Wow do you think 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.319 I feel like even Selena Gomez might be a little 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.120 like how older you're right? Three? Are they going to 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.319 know who's amez? Is? They know mo Wanna? That's about it. 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.920 That's Jojo seems to be like the new budding pop 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.320 star of the like past, whatever is after Zoomers, that's us. Yeah, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:33.600 I forgot that name. Yeah, they switched it too and so, 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.199 but now there's Zumors because humors are are like fighting 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.560 with boomers, right, we needed that rhyme, so zoomer. I 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.840 thought you were going to say they switched it to 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.080 Zoomers because of Jabuki and he. Anytime I think of 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.320 Generation Z, I think of him. He's like the generation 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.560 right below us. Yeah, he represents he's their spokesperson. He's 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.200 going to be where we are on the millennial spectrum 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.800 in a few years because we're old millennials, like you know, no, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.840 we're younger millennial because millennials go you and I or 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.520 we're mid millennials. I'm old millennial. I'm like, I'm like 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.960 at that time, I'm like like kind of on the 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.040 cost of Gen X and ben millennial. I won't say 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.079 we're on the cusps to never ever deals too much 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.720 but the cost somewhere on the cousp oh Man.

Uh, you know about 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.000 Oh my gosh. Well it kind of hinted at it 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.400 a week before, but now you can officially watch it. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.080 It's the Casta Grandes. It is on Nickelodeon. Um, please 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.800 go check it out. I just want as many eyeballs 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.480 on this show because it really helps us continue to 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.800 tell them that, you know, we are an audience. We 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.480 are watching a lot of Latin X stories. Also says Monos, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.600 which I talked about. I can't remember if I talked 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.639 about on this podcast, but I definitely tweeted about it. Uh. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:56.000 It is an original anime by Viz and it is Mexican, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:01.440 so it follows three orphans in nineteen seventies Mexico. Danny 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.600 Trejo is in it, our friend Johnny Cruise is in it. Also, 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.280 my culture is in it. It's really cool. It's super brutal. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.360 If you're looking for a new horror anime, it definitely 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.080 has a lot of horror supernatural elements to it, so 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.880 check it out. Both of those things rapper stories. I 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.679 think today even though this is a week in advance, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.799 but today was the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.360 so how to rep how to rep? Yeah, And for me, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.919 it's a new game by five or five Games called Indivisible, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.120 which is a it's like a cool new take. It's 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:37.119 like a part platform or part RPG. It's very fun 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.880 to play. Appellated on stream earlier this week. But yeah, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.160 the it uses like gorgeous two D graphics mixed with like, 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:50.080 um like three D graphics, and the like lead character 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.320 it seems like she's some type of South Asian. She 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.080 definitely sounds like she has an Indian accent. The names 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.400 sound very like Indian. So that's real cool, very diverse 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.560 right off the start, uh, and all these cool characters, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.000 you know. And I'm only at the tip of the 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.400 iceberg of the game. But it's super fun Indivisible. It's 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:13.440 out now fairly cheap too, so check that out. Um. Okay, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.840 guess for me kind of like easing into like the 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.320 Halloween spirit. I just finished a novel I really loved 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.360 called My Best Friends Exorcism Um. It was written by 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.520 Grady Hendricks, who, like I think, a couple of years prior, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.880 had a big hit with a book called Um Horror Store. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.279 It was like a horror story. It's like a haunted 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.320 house and an ikea that was very fun. But this 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.920 is a it's the story of like, uh, two high 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.400 school girls in like late eighties North Carolina who are 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.960 like really tight and then one of them gets possessed 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.520 by the devil and um, it's it's it sounds very 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.040 like kind of like hokey and b great horror going 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.400 into it, but it's like it ends in this very 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.320 like it becomes and and ends as this very like 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.599 surprisingly moving and trip you to like the strength of 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.440 female friendship and how that is kind of what you know, 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.160 that's the thing that kind of is able to well, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.320 I don't want to spoil it, but like it's kind 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.279 of lesser. It's an extortent story that's really about relying 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.479 less on like the power of religion in Christ and 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.960 more on like the personal bond these two girls have. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.560 It's like surprisingly moving and like I and all at 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.159 the same time being like a very like gross like 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.200 a fun gross out horror story. So recommend that if 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.359 you want to get some like fun light Halloween reading. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.359 And I highly recommend my best friend's Exorcism and so 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.040 cool in the Horror Store sounds really funny. Yeah, it's 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.480 really clever author. It's a he's a I like him 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.440 a lot. Um and I think I think Horror Store 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.560 got like bought it to be. It's was supposed to 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.839 be a movie. But that's so funny. I think it's Yeah, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.560 that's that's a movie. I want to see horror movie. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.200 And an Ike Yeah yeah yeah, Um, well we are 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.440 talking about something a other horror related yeah, and also 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:04.320 semi retail related. Yeah, very retail. Yeah, it's like Mattel yeah. Uh. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.840 And that is Child's Play, Jonah. I just wanted to know, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.240 like you are. We were asking people like what is 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.240 their horror thing, you know, out of our friends, and 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.839 you immediately said Child's Play? What like gravitated you towards it? Well, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.599 I say my, like, uh like my my, the story 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.839 of my love affair with the Child's Play franchise or 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.000 I guess the Chucky franchise, because they kind of like 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.040 split into two different things. Um, it's kind of like 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.839 in two parts, like one is just like it was 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.880 something I watched a lot as a kid. You know, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.600 it was a horror franchise. It was just like on 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.039 all the time when I was a kid, and I 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.200 just really enjoyed them um as like good fun, like 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.120 scary experiences. I think Chucky is maybe like the best 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.599 of like the eighties Slashers. I think he like holds 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.960 up the best um out of like that whole crew 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.040 of like Freddie and Jason and Pinhead Um. I would 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.360 I would say, I say, I'd say that, Yes, I'm 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.200 gonna I'm gonna make that bold of acclaim Chucky chucking 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.040 my face, Chucky guy stand Chucky, Like I feel like 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.240 we need to have people repping each We'll have to 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.560 do that for a episode. So funny because since I've 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.560 been doing like the thirsty horror tweets, I've been researching 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.000 a lot of horror film films, and like the joke 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.720 I did today is kind of a deep cut that 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.840 I think no one's gonna get. But the joke of 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.800 it is the kind of like bad writing of this. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.520 And it's Um from hell Raiser and it's the female 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:29.000 sena Byte whose name is female and just the female 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.800 that's the name, and so like the joke of it 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.280 is like she's like, you don't even know my name, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:34.720 And it was like I thought your name was female 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.680 Seno Bite and there's and I was in the wiki 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.840 and they're like for the female Sena Byte in um 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:46.680 hell Raiser something like oh the revel of Revelation or something, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.680 click this and I clicked this, and it's another female 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.400 Sena Bte whose name is just female and so so 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.560 there's two characters and that's like that's the name. Meanwhile, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.240 you have like the chatter like a chatter butter ball. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.240 Everyone has a name except for this female Cena. It's 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.320 very weird c D the center bite with CDs in 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.720 his head. Yeah yeah, um yeah. They all have very 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.960 distinct like cool personalities and the female just the female. Um. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:19.440 But um. But then I'd say, like I recently gravitated 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:24.080 back towards like The Child's Play a franchise because um, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.520 and this is something I didn't know growing up, but like, uh, 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.720 the Child's Play was the original The first script was 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.480 written by a mandate on Don Mancini, who like who 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.480 since pretty much like the first movie came out in 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.280 the eighties, he's been like an out like gay man um. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.520 And I'd say, as the franchise has progressed, like he's 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.280 he's been like like injecting more and more like queer 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.920 characters and queer themes into the films um some like 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.160 you know, and sometimes I will admit in like kind 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.160 of like messy, not the most like you know, the 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.280 messy kind of the best way he could at the time. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.760 But I still think it's fascinating to like kind of 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.800 creators stay with a franchise that long because he's been 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.200 with all of them except this most recently Boot, and 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.800 like allowing himself to kind of like inject more and 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.400 more of like you know, his queer identity and just 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.280 like overall the things things that matter to him, like 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.440 into the franchise where and like you know, the like 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.319 the franchise has even become like pret like trans inclusive 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.040 or at least attempting to like like through the guys 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.160 of like you know this like or through the filter 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.679 of this like Killer Doll like talk about things like 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.800 gender fluidity and um, you know, being true to ourselves. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.520 Are are like ourselves and like what bodies do we 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.720 belong in? Um? Like I said, it can be messy 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.840 and and you know not that maybe the best discussion 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.679 of it in cinema, but I still love that it's there, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.000 and I still love that. It's it's something that's like 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.360 I feel like it's almost like as I have kind 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.640 of come into my own core identity. It's a franchise 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.960 that I love has also done that. That's something I 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.839 had to are. Do you see that Child's Play is 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.320 your favorite out of all of them the nineteen eight film, Yes, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.000 I would say definitely. I think there might be like 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.000 there's like a few front like you know, there are 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.079 a few Nightmaring on Elm Streets. I really love, like 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:12.199 Nightmaring Realm Street three I think is really fantastic. UM. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.640 But and like I have a weird like soft spot 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.920 for the Hell Raising Movies two just because they're so bizarre. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.760 But like, I think Child's Play UM is just in 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.320 all respects kind of like just holds up best as 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.120 a franchise. I think it's like just from a story's 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.240 telling telling standpoint, it's like evolved and kind of like 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.800 change and that's always kept it interesting. Um. Chucky has 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.680 remained I think, like a fun interesting character. Like I think, 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.319 you know, he kind of went through the same evolution 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.319 that like Freddie did, going from like just villain to 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.959 kind of like the comedic centerpiece of these films. But 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.000 like I feel like Chucky like survive that uh that 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.000 evolution a little better and that he can like you 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.280 know he I think he straddles the line better between 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.120 being like scared, between being scary and funny, where it's 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.440 like Freddie just kind of became a like you know, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.240 like a late I talked to your home like happens 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.880 to kill his guests. Um so yeah, so and and 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.960 you know, I still go back and I like watching 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.480 that first Child to play like I was. I tried 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.439 to rewatch many of them, and I could go building 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.080 up to this because you know it's Halloween, and I 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.840 was like, this is gonna be my Halloween rewatch for 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.920 the year, and like the first one is like legit 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.280 still like legit scary, like it's it. I you know, 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.600 I feel like part of it is just because like Chucky, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.320 like Chuck, he's like a like just like jump scare 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.160 in like personified, like because like pops out of places. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.000 And even when he's on screen, he's not doing anything 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.280 like you're just like I know you're gonna do something, 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.840 you know, You're like I know, yeah, so so uh yeah, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.719 I'd say it's still it's my favorite of of all 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.960 of them. Yeah, So just hopping into Child's Play. It 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:52.160 was released November nine and it was directed by Tom Holland, 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.200 and I was so funny. I thought I shared my 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.800 name with someone, but that to me is hilarious. For 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.680 those keeping count, that is nine months this world you 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.480 don't even care about me. Also being in that year, 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.120 I I did the Math for my birthday and I 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.199 was going to do yours next. Along with the film 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.000 gaining a cult following immediately, that's pretty cool. Um, the 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.280 box office success, bond of media franchise that include a 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:21.040 series of six sequels, merchandise, comic books. Uh, and then 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.679 of course the remake in twenty nineteen. So for people 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.560 that haven't seen it, can you just go over? Kind 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.000 of like the the big points of the film, the 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.360 Child's Play one, Um, there is we open on it's 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.800 a dark and stormy night over the Chicago river front, um, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.959 like you know, and there's a big abandoned ware high 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.000 house where well we open on a shootout. Um. Charles 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:49.480 Charles Lee Ray, the Lake Shore Strangler, UH, is running 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.960 from the cops, he gets shot, he goes in this 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.640 where oh this toy star because you know, I'm pretty 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.880 sure that the Chicago riverfront is full of toy stars. Um. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.240 Uh puts his soul into the body of a good 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.440 guy doll, which is pretty much a pair like, Oh yeah, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.400 it's a parody of Uh. I don't know if you 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.000 remember my Buddy dolls, but yeah, it's a pretty direct 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.839 parody of like the my Buddy doll, which was like 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.200 a big thing in the eighties. Um, you had my 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:14.960 buddies and then if you were a girl, you got 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.440 like a kid sister. But anyways, Um, he puts his 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.440 body into the soul of this doll through the vood. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.240 Through voodoo, the doll gets gifted this small boy, uh, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.600 this little boy Andy for his eighth birthday. Um. And 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.880 Chucky starts killing people. Uh. In the in the body 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.199 of the dollar he Charles Lee Ray uh said tells 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.000 Andy that his name is Chucky. Um. He starts killing people. Uh. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.400 Andy cannot convince anyone that his dolls alive except his mom. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.920 His mom like starts to believe him, um, but the 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.120 cop on the case played by Chris Randon doesn't until 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.040 Chuckie tries to kill him too. Basically, it's like a 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.240 raise against time because the at least at this point 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.959 in the franchise, is the way the way voodoo rule 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.600 his work is that uh if so you pass your 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.080 body into something and then the first person you like 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.280 tell like, hey, like I am actually this guy like 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.880 I with the first person that he would say like, hey, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.440 my name is Charles Lee Ray too. That's the only 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:22.000 human body he could transfer his soul into for some reason. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.080 Um so so uh yeah so he so now and 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.560 he's the only person that he can transfer a soul into. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.720 Um and uh yeah. It ends with this like very 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.000 fun like he kills a bunch of people and with 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.920 very fun like scary um where like kind of like 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.960 one of those like you keep thinking he's dead, but 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:44.280 he keeps coming back in like continuously more like burnt 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.120 degraded forms um until his mom like shoots it in 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.720 the face. And that's like most of Child's play. That's 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:54.000 child play? Is that a good rundown? Yes? Yeah, perfect one? 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.840 And then the sequel is where it takes place in 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.760 that r OTC camp. Right, No, that's the that's child 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.480 play three so many which which one is the child's 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:08.040 play too? Child's play too is uh, it's kind of 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.840 as you know, and he's now in a foster home. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.560 His mom is is in a never see a mental 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.360 in terminators. Yes, although we never we never we never 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.640 never seen. Oh, the mom is just gone. She's just 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.600 because people don't believe her. Yes, she she stood by 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.920 her son like and said like, yes, this doll was 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.160 trying to kill people. And everyone was like alright, and 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.720 then like the sun is safe but you yeah, yeah. So, um, 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.960 he's taken to a foster home. It's kind of a 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.360 little bit the same movie over again. He gets a 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.840 he gets new foster parents at Chucky kills Uh. He 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.200 goes to school. But my favorite thing about this movie 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.440 is that, like in this one, Andy's like attitude has 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.040 just changed, Like he's very like defeated. He's just like Chuck, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.120 He's gonna get me. Like he's not very defiant. Um, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.360 he's like like no child like like but Chucky kills 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.520 his his teacher before. Like another good seeing that movie 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.440 is Chucky is like Andy's in school and then Chucky 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.280 like takes his test and writes on it like and 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.680 it turns into the teacher and the teachers like why 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.480 you're you're in detention. It's like I don't even see 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.640 how that served like chucky. He was like, I'm just 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.280 sing this it was such a big deal when I 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.280 was a little like yeah, and I would I could 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.760 only see like the edited versions on TV, so like 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.960 they never showed what he wrote. So he just like 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.360 the teacher, was like freaking out about something crazy. Chuck. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.160 He wrote on that test, I know, I love the 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.800 people who have only seen the edited version of The 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.440 Big Lebowski and thinks the line is find a stranger 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:50.040 in the Alps. But the reason I brought up Child's 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.400 Play three is because the one thing, because we're talking 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.160 about how like it is so scary and reevented, is 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.240 that r OTC scene where he switches it with live. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.080 Amm O, such a fear of my words, like oh no, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.040 yeah we're using fake guns, but like what if they 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.919 they did switch it to live and yes, yes that 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.640 is a good scene. Yeah, just to wrap a child play. Oh, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.320 he gets a he gets a cool like foster sister 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:20.320 this girl um uh Kyle um, She's like he's protecting 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.560 this one. It ends in a big like, it ends 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.760 in a big finale in the in the good Guy factory. Um. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.159 And there's some cool there's that's probably that's probably my 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.480 favorite finale of the of my favorite finale of the series. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.040 It ends in this big, like almost like Looney Tunes 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.639 ish sized factory and like Chucky gets like covered in 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.320 like molten plastic and like a ton of body parts, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.439 like extra body parts attached to him before he's like 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.760 blown up with an air hose. Uh. Yeah, it's fun. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.720 This wasn't the fan death yet. No, No, this fan 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:58.760 death is uh fan death is three. Well, fan death 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.240 is such a big deal because that's why the next 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.520 one he's all stitched up. Yes, and that was when 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.440 he went from like kind of scary to like terrifying 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.639 to me. Yes, oh you got more scared from stitch 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:16.200 face Chuck, which is an official Is that the community 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.800 called stitch face Chucky? Yes, because that's also the one 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.840 where they get like it gets like more like cantic. Yeah. Yeah, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.360 but I guess that's Bright of Chucky's Bright Chuck. Yeah, 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.000 and we're going to hop into Bright of Chucky right 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.440 after these messages.

Oh yeah, Child's Play 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.720 three and that Uh, there's a there's a fair next 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.080 to the military school. It ends with oh, Chucky's in 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.680 a new body in this one, so he's he there's 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.800 a new kid that he can put his his soul into. 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.439 So Andy has to say that kid, this kid Tyler 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.919 from getting his body body taken over by Chucky. It 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.120 ends with him getting yes, as you said, he gets 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.439 I can't like, I can't remember what the fan was 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.119 attached to. I can picture very closely. I can picture 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.479 that scene of him like falling into a fan. Uh, 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.720 you know, it's one of those Carnival fans that they have. 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.919 You know, it's Rove and Border running the carnival and 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:50.760 Chuck he's all chopped up and we won't see him 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:55.080 again until Yeah, I know that's yeah, that's seven years later. 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.520 But the interesting thing about that is that like there 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.280 is like, even though think it was like Child's Play 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.160 two comes out in ninety and Child's Play one comes 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.840 out in three comes out of ninety one, they leaped 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.760 forward like eight years, so technically that movie is taking 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.080 place in ninety eight. So like the it's like it's 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:15.760 a Tokyo drift style thing where the franchise does catch 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.280 up with its time.

And this one, yeah, this one was like 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.640 way more comedic. This was This is when we got 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.600 full like goofy Chucky. But it's still had like some 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.360 dark moments throughout it. Yes, yeah with the one where 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.720 we found out that Chucky is in fact atomically correct 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:25.560 because there is a full doll doll sex scene. Yes, 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:30.320 they totally forgot about that, yes, yes um um yeah, 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.840 and it's about how the other the other new thing 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.000 we didn't we've never heard of is that they're like 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.560 Chucky's human body was buried with an amulet that I 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.560 guess like now that amulet, if they get that amulet, 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.600 they can possess anyone they want. Uh, so they're gonna 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.639 so they they they kidnapped this couple um uh Katherine 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.439 Heigel and young Kavin Higel and her boyfriend who I 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.639 don't know who it was played by. Um, I guess 0:23:54.720 --> 0:24:00.959 you know it was played by Nick Stable our faith Yeah, 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:06.439 known from such things as uh Santa Junr Descendant, but 0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.880 not just Descendant, not The Descendants, not the outstander pain 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:14.040 film or the hit Disney Channel musicals. Oh my gosh. 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:16.600 I did want to say that there was a chain 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.720 back in the nineties called the Good Guys, and they 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:23.439 actually thought about changing their name because because of Chucky. 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:28.560 That's really funny, I would sailing into it. Yeah, totally. Yeah, 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.000 but I think they were getting a lot of like 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.159 prank calls and people like harassing them. My brothers and 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:35.760 I used to do that. We thought we were funny. 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.280 We would call like the in Sync fan club or 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:46.160 whatever those guys had, those people, Yeah, frank fans did 0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:48.359 you call it? Like? I was Backstreet Boys, But then 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:51.760 they switched to in sc like eventually, but because Backstreet 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:54.480 Boys kind of just like weren't shelling out as much. 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.879 I think, like put that sounds bad, but whatever, Remember 0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:02.439 Instinct got some like Showtime or HBO like special that 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.560 they did, and I remember watching that. I was just 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.639 I was all Spice girls at that time, girls too. Yeah, 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.520 but then they kind of broke up. They did break up, Yeah, 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.960 but I still still yeah yeah yeah. Um, I mean 0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:18.399 I like I like the occasional like everybody or or 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:20.639 um that's the only time I was gonna think of, 0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:23.080 but no Spice Spice Girl. At that time, Spice Girls 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:27.480 was was my dominated, my dominated, my hit clicks. Um, 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:30.520 that's whether things are called right, hit clicks. Yes, you 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.480 get them at like McDonald's. They're like a little disk, 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.600 like a little fake floppy disk that you could listen 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.760 to music off of anyways, Child Clay Child's play. Yeah, 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:42.840 I remember they are we talking the mini disc or 0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:45.040 the clip disc the clip disk? Yeah, because I remember 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:49.600 when you bought the um Spice Girls like lollipops, they 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:53.960 came with a clip discs clip discs. Yeah, yeah, I 0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:58.040 gotta enunciate, yes, yeah, yeah. It ends with Yeah, it 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.240 ends with Chucky and Tiffany being defeated in a graveyard, 0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.760 but not before Tiffany gives birth to a little like 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:10.600 mutant dolly thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, that means, yeah, trying 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:12.680 to do the science of this, well, I do think, 0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:14.720 Like in two, I think is when we find out 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:18.919 that like Chucky like slowly becomes the longer he's in 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.399 a body, this he slowly becomes human, And I guess 0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:24.760 I don't know what the rules are. I don't know why, 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.040 like when he's an original human he can transfer his 0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:30.840 soul into anything. But like once he turns in full 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.160 it Chucky, once he's he's Chucky is full human. He 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.680 can't transfer to say, I don't know that you know 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.000 my vodous because they already used all that magic to 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.280 tournament the human. They can't do it. Yeah, there's only 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.800 every every everybody only comes with so much voodoo magic 0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:49.359 you don't get to it doesn't get replenished. Um. But yeah, 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.720 that's how Brian Chucky is. Well. Uh. I was going 0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.000 to say that Don Mancini, who wrote it, wrote all 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.560 of these like you were saying, he originally wanted to 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:04.679 have multiple Chucky's yes and um and so pitch that 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:08.399 I think for Child's Play three and they ended up 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:13.440 using that twenty plus years later for a Cult of Chuck. Yes. Um, 0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:16.119 but that's just you know, hold onto those ideas. Yeah. 0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:18.640 Oh yeah, I definitely want to talk about because there 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.920 there was some drama with the reboot, but we'll get 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.480 into that when we get to the reboot. Yeah, because 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.960 now we're on the seed of Chucky, which is I 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.880 love I love ce. Chucky is a massive a movie, 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:35.240 but I love it. Um. It's about um, it's we 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:40.760 we catch up with Chucky and Tiffany's offspring. Um, and 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.280 there Glenn is like kind of in Glenn slash Glenda. 0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:47.880 They're kind of in a Pinocchio situation where an evil 0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:53.280 puppeteer is is has captured them and it's putting pretty 0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:55.960 on show like this' very like Chris angelized Cventrol question 0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:00.000 is doing shows with them in uh London, but they 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:03.439 see their parents. They're making like Hollywood is making like 0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:07.119 a Bride of Chucky movie with its starring the actual 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:11.199 Jennifer Tilly. Uh. Glenn slash Glenda sees this on the 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.680 TV and it's like, oh, those are my parents. I 0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.520 have to go find them. Um and uh he takes 0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.800 off or they take they take off for um they 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.359 take off for America and we don't know how they 0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.680 get on a plane. They just do it. Um and 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.080 yeah there they in baby for him this whole time. No, 0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.879 they are like, uh pretty, They're like like like maybe 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.520 like if in doll ages, I would assume they are 0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:38.280 like what they look like. General Levin, As far as 0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:41.080 these go, how would you like? Is this one that 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:42.920 people love? I mean, I feel like you know the 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.840 community better than us. I do think like this one 0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:48.840 is one of the this is one of the few 0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.040 that like I think only two of them kind of 0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.400 bombed and child Child's Play three and this one kind 0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:56.320 of bomb and I just don't I think, you know, 0:28:56.480 --> 0:29:00.360 it deals with some pretty like you know what at 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:03.000 the time was some like you know, unusual stuff for 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:06.000 I mean, for now now it's like pretty unusual, like 0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:08.000 you know, to see like a movie of that scale 0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:10.400 kind of dealing with you know, like the kind of 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:15.120 the conceit of the film is that, uh, Glenn slash 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:19.320 Glenda is born without like is born not untomicly correct. 0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:21.840 They are born with like you know, what would be 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.520 described as like Barbie r Ken type parts. So so 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:28.040 Chucky and Tiffany gettingto a basically get into a fight 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.640 over like is are they are they a boy or girl? 0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:33.680 And they both like fight. They're both kind of like 0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.600 competing to raise them the way they say they they 0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.680 think the child should be raised. Um. And so when 0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.360 it's so at times they are Glen and at times 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:46.200 they are Glenda. Um. And uh. Also it should be 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.760 like important important fact like Jennifer Tilly is playing Jennifer 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:53.400 Tilly in this movie, who's she's trying to get in 0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:57.719 a movie. She's trying to get into the the Rapper. 0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:03.760 Redman is directing a like the story of the Virgin Mary. 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.200 Jennifer Tilly really wants to be in this movie, so 0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.080 that's a big part of the storyline. Fun fact about 0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:11.640 that is that Don Mancini wrote that part for Quentin Tarantino. 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.880 It was gonna be which you know, uh no shade 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.960 on Redman's directing skills, but that makes a like makes 0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:21.200 a little more sense. Um and but Tarantino refused to 0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:23.680 do it, which I think it's like you did little, 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.240 you did a little Nikki, you can't do it checking 0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:32.760 come on, yeah yeah, so um so, uh so yeah 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:36.200 so uh so back to what but we're saying, Yeah, 0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.920 the movie was not a success. I think it was, 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.680 but I think the community is really warm to it, specifically, 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:45.920 especially like I think parts of the kind of there 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.440 is a like a big subculture of like are a 0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:52.200 big like subject culture of like you know, queer horror fans. 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:54.440 So I think have like really embraced this. Uh do 0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:57.400 you know there's a drag queen in San Francisco, or 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:00.480 primarily in San Francisco called Peaches Christ and she does 0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:04.080 this like movie series called uh that they tend to 0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:05.800 be like there's a drag show and then a movie 0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:08.360 or and then the drag show is based on the movie. Um, 0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.480 and she's a big she I think. I know, she's 0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:12.400 like a big lover of Seed of Chucky. They did, 0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.600 like they just did a couple of years ago, they 0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:16.320 did a revival of it where she did on this 0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:18.520 show based on the movie. So like, I think it's 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.720 something that has uh kind of caught on later on 0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:25.000 and especially like been embraced by this like this like 0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:28.920 small like sub community of the horror community. Yeah. Yeah, 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:35.760 I definitely remember that. I did watch this because Glenn's 0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.480 face is a face you can't for me. And also 0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:42.200 I remember Glenn has been in a few memes. Uh, 0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:47.200 but uh yeah, I definitely remember, but I just can't remember. 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.640 It was one of those that kind of came through me. 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:53.200 Yeah it's yeah, you don't really rewatching it. I forgot 0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:56.920 that the movie literally opened with uh with like come 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.880 maccovery and like come oozing down the screen. C. Yeah. Yeah, 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:03.479 it's like but I I um, it's a yeah, it's 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:05.520 a hard movie to forget. But um, I mean and 0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.320 I sometimes with stress is that you know, I feel like, 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:11.760 you know, the movie does also like fall into some 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:16.560 of the you know words tropes about that we see 0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:20.440 about like trans or gender non binary people in horror movies. 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:24.000 You know, um it kind of like eventually it presents 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.960 Glenn like it's it kind of presents them as a 0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.200 person with like kind of like a split personality disorder, 0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:33.080 which is kind of like a aggressive way horror films 0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:36.560 that have tended to like to de pick like gender fluidity, 0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:38.640 like you know, going back to like to like even 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:42.240 things like Psycho or that to Palma film, um Um 0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:45.760 Dressed to Kill. But it is but at the same time, 0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:50.800 you know, like I I like it for what it is. 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:52.320 It was a movie that like faced a lot of 0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:54.800 uphill battles with what it couldn't couldn't do based on 0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:57.400 like what the studio is allowing. And you know, it's 0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.320 you know, I am a big believer in you know, 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.800 you know, even like even if it's not the best representation, 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:08.880 it was still like, you know, representation of you know, 0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:11.600 my community of like the way I saw myself in 0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.280 a genre I love, in a franchise I love, So 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:16.240 you know, I that's not to say that, like we 0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.000 don't like acknowledge and d and like deal with the 0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:21.440 problematic parts of it, but we also like, I also 0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.280 like love that it's that it exists, and you know, 0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.080 Glenn slash Glenda is still a character. You know that 0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:29.239 I that that that I love and speaks to me 0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:33.880 and like, yeah, just despite their their issues. So we're 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.360 moving on to the Curse of Chucky, which just I 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.000 mean that sounds like that could have just been the 0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:42.320 name for all of the Yeah, I was wondering why 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.160 I didn't see this one, but this one was direct 0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.200 to video yeh, the next two or direct to video. 0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:50.800 Cursive Chucky is a cursive Chucky was like dominancene E 0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:52.880 being like because I think, like the this is like 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:57.200 two thousand thirteen, right, and like them, the franchise had 0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:00.719 kind of been in like limbo um and I know 0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.520 even he at one point was like, maybe we should 0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:06.320 reboot it um, but eventually he decided that, um, it 0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.200 was like, let's just like a back It's like it's 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:09.880 a moving the same continuity, but it's like kind of 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.720 like a back to basics, like scary like is Chucky 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:17.040 alive or not? Type movie? Um, And that also introduces 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:19.360 like kind of like the new protect like you know, 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:23.480 protagonist of the series. Who's this woman named Nika. She's 0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:26.720 actually played by um Brad Durroff, the voice of Chucky. 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:31.239 He's played by her daughter. Uh she's a uh she's paraplegic. 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:34.440 I believe she's like she's like in a wheelchair. Um. 0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:38.600 And the movie is about kind of like her like family. Um, 0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:43.040 it's an all in one night movie. Uh. The mother 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:47.279 is killed after this suspicious dollar has been uh male 0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:49.400 to their house. And it's kind of like a like 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:51.280 a murder mystery of trying to figure out like who's 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:53.840 doing this and like is Chucky really alive or not? 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:58.279 And throughout like i'd say, for the first like so 0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:00.359 you know, three quarters of the movie, like it could 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.400 just be like it just kind of plays as a 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.520 potentially like a reboot, like you don't know if this 0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:07.000 is even in the same continuity. And then at the end, 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.719 like there is a big reveal that this is the 0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:12.200 same continuity, Like Chucky takes off his like mask and 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.600 he's still like stitch face Chucky underneath. Um and yeah, 0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:19.040 and uh that's yeah, it's it's I really like these 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.600 last two, Like Curse of Chuck, he's like a lot 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:22.200 of fun. Just it's just like a good fun like 0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:26.160 scary like Studio Haunted House movie. I like this ending 0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:30.760 too because you know, spoiler, we're gonna spoil it. But yeah, 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.759 he ends up at because I guess, like part of 0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:37.080 the movies, he's being mailed places. Basically, yes, yes, we 0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.280 find out that he's okay. So end of really quick 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:44.760 end of Seed of Chucky. Uh, Tiffany possesses the body 0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.000 of Jennifer Tilly. So now Tiffany is going around like 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:52.480 as Jennifer Tilly in this reality. But she they are 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:56.399 now like basically they're mailing Chucky to everyone who's ever 0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.760 like wronged him. And so next step on that next 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.759 stop on that journey is like the is Andy if 0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:05.319 who from the first film and but and he's ready 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.240 for him? Is Andy now an adult? Yes, it's Andy's 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:10.279 an adult and it is the original act because they 0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.520 got a different they different actor who played Chucky in 0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.160 child Play three because they wanted Asian up to sixteen. 0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:19.200 But now it's they've returned to like the original actor 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.280 who played him in child Play one and two, who's 0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:23.520 now like you know, aged up two. Is it like 0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:26.400 mid thirties I believe, and he or maybe even literally 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:29.440 forties and now, Yes, it's that original. It's that original Andy. 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.439 That's so cool. Yeah. It ends with like like he's 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:34.800 like and he's ready for him, he like shotgun blasts 0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:36.520 and right if he comes out of his box. I 0:36:36.560 --> 0:36:38.600 love that he's just moving around like Sisterhood of the 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:42.200 Traveling Pants. Yes, yeah, just Spain shipped. We have to 0:36:42.239 --> 0:36:44.360 take another really quick break. We're going to hop into 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.600 the rest of Chucky and the future of Chucky right 0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:58.160 after this and we're back. The last thing I wanted 0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:00.120 to say on the Curse of Chucky is that is 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.919 when they had the Halloween Horror Knights Universal, they had 0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:07.480 a Chucky's fun House. Yes, um, which is where uh, 0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.880 Chucky's Fun House is like more directly taken from um. 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:14.440 Like it was definitely there to sponsor because of Chucky, 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:18.120 but the the attracting itself was more like in the 0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:20.640 in line with um the end of child Play three, 0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:22.200 because it was like a fun it was like a 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:26.440 fun fair like environment. Um. Also, um, Yeah, Chucky has 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.719 been a pretty constant presence at Halloween Horn. Yeah. I 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.000 remember last year. Oh my gosh they you go. You 0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.560 went on their bus. Uh, They're like tram and it 0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:35.719 pulled up and they were like a thousand Chuck. It 0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:37.920 was all these Chucky's of all different heights and they 0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:40.279 would like come and start walking towards you. A couple 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:42.000 a couple of years, a year or two before that, 0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:44.160 they did like it was Chucky's Terror Tram and it 0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:46.279 was like Chucky was like you were on the tram 0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.400 and Chucky was like kind of like a juggle like 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:50.879 the Jungle Cruise House, like make cracking jokes, but also 0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.560 like like he killed he had killed the guy who 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.439 was supposed to be giving it to our Um. Yeah, yeah, 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:58.560 I also wanted to shout out to the puppeteers. We 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:00.600 don't really think of them very off and it looks 0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:03.239 like on at least for the Curse of Chucky, there 0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:07.840 were one, two, three, four, five puppeteers. Um, so I 0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:10.080 assume on the other ones too that have like Bright 0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:13.560 of Chucky and um, the Seat of Chucky also have 0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:19.319 multiple Yeah. Um, they're putting in work make him look real. Yeah, 0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.680 because like uh, I mean even going back to the 0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.279 first one, like the reason I read some of the 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.680 reason don Mancini like was like, I'm gonna write my 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:29.120 Killer Donald movie now. Is because he saw Gremlin's and 0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.160 he was like, oh wow, Like puppeteering animatronics has evolved 0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:34.520 to the point that like you can do this and 0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:38.600 make it look like respectable and actually scary. Uh so yeah, 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.759 so like it that's a that's it's like kind of 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.600 the whole franchise in a way like was born of 0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:47.719 like oh, like the talent and skill of these puppeteers 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.120 and Animatron and Animatronics have like evolved a point that 0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.440 like I can do this story now. Yeah, so or 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:56.080 is it Cult of Chucky now or yeah now the 0:38:56.160 --> 0:39:00.279 second direct video film, Cult of Chucky, which was two 0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:03.160 thousand seventeen. That's a date I want you a year 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.440 I want you to remember because this is very important 0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.239 into where this is the discussion that's it's going to 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.040 end up with. Okay, great, Yeah, So Curse of Chucky. 0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:14.800 We're following Nika again. She is in an insane asylum 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.239 because she has also insisted that all these murders were 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:21.279 there were because of a killer doll. But we're also 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.480 kind of following this like other story, which is like 0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:28.600 um Andy has now like, uh, chop the head off 0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.080 of Chucky and is like torturing it, like he just 0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:33.640 keeps Chucky as like a victim, as like a torture 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.560 victim that he just like he's just like driving nails 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.279 and kidding it with a blowtorch constantly. But while we're 0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:42.840 that's happening. And also Nika is in this um uh 0:39:42.960 --> 0:39:47.920 insane asylum. Um, she is if someone males a Chucky 0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.360 doll there, And it seems like this Chucky is also 0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:55.120 killing is starting on a is starting a killing spree 0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:57.960 at the insane asylum. But it's like, how it could 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:00.880 Chucky be with Andy but all so be in this 0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:04.000 asylum with Nika. And the answer is that we finally 0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.440 got to that Chucky has learned how to put his 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:11.080 soul into multiple things. So now there are multiple Chucky's all, 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.000 I guess, all of the country committing all all kinds 0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:18.399 of murders. Yes, um, and it ends with um. Also, 0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:22.080 Jennifer Tilly is back in this one too. She is um, um, 0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:25.839 you're just being Jennifer Tilly, I guess. But with the 0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:29.600 sliver killer it's killer doll and her um. That one 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:35.799 ends with um. Chucky also possesses Nika. So now he's 0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:37.279 in the body of this is what he's kind of 0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.280 like taken over the body of this woman. Um. And 0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:44.360 now like it ends with like Nika Chucky, which is 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:47.560 what the fans call her, Nika Chucky and Jennifer Tilly 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:51.000 Tiffany meeting up and like it's implied that they are 0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.880 gonna be in a relationship. And like Chucky's kind of 0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:57.360 like the Chucky's comfortable in his like he's like, I 0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.520 like this new body, Like this feels this feels right. Um. 0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:05.560 So that's why. Yeah, which has like a trans icon Chucky. Um. Yeah. 0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:07.480 So they go off to commit more murders. Well there 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:11.880 are still like several Chucky dolls all over the country 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:13.880 of the world. Maybe. And um, also we get the 0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:20.320 reintroduction of Kyle the the um Kyle the foster sister 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:24.520 from two is kind of brought at the very end 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:27.920 just as a as a as a like credits cookie. 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.960 But yeah, she's back. The same actress came back for 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:32.799 that too. So yeah, I like how they keep it 0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:34.520 like and they keep the franchise like in the family 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:37.120 a little bit. Yeah. Also, I mean just think of 0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:39.759 like now we have Annabelle and we have like, I mean, 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:42.239 there's so many things that he was. Chucky was our 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:47.560 first possessed doll. Yeah. Yes, so the first the reason 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:51.680 that you're so very important is because this was all 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:54.760 news to me. So when the new Child's Play reboot 0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:58.680 was announced, it was a big controversy, not necessarily because 0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:01.520 it's a reboot, which at first I thought it was, 0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:06.600 but the Chucky community felt slighted because this was also 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:12.200 being done without Donci, without Don Mancini. Apparently he didn't 0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:15.440 even know. Yeah, yeah, no broad deer off. I was 0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:18.200 told that at one point, and this might have been 0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:21.400 after the fan uproar. I read that, like Don mancin 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.799 they offered Don Mancini like a producer credit, and he 0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:25.920 was like, I don't want like just like a like 0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:27.920 a like okay, like get out of your credit. So 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:31.200 he didn't take He didn't take it, Yeah, because that's 0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:33.960 the thing, because he's written all of these up until 0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:35.960 this point, so yeah, it would be weird for him 0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:39.160 to just be a quote unquote producer and yeah and 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:41.640 like and like that was when I kind of learned 0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:44.600 about these direct video ones. Was because people were like, 0:42:44.600 --> 0:42:46.520 the story is still going on? And the last one 0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:49.440 kind of ended on a cliffhanger, so it's weird to 0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:54.160 reboot it right now. Yeah, um supposedly, like uh, they 0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:55.960 were talking about this. I don't know where it is 0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:58.360 right now, but Sci Fi is doing like a Chucky, 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.400 a Chucky series to con tinue that for that franchise, 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:04.040 like now I believe, like I don't know if this 0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:06.040 is like the official classification, but I think the way 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.319 fans kind of determined is that like that kind of 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:12.839 the new continuity is like the Child's Play franchise at 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:16.239 like the Bread Darroff ones, the don Nancini ones are 0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:19.000 like the Chucky franchise. What did you first left Starve? 0:43:19.200 --> 0:43:22.120 What did you think about the Child's Play reboot? I? 0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:24.880 I was definitely part of the Chucky community. That was 0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:27.160 like I was not I was not happy about it, 0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:28.840 Like I didn't like it seemed weird to do it 0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:30.960 without Bread Garraffe. And also like you know, just from 0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:33.400 a personal standpoint, like you know, I and not that 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:35.520 I think this was like any of the thinking going 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.160 into the reboot, but it was like, you know, like 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:40.759 I like that child Play is a is a you know, 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.800 franchise that has been like created and like kind of 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:47.200 like controlled creatively by like like a queer creator for 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.480 so long that like and there's I think I feel 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:51.520 like there's so little of that in Hollywood that like 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.200 taking it or you know, not so little, but you know, 0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:56.520 like at least in the horror world, you know. Um, 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.640 but I did go to see it, and for honestly, 0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:04.839 like I because I think for legal reasons, it had 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.520 to distinguish itself so much from like the France, from 0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:10.239 the other Chucky movies. Like I was told that Lee 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:14.320 I had heard that legally, like they couldn't they just 0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:16.120 not only could they not use any of the existing 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:19.000 like Chucky mythology, which is why I think they had 0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:21.400 to resort to the like Chucky is like an ai. Um, 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:24.799 they couldn't like have any kills that like at all 0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:28.239 resembled anything from the other child's playing movies. So if 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:31.080 like Chucky kills somebody with like a nail gun in 0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:33.719 a Chucky in in one of the other movies, um, 0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:36.320 like this Chucky could never like killing one with a 0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:38.759 nail gun. And so that like really like I think 0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.120 like made them force them to come up with some 0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:45.160 like creative kills. And there are some like really like 0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:48.160 there are some really like weird like just out like 0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:51.320 like crazy kills and those moves in that movie that 0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:55.480 I enjoy and also like uh Mark Hamill, you know 0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.800 kind of Braddorf Chucky is just like this insane like 0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:02.680 kind of like this insane killer. Uh Mark Hamill plays 0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:05.759 Chucky has kind of like like how like a how 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:10.000 two thousand ask um, you know, in like in robot 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.719 who like goes crazy specifically because like it's like, oh, 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:14.799 this boy is his best friend and then the boy 0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.040 rejects him and he's like he's like a jealous boyfriend 0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:20.520 who wants his like his best friend back, um and um. 0:45:21.040 --> 0:45:25.000 So he plays it's a different slant on the character 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:27.200 that I that I didn't hate. I enjoyed some of it. 0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:30.320 Let's realized. Yeah, it's not even like it's not a 0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:33.520 soul in the body, it's it's it is a robot. Yeah, 0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:35.239 it's like an AI that gets corrupted and it's like 0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:38.759 it's it's like it's pretty dumb. Like is when you 0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:41.320 think about the fact that the reason Chucky can continue 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:43.600 to go is because with the introduction of Ludo magic, 0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.160 you can always make your soul go. Yeah, if they 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.120 kill this. There's no reason this other yeah, unless they 0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:52.000 like it's like that consciousness is up in the cloud 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:55.080 or something like. It even opens with like the reason 0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:57.560 he gets like the AI gets corrupted is because like 0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.080 we open it like the factory they're building Chucky and 0:46:00.160 --> 0:46:02.160 this guy gets fired and he's like okay, and he 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:06.600 like such like writes like coding into the doll, and 0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:11.480 it's like, oh, you want to you're gonna fire me. 0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.880 I'm gonna put some evil code in this doll. Well, 0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:17.120 it seems like everyone kind of agree with you, because 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.520 score wise, it has five point nine out of ten 0:46:19.640 --> 0:46:24.560 on IMDb, on Rotten Tomatoes, which is still technically fresh yeah, 0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:30.000 and forty percent on Metacritic. Uh uh. But it did 0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:33.200 make forty three million with a budget of ten millions, 0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:35.640 so we might this might not be the end of 0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:38.160 I don't know how they're going to continue that. But 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:40.839 but I mean, like I I was, I'm a big 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:44.879 follower of like horror Instagram, and prior to the movie 0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:46.680 coming out, there was just a lot of like we 0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:50.000 hate New Chucky, mean like lots of like being like 0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:53.960 people drawing like like um, you know, like old Chucky, 0:46:54.280 --> 0:46:59.600 like killing New Chucky, which I love, angsty like, and 0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:00.880 you know, now I think about it, like I should 0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:03.520 have some sympathy for this because like, because I was 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:06.759 working on ThunderCats, I was definitely part of a franchise 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:10.040 that like people were like no' like giving it no 0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:12.840 no credit, Like I no, I'm not gonna I'm just 0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:15.359 gonna like say I don't like this and never look 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:17.200 at it. You know what. I did the same thing 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.200 to Child's Play. I'm I'm part I'm I'm a part 0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.680 of the problem. But I did go see it and 0:47:22.840 --> 0:47:24.359 I didn't like, I didn't enjoy it, and a lot 0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.799 of the memes like those means kind of I think 0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:28.920 like the community was basically like, yeah, that's fine, we 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:31.719 still like what we still want Old Chucky. But you know, 0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:35.319 this wasn't a bad movie. We had Aubrey Plaza who 0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:38.800 was in it, also Gabriel Bateman, Brian Tyree Henry, and 0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:43.440 of course Mark camel Plane. Chucky one thing that I 0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:45.960 thought was really funny. So it was released June one 0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:48.960 of this year, twenty nineteen. It was the same weekend 0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:52.480 that Toy Story was released, and they really capitalized on 0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:55.439 that because I don't know if you caught the posters were, 0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:59.359 which was fascinating. It showed Andy because they have they 0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:03.279 both have boys named Andy um and it was like 0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:06.400 dead Woody like it was just like his you know. 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.320 They really the posters that they made were the same 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:13.400 posters as the Toy Story ones, like same background and everything, 0:48:13.480 --> 0:48:16.160 but it was like of Chucky, like killing the toys. Yeah, 0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:18.680 you know, maybe a little presumpould say, you know, I 0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:22.640 think liked Toy Story four for yeah, Story four probably 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.640 made about like, like, you know, five million dollars more, 0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:30.480 but I still admire I did like those posters. That 0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:32.960 was fun. Yeah, I thought it was cute. Yeah. Yeah. 0:48:33.040 --> 0:48:35.319 So it seems like the future of the I guess 0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:38.480 we'll call it the Chucky franchise lies in sci fi, 0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:41.960 and the future of Child's Play probably lies in oryan 0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:44.680 pictures on what they decide to do. And there's a 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:46.440 big I know, there's a big part of the community, 0:48:46.800 --> 0:48:48.400 not a big party. There's a small part of the 0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:52.800 community that really wants Chucky and Nika's body to Andy. 0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:55.520 So so I'm not a part of that community, but 0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:58.040 I know that's that's that's a thing people really some 0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:01.560 people really want. And by the way, just to answer 0:49:01.680 --> 0:49:04.320 your question, or not to answer your question, but to 0:49:04.440 --> 0:49:07.480 tack on when you said Chucky versus Toy Story, Toy 0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:11.680 Story four made one point zero fifty eight billion dollars 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:18.480 versus Chucky's. Yeah, a lot going for it. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Well, 0:49:18.560 --> 0:49:20.480 also we didn't really tackle this, but there was a 0:49:20.640 --> 0:49:25.600 huge controversy when Child's Play came out. There were parents protesting. 0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:28.440 In fact, they actually went to the studio to protest 0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:31.279 about it, which is so funny. It's like, I don't 0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:33.480 know if that's the thing they would do now. I mean, 0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:35.760 I guess I still have like one million moms and stuff. 0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:38.680 There's definitely like I feel like the eighties was a 0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:40.440 little bit of like the heyday of that. Like I 0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:43.840 remember like they're being like urban legends about like kids 0:49:43.920 --> 0:49:47.680 who like copy yeah, like blew up their cat in 0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:49.960 the microway, they have to seeing Gremlins, And I think 0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.560 all that was kind of just like hysteric, like hysteric 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.520 like kind of like an offshoot of the Satanic panics. 0:49:57.640 --> 0:50:00.759 But I yeah, yeah, I don't know if any of 0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:03.600 that was like proven to be to be Chucky's fault. 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:05.600 I don't know. Yeah, I mean that's the thing is 0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:08.640 it's funny because like, yeah, the one that we see 0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:12.680 is in a December of four people tortured and kill 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.440 sixeen year old Suzanne Kapper and were said to be 0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:19.400 influenced by the movies because during the torturing, the perpetrators 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:21.759 taunted her by playing her a song which is high 0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:24.800 I'm chucky want to play, But that just could have 0:50:24.880 --> 0:50:27.960 been any song. Like, you can't take someone doing something 0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:30.680 heinous and then like an element of it blaming it 0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:33.799 on that instead of like, you know, the actual things. 0:50:33.920 --> 0:50:36.719 But we've learned many times and times again that people 0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:41.200 will blame anything like what's actually the problem? Yeah, yeah, 0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:43.800 it's it's I don't know. I I don't know, and 0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:46.239 I honestly don't know enough about that particular story to 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.520 like commented on fully. And I don't want to make 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:51.719 light of you know this, regardless of you know, what 0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:54.520 encouraged it was, like it was a tragedy. But like 0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:57.400 I do because obviously, like I think, you know, movies 0:50:57.560 --> 0:51:00.400 and and video games that were like an easy escape 0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:03.800 go to not deal with real problem maybe real issues. 0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:06.840 And yeah, well, Joe, do you have anything that you 0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:10.040 want to plug?
