This May Hurt a Bit

We chat about all 8 episodes in the first season of the Syfy network's, "Chucky"! While 8 hrs causes it to be a little more inconsistent than a 90 min movie, we still found this to be a fun continuation of Mancini's...

<p>Well... we hit the remake from 2019. After watching all of Don's ideas unfold, all his zigs and zags, this version just feels cynical. Chucky's drive feels far less defined and boy do we miss Brad Dourif.</p>

<p>We are joined by special guest Michael Varrati, director of "The Chainsaw Awards" on Shudder and "Boulet Brothers- Dragula" among many others. We chat about his experience growing up with the "Child's Play" series...

<p>Is it a remake? A soft reboot? A back to the basics scarefest? Kind of all of the same! After the previous two films that traded more in comedy, this one goes for a Gothic, suspense/ horror film- starring Chucky...

<p>We're going full blown comedy and camp this week with "Seed of Chucky"! John Waters, REDman and Jennifer Tilly all join up with Chucky and Tiffany as Glen(da) navigates gender identity in a surprisingly earnest film...

<p>The "Child's Play" franchise gets a well loved re-invention this week! Jennifer Tilly brings the camp and the heart as Tiffany Valentine, the murderous counterpart to Brad Dourif. Violence and laughs and a little...

<p>"Child's Play 3" hit the theaters a mere nine months after the release of Part 2. Don Mancini, running on creative fumes, set this sequel at a military academy.. and a carnival. And while it's a good time, it lacks...

<p>Sorry Jack, Chucky's back. Andy is placed in a new foster home by Laura Palmer's mom! Will this NEW family believe him that there's a killer doll on the loose? The Chucky persona gets dialed in more in this sequel...

<p>Tom Holland and Chris Sarandon return to the Hurt feed with 1988's "Child's Play"! The first in the classic killer doll slasher, this film starts in a bit more of a horror/ thriller vein. Check out all those puppet...

<p>After just two older and one brand new entry, we've come to the end of the franchise already. How do you successfully adapt these games? What did Gans learn in his 20 years in between entries? Best rendition of...

<p>Are we the only two people on the internet that liked this movie? Seems so! While not perfect, it still captures the feeling of "Silent Hill 2" the game and the additions do make some sense. </p>

<p>We invite back to the show, our resident 3D expert, Rob Campbell! He uses advanced (dated) home 3D technology to report in on all the great 3D effects in the film. We also manage to cover- what other jobs Pyramid...

<p>We take on our first video game franchise! Does the creeping dread of the game translate to the film? Can you jam lots of exposition into a story that already has a story? And who is... Pyramid Head and why is he...

<p>We chat about the franchise as a whole! Best vampire(s), best Evil Ed, and where we might take the series next. </p><p>Stay tuned to hear what series we tackle next....</p>

<p>We finish the franchise by talking about this very much related, very much a sequel... er, remake of the first one? Shot in Romania and taking place in Romania (!), this new version follows Charlie and Evil Ed taking...
