second, because
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: one thing you didn't set up earlier that I just
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: remembered that's going to be important right now... is that
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: Fiona Dorff's character... What's her name?
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Nika.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: Fiona Dorff's character, Nika, is.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: Smart.
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: She went to university and was getting a degree in
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: a psychological thing.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: Where she was doing her thesis on the completion syndrome
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: or something like that.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the... Fuck, what was it?
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: It's kind of like a, it's like a theory that
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: like men or males need to finish something, need to
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: finish a job. Yeah. Like, something to that effect. It's
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: like a psychological study or something. Yeah, totally. But it's
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: important because we'll see why. Well, tell us why, dude. Well,
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: because here, during this, like, huge lore drop at the end,
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: we get that, like, he was... you know, became a
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: part of the family kind of, and like, was like
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: weirdly holding the mom hostage, uh, and kind of like
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: terrorizing them, I guess it was that what was going on. Yeah.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Why would you want to destroy this family? You destroyed
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: my family. And it's just, like, it's just too much
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: of this is just, like, I'm going to explain. This
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: is the twist. This is the twist of the movie. Like,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: it just feels like there's no setup. There's no, like,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: feeling that it's, like.
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: Right. Well, like, just that he was, like, involved. I think, like,
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: to me, it read okay because it was tying up loops. Like,
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: we get, it's kind of, it becomes interquel Chucky because, like...
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: It's very interquel Chucky. We get, like, we get incepted
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: scenes where, like... Right after this, it drives him to
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: go to the toy store where he gets shot and murdered.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: But so, like, are we to believe that during this.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: And he doesn't have the amulet in this one, dude.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: You saw it so prominently in the first movie, dude.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Remember in the first movie where there's a picture of
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: Charles Lee Ray dead and he's got an amulet on him?
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: Incepted kill.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: And then he stabs the pregnant lady with... With a
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: butcher's knife. With a knife. And then Fiona's immediately like,
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: you did this to me. And he's like, yep, that's right. I,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Charles Lee Ray, did this to you.
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: And he's come to finish the job, dude. He wants
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: like the entire family to suffer.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: And he wants to get rid of all of them.
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: I mean, who cares, dude? They never explained anything in
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: the other Chucky's. Who cares about his... You don't think
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: that this is a good motivation? I think Chucky becoming, like,
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: cosmically vindictive because he's just, like, wants to settle old
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: bets because now he's eternal Chucky is a great reason to, like.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: To veer off into this storyline.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: Honestly, like, there are some times where I write out a... Like, treatment.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is a really good treatment. But
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: then when I, like, kind of write the first draft,
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: I'm like, this is not a good movie. Like, it
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: has all the things that I really appreciate. And the
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: thing that you're right about is, it's not that I
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: think that you're wrong about how you feel about the movie.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: I want to be able to feel all those things
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: about this movie. It's just a bad movie. You know
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: what I mean? Whereas, like, for me, all of the ideas...
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: I disagree.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: I actually don't think it's a bad... I disagree with
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: that on principle.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: No, I mean, I think that's totally fine. I'm just
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: saying that all the stuff that interests me... What I'm
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: watching a movie is about how it makes me feel, right?
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: And then the ideas and conceptualizations kind of happen afterwards,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, okay, I can sort of justify this.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: But this movie didn't really make me feel anything but
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: resentment towards it, because I have such a nice canon
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: of stuff that, to me, is... interesting ideas presented in
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: an interesting way, rather than.
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: And you don't think this one did that?
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: No, I don't. I just think that nobody has any
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: motivation for anything except for Chucky, and we only get
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: his perspective in the last 15 minutes of the movie. Well, yeah,
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: they do.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: They have a whole family dynamic. They have a whole.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Well, the dynamics are motivations. They have no goal. They
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: have no thing in the movie, right? It's just all
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: kind of... They don't even have a mystery to follow, right?
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: Whereas, like, if the movie was set from the perspective
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: of Barb and the husband, the husband has motivation for this.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: The wife, the mom has motivation to get the house.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, there's much stronger motivations
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: on their part.
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: We got to speed run this because you have to
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: leave soon.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: I was just going to say, you know, like this
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: ending where she gets Arkham Asylum. Oh, yeah.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: It's very Arkham Asylum. She like traps herself in the
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: elevator and then Chucky's like cutting her fingers and shit
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: while being closed in. Yeah.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: And then the cop comes and there's like the most
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: insane zoom on his face that I've ever seen. It
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: was such a weird choice, but like I think actually
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: pretty inspired. Good director, Don Mancini, on this one. I
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: think it was well-directed, dude. Do you at least agree
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: with that?
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just like it feels off. All
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: of it feels very off. I'd have to think about
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: it a lot more.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Well, I hope I've given you some food for thought.
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: I think so.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Chucky gets stabbed. But again, I'm like, is this going
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: to be... a thing where I'm like, is he going
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: to survive? Like, why? What is he getting stabbed into
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: if his head has already come off, you know? And
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: then when I did, like, this thing where she pulls
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: out the knife and the, like, stuffing or whatever, I
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: was like, that's a really good choice. That was really,
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: really nicely done. And then... Yeah, we get Chucky is, like,
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: sitting there and, like.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Fiona Dorff getting sent in to the criminally insane. It
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: was like, it just like, again, like so much of these,
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: these things, this was cool. I liked all of this,
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: like her getting sent into the criminally insane. Like then
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: we get, Okay, well, Tiffany is back. She's gonna fucking
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: cut the.
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: Okay, so it's kind of like a secret interquel ending
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: where it's a fake-out interquel ending where we get a
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: parallel scene to how Officer Bailey stole the evidence of
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: Chucky in order to send it to... tiff but now
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: tiff is in the back and she cuts the throat
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: of officer of this incepted officer bailey and then we
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: get that she's been on basically a revenge mission and
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: it kind of this is what's cool because it makes
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: the title make sense of curse of chucky the curse
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: is actually that she's like aiding and abetting his murders
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: and like now as jennifer tilly just like going and
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: like like fedexing him to all of these exotic locations
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: for him to like settle old scores which you know
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: It's outrageous, but it's no more outrageous than what the
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: other Chucky movies have been and is a motivation so far.
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: So I just thought it was like really fun way
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: to bring back the camp at the end. Yeah.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I don't, I don't disagree with that aspect.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: It's just that the vehicle for the things you're describing
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: isn't good. It's kind of like a Tesla where it's like, wow,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: these are so many good ideas here in a really
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: crappy car. You know what I mean? I like that idea.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: I think those are cool ideas.
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: Birchbeckler's cool idea.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Cool idea. Yeah, exactly. I think that even the FedExing
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Chucky everywhere is like a really– that's a great idea.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: It's just why not– To have, like, side missions. Yeah,
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: why not just have... Like, why not play in the
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: box that you've been given rather than, like, having this, like,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: weird roundabout, like, wraparound... So far, I have a theory
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: that I'm gonna dislike every other Chucky movie. Because so far,
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: it has been.
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: Well, we only have one left, right? Yeah.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: So, hopefully, Cult of Chucky is going to be even
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: better than this one. Because, like, for me, I liked
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: the first one, didn't really like the second one. The
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: third one, I loved. The fourth one, I didn't. The
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: fifth one, I was like, yeah, you know, I mean,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: maybe I'm bad.
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I was first one I loved.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: Second one, I also kind of was disappointed by. Third one,
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: I loved. Fourth one, I loved. Fifth one, I was like, eh,
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: I don't know. And then this one I loved. So,
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: so far, I'm more like, I more like this series
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: than you do.
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: So, what about this? i'm gonna challenge you now yeah
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: i'm gonna challenge you let's hear it um okay chucky
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: in a little girl and then a post-credit sequence where
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: he's just back as himself and gets sent to andy
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: it feels like what is he how they do he
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: demoing about when when is this stuff happening why is
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: there a post-credit sequence in this movie where andy gets
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: fucking where andy has a shotgun i think like i
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: mean i love the thing i don't think we need
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: to take the andy uh um stuff as canon i
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: will say that well okay okay I was very excited
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: about you finding out that Andy was in this, but
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: you spoiled that about yourself.
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: Seeing Andy's face made me cry today.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: I was like, he's still good, dude.
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: Dude, he's amazing. He's actually a really good actor. He's
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: a really good actor. He's the same embodied Andy, dude.
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: Seeing someone that many years later.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: I was like, oh no. I started crying, I swear.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: I was like, but him like methodically deciding that him
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: doing his completion anxiety dude and like carrying out because
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: she in four implies that she informed andy that chucky's
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: real and he's back and he's gonna get him did
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: you did you get that no fiona notified andy ah.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: Of course of course that's why she's looking up that's.
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: Why she mentions the completion anxiety because she's like people
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: need to complete a thing and you're you're gonna see
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: the results of.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: That right right nice so.
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: Seeing that came come together at the end felt very
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: much like i was like.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: Yeah Well, you know what? This was the last movie
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: that I've seen. I don't think I've seen Cult of Chucky.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: I might have, but I don't think so.
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: How many Dambalas would you give it?
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Well, I mean, probably like three Dambalas.
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: What?
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Because there's no voodoo. There's no... It's very like... ignore
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: a lot of the lore.
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: Well, listen, I like Pivot Chucky. I like Total Shift Chucky.
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: I'm going to say, I'm going to give it a 7.5.
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: 7.5?
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, dude. I fucking love this movie. And I
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: would give it a 10 out of 10, dude. 10
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: out of 10? I would give this movie a 10
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: out of 10.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Wow! I loved it. I loved it. It was so true.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: I'm so happy. I'm very happy.
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: How much would you give it as a movie?
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Probably a five. Maybe even a four, dude. It's like
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: such a bad movie.
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: It's such a bad movie.
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: I didn't hate it. I didn't hate it. I just,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: I really found it very forgettable. A lot of it
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: felt very forgettable to me. Well, I mean, as I
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: disagree with... But this conversation felt....
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: Chucky.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Chucky. Chucky. I love that. I think, honestly, I love
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: your reaction to it. I love the fact that you
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: loved it so much. It makes me laugh so much
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: that you loved it.
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: I just want to say some stuff for the end.
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: I think that, like... I think that this movie... Here,
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: hold on. Let me just read it again, what I
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: had to say. Oh, I just want to say that
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: I really like the picture of Kyle and Catherine.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: Weeks at the end.
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, totally.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Yeah, at the end with the production stills.
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: I was down.
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: For some reason, I was okay with it being production
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: stills in this one. It felt appropriate. I'm pretty excited
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: about the next one.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: I was... I've been so excited to watch every single one, honestly.
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: And today, I was overcome with... I was so excited
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: to talk to you about this movie.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So, I'm pretty excited for the ending. And
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: we're going to do the show, too. You know what? Like,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of scenes from the show.
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: If you want.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: Looks pretty good.
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: If you want, I wouldn't mind just watching the whole
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: series that's been released. There's no other episodes. And just
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: talk about the series as a whole.
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: Just.
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: It can also be kind of like amusing on Chucky.
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: It doesn't need to be like.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea.
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: Just like a one episode. It's like a one-off Chucky special.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Alright.
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: See you guys next week.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: I can be late, but....
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: I was really shocked that you had the reaction to
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: this movie that you did because I just– I was
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: expecting– I don't know. I don't know what I was expecting.
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: I just thought that like watching it, I felt like
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: so many of the choices were so inspired. And it's
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: exactly the kind of thing that I felt like you
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: were– you said that you were looking for or wanting
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: to see in a Chucky movie that were realized that
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: I felt like you didn't really like– When they actually happened,
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: you didn't really care that much.
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that there's a certain level of...
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: Not feeling. There's a certain level of craftsmanship that I
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: need to be lulled into a movie. And it feels
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: just kind of like it was a very.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: Budget very even even with with the budgetness it was
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: very it felt a little compromised uh in ways that
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: the other ones didn't feel compromised like it it was
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: like low budget in a bad way like you like
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: you can kind of see the seams of everything but
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: but i mean You've given me a lot to think about.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: I'm very happy with how excited you were about it.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: It didn't change my mind too much. At other times,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: I feel like you've changed my mind in ways where
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: I'm like, I can rethink about this in a different way,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: but I just feel like I have too much context
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: for what both that what I want Chucky to be
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: and also what, what Chucky has been so far. And like,
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: like having those kind of blinders on maybe is like
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: making it very difficult for me to like transcend the,
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: the experience that I had with it. Uh, but yeah, I,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: I just like there, there's a little bit of, uh,
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: Of a disconnect that I feel with digital, Chucky. Digital
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: seemed like it was like a barrier for me. So
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: I might have to think about it. That's why I'm
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: like kind of excited for the next one because it's like, well,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: I'm past that barrier. I can sit and enjoy this
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: a little more. You know what I mean? And I
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: feel like the shitty thing about the first one and
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: the second one so closely together, watching it so closely together,
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: it made me enjoy the second one less, which I've
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: historically enjoyed quite a bit.
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: Dude, the biggest shock of this series is that the
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: second one is mid.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just kind of like– this one– again,
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: you brought up some stuff where I'm like, okay, well,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: those are interesting ideas. I don't know how much I'm–
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: I don't like seeing this as a good representation of
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: those ideas, but I can see them. I can see
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: that they could be there, but I'd have to watch
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: it again, which I'm like, I don't know if I'm
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: going to watch this for a long, long time. So
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: we'll see. I think that's fair. Yeah.
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I would give it a second chance
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: if I were you. I've been really excited to, like,
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: even with Anna, because she skipped Seed of Chucky, and
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: I really actually want to watch it with her again. Because, like,
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: even though I remember it being probably among my least favourites,
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: I'm like, I still want to see it. Like, I
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: still want her to see it, you know?
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I would be interested in her perspective
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: on that one. Because I think that.
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: By the way, she was loving this one.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, fair enough. I want to know her
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: views on this one. It's all, like, to me, something
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: that I forgot to say, and that's why I'm recording
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: this and I'm going to send it to you.
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: Like, it....
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: I'm not giving it enough... I'm not giving it enough...
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: I'm being a little too hard on it, I realized,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: because of the fact that if we look at something
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: like the Freddy series or the Jason series, they take
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: more wild choices than... Chucky does and I judge them
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: a little bit less. Uh, I don't know. I don't know.
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: I'd have like, I'm, I'm like thinking about it being like,
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: you know, there's like a whole Jason movie where Jason's
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: like a weird alien thing that travels from people to people.
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: Like those are choices that, that like if Chucky made them,
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: I might be a little bit more harsh towards Chucky,
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: but like, yeah, You know, I feel like when I
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: watch Jason be like a weird alien monster, it's like
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: it's a through line. You know what I mean? Whereas
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: like this felt like it just didn't have a through
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: line and it's all kind of compacted at the end,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: you know?
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: Right. What's compact? Oh, it's just kind of like thrown
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: together at the end.
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Like there's stuff that that doesn't. I say
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: this a lot, but like, I feel like if a
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: thing doesn't like cohere at the end, like there have
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: been movies that I've watched where I'm like, I don't
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: like this. And then like something happens at the end
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: where it like fuses all of the ideas I hated
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: into an idea. I'm like, Oh my God, actually, this
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: is fucking awesome.
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: That's what that's the, I, and I love, I love
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: when that happens. I love– I've had books where that
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: happens where I'm reading it. I'm like– I'm reading it
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: and the whole time I'm like I fucking hate this garbage.
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: This is dumb.
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: And then I keep reading it. I'm like, oh, no.
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: This is amazing.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Like sometimes where it can like feel like, oh,
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: my god. This is like a fucking slog. And then
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: you get to, and you're like, wow, all of that
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: was justified somehow. Um, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm curious about what,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: what case things I'm curious about, what other things. Uh,
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: and yeah. So like, if you want, I can send
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: you this and you can put this in. Sure.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, this was, this was my, this was like,
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: I think, uh, My favorite one, maybe after the first one.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: Oh, wow. What? Really? Wow. I don't know.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: That's great. I did really like it. Like my experience
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: of it right now feels like that. I mean, I
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: give it a 10, dude. The only other one I
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: gave a 10 was the first one. But yeah, like,
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: you know, it is still, it is still like it
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: suffers from the, like, from just the idea of being
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: a simulacrum, which, you know, like, it's very simulacrum, which
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: we talk about a lot, but I feel like. the
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: ideas that it allows itself to explore kind of ends
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: up justifying it, which is a lot of what I've
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: noticed being a theme in Chucky is like, it's like,
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: it allows itself to be justified by the themes that
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: it explores.
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 1:29:55Speaker 3: And, and so I, you know, like, can I fault
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: it too much for being like a part seven of
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: a movie? You know what I mean? I don't know.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: It's hard. Yeah. That's the thing.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: Yeah, like, you know, the fact that it's still doing
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: stuff that, to me, kind of, like, hits a ping
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: and there's an excitement. And, like, it's... You know, this
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: is what I was going to say. You know, it
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: felt like it wasn't condescending fan service. It felt very
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: thoughtful fan service.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: You know what? I agree with that. I 100% agree
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: with that. It did... it's very, very different than a
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: lot of the other ones. And that's a good thing.
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: I will always, I will always think to myself like, Hey,
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: like you tried and failed, but you tried. Uh, and that's,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: and that's, I, I definitely agree with that. Like, I
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: think that that's, that's a very, um, yeah, that's a very,
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: that's a very good point. It's not like the other ones, uh,
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: But at the same time, it is trying to take
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: the lore in a different direction. Yeah. Why not? Right. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: And it's like it's like, you know, if you can
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: make a good movie and then also if you can
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: if you were able to see the acting in that
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: movie as good, I think it would have changed your
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: idea of the movie.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: But I think you were a little... Forgive me if.
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: I'm presuming, but I feel like you were a little
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: dismissive of it too early in order to give the
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: acting choices a chance and things like that.
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I could think
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: about that. I don't know how I felt about... Yeah,
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: the acting and the writing, I don't know how I
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: felt about it, but... I'll, I'll, I'll, I mean, I
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: don't know.
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: Yeah. I just, I, yeah, I don't know. I don't
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: know what to me would like, I just felt like
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: I got what the.
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: Movie was doing.
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: And then I feel like the, the actors were just
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: delivering what, what the, what the movie wanted to say.
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Fair enough, dude.
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: I'd have to think about it more, but yeah, anyway, I'll,
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: I'll send this to you. Uh, but I also, I'll
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: stop this now.
