• 0:06
  Hello, what's your least favorite scary movie?
• 0:12
  Hi, I'm Chucky. I'm your friend to the end.
• 0:15
  Heidi Ho. Welcome to watching.
• 0:19
  Scary movie The. Podcast where we talk about the
• 0:21
  good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd and all of our favorite.
• 0:24
  And least favorite scary movies because we believe every horror
• 0:27
  movie rightfully has this fan base.

  Even if we don't always get it. My name is Travis.
• 0:31
  My name is Jesse. And welcome to a brand new
• 0:33
  franchise everybody. Yeah, we have finished our Saw
• 0:38
  franchise and we have our wrap up that released this past
• 0:41
  weekend. So now it is time for us to go
• 0:44
  into Child's Play. We're gonna be tackling Chucky.
• 0:47
  Yeah, yeah. So for the next several months,
• 0:50
  TuneIn in the midst of all of our other movie coverage, once a
• 0:54
  month we will be covering a movie from the Chucky franchise
• 0:57
  in chronological order, and we're very excited about this.
• 1:00
  Very much, yes, yes, yes. OK.
• 1:03
  So do we have anything that we need to announce?
• 1:06
  So as Travis already said, we do have our saw wrap up that came
• 1:11
  out as a bonus episode this past Sunday.

  Check it out. We're a mess.
• 1:15
  It was fun. Those are live and unedited.
• 1:18
  So it just it. It is what?
• 1:19
  It is. And then just a reminder, this
• 1:24

  Yeah, as long as you do it before, before July 1st so yeah
• 2:07
  and, and you can unsubscribe right away if you want, but or,
• 2:11
  or you can hang around for a little bit and see some of the
• 2:14
  goodies We. Have in there.
• 2:15
  Yeah. Enjoy it.
• 2:16
  Yeah. OK, so I have our poll results
• 2:20
  from last week's movie, and we talked about freaky, freaky.
• 2:24
  And I wanted to ask everybody, if Vince Vaughn were
• 2:29
  unavailable, who would you pick to play the Butcher?
• 2:33
  I had four people, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, David Cross and
• 2:38
  Owen Wilson. I came up with these four
• 2:40
  because I just was trying to figure out big comedic actors of
• 2:45
  that era that Vince Vaughn was very big in.
• 2:48
  OK. And these four all kind of fit
• 2:51
  that David Cross not really been like a big time guy, but I like
• 2:55
  him. Why?
• 2:55
  And I I thought about him. It's like he would be like a fun
• 2:58
  fit for this. And I like to say that I have a
• 3:00
  David Cross tattoo because in a way I do.
• 3:02
  I have a evo tattoo from Futurama, but Evo's voiced by
• 3:07
  David Cross. So OK, over on Instagram, 11%
• 3:12
  would want Jim Carrey, 33% Ben Stiller, 33% David Cross, 22%
• 3:19
  Owen Wilson. OK, Twitter 41% Jim Carrey, 24%
• 3:25
  Ben Stiller, 24% David Cross, 11% Owen Wilson.
• 3:31
  OK. So God, man, that's pretty
• 3:35
  close. Ben Stiller and David cross time
• 3:38
  on both platforms. I would give them the win they
• 3:41
  they tie for the win there. Yeah.
• 3:42
  OK. Realistically, I think out of
• 3:46
  all of those, the ones that the one that would be the best in
• 3:52
  this role would be David Cross. That was my thought too, and
• 3:55
  that's who I've picked. But there's also another part of
• 3:58
  me that wants to pick Owen Wilson just because I have this
• 4:01
  ongoing thing. Every time I see one of the
• 4:03
  Wilson brothers I'm like Owen could do Lukes roles but Luke
• 4:07
  couldn't do Owens roles. Well we had somebody point out
• 4:10
  in the comments that he did play a serial killer in a movie that
• 4:15
  is a non comedy so he can do it. I think he could do it.
• 4:19
  I just think David Cross. If David Cross wasn't on the
• 4:21
  list, Owen Wilson would be my pick for sure.
• 4:23
  But I think David Cross edges him out just a little bit.
• 4:25
  Because David Cross might be a legit maniac.
• 4:28
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:29
  I picked David Cross, we had one right.
• 4:31
  And by the way, Joe Fricatron, he picked Will Ferrell.
• 4:35
  He's he gave a great reasoning because he's the only one that
• 4:39
  can match like the physical, like imposing figure of Vince
• 4:44
  Vaughn by being a big dude, which is a big part of that
• 4:47
  movie, I guess, being that character.
• 4:49
  But right around it, if you're doing David Cross, like, hey,
• 4:53
  I've got like a fucking mustache and like.
• 4:55
  Yeah, he's at the He's sporting the full beard now.
• 4:58
  Yeah, and like, you know, he's just a fucking awesome comedic
• 5:03
  actor, so he's my pick. OK OK, All right, let's talk
• 5:07
  about Child's Play. Okie, Dokie.
• 5:11
  I'm waving my arms in the air. So you're just everyone?
• 5:15
  Knows all right, so Child's Play released November 9th, 1988.
• 5:19
  We watched it on our 4K Blu-ray. I'm sorry on our what?
• 5:23

  Birthday, Morgan. Oh, yeah.
• 5:46
  Happy birthday, Morgan. OK Written by Don Mancini, John
• 5:51
  Lafia and Tom Holland Directed by Tom Holland Music by Joe
• 5:56
  Rinzetti Special effects makeup. Howard Berger or Berger.
• 6:01
  However that's supposed to be said, I think it's I.
• 6:03
  Think it's. Berger but.
• 6:05
  Yeah. He was the the supervisor of the
• 6:09
  Chucky construction crew is what it was called.
• 6:14
  Jim Schwalm, Kevin Yeager, who was the designer and executor of
• 6:21
  Chucky. James Cagle, who was the lead
• 6:24
  sculptor. And Kevin Yeager to listen to
• 6:28
  Howard Berger talk about it is a bit of a procrastinator.
• 6:33
  Yeah, so I didn't have enough time.
• 6:36
  Like we've been crunched on time this whole month and I wasn't
• 6:40
  able to do a deep dive on the special features.
• 6:41
  However, that 4K has a shit ton of stuff on it.
• 6:45
  There's there's literally like a whole hour long feature of just
• 6:50
  them, like a guy taking a camcorder and just like
• 6:53
  recording them working on shit the entire time.
• 6:55
  And they're just like just going about their day.
• 6:58
  It was really cool. And then you have like all these
• 6:59
  interviews and stuff. I want to watch it individually,
• 7:02
  but if you want any additional information, go there.
• 7:05
  Starring Katherine Hicks as Karen Barkley, Chris Sarandon as
• 7:10
  Mike Norris, Alex Vincent as Andy Barkley, Brad Dorff as
• 7:14
  Chucky Slash, Charles Weed Right, and Dina Man Off as
• 7:18
  Maggie Peterson. Maggie, I thought that that was
• 7:22
  going to be your intro. Did you say this so many times?
• 7:25
  No. I any time like the news is
• 7:27
  mentioned I always go. Yeah, Maggie Chucky wants to
• 7:30
  watch the 9:00. Yeah.
• 7:34
  No, I just, I felt like. Since it's the start of.
• 7:36
  The franchise I needed to. Do it properly.
• 7:40
  Yeah, I needed to do a proper a proper.
• 7:42
  Greeting I I get you. You're you're now.
• 7:45
  But they're going to start getting fucking weird from here
• 7:48
  on out, y'all? Yeah, of course.
• 7:51
  All right, time for our favorite game on the show.
• 7:53
  Budget or bug, Ted? All right, Jesse, what do you
• 7:57
  think? OK.
• 7:58
  Oh, and by the way, I just want to say we're starting a new
• 8:01
  franchise. I feel like I need to clarify
• 8:03
  this every few episodes just for people that don't know the
• 8:05
  segment Bug Ted is low budget movies.
• 8:09
  So anything below $10 million budget, anything above 10
• 8:13
  million? And that started from a
• 8:14
  fantastic type of something we read where they said they could
• 8:17
  tell it was low bug. Ted, We're not making fun of
• 8:20
  that person. It was just like, it just made
• 8:21
  us live. Yeah, it made us live.
• 8:23
  That's right. Hey, let's just make that low
• 8:24
  budget. Like we'll make that, we'll make
• 8:25
  it a segment. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:28
  OK. So OK, this is a little tricky
• 8:32
  cuz I watched that, that a bit of that feature with you.
• 8:36
  Yeah, Howard Berger, and I remember him talking about how
• 8:39
  he worked on a lot of low budget features.
• 8:43
  So this was like the first time that he's on a real set with a
• 8:46
  real budget and everything. But I also feel like it probably
• 8:52
  wasn't budget budget. It was like budget compared to
• 8:55
  what he was used to. So I'm going to say Bug Ted, but
• 8:59
  maybe hi Bug Ted. Oh, man, you nailed it.
• 9:02
  It is 9 million, Yeah. Technically right is the best.
• 9:07
  Kind of right. It's.
• 9:08
  True, $9 million is what they had for this thing.
• 9:12
  OK, opening Box Office 9. $1,000,000 in 1988 money.
• 9:15
  Yeah, that's really good. That's pretty good.
• 9:16
  That's a good budget for this and they need it with everything
• 9:18
  they have to do with Chucky. Especially they had to just keep
• 9:20
  burning dolls like. I didn't even get into any of
• 9:23
  that shit with my fun facts. I have so much shit of like the
• 9:26
  build up to making of the movie. That's all I got.
• 9:30
  But like, yeah, like they went hard into like they had to do
• 9:35
  like the like, puppeteering and he's basically an animatronic.
• 9:39
  Yeah. Like, it's insane.
• 9:42
  They're like, go watch the fucking special features.
• 9:43
  They go like in like deep, deep detail about that.
• 9:46
  If you're a nerd for stuff like that, absolutely.
• 9:48
  Or if you think you have the potential to be a nerd for stuff
• 9:50
  like that, yeah, watch the features.
• 9:53
  OK, opening box office, six and a half million dollars worldwide
• 9:57
  gross 44 million. All right, not too bad.
• 10:00
  I. Feel that?
• 10:01
  IMDb 6.7 out of 10. Hell yeah.
• 10:04
  Pretty good, not too bad. All right, so I don't have like
• 10:09
  a fun theme, but I have a fitting one.
• 10:11
  I feel this is like a time where the big slasher icons were still
• 10:16
  rolling and they all had films that came out this year, too.
• 10:20
  So Truckee was getting started. He's having to play catch up
• 10:23
  against these guys here. OK, so first one, yeah, he's,
• 10:27
  it's going to take a while for him, but he's a he's a crafty
• 10:30
  little one. All right, First movie is
• 10:33
  Halloween 4. Yes.
• 10:35
  Which released October 21st, 1988.
• 10:38
  OK, $5 million. Budget, yeah.
• 10:42
  OK. $17 million worldwide gross. Wow, that's insane.
• 10:47
  To me. And they kept making them.
• 10:50
  I I'm so glad they did. But I think it's.
• 10:53
  Insane. Again, time of VHS rentals that
• 10:58
  really helped. And also they were coming off of
• 11:01
  Season of the Witch, which yeah, made things weird for audience.
• 11:05
  True, true. Yeah, OK.
• 11:07
  IMDb 5.8 out of 10. So it's a pretty well received
• 11:11
  Koween movies. It's one of my favorites.
• 11:12
  High the rating was when we covered it 'cause that was so
• 11:15
  long. Ago, yeah.
• 11:16
  You know, I don't know. That is interesting, though.
• 11:20
  I, I have a clip of, like, one of the trailers from that
• 11:24
  episode where we were reading the reviews and it makes me
• 11:28
  laugh to this day. But I was reading the IMDb
• 11:31
  review and, like, it's just like, Michael really hates his
• 11:34
  family repeatedly. I was one of the best.
• 11:42
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:42
  I I still laugh to to this day. OK, Next up, Nightmare on Elm
• 11:48
  Street 4. OK, that one's a good one too.
• 11:51
  Yeah, that released August 19th, 1980 Eight $13 million budget,
• 11:57
  OK, worldwide gross 49 million. Is that the one where she's
• 12:01
  pregnant or the one right before she's pregnant?
• 12:03
  I know it's after Dream Warrior. Yeah, this is like the first one
• 12:07
  after Dream Warriors. This is the one where God, I
• 12:12
  can't really. It's like he, like, comes in
• 12:15
  there and he kills the Dream Warriors like, right away at the
• 12:17
  beginning and, like, screaming. Matt George does the effects on
• 12:20
  this one. There's that scene where the guy
• 12:22
  turns into a motorcycle. Yeah, the one you're thinking of
• 12:25
  is like 5 or 6. Six is the really weird one, I
• 12:29
  think. OK, yeah, I need to.
• 12:30
  That's one that I get those mixed up so much.
• 12:34
  Yeah, it's easy to do. And we haven't really, to be
• 12:36
  fair, watched that series as much as we have others.
• 12:39
  Yeah, that's one that we hit the original more than anything.
• 12:43
  Yeah, so did I already tell the rating?
• 12:47
  5.6 out of 10? Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 12:50
  OK, Next up, Friday the 13th, Part 7.
• 12:55
  OK, I I'm a defender of the Sun too.
• 12:58
  Yeah, it's a good one. I liked it.
• 13:02
  I just you didn't used to always like it.
• 13:05
  Whoa. I think the thing that pissed me
• 13:06
  off is that they got heavily censored.
• 13:09
  That's true. And that, like, yeah, it just
• 13:12
  like to this day, like, it still frustrates me.
• 13:14
  But you know, like, it's still a fun movie to watch.
• 13:17
  It was a great like boss fight at the end though.
• 13:20
  Yeah, it's good. Like hitting him against
• 13:22
  somebody that is like kind of an equal actually.
• 13:24
  She kicks his ass pretty much. Right.
• 13:25
  Never mind. OK, That release May 13th, 1988,
• 13:29
  so actual Friday the 13th. Awesome.
• 13:33
  It's had a $2.8 million budget and $19 million worldwide gross.
• 13:40
  It's still enough to be profitable based on the budget.
• 13:44
  IMDb 5.2 so people don't hate it there either yeah I liked it.
• 13:50
  I know a lot of people do shit talk that one, and I think I
• 13:53
  probably did a little bit in our episode back then, but I've come
• 13:56
  around some good I'm. Quite.
• 13:58
  I'm quite pleased to hear that. OK, taglines.
• 14:03
  So I'm having to pull on the phone.
• 14:06
  Oh yeah. That's always a good sign.
• 14:09
  So the one that is on the poster, something's moved in
• 14:13
  with the Barclay family and so has terror.
• 14:17
  I don't like it. Yeah.
• 14:19
  It's it's a little clunky and it's gone.
• 14:21
  I see where they're trying to go in with it.
• 14:24
  It just needed a little reworking.
• 14:25
  Yeah, let's just see. Whatever.
• 14:29
  This one's pretty good. No one believes the truth or
• 14:32
  lives to tell it. Oh, that is a good one.
• 14:37
  Yeah, because I mean, that's the whole thing in the movie.
• 14:38
  Nobody believes him. And then when they finally find
• 14:40
  out, they die. Yeah.
• 14:42
  And I remember when we watched this and the second cop comes in
• 14:46
  and Sarandon's like, now do you believe me?
• 14:50
  He goes, yeah, but who's going to believe me?
• 14:52
  Yeah. And we're like, yeah, No, like
• 14:54
  you've got three adults telling you this.
• 14:56
  I'm just going to sit here and be like, OK, this is some sort
• 14:58
  of group psychosis. Yeah, it's like a mass illusion
• 15:00
  or some shit. Next, he wants you for a best
• 15:05
  friend or a new best friend. I do.
• 15:10
  Have a hard time like separating that because it's such an iconic
• 15:13
  tagline, but I think it's a really good one like.
• 15:16
  It is. It is.
• 15:17
  It is pretty solid and if you heard that, you'd think, oh, OK,
• 15:20
  cool, creepy doll. And like right away.
• 15:22
  The movie's like, no, not just. It's actually it's a serial.
• 15:25
  Yeah. The doll itself is not possessed
• 15:27
  in the way you're thinking. This one is Avhs release poster.
• 15:33
  It says Chucky did it. You know what?
• 15:36
  Yeah. It's like just Andy Chucky did
• 15:38
  it. Yeah, yeah.
• 15:40
  Chucky did it the first time. He says that he sounds so like
• 15:44
  excited. He's like, no, guys, I cracked.
• 15:46
  I figured it out. I know.
• 15:47
  Who the killer is Chucky did it and.
• 15:51
  They're like, oh God. This Bake them Away toys.
• 15:57
  OK, This one is probably my favorite right here.
• 16:02
  My Bake them away toys. You know what?
• 16:03
  That's front, right? The Simpsons.
• 16:07
  Chief Ligam. Yes.
• 16:08
  Yes. OK, This one's my favorite.
• 16:12
  When people have nightmares, they dream of Freddie.
• 16:15
  When Freddie has nightmares, he dreams of Chucky.
• 16:19
  I like that a lot. That is cool 'cause you got to
• 16:22
  remember Freddie was probably like the biggest, like he was
• 16:25
  such a big thing back then and. Also, like, he was the only,
• 16:31
  like talking serial killer of the time 'cause this is pre
• 16:34
  scream. So we finally get another funny
• 16:37
  guy who's like, gonna be a killer.
• 16:40
  And it's even because like instead of being in dreams, now
• 16:43
  he's in a little doll's body. Yeah, I I like that.
• 16:45
  It's really that. OK, you'll wish it was only make
• 16:49
  believe. Yeah, OK, Andy Barkley has a new
• 16:53
  playmate who's in no mood to play.
• 16:57
  That's not too bad. That's not too bad.
• 16:58
  I do think that Charles Lee Ray likes to play a little bit.
• 17:02
  He likes to play, he likes to play a.
• 17:03
  Little bit. Fuck you.
• 17:07
  Like you really tell us. It's like Maggie's and Maggie is
• 17:10
  a bitch and she deserved it. Like damn, dude.
• 17:13
  So yeah, that's a little kid all right.
• 17:16
  You know, he would be that like uncle at the Family Guy.
• 17:23
  He's like. Uncle Charlie.
• 17:24
  Fuck you. He just doesn't want to even
• 17:29
  talk to you. OK, This stall is killer.
• 17:32
  Yeah, whatever. Uninspired.
• 17:36
  Chucky is one mean son of a bitch.
• 17:40
  Accurate, but again, kind of uninspired.
• 17:42
  Yep, that's it. That's the last one.
• 17:44
  OK. So this is our last month of our
• 17:50
  last month, our last week of Pride month here at the show.
• 17:54
  And one of the things that I always like to do is give a
• 17:57
  little bit of interesting facts, either as they relate to the
• 18:01
  movie or as they relate to the queer community.
• 18:07
  So I've got a little bit of. Both for this.
• 18:09
  And the first one is actually going to be the Trevor Project
• 18:13
  itself because they've got, you know, what they're, what they're
• 18:17
  known for is they've got crisis counseling, you know, they're
• 18:21
  suicide prevention organization. And that's absolutely amazing,
• 18:24
  and it's absolutely needed, especially LGBTQ young people
• 18:28
  who are, you know, not only going through the throes of
• 18:32
  being young people. That fucking sucks.
• 18:34
  I think we've all been there and we remember that.
• 18:36
  But they're also dealing with all of the social implications
• 18:44
  that come with being queer, unfortunately.
• 18:49
  You know, it can be parental alienation, friendship
• 18:52
  alienation, job discrimination, lots of things like that.
• 18:56
  So they've got that crisis hotline, but they've also got a
• 19:01
  lot of interesting resources there on the website too.
• 19:04
  It doesn't just have to be a thing that just LGBTQ youth go
• 19:10
  to when they're in an acute crisis.
• 19:12
  Anybody can go there and they can look at the resources and
• 19:14
  they've got educational resources such as what does it
• 19:17
  mean to be gay and lesbian? How can I support the bisexual
• 19:20
  people in my life? What is it?
• 19:23
  What does it mean to be gender fluid?
• 19:26
  And I think that's really amazing.
• 19:28
  So it's not just an acute crisis situation.
• 19:32
  You can go to this organization and you can get information,
• 19:35
  learn a little bit more, become a better ally.
• 19:38
  Or if you don't know if you're an ally, if you don't know, if
• 19:41
  somebody has just come out to you and you're like, fuck, I
• 19:43
  don't know what this means. I don't know how I'm supposed to
• 19:44
  react. You can go to this website and
• 19:46
  you can get a little bit of information yourself.
• 19:48
  I'm just like imagining somebody like coming out to you, like, oh
• 19:51
  fuck. And you're like, get up here,
• 19:52
  pull up your phone real quick. Like how do I react to?
• 19:55
  This. Don't do that.
• 19:59
  Oh shit. No, but like, you know, somebody
• 20:04
  comes out to you and you're like, thank you for trusting me
• 20:06
  with this. And then you want to, because
• 20:07
  you're a good friend or family member or whatever it is, and
• 20:10
  you want to learn more about what this means for them.
• 20:12
  Those resources are there for you.
• 20:13
  So I think that's really cool. And then my other thing as it
• 20:17
  relates to this movie and why it's so fitting that we're
• 20:19
  starting this franchise this month.
• 20:21
  It was unintentional, but it's very appropriate.
• 20:23
  Yeah, it's perfect. I got some quotes from Don
• 20:28
  Mancini at a convention where they did a panel on queer
• 20:33
  horror, and Screen Rant wrote this up so I'm just going to
• 20:39
  read a couple of the quotes that they pulled for this article,
• 20:42
  and as always, I will link the article in our show notes.
• 20:45
  While the first film's premise seems to resolve around the
• 20:48
  consumerist culture and the difficulties of single
• 20:50
  parenthood, Don Mancini revealed that it's so much more than
• 20:52
  that. Underneath the messaging, it's
• 20:55
  about his personal struggles as a gay man, his family dynamic,
• 20:57
  and loneliness. As the franchise headed into the
• 21:00
  2000s, it became more apparent that Chucky was destined to
• 21:03
  become an LGBTQ icon. His films are queer coded
• 21:05
  slasher movies unlike any other. Mancini stated that when he
• 21:10
  looks back on the film, the fact that he made Karen a single
• 21:13
  mother and left Andy without a father was his subconscious
• 21:16
  inclusion of his own experience as a gay man and the complex
• 21:18
  relationship he had with his own father.
• 21:21
  By not giving Andy a father figure.
• 21:22
  Mancini wrote in a narrative of loneliness and the desire to
• 21:25
  have someone to relate to when an individual is rejected by a
• 21:28
  family member for something like being gay.
• 21:30
  As the franchise progressed, Mancini embraced his identity as
• 21:33
  a gay man and included queer icons such as Jennifer Tilly and
• 21:36
  Bride of Chucky in leading roles.
• 21:38
  While the conscious effort of including queerness in the
• 21:40
  franchise did not exist until the release of Bread of Chucky,
• 21:43
  the subconscious inclusion of queer subtext in 1988 was
• 21:46
  integral and establishing its future.
• 21:48
  One of the later installment, Seed of Chucky brought LGBTQ
• 21:51
  issues more to the forefront by including a gender fluid
• 21:54
  character, Chucky and Tiffany's child, Glenn or Glenda.
• 21:59
  So, and we touched on this a little bit last week.
• 22:02
  We're talking about how excited we were to talk about this and
• 22:05
  just what queer representation looked like.
• 22:09
  And then in 1988 versus 2020, when we were talking about how
• 22:14
  Freaky could have such openly queer characters and such open
• 22:18
  queer coding. And we're going to get to see
• 22:22
  this evolution with this franchise in not in real time,
• 22:27
  but like over the next two months on the podcast.
• 22:30
  And I think that's really cool. And I think it's really
• 22:32
  important to include Don Mancini's, you know, own
• 22:38
  personal viewpoint as he was going through writing these
• 22:41
  movies. Yeah, that was actually one of
• 22:42
  the things I had in my fun facts was how he, like, made Andy like
• 22:47
  a fatherless child with a single mother because of that.
• 22:49
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:51
  So, All right. All right, so let's go on over
• 22:55
  into our fun facts, OK? I've got a lot of shit here.
• 23:00
  Fun shit I hope. Yeah, it's all fun shit.
• 23:02
  It's all pretty interesting. I didn't realize this movie had,
• 23:05
  like, a lot of shit going on, like, and it's build up.
• 23:08
  So Don Mancini first came up with the idea for the movie back
• 23:11
  in 1985. He was a student at UCLA.
• 23:15
  He was currently majoring in literature.
• 23:17
  He ended up finishing the first draft when he was studying film
• 23:21
  in 1986 at Columbia University. So at some point, he made a
• 23:24
  change. He's like, all right, I'm going
• 23:25
  to do movies instead. Well, if I'm remembering
• 23:28
  correctly, in 1985 we did had like Bruce Springsteen and
• 23:31
  Madonna. It was way before Nirvana.
• 23:33
  OK. You said that as like a very
• 23:35
  much like a intellectual thing to say, but then you're just
• 23:38
  quoting the song. Weird.
• 23:39
  Sadly. Yeah.
• 23:41
  OK, so the movie was inspired by consumerism.
• 23:46
  Also his dad as an advertising executive had a lot of influence
• 23:50
  with it. And then also the Cabbage Patch
• 23:53
  Kid riots of 1983, which I looked up, and apparently it was
• 23:57
  just this big craze that was going on.
• 24:00
  People wanted that doll, and they would attack each other for
• 24:05
  that doll in the stores. Yeah, it was intense,
• 24:08
  apparently, Like, it has its own Wikipedia page because people
• 24:10
  were in such a frenzy over this. It's insane.
• 24:13
  When the Cabbage Patch Kids themselves are also kind of like
• 24:16
  really intense because you adopt the Cabbage Patch Kid, it comes
• 24:19
  with its own, like, it's insane, man.
• 24:22
  Yeah, it's a lot. But I can see how that would
• 24:25
  pull into like, the whole because the good guy is they've
• 24:29
  got all of the shit that comes with them.
• 24:31
  And then you build this connection and he talks to you
• 24:34
  and. Yeah.
• 24:35
  And it's so like, I imagine like, just the overall look of
• 24:40
  the Cabbage Patch Kids probably had an impact on Chucky's
• 24:44
  appearance. But he was also very heavily
• 24:47
  inspired by Hasbro's Buddy dolls, which I'm showing you a
• 24:51
  picture of him right now. They look very much like them,
• 24:55
  right? Just enough to not be copyright
• 24:57
  infringement. Yeah, well, it's interesting.
• 25:00
  So they had his name originally as Buddy and they had to change
• 25:06
  it to Chucky in order to avoid being sued by Hasbro.
• 25:12
  So this movie was almost a full moon film.
• 25:16
  Charles Ban almost did it. He was interested in it.
• 25:20
  Look. No hate to full moon films at
• 25:23
  all, but I'm so glad it wasn't. Yeah, well, he took that
• 25:27
  interest and went with puppet masters, Yeah, which you know,
• 25:31
  but the reason he passed on this is because it was too expensive
• 25:34
  of a script to produce. Yeah, well, and that's exactly
• 25:37
  why I'm glad he passed. That Full moon is low budget by
• 25:41
  design, and that's great. It's like trauma is low budget
• 25:45
  by design. Yeah, but I feel like Full Moon
• 25:48
  is like even it's like the lowest of lowest while still
• 25:51
  being like movie like cinema quality.
• 25:54
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And even then, that's kind of a
• 25:57
  question. Like sometimes it's just really
• 26:00
  cheap stuff. So the original script was
• 26:04
  titled Batteries Not Included. They had to change that title
• 26:08
  because there was a movie being made at the same time with that
• 26:11
  same name. It was a sci-fi movie and they
• 26:13
  actually beat them to it because it released in 1987.
• 26:16
  Wow. Second title that was going to
• 26:20
  be used was called Bloody Buddy. So yeah.
• 26:25
  OK, well this is the premise of the original script and it will
• 26:29
  make a little bit more sense. So it featured a doll filled
• 26:32
  with fake blood that would bleed if played with roughly all
• 26:36
  right. Oh my God.
• 26:38
  So that's crazy. That's like the dolls that like,
• 26:41
  you could actually like feed them and give them like juice
• 26:44
  and stuff and like I'm picturing that but with blood.
• 26:49
  It's really weird, man. Like it, like, I like it because
• 26:52
  it's really creepy. But yeah, like, it means the
• 26:54
  same thing. Like they like the ones that
• 26:55
  like, also pee and stuff like that.
• 26:57
  Yeah, yeah. It would come alive after Andy's
• 27:02
  blood mixed in with his fake blood.
• 27:06
  You know, and I'm also glad we didn't go that direction because
• 27:09
  I would have so many questions because kids are.
• 27:12
  Always hurting themselves, See. And that's the thing, it would.
• 27:14
  It would happen. Like if that had to happen,
• 27:18
  there would have to be something special with Andy or something
• 27:20
  special with that doll specifically.
• 27:22
  Yeah, very much like a chosen one, kind of.
• 27:23
  Yeah, the doll would have represented Andy's subconscious
• 27:27
  rage caused by his parents divorce and the single mother's
• 27:30
  frequent absence from home, and would have targeted his enemies.
• 27:34
  The third act would have had the doll trying to kill Andy and his
• 27:37
  mother so that it would not have to go to sleep while Andy was
• 27:40
  awake. Mancini's original script would
• 27:42
  have been a whodunit story which dealt with the effect of
• 27:45
  advertising and television on children and also was written to
• 27:50
  have the toy toy with the audience for a little bit
• 27:53
  longer, making it kind of ambiguous whether Andy or Chucky
• 27:56
  was the killer. You know what though?
• 27:58
  It's so funny, 'cause I was thinking about this boy watching
• 28:00
  the movie is that even though we see right away, we watch Charles
• 28:05
  Lee Ray get killed and transfer his body into the doll and
• 28:11
  there's. Still.
• 28:11
  Like some doubt as the movie's going on.
• 28:13
  You're like, I don't know man, you.
• 28:16
  Don't actually see it being successful.
• 28:18
  You just see like a big explosion and that's pretty much
• 28:21
  it. Like, OK, maybe he changed his
• 28:23
  soul with an explosion, I don't know.
• 28:25
  Yeah. OK, MGM didn't trust Mancini to
• 28:30
  do any of the rewrites on the movie, so they didn't really
• 28:32
  like like that. So like, OK, do a rewrite.
• 28:34
  You know, he was unproven at this point.
• 28:37
  So they brought in Tom Holland based off of a recommendation
• 28:39
  from Spielberg. Tom Holland did a rewrite, made
• 28:43
  the doll possessed by a serial killer.
• 28:45
  So he introduced that David Kirchner, who is the producer of
• 28:50
  all of the Chucky films to this day, I believe, actually name
• 28:56
  came up with the name Charles Sweet Ray.
• 28:57
  He based it on figures such as Charles Manson, Lee Harvey
• 29:03
  Oswald and James Earl Ray. Do you want me to explain who
• 29:06
  did what? So Charles Manson, notoriously
• 29:09
  of the Manson Family. Cult.
• 29:11
  Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy.
• 29:15
  And then James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King.
• 29:18
  Martin Luther King Junior. Yes, I was going to say Malcolm
• 29:21
  X. And I was like Nope, Nope, not
• 29:22
  not him. Yeah, Holland ended up quitting
• 29:27
  the movie. He was really frustrated at the
• 29:30
  time, trying to figure out how the soul of the killer would
• 29:33
  make it to the doll or Andy. And he went on to direct another
• 29:37
  movie. Wow.
• 29:39
  Yeah. So producers brought in Jean
• 29:41
  Lafia. He came in to do a complete or
• 29:45
  to finish the script that Tom Holland was doing the rewrite
• 29:48
  of. His idea was that the soul was
• 29:52
  going to transfer after a, an electric chair execution and the
• 29:57
  doll would have been on an assembly line at the same time.
• 30:00
  So something would have happened and, like, it would have
• 30:02
  transferred over there. So after all that was done, by
• 30:06
  the time they they were still working on this.
• 30:08
  Tom Holland finished that film. Oh, my God.
• 30:11
  Yeah. And then they rehired him back
• 30:14
  into the movie. So he did another complete
• 30:17
  rewrite of the script. He included the voodoo.
• 30:21
  He's this is where he brought in the voodoo element, which it's
• 30:25
  noted Kushner and Mancini don't did not like that introduction,
• 30:31
  like they didn't like including the the voodoo stuff.
• 30:35
  But Despite that, that was the script that they went forward
• 30:38
  with. Well, I'm going to be curious to
• 30:41
  see if he turned around on that since it's integral to.
• 30:47
  Everything of the. New franchise going.
• 30:50
  Forward and. Mancini has he never tried to
• 30:53
  wreck on it so. Never did.
• 30:55
  So I'm, I'm curious. Yeah, I'm curious.
• 30:58
  And the last little bit of information.
• 31:01
  Tom Holland claimed that the rewrite that he did was so
• 31:04
  extensive that he fought for sole writer credit on the film.
• 31:09
  Sophia and Mancini fought him on it though.
• 31:12
  They took it to the WGA and they ruled that all three of them
• 31:15
  have to share the credit. OK, so not some, you know, I
• 31:20
  made brief reference of this, but it it's kind of another
• 31:24
  Jason Friday the 13th situation. There's like rights issues.
• 31:31
  No matter how you spin it, he this is his baby.
• 31:34
  He he conceived it back when he was like a student.
• 31:36
  Yes, but also The thing is that it would it it probably wouldn't
• 31:40
  be what it is today without this like first movie being what it
• 31:47
  is. I'm going to say.
• 31:48
  That's kind of what led the whole franchise to where it is
• 31:51
  now. We have these origins here.
• 31:52
  And I think he, I think he needed it though.
• 31:54
  Yeah, really. Because like we heard just now
• 31:57
  what it was going to be. Yeah.
• 31:58
  I don't think that that would have been like as iconic as it
• 32:01
  is today. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong
• 32:03
  with that. Being a new writer.
• 32:05
  Yeah, you do need you get by with a little help from.
• 32:09
  Your friends, I was just. Thinking.
• 32:10
  That. Thank you.
• 32:12
  And just, it's just sad that they're not friends.
• 32:15
  I don't know. I mean maybe they are friends
• 32:16
  now, but it sounds like there was maybe a less friendly time.
• 32:21
  I think just Tom Holland was just like done with shit.
• 32:24
  God damn it, you all are bringing me back into this shit.
• 32:26
  Fine. Fuck it, I'll write the whole
• 32:28
  thing again myself. I'm the sole writer.
• 32:31
  This is my OK. OK, let's do our good.
• 32:35
  Bad bugleena sird. OK.
• 32:37
  OK, Jesse, kick it off. What you like about this?
• 32:41
  Oh my God. So this is one of those that I,
• 32:46
  I weirdly ended up watching several of these when I was
• 32:49
  younger, even though I wasn't super into horror until I was
• 32:53
  older, right? And it was never a movie that I
• 32:56
  watched all the way through because it scared the shit out
• 32:58
  of me. And part of it is because, and
• 33:00
  you've seen the photos, you have seen the proof.
• 33:02
  I had over 100 stuffed animals. I was very much, I was a stuffed
• 33:06
  animal kid. So this whole premise of a doll
• 33:09
  being able to come to life in a non happy Toy Story way,
• 33:13
  absolutely devastating. I think the only times that I
• 33:16
  would really be able to tolerate it being on was like on
• 33:19
  marathons around Halloween. But now as an adult and a horror
• 33:24
  fan, I fucking love it. And I can see the brilliance of
• 33:27
  it because you've got like this, it's supposed to be innocent.
• 33:30
  What is what is more wholesome than a mom like trying her
• 33:35
  hardest to get her kid this one thing that he just really,
• 33:39
  really loves? And he's a sweet kid.
• 33:41
  He is the sweetest fucking kid. Most adorable fucking child.
• 33:45
  So well-intentioned and, you know, she gets him this doll.
• 33:50
  And you never think that like a a gift you're getting for your
• 33:53
  child who's just pure goodness is going to end up causing all
• 33:58
  this wreckage in your life. And that's a scary like
• 34:01
  philosophically, but also like the movie itself is fucking
• 34:05
  terrifying because we see sweet little Andy Barkley and you're
• 34:08
  like, he couldn't hurt a family. And then even though, you know,
• 34:11
  kind of like I already said, like there's a little bit of
• 34:13
  like, well, maybe is this real? Is this not?
• 34:15
  Was that a red herring? You know what is going on.
• 34:19
  You do have like these kind of moments of doubt.
• 34:22
  And then that moment where she picks up the box and the
• 34:25
  batteries fall out. My stomach drops to the floor
• 34:30
  every time it's solid. And then like the Exorcist turn
• 34:33
  the head around, dropping under the couch, which I remember
• 34:37
  seeing an interview where they had to do that take like 50
• 34:40
  times. Yeah, for the doll.
• 34:41
  To perfect. Yeah.
• 34:43
  Like. It's just amazing and it's a
• 34:45
  real solid story that doesn't really lag at any point.
• 34:49
  And Alex Vincent fucking kills it.
• 34:53
  He is like, you watch this child and you're just like, I want to
• 34:57
  protect him. That's like that scene when he's
• 34:59
  in the he's. At the holding center.
• 35:01
  Yeah, he's at the holding center, like psychiatric.
• 35:05
  It's a good cops. Cops are there, yeah, but also
• 35:08
  psychiatric. Yeah, it's like juvenile
• 35:10
  psychiatric inmate type thing. And when he's crying that Chucky
• 35:17
  is going to kill him and that kids sobbing like.
• 35:20
  He like is actually crying. Man I was legit impressed with
• 35:24
  that. That was amazing.
• 35:25
  I just wanted to pick him up and hold him.
• 35:27
  Yeah, it's going. To be okay.
• 35:29
  So sad man. So yeah, and Catherine Hicks, I
• 35:32
  think is just fucking amazing the watching the cops
• 35:37
  progression of like, there's absolutely 'cause you're on the
• 35:40
  cops side, you're like, no, of course he's not going to believe
• 35:42
  any of this. And then when he witnesses it,
• 35:44
  he's like, OK, well here we are. What?
• 35:48
  The fuck do I do? Whoa, yeah, that's quite the
• 35:50
  realization too, with him trying to stab your junk through the
• 35:54
  the chair of the car. Yeah, man, it's God.
• 35:58
  It's so good. Yeah, so and like this, this
• 36:01
  franchise clearly has staying power because it's still going
• 36:04
  on today, so. It's really good.
• 36:07
  Yeah, just I can't say enough good things about it.
• 36:11
  I agree with him a lot, like everything that you just said
• 36:13
  there. I'll add I personally, I know a
• 36:17
  lot of people would vote Freddie, but I think Chucky is
• 36:20
  the most charismatic horror villain out there.
• 36:23
  I think I'd probably agree with you on that.
• 36:25
  He's just so funny, man Brad Dorff kills it with his delivery
• 36:30
  of every line in this movie. Man, it's so great.
• 36:33
  He does an amazing job. I love his voice.
• 36:35
  It's like iconic. Yes.
• 36:37
  I I can't hear him in other roles now and think like not
• 36:40
  think of Chucky. Yeah, they, I don't think
• 36:41
  there's been a single time that we've watched one of the Rob
• 36:43
  Zombie Halloween movies and not been like, oh, there's Charles.
• 36:47
  And it doesn't help that his daughter is Annie.
• 36:52
  Annie, like, God dammit, give her a different name.
• 36:58
  And like, they did a great job bringing the doll to life too,
• 37:02
  and not making it cheap. They had an amazing team of
• 37:05
  people. They had to like, build elevated
• 37:07
  stages for like all of the sets there so people could be
• 37:10
  underneath and like actually operate the doll.
• 37:12
  Like, the one that stands out the most to me is that scene
• 37:17
  after he burnt to a crisp and Andy's on the ground crawling
• 37:22
  backwards, and he's just, like, hovering over him with that
• 37:24
  knife. And he's just, like, walking
• 37:26
  down the hallway so slowly. Oh, man, It's so fucking well
• 37:30
  done. Yeah.
• 37:31
  This movie is just amazing. It does so many things perfect.
• 37:35
  OK, so why are some bad things? I'm going to say the bad thing.
• 37:40
  For me, it feels a little bit like they were trying to maybe
• 37:46
  push a romantic sense between Karen and Norris.
• 37:53
  Really, I didn't get that at all.
• 37:55
  I just I. Don't know how to explain it but
• 37:59
  the way she went from like referring him to him as a
• 38:02
  detective to referring to him as Chris in a way I mean.
• 38:06
  Mike. Mike, sorry, the actor's name is
• 38:09
  Chris. I don't know.
• 38:12
  It just. And the way he like felt, I
• 38:14
  don't know. And maybe it's not anything
• 38:17
  there, but it felt a little bit like she was going to go to the
• 38:19
  hospital with him, you know, like we know her home situation.
• 38:25
  We don't know his home situation.
• 38:26
  Maybe he's like, well, no, like it's fine.
• 38:27
  My wife won't meet me there. You know what I mean?
• 38:29
  Like we don't ever. Get like it just feels.
• 38:31
  I wanted to see maybe that's a deleted scene where she's like,
• 38:34
  I'll go to the hospital with you.
• 38:35
  He's like, oh, OK, let me tell my wife.
• 38:38
  Yeah, like it just, it just feels, and maybe that's because
• 38:42
  I'm so used to movies trying to push that kind of a thing that
• 38:45
  my brain fills in those gaps that way.
• 38:48
  And I fully admit that that might just be my own bias
• 38:51
  towards it. So I I don't know, it's just
• 38:55
  they're like relationship, whether it's quasi romantic
• 38:59
  friendship, whatever, feels a little bit rushed from like
• 39:04
  she's the mom defending her child against this detective
• 39:07
  that wants to walk him away to like, all right, I'm going to
• 39:11
  nurse you back to health. Like, yeah.
• 39:13
  It's. A very quick turn around because
• 39:14
  this all happens in the space of what, 4872 hours somewhere
• 39:19
  around there. Yeah, like two days maybe.
• 39:21
  I don't even know the time frame is kind of, it's a.
• 39:24
  Very short timeline in this movie and I don't think I ever
• 39:28
  truly appreciated how short it was until we were like watching
• 39:31
  and taking notes and I'm like holy shit.
• 39:32
  OK, so he died last night, He's in the doll today, which it's 24
• 39:39
  hours after he transferred his soul.
• 39:41
  And then the next day, Maggie's already dead and Andy is cutting
• 39:47
  class to ride the train across Chicago to.
• 39:51
  Eddie Caputo. Yeah, and then he gets picked up
• 39:54
  there and then the cops are like, OK, well, you're going to
• 39:56
  juvie and like. So yeah, this is all.
• 39:58
  It's less than five days. Yeah, for sure.
• 40:01
  Time one. Yeah.
• 40:03
  OK. What's your bad?
• 40:06
  I think that some of the rules that they establish are a tad
• 40:10
  goofy at times. Like you do things like, well,
• 40:15
  he has to tell. He has to go back to the body of
• 40:18
  the person he first told. Like, oh, so this is just like
• 40:22
  how you guys figured, Like, well, he's got to go to Andy.
• 40:25
  Like that's the only way he can make it like go for this little
• 40:27
  child. Otherwise, why would he go for a
• 40:30
  child? You know what I mean?
• 40:31
  Like you would want like an adult body.
• 40:33
  I'm largely uninterested with Andy.
• 40:35
  Like other than this is how I'm gonna get place to place without
• 40:38
  being suspicious to you. Okay, cool, now I'm gonna try
• 40:41
  and kill Andy and then, as we all know, it eventually just
• 40:44
  becomes vengeance. Yeah, it becomes vengeance,
• 40:46
  which I think I would have liked something like that a little bit
• 40:48
  better. But he, I guess he needs a
• 40:51
  moment. Well, I mean, that could be his
• 40:52
  motivation, but why would he blame the kid?
• 40:54
  You know, you like, yeah, you kind of get into this weird
• 40:57
  thing. You're well, he's got to have a
• 40:58
  target. And like, could it be the cop?
• 41:00
  I don't know. Who wants to watch the doll go
• 41:02
  after the cop? Why would the cop have a doll in
• 41:03
  the 1st place? Part of the phone is like having
• 41:06
  like the kid there. Like yeah, I have a reason.
• 41:10
  For it, and it adds some horror to it because it's like a child
• 41:12
  is being dragged into all of this yeah, it's a taboo.
• 41:16
  Like, we're not supposed to make kids the targets of the killers
• 41:20
  in the movie, The only kids if they're high schoolers,
• 41:24
  plausibly. But they're really, we know on
• 41:26
  screen that they're, you know, 25 years old.
• 41:28
  We've got actual 6 year old Alex Vincent here sobbing on set.
• 41:34
  So I mean, like, I understand why they had to do it, but like
• 41:38
  at the same time it's just it's a little goofy.
• 41:40
  Yeah, that's fair. OK, ugly.
• 41:47
  You know, voodoo is like an actual religion out there.
• 41:50
  So I think there's like some appropriation.
• 41:53
  I don't know enough to talk about it.
• 41:54
  Very. They don't abandoned it.
• 41:57
  Yes. They have like a whole voodoo
• 41:59
  for dummies. Yes, even.
• 42:00
  Later on, I know it's. Is it like an offensive thing?
• 42:06
  It feels very like appropriative, like ha ha ha.
• 42:11
  Wouldn't it be fun to do a little voodoo for this thing?
• 42:14
  Cuz I don't know how well researched it is.
• 42:17
  You know what I mean? And that's what I'm saying.
• 42:18
  Maybe they did a lot of research, maybe they do it
• 42:20
  respectfully. I don't really know at this
• 42:22
  point. It's something that I kinda
• 42:24
  wanna look into as we go forward to the franchise, though.
• 42:26
  I think it'd be fair. I mean, just because it's, I
• 42:30
  don't know. I don't know.
• 42:34
  We'll have to figure that. Out because it doesn't feel like
• 42:35
  it's trying to give a larger message about voodoo as a
• 42:39
  religion. You know what I mean like it
• 42:41
  just feels like oh hey, we're going to use this as a plot
• 42:43
  device. Very.
• 42:44
  I'm Stephanie Meyer with the the the.
• 42:51
  Well, The thing is like. The the tribe that Jacob's a
• 42:53
  part of in Twilight where that's like an actual tribe and then
• 42:57
  she takes a lot of their lore, makes shit up and.
• 43:01
  I think that's different than a religion though.
• 43:04
  People use religion for like motivation and things like that
• 43:07
  in cinema. What are you looking up?
• 43:09
  I'm trying to remember what the tribe in Twilight is called, the
• 43:12
  Quaalude tribe. And it's to the point where like
• 43:15
  the misinformation is so bad that they have like an actual
• 43:18
  museum in Washington that like actually gives like the tribe's
• 43:23
  history and stuff. And they've got like a whole
• 43:25
  website and everything. It's pretty cool that that that
• 43:29
  information is accessible, but it's kind of fucked up how it
• 43:33
  came to need to be accessible. Well, thank you for doing your
• 43:37
  service of roping Twilight into another discussion on this show.
• 43:41
  Just it's 90% of what I do on this show.
• 43:44
  Pretty much OK Oh my, my ugly. My ugly was people getting mad
• 43:51
  at poor Andy because all he's doing is like telling the truth
• 43:54
  the entire time and everybody's just like Andy.
• 43:56
  Fucking stop it. He's like.
• 43:58
  Melvin. Melvin.
• 44:01
  They seriously, it's just like they get so mad at him like all
• 44:03
  right, well, fucker, like you're the one that killed him, right?
• 44:07
  Like you know exactly what happened.
• 44:08
  Like no, Chucky did it all right, you fucking.
• 44:10
  Can I add an ugly too that one cop questioned Andy without an
• 44:16
  adult present. No Guardian was there with Andy.
• 44:21
  I get it because anytime that they tried to talk to Andy, the
• 44:25
  mom just came in and was like, don't you fucking talk to him?
• 44:27
  'Cause that's his. Fucking constitutional, right?
• 44:29
  But he's six years old. He hasn't gone through civics
• 44:31
  class yet. He doesn't know.
• 44:33
  I get it though, you got to figure out what he's the only
• 44:36
  other one there. Like you got to like, figure out
• 44:38
  what happened. I'm sorry, but I think we need
• 44:41
  to protect our constitutional rights.
• 44:42
  Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America.
• 44:46
  Absurd. OK, OK.
• 44:53
  I think first of all the like, whole shootout scene in the toy
• 44:58
  shop is absurd in and of itself. And Charles Lee Ray making a
• 45:02
  point to fuck up as much shit on his way out as possible like
• 45:05
  it's a toy shop. This hasn't done anything to you
• 45:07
  personally. That was one of my things too,
• 45:10
  sorry. Do you want to like go on the?
• 45:12
  Go ahead, go ahead, comment on it too.
• 45:14
  We have in the scene the very first instance of the Ade Duwe
• 45:19
  Dumbala transferring of souls to another body and it results in
• 45:24
  the giant explosion. We never get that again.
• 45:27
  I know in this. Series nobody explodes.
• 45:29
  Yeah. What the fuck?
• 45:32
  OK, what's what else you got? The the lightning bolt effects
• 45:37
  that were borrowed from Chopping Mall.
• 45:39
  Oh, I love it. Oh, I love it too, but it's very
• 45:42
  absurd. We've got such high class
• 45:46
  animatronics work in this movie, and then we've got Ms. Video.
• 45:51
  Like whatever animator bucket. And then finally the couple on
• 45:59
  the elevator and the woman, as she's getting out, she goes Ugly
• 46:04
  doll and Jackie goes. Fuck you.
• 46:07
  Yeah. Love it.
• 46:11
  Those are all great. Mine is Andy's breakfast in bed
• 46:18
  for his mom. I block that out that, well, I'm
• 46:22
  a person that I love my dairy free butter alternative.
• 46:27
  All right, which is? What it legally has to be gone?
• 46:29
  And don't worry you guys, I've got it prepared for you.
• 46:31
  If you guys want to make for yourself the morning breakfast
• 46:35
  in bed of Andy Barkley, I have the recipe for you right here.
• 46:39
  I. Would love to hear it minus the
• 46:42
  like ladle sized serving of butter that makes me feel
• 46:46
  physically I'll every time I see it.
• 46:48
  So first of all, you're going to want cereal.
• 46:50
  Cereal is the like the key of this thing here.
• 46:52
  So you just dump an entire box of that into a bowl.
• 46:55
  Should be tied to an existing franchise of some sort, like a
• 46:59
  cartoon doll, whatever. Yeah.
• 47:02
  If you're like Travis right now, they do have the Goku Reese's
• 47:05
  Puffs. This would be suitable.
• 47:07
  Or, you know, bad boys. Will Smith's back, baby.
• 47:11
  Will Smith is back, baby. We're not supporters, that's
• 47:14
  just we heard a guy say that when we went to go see a movie
• 47:18
  The other day. Actually, what we heard was will
• 47:20
  smooth. Is back, baby.
• 47:22
  Yeah, he was so into it. OK, so cereal, you got that?
• 47:25
  Next stop, you need 3 heaping scoops of sugar onto the cereal.
• 47:29
  Next you're going to need incinerated toast.
• 47:33
  You'll know it's good when it starts smoking.
• 47:36
  Giant spoon of butter. Just take a fucking spoon and
• 47:40
  just dig it in there and drop it right on top of the.
• 47:43
  Toast ideally come from the Country Crock tub and it should
• 47:47
  be roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the tub.
• 47:51
  If you think you got 2 little, get more.
• 47:53
  Yeah, always. And finally they top it all off.
• 47:57
  How would you? Did you mention the milk pouring
• 48:01
  off the sides of the bowl of cereal?
• 48:03
  That's how you finish it right there because you have to take
• 48:06
  the tray and you have to walk as if you are a little 6 year old
• 48:09
  that still doesn't know how to walk properly.
• 48:11
  Yes. And run into your mom's bed.
• 48:13
  I. Don't think.
• 48:14
  It's so much that he doesn't know how to walk properly.
• 48:16
  It's that he doesn't know how to appropriately balance a meal
• 48:18
  tray, so it's a little wobbly. Fair.
• 48:21
  OK. He, he, he walks pretty solid.
• 48:23
  Rest of them, Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:24
  So there you go, everybody. If you guys want to do your very
• 48:27
  own Andy Barkley breakfast in bed, you now have the recipe.
• 48:31
  OK. All right, so let's rate this.
• 48:34
  Oh, 10 out of 10, no question. This movie is perfect and I love
• 48:37
  it. Yeah, yeah, it's got to get a 10
• 48:40
  for me too. This movie is amazing.
• 48:42
  I love this movie so much. And this right here.
• 48:46
  Like this series, I never really cared for it growing up, which
• 48:51
  is really weird. That's.
• 48:52
  A wild to me. It's a wild that like so it was
• 48:57
  like a year or two ago. I was like, I think I would
• 49:00
  really like you were like, hey, they're doing a sale on these
• 49:03
  movies. And no, they had just released.
• 49:05
  Or OK, yeah, yeah. And.
• 49:08
  We're like, yeah. Let's go ahead and watch through
• 49:10
  this. And it ignited something in me
• 49:15
  that I forgot existed. And you the whole time you're
• 49:19
  just like. Wow, these are a lot.
• 49:22
  Better than I remember. And I was like, there's so much
• 49:25
  fun. I just like, it's just like we
• 49:26
  became infected or something. I like, I fell in love with the
• 49:31
  series back last year. It was when we got all these and
• 49:35
  like I had seen some of the past few ones like Seed of Chucky.
• 49:39
  It's the weirdest thing. Chucky.
• 49:41
  I've never found him scary. There's never been a thing.
• 49:44
  Even as a child, like I, he was just never like a scary thing to
• 49:47
  me. Like I wasn't just not really
• 49:49
  interested in him. One of my best friends growing
• 49:51
  up was terrified of him, and we got him to actually not be
• 49:55
  afraid of Chucky by showing him Seed of Chucky.
• 49:58
  Once he watched that movie, he's like, oh, it's so scary.
• 50:01
  Yeah, we were able to do that, but like, I just never cared for
• 50:04
  it. But now, like, I'm watching them
• 50:06
  all and I fucking love every single one of them.
• 50:08
  It's an amazing series. Yes, yes.
• 50:11
  OK, so are we ready to kick this thing off?
• 50:14
  We are ready to boogie, Boogie. All right.
• 50:19
  We start off. Detective Mike Norris has found
• 50:21
  the Lakeshore Strangler. He's at Wabash and Van Buren.
• 50:25
  We get a little Bang Bang. We start this thing off of the
• 50:28
  whole fucking chase scene. Which is awesome it.
• 50:31
  Starts off like, like right off the bat we get Charles, we rave
• 50:35
  in the flesh. Yeah, so he, you know, there's a
• 50:41
  little bit of a shootout. He is hitting the leg and he's
• 50:43
  trying to run to his getaway van.
• 50:45
  Eddie Caputo, not a bro. He just drives off and Charles E
• 50:50
  Ray goes. His scream is in the scene man.
• 50:54
  He fucking sells it. It's like, don't leave.
• 50:57
  Yeah, he breaks into a toy store and he's kind of like sneaking
• 51:04
  her at, well, not really sneaking, but he's trying to
• 51:07
  evade Norris and it's not working.
• 51:10
  And it ends up with they're they're shooting at each other,
• 51:13
  but Norris ends up shooting him in the chest and he goes die,
• 51:19
  gotta find something. And he swears vengeance with his
• 51:24
  dying breath. He swears vengeance against Mike
• 51:27
  Norris and Eddie Caputo. What is it that he says?
• 51:31
  What's the exact line? Say it for me.
• 51:33
  I don't know. Oh, it's just I just wrote
• 51:39
  swears Vengeance. I did too.
• 51:40
  Oh, oh, actually I did write it down.
• 51:43
  No matter what. Yeah, as he's doing this, he
• 51:49
  stumbles into like a shit, like a fucking wall of good guy
• 51:53
  dolls. Like an insane this.
• 51:56
  I feel like this has to be close to Christmas because of the fact
• 52:00
  that this is a new release from a well known company.
• 52:03
  It's winter also. Yes.
• 52:05
  So I feel like it's got to be close to that, especially with
• 52:08
  the size of that display. And like, you got to know, like,
• 52:11
  he probably didn't choose this by choice, but he's like dying
• 52:14
  and he like falls on these. So it's like, ah fuck no.
• 52:18
  One is as desperate as a dying man, you know?
• 52:20
  I got to get in this doll, man, this fucking little doll.
• 52:22
  So he does the chance, Dan. Doll is it?
• 52:26
  And it just explodes the store. MM Norris goes flying through
• 52:30
  the like window. Or, as I wrote in my notes,
• 52:33
  Thunderbolts of Lightning. Very, very frightening.
• 52:37
  God, they. Leave.
• 52:41
  So we cut to a good guy cartoon. But poor little Andy, he's not
• 52:45
  hot. His birthday is starting off on
• 52:48
  a bad note because he's already seen this one dude.
• 52:51
  This Kidman, I love how he is able to just take care of
• 52:55
  himself he's got did he put the happy birthday better of himself
• 52:58
  I. Feel like he probably did.
• 53:00
  So high up, there's no way. Actually, no, I could see Karen
• 53:04
  hanging that up before she goes to bed.
• 53:05
  Sure. Yeah, I'm sure.
• 53:06
  Yeah. But like, it just almost feels
• 53:08
  like he's like, it's my birthday, I've got to put my
• 53:10
  party together. So he's like making the
• 53:13
  breakfast of champions for his mom here.
• 53:15
  And I like that he's making mom breakfast in bed on his.
• 53:18
  Birthday. It is really sweet.
• 53:20
  Sweet little boy. We're establishing that this is
• 53:22
  a sweet kid. Right.
• 53:23
  Yeah, He's like. He will make you breakfast on
• 53:26
  his birthday. Yes, And as he's making it, the
• 53:28
  reason the toast gets burned is because he gets distracted by a
• 53:30
  commercial showing that like, oh, now you can't just watch the
• 53:34
  Good Guy doll on TV, but you can have your very own Good Guy doll
• 53:37
  best friend. And we see is about two 2 1/2
• 53:41
  feet tall, comes in a nice large box.
• 53:43
  And he looks over by the window. There's a box roughly that size
• 53:47
  ramped up. And he's like, all right, we
• 53:49
  gotta skedaddle and wake mom up and.
• 53:51
  Get real excited. I don't know what's happening in
• 53:53
  that. So he goes in there and wakes
• 53:55
  her up and she does. A really good job of
• 53:59
  sidestepping eating that food. She does.
• 54:02
  It's nasty, man. Like OJ is spilled into the bowl
• 54:05
  of like cereal and like butter and toast.
• 54:09
  Food with the milk has probably had some very bad chemical
• 54:12
  reactions. It's probably a nasty mess.
• 54:15
  It's going to be a nightmare to clean up.
• 54:16
  It's just like, this looks so good, but I think we're just
• 54:20
  going to have to go out and open your presents.
• 54:22
  Yeah, which is a great way to get a kid, yeah.
• 54:25
  Absolutely. So of course he goes for the
• 54:27
  giant package, opens it up, what did you know, it is quotes.
• 54:34
  I just wrote in my notes, Mom. What the fuck?
• 54:39
  I know. And she was so excited.
• 54:40
  She was like, this is the one, this is the big one.
• 54:42
  You're going to love this shit. It's clothes, Andy pants.
• 54:45
  She even tried to make him open that one last like it was going
• 54:48
  to be the big finisher. Yeah, I know.
• 54:50
  Like, man. And then he's so clearly
• 54:52
  disappointed. She's like, oh, you wanted toys,
• 54:54
  OK. And then she gives him another
• 54:55
  one. And this time this good guy.
• 54:57
  Tool accessories. Accessories for a doll.
• 55:00
  He doesn't. Have Yeah, I know man.
• 55:02
  Like we've all been there. We've all gotten that present.
• 55:06
  It's like this is a thing for the other thing.
• 55:08
  So we love telling the story of my family and everybody's heard
• 55:12
  it, so I don't feel bad about sharing it on the show. 1
• 55:14
  Christmas when my little sister was, I wanna say like 12 or 13,
• 55:19
  she'd been begging for a cell phone for a while.
• 55:21
  Hadn't, you know, didn't have one at that point.
• 55:24
  And Tom gives her his gift and he's like, sorry, money's been
• 55:30
  really tight. I just didn't have a lot for you
• 55:33
  as a can of Pringles. And she was like.
• 55:35
  And she did the very. Andy disappointed but tried to
• 55:38
  play it off like a champ and she was like.
• 55:40
  Well, thank you, I. Appreciate the Pringles.
• 55:42
  And she starts to set it aside and he's like, well, don't you
• 55:44
  wanna eat some? And she's like, I guess.
• 55:47
  And so she opens it up and she picks up the Pringle.
• 55:50
  And underneath the Pringle was like a cell phone.
• 55:55
  And then I think she like deafened every dog in a 2 mile
• 55:58
  radius with her scream. But.
• 56:00
  That's awesome. Very this moment, but with the
• 56:03
  actual. But actually, good.
• 56:05
  That's how you're supposed to do it.
• 56:06
  Yeah. Take notes.
• 56:09
  Karen. OK, so yeah, he's like super
• 56:14
  disappointed. She's kind of bummed that he's
• 56:16
  disappointed. Yeah, she's like, I just didn't
• 56:18
  know about it in time to save up for it.
• 56:20
  This doll was $100. That's a lot in 1988 money for a
• 56:23
  fucking doll. Yeah.
• 56:24
  For sure man. Cut to her work.
• 56:27
  Her best friend Maggie is there and she has found a peddler in
• 56:31
  the alley that is selling it for cheap.
• 56:34
  Yes. So they go out there, they go
• 56:36
  investigate it. He is selling it for he is
• 56:38
  asking 50. They haggle it down to 30.
• 56:40
  Yes, yeah, Actually, Maggie wanted to haggle it down more
• 56:43
  because she was like, you don't even know that this is like a
• 56:45
  legit Don. She's like, you don't understand
• 56:47
  how bad Andy wants this. And I'm like, don't say this in
• 56:49
  front of the guy you're trying to buy it.
• 56:50
  From yeah, so like they insult him and they're like whatever
• 56:55
  he's like he he does like the crotch thing, but he like he
• 57:00
  doesn't do the crotch grab. He just like does like an air
• 57:02
  thrust. It's like, yeah, like suck this.
• 57:03
  And it's like poor form, man. That's not good.
• 57:07
  Yeah, So when they get back in there, the boss is very unamused
• 57:12
  that she left her station. And he's like, by the way,
• 57:15
  you're the person who's supposed to be here at 7:00 called in, so
• 57:18
  you're going to need to cover for her.
• 57:20
  And she's like, it's my son's birthday.
• 57:22
  And Maggie offers to cover for her, but he's like, your
• 57:25
  department is shoes, this is jewelry.
• 57:28
  I'm like, I think she could probably figure out how to ring
• 57:30
  it up. I will.
• 57:31
  I like that Maggie is like talk soon, like trying to like snap
• 57:35
  on this shit is like chill out Walter.
• 57:38
  Like get over yourself. Like she knows that he needs
• 57:42
  them there just as much as they need their jobs like.
• 57:45
  It's the holiday season. I think you're right because
• 57:47
  like it's, it seems to be very busy there.
• 57:49
  Dude, Maggie, if she wasn't about to be tragically killed in
• 57:53
  like 10 minutes, like she could be the president of a union by
• 57:56
  now, you know? Yeah.
• 57:57
  I think she I would, I would like to have her represent me
• 58:01
  and whatever thing so she offers to cover or watch Andy for her
• 58:07
  while she works for shift. Yeah, so in the two hour break,
• 58:10
  so she Karen still gets to leave at 5.
• 58:13
  She just has to be back by 7. So in that two hours she gets
• 58:15
  home and Andy sees her walk in with a big box and he goes,
• 58:19
  what's that? She goes, well, it's not
• 58:21
  groceries. And I'm like, why'd you go?
• 58:23
  Why don't you just say pants again like.
• 58:25
  Why? Why are you?
• 58:26
  Teasing this poor. Child.
• 58:29
  Deep down she hates him. She's like fuck you for that
• 58:32
  breakfast kid. Groceries.
• 58:34
  Are you going to make me some more disgusting fucking
• 58:36
  breakfast with these? Here do.
• 58:37
  You know how expensive a tub of butter is?
• 58:41
  Yeah, you dumped it all, covered it in OJ.
• 58:49
  So he opens it up and it's a good guy though.
• 58:53
  So Maggie is just watching Andy and Chucky play and the news is
• 58:59
  on in the background and in the background, which this is
• 59:01
  something that I didn't mention before because we got so
• 59:03
  distracted with the present and the the present fuckery and
• 59:06
  everything. But while they were unwrapping
• 59:09
  the presents, they were announcing the news of Charles
• 59:12
  Lee Ray's death on the news in the background.
• 59:15
  So Chucky's head turns when he hears the news come on.
• 59:19
  And then? I like that because they get
• 59:21
  like they've established, like it's a doll that moves on.
• 59:23
  So it's like, did he do that or did like the doll do?
• 59:26
  That yes. And we've watched so many like
• 59:28
  creepy YouTube videos where it's dolls like that and it's just
• 59:31
  like just enough that you're like, well.
• 59:36
  I'm watching that doll. It's like Talia where she like
• 59:38
  looks at our Chucky doll over. Here she's like I'm.
• 59:40
  Watching not trust this Chucky doll at all so yeah, Maggie
• 59:45
  tells Andy that him and Chucky need to go to bed and he goes
• 59:48
  buddy, I'm. Maggie Chucky wants to watch the
• 59:51
  9. O'clock news.
• 59:53
  He doors in such a pathetic way. It's so good.
• 59:57
  Not yeah. And this is Aunt Maggie is, and
• 1:00:00
  again, she could be the president of the union.
• 1:00:01
  I'm soft. I would have.
• 1:00:04
  Okay, okay. It's pretty great that you're a
• 1:00:06
  six year old kid and you want to stay up on current events.
• 1:00:10
  You probably need a civics lesson now because I feel like
• 1:00:12
  you're gonna need it sometime in the future.
• 1:00:16
  So she's cleaning up the kitchen while she thinks Andy's getting
• 1:00:20
  ready for your bed. And when she turns around, she
• 1:00:21
  sees Chucky in the living room, sitting on the armchair,
• 1:00:25
  watching the news that saying Eddie Caputo escaped during a
• 1:00:28
  prison bus transfer on his way to court.
• 1:00:32
  I've never picked it up watching them.
• 1:00:34
  That was yeah, I've always just been like watching Chucky.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, like I just, you know, in the past, I think I just heard
• 1:00:39
  like vague news about Eddie Caputo.
• 1:00:41
  I'm like, OK, so it's how many new?
• 1:00:42
  But like I was taken diligently. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:00:45
  Yeah. So Aunt Maggie brings it all
• 1:00:48
  back to the bedroom and she's like, oh, you think you're
• 1:00:50
  funny? Mr. Well, first she walks into
• 1:00:53
  him in the bathroom and she's like, what do you think you're
• 1:00:55
  doing? He goes.
• 1:00:55
  Brushing my teeth. And he looks like a rabid dog.
• 1:00:58
  He is full of Fujio at this point because he brushes his
• 1:01:02
  teeth the same way he makes breakfast.
• 1:01:04
  Again though, just starting off here, he's like, I didn't
• 1:01:06
  fucking do anything and everyone was like, Andy, you fucking
• 1:01:08
  motherfucker. Like.
• 1:01:10
  Do you think I had time to froth this toothpaste and move tucky?
• 1:01:14
  Into. The living room silently.
• 1:01:17
  And be into the news all at the same time in this climate.
• 1:01:21
  In this economy. So she tucks them in and when
• 1:01:29
  she turns off the line, closes the door and they turn around
• 1:01:32
  and said, I told you she wouldn't be OK with you watching
• 1:01:36
  the news. I know.
• 1:01:38
  Yeah. So she's in there.
• 1:01:40
  She's just kind of chilling. And then she starts to hear some
• 1:01:43
  footsteps or some shit going on. We get Chucky vision here.
• 1:01:46
  He's wandering through the halls.
• 1:01:47
  Yes, she has gone through and she has closed all the windows
• 1:01:51
  because it's chilly because it's Chicago in the winter.
• 1:01:53
  Yeah. So she is looking around and she
• 1:02:00
  sees some flower on the floor, which is a real bummer because
• 1:02:02
  she just cleaned the kitchen. Up.
• 1:02:06
  Yeah, so she is starting to clean up and she gets a call and
• 1:02:10
  it's from Karen. And I like the way that, like,
• 1:02:12
  she's acting a little weird and Karen's like, what's up?
• 1:02:14
  And she goes nothing. It's just, you know, when you're
• 1:02:17
  alone in an apartment at night and it's creepy.
• 1:02:20
  And Karen's like, yeah, that's true.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah. Everybody's been there.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah, It's a relatable experience.
• 1:02:26
  So they hang up and she's looking around and then she
• 1:02:30
  starts cleaning up a little bit more and she thinks that maybe a
• 1:02:34
  plan or something got moved and she was like, it's Andy Band
• 1:02:37
  Trigger Andy, and she's looking for him.
• 1:02:42
  And then she kind of realizes that she's being silly.
• 1:02:45
  And just as she comes to this realization, smack to the head
• 1:02:50
  with a hammer and she falls backwards through a window that
• 1:02:54
  seems like it's probably not safe to have around a six year
• 1:02:56
  old child. It busts very easily, yes.
• 1:02:59
  It did not take a while for that thing to burst.
• 1:03:02
  And she falls right onto a truck.
• 1:03:04
  Yeah, Like it would have been enough to see her to, like, get
• 1:03:06
  the hammer and fall through the window.
• 1:03:08
  But they're like, no, let's show her.
• 1:03:09
  Hit the truck too like. Imagine for a second, though,
• 1:03:12
  that you're the owner of that truck and you're so stoked
• 1:03:15
  because you finally got the good parking for once that.
• 1:03:19
  Is a. Seinfeld episode.
• 1:03:20
  Oh my God. George actually got the good spy
• 1:03:24
  and a guy jumped off of a building and landed on his car.
• 1:03:28
  Yeah, we should watch that episode.
• 1:03:30
  So you know exactly how you can't imagine it.
• 1:03:36
  So Karen comes home and she sees all the cops so she gets worried
• 1:03:39
  immediately and. Here.
• 1:03:41
  Here's the thing though, I understand her immediate her
• 1:03:44
  immediate hostility to the cops because her apartments a crime
• 1:03:48
  scene and nobody has called her her child and best render in
• 1:03:53
  there. You know what I wouldn't, I
• 1:03:56
  wouldn't doubt it that the cops called and Walter was like, no.
• 1:04:01
  She cannot. She's working.
• 1:04:02
  We do not have coverage. You're in the cop department.
• 1:04:05
  This is shoes. No Karen's and jewelry.
• 1:04:09
  Oh, jewelry. If there were shoes that needed
• 1:04:11
  coverage, it would be Maggie. We wouldn't have this issue.
• 1:04:14
  She's dead. Yeah, now he's got a real
• 1:04:18
  problem that he's going to start cross training some fuckers now,
• 1:04:20
  isn't he? No, just making everybody else's
• 1:04:24
  problem that he's in a bad mood. Yeah, So yeah, she's like super
• 1:04:29
  hostile to the cops. She's like, get the fuck out of
• 1:04:31
  here. My kid experienced something
• 1:04:32
  very tragic and I want to be here with him and the cop is
• 1:04:35
  like fair. So.
• 1:04:36
  Everybody. But first, he's like, I do want
• 1:04:39
  to point out that it's very interesting that we've got these
• 1:04:42
  tiny footprints and this flower on this counter.
• 1:04:45
  That's weird, right? And she's like, what the fuck
• 1:04:49
  are you implying? Yeah, like, first of all, my
• 1:04:52
  child doesn't run across the top of the counters.
• 1:04:55
  He goes no, no, I already checked your kids shoes.
• 1:04:57
  How long have you been here, Michael?
• 1:05:02
  Michael. Michael And so Andy comes out
• 1:05:07
  and he's doing his adorable little thing and yeah, Maggie.
• 1:05:11
  OK, Yeah. No, and then the cop looks like
• 1:05:16
  he goes. That's all in your feet.
• 1:05:17
  Kid and goes. My good guy pajama house shoes.
• 1:05:21
  Whatever the fuck they're called, I don't.
• 1:05:22
  There doesn't need to be sneakers attached to pajamas.
• 1:05:24
  That just seems like a nightmare for parents.
• 1:05:26
  It's like Footsie pajamas. Yeah, except they're like actual
• 1:05:29
  like. Hard rubber soles.
• 1:05:30
  Yeah, I they needed it for this scene.
• 1:05:33
  Yeah, we need to be able to have the imprint of the good guy.
• 1:05:36
  Yeah, and then this detective, he's like playing bad cop to a
• 1:05:40
  six year old, which I just think is like small pee pee energy if
• 1:05:43
  there ever is any, you know what I mean?
• 1:05:45
  And he's like, oh, look at these shapes on the shoe.
• 1:05:48
  There's. A.
• 1:05:49
  Hammer and a screwdriver, and that's when Karen's like, get
• 1:05:53
  the fuck out of me. Now he also says a gun in in my
• 1:05:56
  head, I'm like a fucking gun. No, because the Good Guy dolls
• 1:05:59
  do have guns. Why the fuck do they have guns?
• 1:06:04
  Do I need to point out how many times you've gotten into
• 1:06:07
  shooting matches with our nephews and their various Nerf
• 1:06:10
  guns? But that doesn't come with like
• 1:06:12
  a little toy that's like, hey, I'm a good guy.
• 1:06:15
  Is the toy. A gun, yes, no different types
• 1:06:19
  of toys. Barbie doesn't have a gun.
• 1:06:22
  You know what I'm saying, but she don't unless somebody's
• 1:06:30
  going to be like on actually misses.
• 1:06:35
  I'm trying to think of some Barbie sling that would work for
• 1:06:39
  GAT girl. Yeah, girl, Barbie clock.
• 1:06:45
  Second Amendment Barbie. Oh man, don't give them ideas.
• 1:06:54
  No, I don't think the Barbie company would do that.
• 1:06:57
  I do think that like some Uber conservative person be like, we
• 1:07:01
  do need that, but they're not listening to our show.
• 1:07:03
  They piece the fuck out as soon as you're like pride month.
• 1:07:06
  Oh. Yeah, so Chucky.
• 1:07:09
  'S shoes have flower on them yeah so Andy being the bright
• 1:07:14
  and wanting to help child that he is, runs out to tell his mom
• 1:07:18
  that. Detective, he goes look Chucky.
• 1:07:21
  'S shoes. Have flowers on them.
• 1:07:23
  Flowers. Flowers.
• 1:07:26
  Handguns again. She's like, fucking stop it,
• 1:07:29
  Andy. Like Andy's like.
• 1:07:31
  She's like, no one believes you. Those are the exact words that.
• 1:07:34
  She's yeah, she's like stop saying the shit.
• 1:07:36
  And then so she gets the, she gets everybody at the house and
• 1:07:39
  she comes in, she's like, Andy, we need to really talk about
• 1:07:43
  what happened. And I need you to understand
• 1:07:46
  that nobody believes it's the doll.
• 1:07:47
  And he goes. Are you just?
• 1:07:49
  Upset at me. Because of what happened to Aunt
• 1:07:52
  Maggie. Why?
• 1:07:56
  Are you doing? This to our hearts.
• 1:07:58
  It's so sad. Maybe.
• 1:08:00
  Andy is the real villain because he is breaking my heart.
• 1:08:05
  Maybe you're the killer because that got.
• 1:08:08
  Deep element. He he he.
• 1:08:10
  Maybe he would grow up to be a Dewey.
• 1:08:13
  OK, so she asked Andy what Chucky has been saying to him
• 1:08:19
  and she said that he is really Charles E Ray and was sent from
• 1:08:23
  heaven by Daddy to play with him and that Aunt Maggie was a bitch
• 1:08:27
  and got what she deserved. Which is what led to the whole,
• 1:08:30
  like, yelling and him going, Are you just upset because yeah,
• 1:08:33
  Aunt Maggie is a flatter than a pancake.
• 1:08:37
  So she leaves, but she like stays outside the door and you
• 1:08:41
  see Chucky look over there and clock that she's still
• 1:08:44
  eavesdropping. So he like does the like good
• 1:08:47
  guy but was like I like to be hugged or whatever.
• 1:08:49
  I like to be hugged. Yeah.
• 1:08:51
  And then like he just like gets a hug for me and they and they
• 1:08:53
  go to bed. The next day she drops Andy off
• 1:08:55
  at school, and because it's 1988 and there aren't intense
• 1:08:58
  security protocols, she doesn't have to sign him in or anything.
• 1:09:01
  So she drops him closest to the front door and walks away.
• 1:09:06
  Nobody. Questions him.
• 1:09:07
  Just turning right around and walking out the door.
• 1:09:10
  Nobody stops the kid. Listen, all of these adults on
• 1:09:14
  this train see this child in this doll.
• 1:09:18
  They don't do anything. I get minding your own business,
• 1:09:22
  but if I baby no. If I have learned anything from
• 1:09:25
  seeing videos of like metropolitan areas, subways,
• 1:09:30
  nobody gives a fuck and it's like wild wild western area.
• 1:09:33
  Like it's insane shit always, just from my experience of
• 1:09:38
  seeing shit and we've been on some and it's usually the case.
• 1:09:41
  Yeah, yeah. No, that is fair.
• 1:09:43
  Like when you're on a train like that, you just kind of want to.
• 1:09:46
  Just don't be. There, engage as little as
• 1:09:50
  possible with anyone around you. Which is what happens.
• 1:09:52
  You're just there. And he's like, even, like
• 1:09:53
  whispering the Chucky on the train right there.
• 1:09:55
  And you can tell the trains going to a bad part of town.
• 1:09:58
  Yeah. And he's starting to, like, walk
• 1:10:01
  around getting off the train. And he's like, at this, like,
• 1:10:04
  abandoned, like, he's like walking through, like where
• 1:10:07
  homeless people are. And he is like getting to like
• 1:10:10
  run down homes and shit. And he makes it to a house and
• 1:10:14
  then there's like this random rocking chair out there and he
• 1:10:16
  sits Chucky down there. He's like, I got to go tinkle.
• 1:10:18
  So he goes like, walk away tinkle.
• 1:10:21
  I know. So he goes to go do that.
• 1:10:23
  And we get Chucky vision. He runs into the house and we
• 1:10:27
  see that this is where Eddie Caputo is staying.
• 1:10:31
  Yeah, so we see Eddie Caputo is on high alert because, you know,
• 1:10:35
  he's a one night criminal. Yeah, and he's like sleeping
• 1:10:39
  with a gun. As soon as he hears a vague
• 1:10:41
  sound, he's like up and he's. He's blasting, Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  He's just shooting all throughout this house.
• 1:10:46
  It's like no questions asked. And the reason why I think
• 1:10:49
  Charles Lee Ray was probably the brains of the operation.
• 1:10:52
  Yeah, definitely, yeah. Cuz downstairs what he's done is
• 1:10:56
  turn out the pilot light in the stove.
• 1:10:58
  I don't know if that's the right term, but yeah.
• 1:11:01
  And just keep the gas on. So when he is down in the
• 1:11:05
  kitchen, he makes enough sound that Eddie comes in and
• 1:11:07
  immediately shoots him. He does.
• 1:11:10
  Big explosion. We get a lot of explosions in
• 1:11:12
  this movie, kind of. Surprising, yeah, on a $9
• 1:11:14
  million budget, that's. Pretty, yeah.
• 1:11:16
  Exploited up, baby. I love it so, Karen.
• 1:11:20
  Is called to the station by Norris.
• 1:11:22
  Yeah, and Andy is talking to the other detective.
• 1:11:25
  Do you think he read on his Miranda rights?
• 1:11:28
  You have the right to be an attorney.
• 1:11:30
  That's. True, you do have the right.
• 1:11:33
  You do have the right so she she tells Andy nobody believes him
• 1:11:40
  about the doll and she must tell the truth or he's going to be
• 1:11:43
  taken away. And you can see poor little Andy
• 1:11:47
  understands the gravity of what she like.
• 1:11:50
  He gets it. But also he doesn't lie so he
• 1:11:55
  doesn't have a cover up for this and Chucky did not give him an
• 1:11:59
  alibi. He, he takes the shit that
• 1:12:02
  people have been giving him and he like directs.
• 1:12:04
  He like, outputs it towards Chucky.
• 1:12:06
  He's like, all right, fucking talk Chucky.
• 1:12:08
  Nobody's believe me. He talks.
• 1:12:10
  What are you fucking stupid? Snack is a dog.
• 1:12:12
  Nobody believes you. Shut the fuck up.
• 1:12:15
  You can't watch the 9:00 news. Brush your teeth.
• 1:12:18
  And then the two way mirror comes up and the doctor's like,
• 1:12:23
  I've seen quite enough. We're admitting him.
• 1:12:25
  Yeah, that's good. It's not well.
• 1:12:28
  So Karen takes Chucky home and this is this is a very sad kind
• 1:12:33
  of moment 'cause you can tell she's just completely defeated
• 1:12:37
  and she's about to be alone in this apartment.
• 1:12:39
  And also, this is a nice fucking apartment in Chicago.
• 1:12:43
  How is she affording this on her department store salary?
• 1:12:47
  Maybe she's got like survivor benefits from her husband.
• 1:12:50
  Could be, could be rent controlled you never.
• 1:12:52
  Know. Oh, yeah.
• 1:12:53
  Yeah. Anyway, she's, you know, just
• 1:12:56
  kind of wandering around as you do in this situation.
• 1:12:59
  And she sees the box that Chucky's in, 'cause I cannot
• 1:13:02
  emphasize enough that it has been less than 24 hours since
• 1:13:06
  this doll came into their lives. Yeah.
• 1:13:09
  Alright, no, yes, less than 24 hours.
• 1:13:11
  Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about the fact
• 1:13:13
  that Andy got tucked in twice, but that was twice in the same.
• 1:13:15
  Night. And so she picks up the box and
• 1:13:18
  she's kind of looking at it and then the batteries fall out and
• 1:13:24
  she has like this panic moments. This is batteries included.
• 1:13:27
  And she's, they don't say this out loud, but I think the
• 1:13:32
  logical thing is that she's going to go check because maybe
• 1:13:36
  extra batteries, yeah, maybe even though the toys don't come
• 1:13:40
  with that or. Maybe Aunt Maggie didn't know
• 1:13:43
  that it came with batteries and she just grabs some batteries
• 1:13:45
  from a drawer or something. You don't know.
• 1:13:47
  So she goes over there and picks it up and she checks the
• 1:13:50
  batteries and there are no batteries.
• 1:13:53
  And then his head turns around and goes, hi, I'm Chucky, wanna
• 1:13:58
  play? It's a little bit more.
• 1:13:59
  Aggressive. The delivery is.
• 1:14:01
  I like it. Yeah.
• 1:14:02
  So she drops it, rolls underneath the couch.
• 1:14:04
  Tricky place to cool here, Decides to not like boy was
• 1:14:06
  covered fully. Yeah, and then she's like
• 1:14:09
  shaking him and she's like, talk, Danny, talk.
• 1:14:11
  And then she turns on the fireplace.
• 1:14:12
  She's like, if you don't talk, I'm throwing you in the fire.
• 1:14:15
  And he's like, you bitch, you thought you fucking piece of
• 1:14:18
  shit. I love it.
• 1:14:20
  It's like unleashes on her. I love, I think part of what
• 1:14:25
  necessitates this franchise being R rated, especially this
• 1:14:28
  first one, is because you're not supposed to see a little doll
• 1:14:31
  like that and use the language. Yeah, I know.
• 1:14:33
  It's, it's so, I mean, I love it.
• 1:14:35
  It's so great. I love how he's just such an
• 1:14:38
  outwardly shitty person. So they fight for a minute,
• 1:14:42
  Chucky runs out, he gets into the elevator and Karen is trying
• 1:14:46
  to keep pace with the elevator, but it's a losing battle because
• 1:14:49
  they've got like MC Escher stairs in this.
• 1:14:52
  Park she like trips and falls. Into the wall.
• 1:14:54
  Too, Yeah. Yeah, she really goes face her
• 1:14:56
  way down the staircase, and Chucky has gotten out first and
• 1:15:01
  he is disappeared. Yeah.
• 1:15:04
  So Karen runs to the police station, and she tells Detective
• 1:15:07
  Nora she goes. Yeah, So it turns out Andy was
• 1:15:10
  telling the truth. The doll is alive, which I know
• 1:15:12
  because I tried to throw him in the fire, and he bit me.
• 1:15:14
  And he's like, what? She shows the bite mark.
• 1:15:16
  And he's like, you need to go home.
• 1:15:21
  And she's like, fine, then if you're not going to help me to
• 1:15:24
  figure out a way to exonerate my son, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna
• 1:15:27
  find the answers to myself. And he's like, how are you gonna
• 1:15:29
  do that? She goes, I'm gonna go talk to
• 1:15:30
  the peddler I bought him from. He goes.
• 1:15:31
  You can't go to that part of town at night.
• 1:15:34
  Yeah. He's very immediately.
• 1:15:36
  Concerned. And you can kind of see it in
• 1:15:37
  his face. Size.
• 1:15:38
  He's like. Fine.
• 1:15:40
  It's like we're at shaking these a few years ago and there's the
• 1:15:43
  one bouncer at the rowdiest stage where there's like the
• 1:15:46
  most washing and crowd surfing and I want to say it was with
• 1:15:51
  low cut Connie when Adam jumped into the crowd.
• 1:15:53
  And the. Sounds are like you.
• 1:15:55
  He just like died a little inside.
• 1:15:58
  God damn. And he?
• 1:15:58
  Jumped the barrier and followed him through.
• 1:16:01
  The crowd to keep him safe. He's like, this is my fucking
• 1:16:04
  job. So she wanders around.
• 1:16:08
  She ends up, it's like a montage of her just asking all kinds of
• 1:16:11
  people. Nobody knows, but they're like
• 1:16:13
  giving her enough clues. And she eventually finds him.
• 1:16:16
  And she asks, She's like, hey, can you at least tell me?
• 1:16:18
  He's like, I mean, what you got? So she's like, I don't have
• 1:16:21
  much. Here's the money.
• 1:16:22
  He's like, that's not enough, What are you talking about?
• 1:16:23
  And she's like, I don't have anything else.
• 1:16:25
  He's like, no, you got plenty to give.
• 1:16:27
  So he tries to. And as he is pinning her down on
• 1:16:33
  the car, Norris shows up, brandishes his gun, fucking
• 1:16:37
  squawks him with it, pistol whips him or something.
• 1:16:40
  And then everybody's like, walks it out of there.
• 1:16:43
  So he gets him to talk. He's like, all right, I got it
• 1:16:45
  from the burnout. Toy store on Wabash.
• 1:16:48
  Which Norris is starting. Like, that's weird.
• 1:16:50
  That's exactly where I shot Charles.
• 1:16:53
  Yeah, Norris tells her after they've gotten away.
• 1:16:56
  He tells her about the shooting and the threat that he made with
• 1:16:59
  his dying breath. And she was like, well, then we
• 1:17:03
  need to, you know, we need to check out Charles Lee Ray.
• 1:17:06
  Like, let's go to his house. And he was like, I already did.
• 1:17:09
  And she was like, maybe if we go together, he's like, here's the
• 1:17:12
  address, but I'm just telling you there's nothing there.
• 1:17:16
  And she was like, but you can't go home if he threatened your
• 1:17:20
  life. He already got out of Caputo.
• 1:17:21
  Yeah. So you're next.
• 1:17:22
  Yeah, he's coming for you. You shouldn't go home.
• 1:17:24
  And he was like, I'm the cop. He was like, fuck that, well all
• 1:17:27
  right, I'm taking you home. So he drops her off.
• 1:17:30
  So he goes to the station and grabs something.
• 1:17:33
  It's the file for Charles Lee Ray.
• 1:17:34
  It's the file for Charles Lee Ray.
• 1:17:36
  I don't know if we knew that. No, they show it.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah, they show him, grab the file.
• 1:17:40
  So yeah, he gets back in his car and he's driving back home.
• 1:17:43
  And then as he's driving, Chucky comes up from behind, strangles
• 1:17:46
  him with a wire or some. Shit, it's jumper cables.
• 1:17:49
  Jumper cables, OK. And luckily Mike Norris is a
• 1:17:53
  smoker and this is 1988, so they have like a little slider.
• 1:17:56
  Yeah, but you have to warm it up.
• 1:17:58
  Yeah, but he had already. Done it because he's a smoker.
• 1:18:00
  He. Had pushed it?
• 1:18:01
  No, he pushed it before he got choked.
• 1:18:03
  Did. He.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, OK, I thought he. No, no.
• 1:18:06
  So it was already heated up. So he's getting choked, and by
• 1:18:08
  the time he realizes what's happening, he grabs the lighter
• 1:18:11
  and burns Chucky's face. Yeah.
• 1:18:14
  So Chucky climbs underneath. Yeah, he's got contingency
• 1:18:17
  plans. He's the Lakeshore Strangler, so
• 1:18:19
  obviously that's the first thing he's going to go for.
• 1:18:21
  That's fair. Yeah.
• 1:18:23
  I mean, stick to it, you know, so.
• 1:18:25
  He's got a knife now too, and he's stabbing through the seat
• 1:18:28
  from the back. Then he gets underneath the seat
• 1:18:30
  and starts stabbing at his like crotching butt, which the
• 1:18:33
  driving position of this guy here, he's like hovering over
• 1:18:36
  the seat. Like how?
• 1:18:37
  Long are this fucker's legs it. Would be, I would love to like
• 1:18:40
  be the person driving down the road and I'll look over to my
• 1:18:43
  left and I see this motherfucker just over here just like
• 1:18:45
  hovering on his seat, just driving his.
• 1:18:48
  Fast. Yeah, I like him.
• 1:18:49
  He's gonna be at Scare Fest this year and I kind of go like that
• 1:18:51
  guy is. Yeah.
• 1:18:52
  Oh. Fucking.
• 1:18:53
  You have long legs. I'm gonna see how long your legs
• 1:18:55
  are. Can you, like, see it?
• 1:18:56
  Yeah. In the chair take.
• 1:18:57
  A chair for a second and pretend you're being stabbed but also
• 1:19:00
  still driving a. Car no, we're.
• 1:19:01
  Gonna it's gonna be like, all right, Hey, like, OK, we got
• 1:19:04
  your autograph. Can we get your picture?
• 1:19:05
  Is like, OK, sure. Stand over here.
• 1:19:07
  Let's just like shake him or whatever, like no stay in your
• 1:19:09
  seat. But pretend you're driving like
• 1:19:11
  you're being stabbed in the balls.
• 1:19:12
  And we're not going to be in the picture.
• 1:19:13
  We just are taking a picture of you, however like that.
• 1:19:19
  So it goes on and then a wreck happens.
• 1:19:23
  He flips the car. Yeah, and there's like a little
• 1:19:26
  bit like Chucky's playing with him some.
• 1:19:28
  He's enjoying, but he's trapped. But then Norris shoots him, so
• 1:19:32
  Chucky runs off. So let's see where we at.
• 1:19:40
  Karen arrives at Charles's place and I have written here.
• 1:19:46
  He's either an artist or a collector of art.
• 1:19:49
  Because did you like, check his fucking?
• 1:19:52
  Situation on the wall. I do think maybe.
• 1:19:56
  You know what though, I could also see it because we know
• 1:19:58
  later that he would have been with Tiffany at this time.
• 1:20:01
  I could see Tiffany being like. Let's check the place.
• 1:20:04
  I could see that too. Get a.
• 1:20:06
  Little nice to Devala. On the.
• 1:20:08
  Wall. Now that's a retcon.
• 1:20:10
  Yeah. But I could see that actually
• 1:20:12
  being true. Yeah, that's in my 2024 lens.
• 1:20:18
  This is my interpretation as Tiffany did the paint.
• 1:20:21
  On the wall. So Norris actually is there too.
• 1:20:25
  Like he's like all right, fuck it, I'm gonna go through with
• 1:20:27
  this shit cuz he just attacked me.
• 1:20:28
  Yeah, he says that he pulled Charles Lee Ray's file, known
• 1:20:33
  alias Chucky. Duh.
• 1:20:36
  This is. Fucking.
• 1:20:37
  Nickname for. Charles, this is not like brand
• 1:20:40
  new information. Look.
• 1:20:42
  At this shit, we're about Chucky, sometimes even Chuck.
• 1:20:48
  He said also one of his known acquaintances is John Bishop,
• 1:20:52
  who is a follower of Dembala. So Chucky has gotten there
• 1:20:59
  first. He has found John Bishop and he
• 1:21:02
  said I. I thought you.
• 1:21:05
  Gave me the key to immortality. I didn't think I could get hurt
• 1:21:10
  in this body, but I got shot and guess what?
• 1:21:13
  It hurt and I'm bleeding. And John's like, yeah, you're
• 1:21:18
  becoming more human. And he's like.
• 1:21:22
  What the fuck is that? About and he goes.
• 1:21:23
  There's a way to finalize this, but I'm not going to tell you
• 1:21:26
  because you're using this for evil instead of for good, and
• 1:21:30
  you're perverting what it's about.
• 1:21:32
  And then Chuck is like, OK, that's all good and well, except
• 1:21:34
  you probably shouldn't have shown me where you keep your own
• 1:21:36
  personal fucking voodoo doll. Yeah, why would you?
• 1:21:38
  Why? Why do you have your own voodoo
• 1:21:40
  doll for yourself? And why would you show renowned
• 1:21:44
  serial killer Charles Lee Ray where it is?
• 1:21:47
  Nothing about this guy ever would have been like I'm going
• 1:21:50
  to show him something very intimate and personal.
• 1:21:54
  It just seems like one of those things that you don't show
• 1:21:55
  anybody ever. Maybe somebody that you like
• 1:21:57
  actually trust, but maybe, I don't know, maybe he built that
• 1:22:01
  trust somehow. He's like a student of his for
• 1:22:03
  a. While that is true, that is.
• 1:22:05
  True. So yeah, so he starts using.
• 1:22:06
  He's like breaking as a limbs with it, trying to get the
• 1:22:09
  answers. Yeah.
• 1:22:10
  And then this is where he tells him he's like, all right, well,
• 1:22:12
  you got to use the body like of the person that you first told
• 1:22:17
  that you were. Like you changed the body.
• 1:22:22
  It's fucking goofy. Yeah.
• 1:22:24
  Like what the fuck? I do like that they kind of
• 1:22:26
  acknowledge how funny this turn of events is because it's like,
• 1:22:29
  oh, to get out of the body of a doll you have to go into the
• 1:22:33
  body of a six year old boy. It doesn't really solve his like
• 1:22:37
  problem of needing to be able to get around the world.
• 1:22:40
  And it leads to probably one of the worst lines.
• 1:22:42
  He's like, all right, see you, John.
• 1:22:43
  I got a date with a six year old kid.
• 1:22:46
  Like, come on, man. He meant it that way, you know.
• 1:22:49
  He meant it to sound as gross as.
• 1:22:51
  Possible. I like to imagine that even for
• 1:22:53
  him, like he said that out loud, he's like something a lot better
• 1:22:56
  in my head. He's like.
• 1:22:58
  That's. That's a line too far.
• 1:22:59
  Even for me didn't that did not come out as great as I thought.
• 1:23:03
  Norris and Karen arrive as John is dying and he's like, you must
• 1:23:07
  stop him before he completes the chant.
• 1:23:09
  His heart is almost human and for the heart.
• 1:23:12
  Yeah, save the kids. And I like this.
• 1:23:14
  That's a change from typical hormones where you aim for the
• 1:23:16
  head. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:23:18
  Yeah, yeah. So Andy sees Chucky from the
• 1:23:21
  window in his little, like, cell, and he calls for help.
• 1:23:24
  And Doctor Ardmardabish. I can't read my.
• 1:23:29
  I can't read what I wrote. Ardmore.
• 1:23:32
  I think it's Ardmore. OK.
• 1:23:34
  It's blending into my other words.
• 1:23:36
  Ardmore doesn't believe Andy, and then Andy starts crying and
• 1:23:41
  it's heartbreaking, Yeah. Maybe he's like seeing Chucky's
• 1:23:43
  skill, the fucking building and then we see Chucky.
• 1:23:46
  He is like outside the window of there, so he like climbs in.
• 1:23:49
  He sees the key to Andy's cell, so he gets the keys.
• 1:23:54
  But Andy, he's smart. We've seen this throughout the
• 1:23:57
  movie. He's not just a sweet little
• 1:23:59
  Angel, he's a sweet little genius Angel.
• 1:24:03
  And he has put pillows on the bed and then as Chucky comes in
• 1:24:08
  to stab him, he sneaks out through the door and locks him
• 1:24:11
  in it. Yeah, that doesn't really work
• 1:24:13
  cuz Chucky can climb right out the window.
• 1:24:16
  Yeah, plus I think he might still have the key.
• 1:24:18
  Yeah, I. Don't know if you can unlock it
• 1:24:20
  from the other side but whatever.
• 1:24:21
  So Andy has got into a room that kinda looks like like an
• 1:24:24
  operating room. Why?
• 1:24:25
  I don't know, but there's like a scalpel and.
• 1:24:28
  I don't. Yeah.
• 1:24:29
  You know, it's really weird. I thought that this was like a
• 1:24:31
  place where they were doing like psychiatric shit because he also
• 1:24:33
  have like the shock treatment. Yeah.
• 1:24:35
  So I don't know but. Like, why would we need a
• 1:24:37
  scalpel anyway? He's like, he looks very much
• 1:24:39
  like Gage in Pet Cemetery. Like, walking around with that
• 1:24:43
  little scalpel, except 10 times sweeter, 110 times sweeter.
• 1:24:52
  And the doctor comes in and he's like, I'm just gonna give you a
• 1:24:55
  shot. And Andy is, like, fighting for
• 1:24:57
  his life against it, which I feel like at this point, if he
• 1:24:59
  was fighting that hard, he would probably call a team
• 1:25:00
  intervention to have more people assist in giving the shot.
• 1:25:03
  But that's just, you know, my speculation on the situation.
• 1:25:07
  And as he's about to do this, Chucky comes in and he stabs the
• 1:25:11
  doc, and then he shocks him to death.
• 1:25:13
  Yeah, just like puts it on his head.
• 1:25:15
  Just yeah. He's like fried.
• 1:25:17
  And one of the things that I love is that later we'll see
• 1:25:19
  instances of this where, like, it seems like maybe Chucky was
• 1:25:23
  almost shaped by these moments where he's like, this guy's a
• 1:25:25
  fucking asshole. Yeah.
• 1:25:27
  He's more open about it later on, like when it's, I don't
• 1:25:32
  remember the character's name. Fiona, when she when she's
• 1:25:35
  there. And he goes, yeah, Nika, when
• 1:25:38
  he's like, God, this guy's, he's like, I know I am a murderer,
• 1:25:42
  but this guy's the worst. Yeah, this guy's an asshole,
• 1:25:46
  Yeah. So Norris and Karen arrived to
• 1:25:49
  the hospital, but Andy is already gone.
• 1:25:51
  And the detective is, like, explaining kind of the
• 1:25:53
  situation. And he's like, yeah, he killed
• 1:25:56
  the doctor. So, you know, your son's kind of
• 1:25:59
  a spree killer right now. And Karen's like, that's not
• 1:26:01
  true. And Norris is like, I can't, I
• 1:26:04
  can't get into this right now. We got to figure out where Andy
• 1:26:07
  is. And Karen's like I always told
• 1:26:08
  him, if something is wrong, go home.
• 1:26:12
  How does he know how to get home?
• 1:26:14
  That's good. How does he know how to navigate
• 1:26:16
  Chicago? Chucky taught him.
• 1:26:18
  Chucky taught. Him how to read the.
• 1:26:20
  Math maybe, I don't know. So okay, he's home.
• 1:26:24
  And then we see Chucky is also there.
• 1:26:26
  Chucky is in the elevator riding up, and this is where the
• 1:26:28
  tenants of the apartment are also in there.
• 1:26:30
  And that's an ugly doll. Yeah.
• 1:26:32
  Fuck you. So Andy is like barricading the
• 1:26:35
  door, except it's adorable because, like, he's barricading
• 1:26:38
  it with furniture that's light enough for him.
• 1:26:40
  To live. Yeah, but he's also a doll, so
• 1:26:43
  like, you know, evenly matched. Yeah, I.
• 1:26:45
  Get it? I just think it's like so sweet
• 1:26:47
  because like he's doing the thing that he thinks he's
• 1:26:50
  supposed to be doing, but he's just like missing the mark.
• 1:26:53
  But yeah, he's. He's still a six year old kid,
• 1:26:56
  yeah. It.
• 1:26:56
  Doesn't and that's that's what's.
• 1:26:58
  Great about this movie is that it like balances like him not
• 1:27:01
  being so genius that you're like this is unrealistic for a six
• 1:27:05
  year old. We still have moments like this.
• 1:27:07
  Yeah, yeah, where he does like a little foolish.
• 1:27:09
  Yeah, yeah. Chucky's still manages to make
• 1:27:12
  his way in there and he. Comes through like Santa Claus.
• 1:27:15
  Yeah, through the chimney. Yeah, man, I love that.
• 1:27:17
  And then he like kicks out the gate.
• 1:27:20
  The Great. Yeah.
• 1:27:22
  Grabs a bat, bangs, bonks. I should say Andy on the head.
• 1:27:26
  Well, to be fair, Andy tried to hit him with the bat 1st and
• 1:27:30
  drops the bat and ran and so Chucky took the bat and then
• 1:27:34
  bonked him. Yeah, bonked him.
• 1:27:35
  Bonked him real hard. Yeah, he's knocked out.
• 1:27:38
  He's now trying to perform the chant.
• 1:27:40
  Yeah, but Karen and Norris arrived to and interrupt it
• 1:27:43
  before it's completed. Thank goodness.
• 1:27:46
  So Chucky stabs Norris in the leg and Norris gives Karen one
• 1:27:51
  of his guns and he starts searching through the apartment
• 1:27:54
  because Chucky has gone and hidden and then he ends up
• 1:27:59
  hitting. He hits Norris with the back and
• 1:28:03
  then as as as he's about to go in for the killing, woke Karen
• 1:28:06
  comes in with a gun and shoots Chucky.
• 1:28:07
  Yeah, so there's like a whole big fight and then she ends up
• 1:28:11
  throwing him in the fireplace and she's trying to light it,
• 1:28:13
  but she can't reach the matches because they've fallen to the
• 1:28:15
  floor and she has Andy come grab one and he's like, cuz he can
• 1:28:19
  feel pain at this point. So it's not even just like, I
• 1:28:22
  don't want to die, I don't want to burn to death.
• 1:28:24
  And he's like, Andy, wait, I'm your friend to the end,
• 1:28:27
  remember? And Andy goes.
• 1:28:29
  This is the end, friend. Fucking one liner from Andy.
• 1:28:34
  I can't believe he did it. Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  I never thought I would say like a six year old sounds badass
• 1:28:38
  delivering a line, but he sounds badass delivering a line.
• 1:28:41
  He did it, Yeah. So he's on fire.
• 1:28:43
  We got a sweet ass fire sun because this is an actual yeah
• 1:28:46
  person in like a Chucky suit. Yeah, burning here.
• 1:28:51
  And yeah, so he's like a fucking crisp.
• 1:28:54
  And then like everything's cool. And then they're like, OK, Karen
• 1:28:58
  tells Andy to go get the first aid kit.
• 1:29:01
  Yeah, to to help Mike. And when he gets out there, it's
• 1:29:04
  very Nightmare on Elm Street because there's like scorched
• 1:29:08
  and burning footsteps throughout the apartment.
• 1:29:10
  Yeah, he's gone. So there he.
• 1:29:12
  Is and then this is where Chucky like sinks up behind him and he
• 1:29:15
  falls. This is that awesome scene where
• 1:29:18
  he's just like got the knife held over him and Andy's just
• 1:29:20
  backing up, like crawling on the ground back where it's so
• 1:29:24
  fucking awesome. But as all that's happening, one
• 1:29:28
  of them comes out there and shoots him.
• 1:29:30
  They sort of like dismembering him.
• 1:29:32
  Yeah, tearing. Yeah, She shoots off various
• 1:29:35
  body parts. She gets like a couple of I
• 1:29:37
  think both legs, one of the arms and the head.
• 1:29:40
  God damn she is like a fucking sharpshooter.
• 1:29:43
  So then the other detective arrives and he doesn't believe
• 1:29:47
  what's going on. And Norris is like, no,
• 1:29:49
  seriously, you can go see all the body parts out in the hall,
• 1:29:51
  just don't pick any of them up. And what does the detective do?
• 1:29:54
  He fucking picks. Up the head?
• 1:29:56
  Yep. And puts it on the thing.
• 1:29:57
  He's like, look at this thing, man.
• 1:29:58
  This thing is shit. He's like this.
• 1:29:59
  Is just plastic. And then as he's doing that,
• 1:30:03
  he's right in front of an air vent in the middle of the wall.
• 1:30:05
  That's weird. Don't know what that's about.
• 1:30:08
  It must be like, I don't know. I've lived in Kentucky and
• 1:30:12
  Tennessee my whole life. All of our air vents are on the
• 1:30:14
  floor. Well, this is Chicago.
• 1:30:15
  I know because I don't know if it's a Chicago thing or regional
• 1:30:18
  thing or what. But Chucky's arm bursts through
• 1:30:22
  there and grabs his throat, starts to stroke him and.
• 1:30:26
  And the head is saying. Kill him.
• 1:30:29
  Kill him. Oh.
• 1:30:31
  Yeah, and this is when Karen or Worm, I can't remember, he's
• 1:30:36
  like, shoot him in the heart. So they shoot the heart of the
• 1:30:39
  doll, and just like blood goes. Everywhere.
• 1:30:41
  And Chucky dies. Nora shoots him through the
• 1:30:44
  heart. Nora says OK, yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:48
  And then that's when Norris was like, now do you believe me?
• 1:30:51
  And this fact was like, yeah, but who's going to believe me?
• 1:30:54
  Yeah, it's like a curse, almost like.
• 1:30:56
  All right, you pass it on to me. Now who am I going to be able?
• 1:30:58
  To tell, yeah. So And that's where the movie
• 1:31:02
  ends. Yeah, that's the end of it.
• 1:31:05
  All right. I'm keeping it to.
• 1:31:06
  I'm keeping it A10 too. Yeah, it's a fucking awesome
• 1:31:08
  movie, man. I love this movie.
• 1:31:09
  It's a classic. It's.
• 1:31:10
  So good. So Talia was very restless and
• 1:31:16
  whiny during this movie. She tried to play at various
• 1:31:18
  points, went outside with 24 minutes left.
• 1:31:21
  Here's the thing. Talia is fucking afraid of these
• 1:31:23
  movies. She.
• 1:31:24
  Whacked my notes with her tail. Yeah, at 1:00.
• 1:31:26
  Point She Travis got me a Trekkie doll for Christmas two
• 1:31:30
  years ago. Was it last year?
• 1:31:32
  No, it was the year before. OK, 22, yeah.
• 1:31:36
  OK. That's what I mean with two
• 1:31:38
  years. Ago.
• 1:31:39
  Yeah, Yeah. No, I agree.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah, you were right. Yeah, but yeah.
• 1:31:42
  And Talia wouldn't come near it. Like, she literally, like she
• 1:31:47
  eyeballed it. And, you know, in that way that,
• 1:31:49
  like, dogs are suspicious. Like, she doesn't like it.
• 1:31:51
  She doesn't like it. Anytime we bring it out of the
• 1:31:54
  podcast room, she's very suspicious of it.
• 1:31:57
  She gets very tense when the movies are on.
• 1:31:59
  I don't. I maybe it's because she's got
• 1:32:01
  all of her toys, too. Maybe it scares.
• 1:32:03
  Her it could be. That, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:32:05
  So I think Talia gives it a 0 out of 10 for enjoyment, A10 out
• 1:32:08
  of 10 for how scary it is. So it's going to average out to
• 1:32:11
  five. You know, I bet it probably
• 1:32:12
  gives her like some uncanny valley type thing like this is
• 1:32:16
  like a child or a person. But there's something off about
• 1:32:20
  it. I don't know what it is.
• 1:32:21
  Yeah. She's like, it's just a little
• 1:32:22
  weird. She's like, I think it's a pod
• 1:32:24
  person guy, yeah. I don't think that's a real
• 1:32:26
  person you guys like probably good you keep them in a box all.
• 1:32:29
  The time Who is Zoe's ultimate warrior?
• 1:32:35
  I mean, you got to give it the Chucky.
• 1:32:37
  And on the flip end of that, well, Talia was like doing
• 1:32:41
  everything she could to protect the family from Chucky Zoe.
• 1:32:45
  I've got pictures of Zoe laying on his lap trying to get Pet by
• 1:32:49
  his hand. She was.
• 1:32:50
  Chucky, yes. So OK, we cannot.
• 1:32:54
  I think we're gonna have to not do Chucky for every single one
• 1:32:57
  of these for her though. No, you can't.
• 1:32:59
  But this one very much, yeah. If not Chucky, then Andy, like
• 1:33:04
  Andy was able to like navigate weird little situations.
• 1:33:10
  Had to go. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:33:12
  We'll give it to Chucky this one.
• 1:33:13
  Yeah, I'm just saying going forward, I think it will be a
• 1:33:15
  cop out if we do Chucky every single time.
• 1:33:17
  You're right. Yeah.
• 1:33:18
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:33:20
  Who did you relate to? I think I probably related to
• 1:33:28
  the woman on the elevator who's like, it's probably some kids
• 1:33:30
  doll. I'm like they'll come back for
• 1:33:32
  it. We'll leave it here.
• 1:33:34
  And like, it's kind of ugly though.
• 1:33:36
  I feel like that's like very my energy, like how I would react
• 1:33:40
  to that entire situation. That's fair, man.
• 1:33:45
  Who did I relate to? That's tough 'cause we don't, I
• 1:33:52
  don't feel like we get a lot of like secondary, like side
• 1:33:55
  characters in this movie, you know what I mean?
• 1:33:57
  It's hard. It's hard to identify with these
• 1:33:59
  people here man. I'm I'll relate to to Karen
• 1:34:08
  because I am also pretty terrible at like getting a gift
• 1:34:14
  boxes or wrapping presents. In fact, I got our nephews like
• 1:34:19
  a giant ass box for Fortnite V cards.
• 1:34:23
  The thing is that they wanted the V cards.
• 1:34:25
  They did. Yeah, they were immediately
• 1:34:27
  like, please tell us this is V cards and not like some stupid
• 1:34:30
  giant extravagant gift. That's yeah, I got it right, but
• 1:34:34
  I did the big box thing. Still so.
• 1:34:37
  Yeah, OK, no Dream sequel. No dream.
• 1:34:42
  Sequel. Are we gonna do a special one
• 1:34:44
  for this one like we did so? We don't have to, yeah.
• 1:34:50
  No, the song, the song one just kind of came naturally.
• 1:34:52
  Yes. So let's not force.
• 1:34:53
  It Yeah. OK, tagline.
• 1:34:57
  Man, what was the main tagline on the poster?
• 1:35:02
  Something's moved in with the Barkley family, and so is
• 1:35:05
  terror. Oh, that was the worst one,
• 1:35:07
  yeah. Oh, OK.
• 1:35:09
  What if instead of batteries included, it's battery included
• 1:35:13
  like? Oh, I like that.
• 1:35:15
  Yeah. Yeah, that's really good.
• 1:35:17
  Nice. I'm not going to lie, a little
• 1:35:22
  bit of that came because the ICE 9 kills homage to Child's Place
• 1:35:27
  called Assaults and Assault and Batteries.
• 1:35:29
  OK, yeah, that's fair. But I was also.
• 1:35:32
  Thinking of like batteries included, I was trying to think
• 1:35:34
  of a way to make that work. Yeah, I mean they already they
• 1:35:37
  even had like that. It's like the previous title.
• 1:35:39
  So I like it. That's really good.
• 1:35:43
  I'm gonna. Roll this week.
• 1:35:45
  You did good man. OK, now it is time for review.
• 1:35:49
  OK. And Internet review?
• 1:35:51
  Internet Review. So I picked this one on.
• 1:35:54
  Every week, guys, would you like that?
• 1:35:57
  Like and subscribe if you think Jesse should do that.
• 1:36:00
  The subscribers take everybody jumps shit from the show.
• 1:36:08
  OK, review. So this is somebody that watched
• 1:36:13
  it for the first time last year. October 2023.
• 1:36:16
  October 16th, 2023. All right, they say.
• 1:36:22
  I'm 40 and I've just watched this for the very first time.
• 1:36:26
  It's just awful and I can only believe that the reviews here
• 1:36:28
  must be paid. That script, terrible acting,
• 1:36:31
  awful casting, rubbish cinematography, terrible
• 1:36:34
  lighting, bad direction. I could go on.
• 1:36:37
  Even the puppetry is awful compared it to things that have
• 1:36:40
  come before it and it's really bad.
• 1:36:43
  Badly done. There's literally no suspense at
• 1:36:45
  all. The fact that doll is possessed
• 1:36:47
  is given away straight away and even that was done badly.
• 1:36:51
  Usually when I don't like a film I can at least find a redeemable
• 1:36:54
  quality. Not for this one.
• 1:36:56
  Even the music is a mess. The idea for the film is great,
• 1:37:00
  but God knows they were made sure God knows how they ever
• 1:37:05
  made it. A franchise.
• 1:37:06
  Worst horror in parentheses or quotations I've ever seen,
• 1:37:11
  without a doubt. I will conceive that the
• 1:37:16
  lighting at times could be a little better.
• 1:37:18
  I will concede that they don't really provide a lot of mystery.
• 1:37:21
  They do give it to you right away.
• 1:37:22
  I do think that the idea of it being a whodunit with Andy would
• 1:37:25
  have been interesting to it, I think.
• 1:37:26
  Mystery would be fun, but I do think that even without that,
• 1:37:30
  they're still able to create suspense, which I think is
• 1:37:32
  honestly, in some ways it's easy to have suspense when you have a
• 1:37:35
  mystery. Yeah, it's harder to have
• 1:37:37
  suspense when you don't, and I think they do a good job with
• 1:37:41
  that. Yeah, man, it's not the most
• 1:37:45
  suspenseful movie though, but they do have good moments of it.
• 1:37:48
  Yeah, it's not like lacking of it, but yeah, it's not like I
• 1:37:52
  don't really have like a feeling of dread or anything like that
• 1:37:55
  when I watch this movie. It's not scary.
• 1:37:58
  Like to me, it's just a very entertaining slasher movie.
• 1:38:01
  OK. I love the characters.
• 1:38:02
  I love the story, like everything is.
• 1:38:04
  I thought they killed it with the acting like everything.
• 1:38:07
  Like, yeah, I just, I can't agree with the acting because I
• 1:38:12
  think the cast is stellar. Directing, cinematography,
• 1:38:16
  writing like it's all great. And the puppeteering.
• 1:38:18
  The puppeteering is top. Tier.
• 1:38:20
  What are they? Comparing it to I'd like to
• 1:38:22
  honestly like, I would really like to know what they're
• 1:38:24
  comparing it to to see what their expectations were for this
• 1:38:27
  because I think that this was really amazing.
• 1:38:30
  It's like. They.
• 1:38:31
  Yes, they put. So much effort into what they
• 1:38:34
  were doing because they also had to, like, make his mouth, Matt.
• 1:38:36
  They may be thinking of like Spielberg type shit like when
• 1:38:41
  did. He doesn't.
• 1:38:42
  Come out Spielberg budget 90s. 90s OK, well, even before then
• 1:38:46
  I'm sure he like Jaws, you know what I mean?
• 1:38:48
  Like they that's like a real, like it looks like a real shark.
• 1:38:52
  Well, like, I mean, this looks like a real fucking doll.
• 1:38:54
  The shark doesn't have as much complex movement as this doll.
• 1:38:58
  Like don't get me wrong, Jaws is a classic for a fucking reason.
• 1:39:01
  They they made it very clear with that movie that it was a
• 1:39:05
  pain in the ass to get that shark to move properly at all.
• 1:39:08
  Well, yeah, that's why the woman that gets killed in the opening
• 1:39:11
  scene gets fucked. Yeah, I know.
• 1:39:13
  The robot went rogue. Exactly like, but you know, like
• 1:39:16
  they overcame it. Robot, not rogue.
• 1:39:19
  Back to rogue. No, I mean like it's fucking top
• 1:39:23
  tier. Like they even do lip syncing
• 1:39:25
  which like that is nice. That's great.
• 1:39:28
  And most of it, most of them hadn't even met Brad Dorf
• 1:39:31
  because he did all of his lines. In the studio they were like
• 1:39:34
  they had his lines recorded in advance.
• 1:39:36
  That way they could lip sync it for the scene, which is smart.
• 1:39:38
  That's how you should do it. It's really well done.
• 1:39:40
  So now I I get it, maybe not for you, but like you know, there
• 1:39:44
  you got some points, but at the same time, I don't necessarily
• 1:39:46
  agree with everything you said there, bud.
• 1:39:48
  And this is also a franchise that I feel like shifts tonally
• 1:39:52
  throughout, so I think maybe if the first one isn't for you,
• 1:39:55
  maybe a later one could be. Later ones maybe, but I think
• 1:39:58
  this person's wanting like legit scary, like actual horror and
• 1:40:02
  this is like the first three are like the hardest with the
• 1:40:06
  horror. Yeah.
• 1:40:07
  So. Oh no, I think Curse of Chucky
• 1:40:10
  is pretty intense. I I don't think it's at the same
• 1:40:16
  caliber as one and two. I don't know.
• 1:40:18
  We'll get there. Yeah, we'll get there.
• 1:40:19
  We'll get there. That that'll be a Thanksgiving
• 1:40:21
  special for y'all. Yeah, OK.
• 1:40:24
  Listen to reviews. OK.
• 1:40:25
  All right, we'll start off over on Twitter.
• 1:40:27
  Yeah, we have. I saw a lot of those come
• 1:40:29
  through. So since he was since he got his
• 1:40:34
  doctorate, he has now been sired.
• 1:40:37
  He has Sir Aquile boobs. Oh OK.
• 1:40:40
  Knighted you mean? Knighted.
• 1:40:42
  Yes. He he's a sire though, right?
• 1:40:45
  Is that the thing that's what they call them?
• 1:40:47
  Like when you get 90, that's like a certain right?
• 1:40:49
  Yes, Sire is something different.
• 1:40:52
  OK, I don't fucking know all. Right, like, like they'll say
• 1:40:56
  like this horse sire, this racehorse, like this you, you
• 1:40:59
  made, you procreated. Sorry boobs, I did not mean to
• 1:41:07
  imply that like. He's been sired and.
• 1:41:11
  I'm like. So.
• 1:41:15
  It's OK all right so his starts off by saying give me the power
• 1:41:23
  I beg of you. yo-yo are giving me a reason to revisit all of
• 1:41:27
  these. Haven't watched in ages.
• 1:41:29
  I remember watching them all out of order back in the day but
• 1:41:32
  rewatching this one holy fuck. Talk about intense for 80s that
• 1:41:35
  fucking no batteries reveal and then when he comes to life for
• 1:41:39
  the first time on screen, God damn shit is terrifying.
• 1:41:44
  Love this franchise and Duriff is a fucking treasure as the
• 1:41:47
  voice slash character of Chucky. Fucking iconic man 2 thumbs up.
• 1:41:50
  I absolutely agree other than needing a reason to rewatch the
• 1:41:54
  franchise other than like oh darn now I have a reason to
• 1:41:58
  watch. It Hey, man, I didn't watch it
• 1:42:00
  fully until last year. You know what I mean?
• 1:42:02
  Yeah, like, I get it. But yeah, man, I would 100%
• 1:42:05
  agree with everything that you said there.
• 1:42:07
  This thing is a fucking classic for all the reasons you said.
• 1:42:11
  Moving on, Joe Fricatron. As is his name.
• 1:42:14
  Brad Duriff is awesome. Such a great film.
• 1:42:16
  Second or third best toy store scene in horror?
• 1:42:20
  What are your other top toy store scenes?
• 1:42:24
  I am curious to know Joe. I hope some of them are Black
• 1:42:27
  Friday. That's a Toy Story.
• 1:42:29
  That's an all in the Toy Story. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:32
  It doesn't top this in my opinion.
• 1:42:35
  Maybe Joe's? Yeah, Joe, we'll.
• 1:42:38
  Talk. Yeah, Tell us.
• 1:42:40
  Tell us, buddy. Next up, word, Zombie staple of
• 1:42:44
  horror history. Really like the first Child's
• 1:42:46
  Play for the heavier horror theme.
• 1:42:48
  But I find the series gets better as it goes on.
• 1:42:51
  The next few months are going to be great.
• 1:42:53
  Fuck yeah I agree man. Like this one's a fucking like
• 1:42:56
  classic, but I love the tone progression of this series as it
• 1:43:00
  goes. Like it becomes its own thing.
• 1:43:03
  Like it finds its own footing. And you guys, I'm just going to
• 1:43:06
  go ahead and start plugging this now.
• 1:43:07
  I know it's only June, but in October we're going to be on TV
• 1:43:10
  Trivia Pod again. This time we're actually doing a
• 1:43:13
  horror movie and it is child's play and we nerd out so hard,
• 1:43:18
  not just about this one, but about the whole franchise.
• 1:43:21
  So if you need a little extra dose, you have that coming.
• 1:43:24
  Yeah, we'll to look forward to. We'll play it whenever it
• 1:43:27
  releases too. But yeah, I just remember
• 1:43:30
  talking about that, and one of the things he does is like, your
• 1:43:33
  favorite moments. And we were like, stressed.
• 1:43:36
  Yeah, because there's just so much good stuff in this whole
• 1:43:39
  franchise. And I am very excited about
• 1:43:41
  where we're going to go from here.
• 1:43:45
  Over on Instagram Cube, save says Chucky rolls first one is
• 1:43:48
  classic. Yes, it is a fucking classic.
• 1:43:51
  And yeah, Chucky, like other than Michael, probably my
• 1:43:54
  favorite slasher, he's just got he's just so fucking likable.
• 1:43:58
  He's so. Cares man, like he's so cares
• 1:44:00
  and it also like he's just it's that like honor among thieves
• 1:44:05
  kind of thing where like even bad guys have their own like
• 1:44:08
  code that they stick to their own like moral system.
• 1:44:11
  Like, you know, he's like I was talking about before, where
• 1:44:15
  later on we're going to have him be like.
• 1:44:16
  This guy's a creep. Or like in the series where he
• 1:44:20
  goes, I'm not a monster, Jake. Like he's not like, homophobic.
• 1:44:25
  Like he just. Likes to kill.
• 1:44:27
  People, I'm a killer. I'm not a monster.
• 1:44:29
  Yet. Like you sure bud, you're still
• 1:44:31
  a monster. Yeah, like, but I, I like that
• 1:44:34
  we get we're going to get these layers to him and God, one of my
• 1:44:37
  favorite moments in the whole franchise is happening in the
• 1:44:40
  second one, and I'm very excited.
• 1:44:43
  The second one's amazing. OK final review, our buddy
• 1:44:47
  Michael E Howard who says Child's Play is a great starter.
• 1:44:51
  Another fun and unique franchise.
• 1:44:54
  A doll as a killer. Yes, the original was terrifying
• 1:44:58
  for its time in a true classic. Bring on the fun and I will be
• 1:45:01
  your friend till the end. 9 out of 10.
• 1:45:04
  And then he says, total side note, this is my third favorite
• 1:45:06
  franchise. Falling Saw and Elm St.
• 1:45:09
  Kind of wait to see how you all view these.

  This is becoming one of our favorite franchises also.
• 1:45:19

• 1:45:25
  echoed everything that we've said the entire episode, too.
