Hi, cuties and welcome back to Whorror icon, your queer playground for all things. Scary, sexy, and stupid. You know me, I'm crybaby the spooky slut from your wettest nightmares. And I am Donnie Cianciotto. I am probably not the spooky slut from your wettest nightmares. Not with that attitude. I know. It's it's like a Monday, but it's not. No, it's not a Monday. It feels like a Monday. It feels like a Monday. So I don't really feel particularly spooky and sexy and slutty yet. You will, once we get started tonight. You better believe it. So, um, I'm going to pull back the curtain again. I'm legitimately considering just adding a segment. To our show and just call it, pulling back. The curtain sounds good to me. I feel like I just need to preface every episode with some backstory, like. The epic saga that Donnie and I went through to get this episode recorded. Oh yes, please do share. Okay. So here's the thing. I think we had initially scheduled to record this maybe two weeks ago, maybe a little bit longer than that. Maybe it might've been three weeks ago. Cause then we missed two and then we did one. It's been awhile. It's been awhile. So 87 years. It's been 87 years. Oh, my goodness. That was good. Um, So, yeah, basically, yeah, we scheduled it. I wasn't feeling well. We rescheduled it. Donnie wasn't feeling well. Then we tried doing a remote recording situation because I was out of the city. And we, it was literally, we were three hours, three hours. We were recording this episode. And for some reason, the last 30 minutes, which are pivotal, of course, because of course we're going over the third act, the last part of the movie and what happened to it? I have no idea. It just disappeared. I was editing this footage. And I was like, where the fuck is the finale? Oh, no. So that's the backstory for all of you to understand how, how many odds we've had to overcome to get this episode to your ears. So basically we've already done this, so if it's not perfect, We're screwed. Honestly. I don't know if I want to hold myself to those standards. Nor do I. And to add a little extra layer of tasty cakes to this. Uh, today is the day the podcast launch. It is May 31st. Today. It is May 31st, today. Do you know what that means? It means it's my birthday. Hey, happy birthday. Everybody say happy birthday, Tanti Aguri to me. I need to go pee. Not. In about four hours, we're going to be performing. It's it's been, it's been a time. But we're so happy to be here with you and thrilled to be launching this. So thank you for watching. Yes. Thank you so much for being here. now that the curtain has been officially pulled back. Uh, how are you Donnie? We know that it feels like a Monday. It does feel like a Monday. Um, I I'm okay. I'm okay. I did a lot of running around today. I had to pick up my laundry and change my sheets on my bed because my girlfriend's coming over tonight. I don't know if I should say girlfriend, my lady who was a friend is coming over tonight and. They were covered in cat hair. And who wants to go over to somebody else's house and sleep in cat hair? It depends on the cat. It's a very sweet cat. you know, it's one thing for me to sleep in the cat hair, but to have somebody come over, you know, I just felt like, let me redo the sheets and. I put the duvet comforter on or the cover on which takes about six days. To do. i dont know if you ever put a duvet cover on, I am. No. Good. Never do it. I never do it. I mean, who cares about a little pussy hair? Am I right? That's right. I mean, one. Yeah, I don't even have anything to say to that because a little pussy hair is fine with me. Yeah. Never hurt nobody. I'm very excited to talk about. The movie that we're talking about today. of course we are. Going balls to the wall. Um, talk to the wall. Tuck to the wall. Into child's play the child's play franchise. And we're going to be talking about child's play to child's play to yes. which means it's the second movie. And his franchise, cause it's got the two in it. between the last time we recorded and now. I still have not looked up the year that this movie came out. I. It 1990 is screaming in my brain. Okay. I think it's 1990. That's. I'm going to that's. Okay. That's what it is 1990. And if it's not 1990, then it's my fault. Whoops. So yeah, it's, child's play two. We have sweet, hot and daddy, Don Mancini back there it is. We usually we make it a little further into the episode before you mentioned Don Mancini by name? No, I've been looking at his Instagram lately. Uh, he posted a really handsome selfie today. No. Not today yesterday. Oh, yeah. And, um, so he's been on my mind. Do you comment? No. Oh, you should be like, Hey, check it out. Check out whorror icon. I sub-tweet. I don't know what that means. I don't even know. No. So what I did actually on, on the Twitter, I retweeted his selfie and I was just like, listen, when whorror icon launches y'all are going to get an ear full. Of me talking about how hot Don Mancini is, and it's, it's still going strong. Yes. Yes, Don Mancini is, A very attractive man who seems to only get more attractive as he ages. Yeah. Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. I am here for Don Mancini. So. Uh, and Don man seen he is here for us. Right Child's Play 2, he has sole writing credits on this movie. Which is fantastic. Now I'm going to be honest. I watched child's play two when it probably when it first came out or very shortly after, but I, you know, I have very little recollection of that. And when I rewatched it, because we were going to do this. Uh, my, one of my first thoughts was. The way that this movie is starting is indicative that it's not going to be as good as the first one. Yeah, that's, that's what I thought. Um, and my mind changed a little bit as the movie went on, but when it first started, I was like, what is this? I can see that it's very stylized this movie, which is why I like it. Child's play two, is one of my favorites in the franchise because I'm a big fan of bold stylistic decisions. And this movie is chock-full of them, baby. It absolutely has. From the color palette to the, to the choices that the actors make and just the low angles on so many inanimate objects. Um, it's, it's a treat in my opinion. I get the feeling you don't really like this one. It's not that I don't really like it. It's just that. I wanted a little bit more from it. Um, you know, when, when we discussed this last, I talked about how I wanted more from the kills. Okay. I can see that. You know, but we'll, we'll go through that. And, and I just, I wanted, I don't know, maybe I wanted more blood, more gore. Or more camp. I feel like this movie gets caught kind of in between. You know, the first movie which was done seriously. And then we get obviously ridiculous as we go further through, the, the series and this one, you know, Chucky starts kind of delivering one-liners, but they're, they're kind of tentative. And we don't know if it's meant to really be funny. And it's just kind of like, I felt like the movie wasn't sure what it wanted to be yet. That's fair. Yeah. I mean, Chucky is workshopping. Some of it. That's it he's at like a dive bar in Greenpoint. Practicings his standup set, but. I can, okay. Here I can support that. I. A lot of people love this movie for a lot of people. This is their favorite. And I support them with that, but I'm not going to shame you for your opinion. Thank you. You are on this show because I want your opinion. And I will just, you know, I mean, I won't shame you, but I might disagree with you. Yes. Yes. I mean, it's, it's not my least favorite in the franchise. Um, but I just, I just wanted more. That's okay. It's okay. Tonight. I'm like wake up in my bed and you're going to be standing over me. With a bag of cat hair, just to. Undo all the work that you did. Oh my God. That would be hilarious. Well, let's jump into the movie. Um, you know, speaking of kills in child's play one. Chucky had a pretty gnarly death. Oh yeah. He got thrown in a fireplace. He got shot to bits and pieces by mama. Karen. And eventually he got shot in the heart. And you'll go to blame. Sorry. I couldn't resist. I'm so sorry. So he's all crispy. And that's the first shot that we get from this movie is just his head. All charred and crispy. And it is being renovated, not renovated. Oh my goodness. The right word. I mean, he is being renovated. Yeah. Renovated, rehabilitated. Reconstructed. Yeah, they're putting that bitch back together, which is so strange because you know, they, they just churn out good guy dolls, like they're going out of style, but for some reason they want to specifically rehabilitate this doll. Rehabilitate all these abilities that start with re yes. It's ridiculous. It's well done. yeah, no, we get some artisinal doll construction here. And we do find out. Uh, we it's intercut. The reconstruction with a limousine, and we know that there's somebody very important in this vehicle. Obviously one of those 1990s limousines. So we ended up meeting the CEO of the, I think they're called play pal. Yep. Play. pal play pal company. And he's talking with his pencil, neck assistant, right. I feel like every movie is going to have a pencil. neck, everybody has that one guy, you know, who's just like annoying. And, he's the yes. Yes, man. You know? Yeah. The just licking the boots, boot, licker. So they're chatting and we learn that. A mama. Karen is not going to be in this movie. Unfortunately, mama Karen, it has been turned over to the state and is in a psychiatric Institute.'cause she backed up what her child said. And we learned that the cops did not back up what the child said, those fuckers are. We surprised? Thanks for nothing, Chris. Surandon that's right. And their main reason for rehabilitating this doll is because. They need to prove that there was nothing wrong with it because Andy Barkley has basically lit this shit on fire. And this company is getting a lot of heat about their quality control for their dolls. So they're rebuilding this one to basically prove a point to prove that he's not alive. It's not a murderous doll. Andy is obviously just a disturbed child. so they're trying to fix this doll to help fix the image of the company. And as they're trying to do this, The opposite thing happens because they go to insert the eyeballs into this doll. And I guess the eyes are the window to the soul. Well done. Well said. And so when the eyes get put into the doll, More of that beautiful eighties, electricity. I love it. I love it. At the, that. Amazing. Special effect with a sound effect too. That's like a man standing in the corner, shaking like a big piece of tin. You know, and yes, the, the men who were putting together Chucky. One of them ends up completely fried. Because, things go wrong. Yeah. He was touching the machine and he gets heated across the room. Does he does, he does a back flip through a window. And, uh, you know, when you're, w that's how I would do it, I would, I would get heated with style. A thousand percent. However, I will say, this is one of two special effects in this movie that doesn't work for me in terms of makeup, because he doesn't look all that crispy. He doesn't look all that fried. It's just like blood smeared on his face. He's he is bloody. Yeah. He likes, stuck his face in a jar of raspberry jam. That's what it looks like to me. but, uh, he died and that. Probably doesn't look good for the company. It doesn't. And I can't decide if that counts as the first like Chucky death or if that's just like a coincidental death, you know? I'll give it to them. You'll give it to them. Yeah. Cause I mean, if Chucky wasn't coming back to life, Then, you know, homie would still be alive. Wouldn't have happened. Wouldn't have had the raspberry on his face. No raspberry on the face. So, uh, right out of the gate, we do get a death. And while this is happening, we get to meet Andy as he is now. And he's playing like go fish or something with a psychiatrist or psychologist or a brain doctor. Yes, the man who was a brain doctor, somebody who asks way too many questions and invalidates his feelings because he's telling Andy that it was all just a dream. And basically teaching him how to repress and suppress. The trauma that he went through. Yeah, Andy has pretty much figured out that the only way that he's going to get through, I mean, he's what eight. Ten eight. I think he's like eight. Yeah. He's he's learned that he kind of has to say, oh yeah, I guess it was just a dream. In order to be like left alone. Simultaneously we have the foster care. Uh, principal, what are they called over there? Uh, like the person, the woman who runs the foster care. Yeah. Uh, Madam, Madam. We have grace pool, who is the head madam of. The foster home. Madam of the foster home, it's so wrong, but it's going to be what I say forever. Now, she's talking to a married couple Joanne and Phil. About Andy and Phil immediately. Is not interested. No, he's not interested in this child. He thinks that perhaps they're not, capable of taking care of somebody who has emotional and mental scars like Andy does. Exactly. And Joanne is all for it. And grace pool is just like, I give you kids all the time, you know, don't worry. They bounce back at this age, they bounce back at this age. What a, what a healthy way of looking at childhood trauma bitch. He watched how many people die. Yes. Yes. And you're just like, it's fine. Gonna be fine. Take them into your home, please. I guess that worked though it did work because they do indeed decide to take Andy with them. And as Andy goes home with the foster parents, Chucky, the doll ends up, uh, going home with pencil neck. Because the CEO wants nothing to do with this doll. Cause he has a meeting with investors. Very important, very. He was the one in the limousine. So, you know, it's important. and when pencil, neck asks what to do with the doll, right. He says, shove it up your ass. The words for the wise. Right. What do I do with this doll? You shove it up your ass. That's the wrong kind of toy for that, but whatever. Whatever floats your boat, buddy. So then pencil, neck ends up with Chucky in the car with him because his car is full of toys, because I guess when you work at a toy, Factory, you take them all home. So Chucky ends up in the backseat because there's no room in the trunk. And we see pencil neck drive away. And then we get to see Andy's dynamic with Joanne and Phil the actress that plays, Joanne has a very interesting. way of speaking, she does. She sounds like she's doing Shakespeare in a horror movie. It's really interesting the way she talks and it turns out she's, she's British. So she went to like fancy British acting school and is trying to sound like an American. But everything she says comes off as bizarrely proper. yeah, I can't remember the actress's name, but She was upset that she did this shit, this movie, actually, she viewed it as the low point of her career. And we can talk about why later. That's right. Yeah, she it's so interesting. She's a, a true thespian. She takes, she takes the art so seriously. Especially when she asks Andy. Andy what's your favorite food in the whole entire world? That's great. That's literally what she sounds like. And after Andy says chocolate, he tells her that he likes eggs. He likes. Because mom used to make him eggs. And then, uh, Phil asks Andy, if he likes sushi. And while Phil is mansplaining the concept of sushi to Andy, he almost kills everybody in the fucking car. By crashing into a good guy. Semi-truck yes. The semi-truck has the right of way. I'm assuming and turns out in front of them. And here's Andy in the back seat looking at this truck as it passes him. And what's on the corner or the side, rather of the good guy truck, but an enormous doll. Yes. That's it, the little wave thing. And, uh, this poor child is just, you know, consistently faced with this image. How ominous to, he doesn't realize. We understand the foreshadowing. But, but little Andy is just, you know, trying to figure out what sushi is. So after this, they get back to their home. Which a lot of people rag on this home for it's terrible. Interior designing and color scheme. It, it does kind of look like Pepto-Bismol threw up on the walls. It reminds me of my grandma and grandpa's house. It does. It feels this place feels very not child appropriate. Right? Like there should be. Um, plastic on the furniture. A hundred percent, but what I will say and what I meant. I brought this up last time. What I will say is. This is a trans house because the walls are painted with the trans flag colors. I, now this is something I didn't notice. but yeah, it is a, it is a transgender home. I don't know if that was intentional on their production designers part. I don't know, but that's my head cannon. This is a trans home, and I feel like Joanne would accept a trans child. I think she would accept any child. She she's. Desperate, she's desperate for a baby of her own. Which we come to learn later, but yeah, because what happens now, like they walk into the home. They tell Andy. I think you brought this up is they tell Andy, make yourself comfortable and then just let him go and then just leave him alone. And they walk into the home. He's got his little suitcase. And they say, make yourself at home. And then they immediately turn away from him and start having their own conversation and leave the little boy all by himself. Just walking around the living room, looking at things. And there's no, like, let me show you around or would you like to see your room or nothing? They're just like, all right, go ahead. It's almost like they've completely forgotten that he's there. Until he touches something that they don't want him to touch. Right. And then all of a sudden they're there to parent. Exactly. Cause there's this little chotsky that is placed. So low towards the ground, like it is conveniently child height placed. And Andy goes to touch it. And Phil comes in with nano no rule number one. Don't touch that shit. Yeah. Why would you have things like that in our home where that you bring children into regularly? They're, you know, apparently foster parents that, you know, turn out children a lot. So, um, rule number one. Probably should have been stated before. It was needed. Maybe we should have a talk about the rules now that you're here in the home. But then Joanne tells us that this Chachi is very important to her because her great grandmother gave it to her grandmother who gave it to her mom who gave it to her. And then Andy being the curious little kid that he is asks well, who are you going to give it to? And I feel like that was a punch in the gut to Joanne. There's kind of an oppressive silence there for a minute. And we, we realize that perhaps there's something going on here. Exactly. So. They end up taking Andy upstairs. And. Joanne made him these curtains, my ass. Exactly it. Yes. They walk into the room and she says something about, I made those curtains for you. And we're kind of led to believe that they didn't even know that. They were going to be taking this child home until that day. So that kind of sounds like a lie to me. Yeah. And she also says, I bet your favorite color is blue. Maybe this isn't a trans household. Right, right. Yeah. She's, you know, But again, she didn't know she was bringing a little boy home. Maybe there's a room with pink curtains. And if it had been a little girl, she would have put them in that room or her in that room. I mean, I don't know how she identifies. Yeah. I mean, who knows? Like, I, she, I feel like she has probably a room for everyone. My god, there's room for everybody. Let's just say that. There's one that's green where you're just like, I don't know. I don't know. There's one, that's yellow for people who are in the water sports. Like. When you take home those children. Anyway. Uh, those ones get the Betsy Wetsy, the Betsy Wetsy doll. That's an entirely different murder movie series. It's terrible. Anyway. While Andy is investigating his room. He goes into the closet and gets assaulted by our good guy doll. He most certainly does. And of course he has a reasonable reaction of terror and panic and fear, 100% he freaks out. And so he tries to run out of the room and then fuck ass. Phil comes in. rule number two, no running in the house. Now, this is a child that you've just been told. You know, has had this experience with the good guy doll. You think you'd want to maybe. Take that away. Hide it, put it somewhere else where the kid isn't going to come face to face with it, but no, no, they, they, Kind of feel like Andy should just be okay with the fact that this thing that traumatized him. And, you know, put his mother in a institution. he should just be okay with it. Yeah. Well, Joanne says, oh, I'm so sorry. So many kids come through here. I didn't even know that was in there. It doesn't sound like the truth to me. I don't trust her. They're just. Simultaneously. with pencil neck. we see him driving along. And the rain and, he gets a phone call or he calls someone something, he's got a phone in the car, very, very fancy. So, you know, he makes money. He makes that, that toy money. And, He has a fancy date that night, but he forgot to pick up. The vodka. That's what it is. He's got to stop and pick up vodka because he knows what that does to her. That's right. I know what that does to you. And he hangs up and he's like, fuck. He clearly forgot that. Yeah. He forgot the vodka. And back at the foster home, we meet my, probably my favorite character in this whole, this whole movie. And probably one of my top five in the whole series. Yeah, and we meet Kyle. Oh, Kyle, tell us about Kyle. Oh, Kyle. My love, um, Kyle is also a foster kid, but about 17 years old because she does make a reference to, you know, Having a job and needing to make money because next year she'll be she'll age out of the system. And Kyle is this bad ass. one of those, one of those girls that when I was, uh, you know, 10 year old girl watching this movie, I didn't know if I wanted to be Kyle or be with Kyle, you know, Like one of those, those tough looking. The final girl feels, you know, I think Christine Elise is the actress that plays her. And she says that Kyle is very much like the tough chick with the heart of gold, with a heart of gold. Yes. Yes. And, you know, it's funny because I recognize her from something and it's because I watched the original Beverly Hills 90210 because I'm not old. And she played a character named Emily on it. Wow. And I remember. Vaguely, you know, I have this recollection of this character and again, being like, There is something about that. Actor then I just am enamored with, I think it's the jawline. she's very attractive first off, like my goodness. She's 59 years old now, and she's just gorgeous. 1000%. But I also think, yeah, just her energy. She's just so effortlessly. Cool. Kyle is so cool. That's it? And smokes. So, you know, like, oh, that was a sign of coolness. At that time, I will never be as cool as Kyle. I would love to be, but I don't think I'll ever be as cool as her. It's it's just Kyle, But Joanne wants Kyle to make dinner or help her make dinner. And then Kyle talks about how she wants to work because she's on her own next year. And Joanne just does not support that. No, no. Joanne wants a family dinner. Despite the fact that this young woman is trying to do something for herself, that's really important. So after that, we are back with pencil, neck, back with pencil, neck. In the pouring rain, he finds, there's nothing else in this, on this block, except for a store that says liquor on the corner, you know, on like a liquor on the corner. Why didn't that just strike me as. It's around the corner. Like. Who on the corner? I don't even know her. It's a decent, um, but there's a neon sign that says liquor. And so he stops the car and he runs out in the rain. And it goes into the store and it turns out that, um, he can't actually purchase a bottle of liquor because they don't take cards. They only take cash and he's got one of those fancy, I can't remember what it is. Gold card, gold card. As good as cash he says. Um, and the, and the man says not here. And unfortunately, no, no Vodka for pencil neck. Sorry, Gabriela. I guess we won't know what the vodka does to you. That's right. oh, but while this is happening, Chucky. Chucky climbs from the back seat and remember how the fancy car had a phone. Well, he calls from that fancy phone, the foster home. And. Grace pool. Fails. The security test. Oh yes, absolutely. Because Chucky is just like, I need to know where Andy Barclay is and she's like, Andy doesn't live here anymore. And so Chucky's like, well, this is his uncle Charles. Charles, and I guess that's all the verification she needed because the next thing we get is Chucky fucking holding Uh, squirt gun. To pencil neck's head. Once he gets into the car. Any hijacks it to the address. Yep. That was it. Well done. Grace pool. You single-handedly set this movie in motion. That's right. If she'd have been like, well, you're going to have to come in so we can see some identification. Nope. Nope. Instead just like here's the address? Write it down. It's wild. So Chucky does hijack this car and it's so funny cause you commented on how weird it is. Well, it, to me, it struck me as how pencil neck was so calm. I mean, he's, he's nervous. There's a gun to his head, but I thought he was so chill about the fact that there's this talking toy doll. Holding a gun to his head, but then you brought up a good point. I think that. I think the way that they directed it was supposed to be like, he doesn't realize it's a doll. I don't know how, because the blocking is so fucking weird. Blocking is weird. And plus like, anytime you look in the rear view mirror, you're going to see who's behind you, you know? So you, but you could be right that, you know, he just thinks that there's a person in the car holding a gun to his head and he can't see it because it's behind him. Who knows. He ends up driving to the foster home during a dark stormy or rainy night. Oh, yes. And. This is when we find out it's a water gun, cause Chucky squirts it on his face. And then there's that moment of awkward laughter. Were there, they're both laughing. I think that we discussed this previously where, horror and comedy their, their bedfellows. They're strange bedfellows. And, that release where he starts laughing is what you do sometimes when you're scared, You might scream, but then usually you also laugh because it's a relief where you're like, oh, I'm not actually in any danger. So pencil neck. You know, get squirted with a water gun. Must think I'm not actually in any danger, but he doesn't realize that. It doesn't take much for Chucky to kill a person. As it turns out he is very much in danger. Chucky goes back to his roots because he is known as the lake shore strangler. And last movie, we did not get any strangulations or suffocations. But not on tonight. Chucky. He gets a plastic bag and fricking suffocates pencil neck, and is laughing like a maniac the entire time. Yeah, we get a great Brad Douriff. Laugh. See, this is one of the reasons why I like child's play to so much because we cut the bullshit. We get to the good old Chucky action right away. It does happen pretty quickly. Pencil neck is dead. Yep. And there maybe. A block away from Andy's new home. They're definitely somewhere in suburbia near the home. So Chucky makes his way to the foster home while Joanne is reading. A story to Andy. Joanne is reading Hansel and Gretel, which is, you know, A terrifying story. And not one that I would read on a dark and stormy night to my foster child on his first night in my home. But you know, it is a classic. I guess. And I remember you mentioned this last time, so I like to pay attention to the stories that parents or people read in horror movies, because. In most cases, there's going to be some sort of thematic relevance, whether it's like super doodoo, pretty on the nose and just like kitschy or if it has some sort of deeper. Subtextual meaning. And you pointed out and Hansel and Gretel that the bad person, like the villain, like, of course there's the witch that's like super hungry, but you know, if you're food insecure, don't. Don't be judged. That's right. Don't judge people who are food insecure. If the, which has got to eat the, which has got to eat, she had to eat. But the true villain is the stepmother you mentioned. Right. Right, right. You. We think of the bad guy from Hansel and Gretel is being the witch, but it's really the step-mom who wants to get rid of these children. And takes them out into the woods and abandons them there. And, you know, that's, to me, I don't know that I necessarily clocked that when I was a kid and I was being introduced to the story. But as an adult now, I'm like, oh, that's the villain. That's the true villain of the story. And it's so interesting because. We have kind of a step mother figure. Who's a revolving door. Of childcare. Maybe Joanne. Maybe Joanne bakes the children. Maybe that's why there's so many kids that Phil does say that she's a good cook. Oh, scene, look at what just happened. That's my head Canon done. Done. Done. Done. Anyway, Joanne doesn't want to finish reading the story to Andy because it's too close to home now. Um,, Right. Cause she's hungry. Because she's hungry. she doesn't want to finish the story and Andy's she just like. Stops midway through and she's like, and they lived happily ever after. And he's like, uh, No. I think that's how that goes. And she goes, it is tonight. And Andy's just like, please don't go. Like I miss my mom. Right. And he asks her if he's ever going to see his mom again and Joanne. I hate the fact that she promises him, that he will see his mother. She doesn't know. She doesn't know, like I understand trying to soothe a child. But that's not your promise to make mama. so, you know, this poor kid. Is scared. Because of his life experiences, but also because of the storm. And she does say that she will stay with him for as long as he wants. And she sings to him, which is sweet because I guess Karen mama, Karen used to sing to Andy. And while this is happening, we get this fun shot. Over the railing inside of the home. And we see Chucky standing out the bottom of the stairs looking absolutely disgusted. Yes. He's, he's really disgusted by what he sees. It's. It's like an adorable scene. So it's gross to him And he ends up running headfirst into Tommy, Tommy. That's the name of the other good guy dial the one that terrified, Andy earlier. And Tommy of course says, hi, I'm Tommy. Want to play something like that? Chucky say. Shut up stupid. And he like punches them to the ground and then grabs that super precious chotsky that Andy is not allowed to touch. And beats the shit out of Tommy with it. Just wreck's face until both the face and the chotsky are broken. Of course, of course, because. Again, foreshadowing. The chotsky being low enough for a child to grab. That was also low enough for Chucky to grab. And so Chucky takes the body out back and another cool shot of Chucky burying Ms. Doll underneath the swing. Laughing again, like a maniac, right. And he buries Tommy with this toy shovel. So it's just so, so this is one of those moments that's incredibly campy. Because he's just, committed murder, even though it was a doll, but it was still very violent. And at the same time he's burying, it looks like a play school shovel, you know, I'm sure it's probably a good guy shovelers or something like that. But it's a moment of like, This is humorous. Are we supposed to be laughing or should we be scared? Maybe both. That's right. It's both. It's so fun. It's so great. I'd love how much maniacal Chucky laughter we get in. So they do. And I can just envision Brad Douriff in a studio, just in front of the microphone and they're like, okay, go. And he just laughs hysterically. And then they stop it and they're like, okay, we need one more and he has to do it again. You know, like it's just so good. Brad Douriff is fucking phenomenal. so yeah, Tommy's dead and Chucky is now slithering into his place. And the next day we see a very disappointed Phil. With a broken Chachi and He is interrogating Kyle and Andy, because he knows that one of them broke this precious, precious chotsky. It was either. You know, Kyle or, or Andy, I mean, who else is in the house? So he's telling these kids that they need to come clean and neither of them broke it, obviously. So, he ends up doing this thing that I hate. I hate it so much. And he decides that since neither of them are going to be truthful, he is going to punish the both of them. Blanket punishments are not effective. You hear that parents of America, teachers of America. People of America and the world that's right. More than America, more than America globally, he does that whole, well you're both are grounded. And Kyle has a date that night. Yes, Kyle has a date. She can't be grounded. But alas, they are. And now they're sentenced to a whole day of chores. Andy and Kyle get to have some cute little sibling bonding time in the basement while they do laundry. While Kyle is smoking. Yes. Cause she's a cool kid. And. This is where we learn a little bit more about how Kyle has been dropped from foster home to foster home. And she's trying to give Andy some foster Lee advice because she knows that the system's broken and Andy, while. A little bogged down from the reality that he lives in. She still sees him as somebody who is so fresh and green. So she wants to give him some advice, which I think is sweet. It is sweet. There. There's a bonding moment between the two of them, you know, cause she could be really mad at him. Blaming him for breaking said tchotchke game, but she doesn't really seem to be no, she doesn't. I don't know that she's bothered by much. Yeah, I don't think so either. And one thing else that, I'll mention, I really like this and I'm sure it's intentional. Kyle is the only character in this movie that sees Andy as like an actual person, not as some sort of broken and capable child. Like she has actual conversations with him. She validates his emotions. She gives him advice. Like she sees Andy as a human and I fucking love that. Yeah, she does treat him like a three-dimensional human being. Whereas everybody else treats them as. Just a child or just a broken child she actually, seems to see his humanity in a way that. the other folks in the movie don't really focus on. So I'm going to show that she has Andy hold her cigarette while she puts the clothes in the dryer, which I think is so funny. She was like, here, hold this. Yeah. And Andy takes a big old drag. What else is a kid going to do? You're handed a cigarette. Yeah. Come on. I mean, I, I took my first hit of a cigarette when I was like five. Yeah, I probably did too. Yeah. Just the curiosity cause you, you watch adults do it. And you know, Kyle, when she sees that Andy took the hit, she was like, you can't do that. It's bad for you and Andy. He's like, but adults do it right. You do. Or you do it. And what does she say? Adults can do things that are bad for them. sure. They certainly can. So which Andy responds. You're not an adult, which is so funny because I do, I see her as an adult. I know she's a teenager, but I see her as an adult. Yeah. When I was a kid and I watched it, I was like, oh, she's gotta be in her thirties. Kids can't judge age at all, you know? I thought she was a grownup. Yeah, me too. after Andy takes up smoking. He goes upstairs and we get another like piece of weird blocking where Joanne and Phil are talking shit about. Well, Phil's talking shit about Andy and Joanne is listening and kind of defending and Andy overhears, this he's like Pekin. Around the door, which is clearly in their line of sight. Right. It's another moment where they, the characters in the I don't turn around. They just don't see what's behind them. Yeah. The. Uh, as it happens to be. But Andy overhears, Phil, basically saying again that they are not equipped to handle Andy. That's a fun drinking game for this movie. All that's a good one. Yeah. Every time Phil says we're not equipped to handle this child, take a shot. Andy realizing that they view him this way. And after hearing Kyle say that. Foster homes hardly work out. He doesn't want to get thrown through this system. So he goes, and he grabs the good guy doll. Well, first, he goes up to him and says, I hate you, which I think is so funny. He walks up to the good guy dolls. I hate you. And then the doll says, hi, I'm. Tommy his little eyes go sideways while he tries to remember the name of the original doll that he murdered. It's so fucking funny. But I guess it worked because Andy ends up picking Chucky up and going into the kitchen and making a whole scene about how he's holding this good guy doll to Joanne and Phil he's already figured out how to manipulate the situation so that he doesn't get like in trouble or, or brought back to the, The home where the MME is the mat, the home where the Madam is. I told you, I told you that Andy was manipulative. He. He is a little manipulative. I just want to say, and just because I know this because I edited that goddamn footage. When I was talking about how little six year old Andy was making his mama breakfast in bed. To manipulate her into giving him the present. He's a manipulator. just because you feel bad for him doesn't mean he can't be a manipulator. Chugga, chugga. True, true. He ends up going out back with Kyle and. They have more sibling time and then Kyle takes a break and sits on the swing. And they get all playful. Yeah. Andy asks if she wants to push. And she says no, and he pushes her anyway and says something like too late or something. And she's pretending that she doesn't like it, but she's, she's. Enjoying it, you know, and as she's swinging on this swing, we're reminded that right underneath the swing is the body of Tommy. Good old doll corpse. That's right. And we get to zoom in on Chucky, looking down, like with panic in his plastic, little eyes. Just cause he's like, don't find the body yet, baby. And they get called in for dinner and they run in and, and Andy brings his doll so now it's nighttime and Andy is going to bed and Chucky's in his room. Joanne is sewing for Kyle, which this is I'm. I have complicated feelings about Joanne, me too. I really like her because she does stuff like this. Like she is making. Something for Kyle. And she doesn't have to. And she asks Phil, if they should get something for Andy to help him feel more settled in, and that motherfucker says a value. Oh, value them. Yeah. That's what's going to help Andy a value. Oh, but that's, that's what I like about Joanne, but it's also. I feel like Joanne. Is more in love with the fantasy of having children. Then the reality of having children and we'll kind of see how that plays out later. And Phil probably just shouldn't be around children. Honestly. He's a Dick. While this happens, Chucky. Ends up tying Andy up. And we don't see this. We suddenly cut to the bedroom and there is an eight year old boy tied spread Eagle to his little bed with, I think it's bunched up socks shoved in his mouth, like a little ball gag. And, I guess he didn't wake up during all of this. I mean, kids do sleep pretty heavy, maybe he did have a valley. Maybe. I mean, God, he's waking up, like he's at the Eagle. Yes. I see is some kinky shit. What a shock. Oh, my God. Yeah. It is jarring it's. Can you imagine how terrifying it would be? To wake up in that situation with, with a maniacal doll. It would be. Pretty pretty upsetting. And so this is where Chucky's just like, Hey, Andy. Right. We, you know, Chuck, he comes out, he comes out of the. Toy chest as Chucky instead of Tommy. and so he's just like, alright, it's time for me to put my soul in your body. And we get the first attempt at our famous incantation. Uh, day do a dumb. Give me the power I beg of you. And of course he's interrupted. As, as always. This time by Kyle climbing in from her date. She went on her date anyway, even though she was grounded. She climbs in through Andy's window, which I find interesting. It is. It is interesting. And so when she climbs in Chucky freezes back up, And she sees Andy tied to the bed and obviously she's confused. Yes. Yes. Which is a good reaction. But she, doesn't understand how it happened. which is a valid. Concern. I think she thinks that he did it to himself. I think she does. Yeah. And she goes to untie him. And it's so funny because as soon as he's on tide, he just wails on talking, just punches him right off the bed. He he's had enough. Yeah. And he's screaming, he's screaming. And of course, Phil comes in. And he's just like, what the fuck is going on here? He thinks that Kyle tied Andy to the bed because she wanted to go out on her date. And she thought that Andy would tell on her and like all this stuff. I know. Feels kind of making up a situation there, you know? Yeah. The whole time. and he's just like, no Chucky did it. Chucky did it. Chucky did it. And it feels like, you know what? Fuck it. And he grabs Chucky and he takes him down stairs and he throws Chucky into the basements. Literally throws him down the basement stairs. We got the shot of Chucky, just basking in the Moonlight. And he sits up and, oh, he's fucking bleeding. He's bleeding already. Um, so he realizes he has such a limited time. To go through with this because he's about to fully become human. And in doll form. Dahl human Dal human. The next morning. Again, it's, there's just something about. The halfway. Next morning in these movies where they pretend like nothing happened the night before. That's right. They do do that. Cause last movie, Marty, Mara Shino. Reno. Died. And. Karen takes Andy to school. Like no problem, like nothing ever happened in this time, Andy woke up tied to his bed. There was this whole kerfuffle with Phil and they're just going to school. Time to go to school. Yeah, nothing happened the night before. If you deny it, it didn't occur. Um, typical suburban family. Andy of course is frustrated because nobody believes him he's back in this situation where the adults in his life. Do you not believe him at this point? Not even Kyle. Right. You know, and you know, I think Kyle is skeptical, but she's just like, how did you do that? How did you tie yourself to the bed? Is impossible. It would have been impossible for this boy to do it. I'm sure there are people out there who are like, that's not impossible. But for him, yes, it would have been impossible for an eight year old. Absolutely. And so Chucky gets on the bus. It's his first day of school and he immediately starts getting bullied. Yes, the moment he gets on this fucking bus. Like someone like slaps him or throw something at him. And as the bus drives away. We get this fun, little shot of Chucky's feet dangling from underneath the bus. Just kick it again. That's one of my favorite Chucky mechanics, when they try to show that this isn't just like a still doll that we threw on set. This is a living thing. The feet always kick. Always kick. So do mine. Barely. I barely ever touched the floor with my feet. So they're constantly kicking. It was like, dude. And every time I do it now, I think a Truckee. As you should. Yeah. Chucky is the original short king. That's right. He really is. So, um, you know, we, we see, uh, Andy getting bullied on the bus and then of course he's gonna have to go to school and deal with the same bullies. So he ends up in a class being taught by what is the teacher's name? Mrs. Kettlewell Kettlewell that's right. And I like this actress. because as soon as I see her, I think of to Wong foo, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar, because she played Loretta in that, But she just looks exactly the same. She's one of those character actors that when you see her, you're like, oh, that lady. Ironically whose name? I don't remember. I don't either. But she's great. She's lovely. Except she's not lovely because, she and Andy have a little, as you said before, kerfuffle. One of the bullies flicked Andy's ear, and Andy stood up for himself as you do, as you should, as you should. And Ms. Kettlewell walks on up and she starts giving Andy a hard time saying that his main. Concern should be getting on her good side. Good. Fuck you dollar store Nancy Reagan. Yes Right. She has that pin on just say no, just say no, I'm going to say no to your no. I'm going to raise, your no and give you a fuck. No. Well, DARE was a huge thing. You know, dare, dare to keep kids off drugs. DARE to keep off drugs. DARE to just say no. Was that a thing? Oh, dear, to keep off drugs. oh my goodness to let our minds and bodies grow. Wanna try some crack? No way. Jack PCP will thrill. yah Nah, that stuff'll kill yah Are you serious? I was. Indoctrinated oh my goodness. I've never heard that before. Yeah. We sang it as a choir in fifth grade wanna try some crack. Y'all sang wanna try some crack as a choir, the fifth grade? Yeah. That's probably the, that's the pinnacle of my music career actually. My goodness. PCP I'll kill. Ya know, that's the full. LPC deal thrill. Yeah. Yes. PCP will thrill ya. Nah, that stuff will kill you. Well, I'm gonna have to, learn this little Diddy. Yeah, I'll send you the YouTube link, please do you can turn it into a number. Oh, my God. It will be amazing. Common. If you want us to do a dare theme song. Number. That would be so fucking funny. I used to have the shirt. Yeah. I used to be the president of the drug prevention club in high school. Oh. And I quit after two weeks to go smoke pot with the rest of the theater kids. So it didn't work. That song didn't help. Not at all. and neither does the just say no button. No, no, it doesn't. Yeah. So while they're in recess, Chucky is like digging through the papers. Right, right. And he finds Andy's paper. And decides to add a little treat to it. A little extra something, something. In a red cran, of course. Yeah. It says, fuck you, bitch. Which is hysterically funny to me. It's another one of those moments where you're like, is this supposed to be funny? Is this campy. I mean, it feels campy. so when Mrs. Kettlewell sees this, obviously, She's livid and she blames, Andy for it. And Andy. It's like I did not do this. But, you know, no, not all of the adults are failing, Andy. So nobody takes him seriously. Nobody actually listens to him. Nope. And Andy realizes that Chucky is in the toy box of this classroom. And Ms. Kettlewell is just like, no, no toys, no Chile. She grabs Chucky and locks Chucky in the closet. And then she. Shoves Andy's face into the desk. Kesher does. And she's like, you are going to stay here and she locks them into that room. Totally safe and legal. Yeah. Safe and legal as if they're, you know, if there was a fire. It's fine. Sorry, buddy. She leaves and then Chucky is in the closet and he's like, Andy, I promise I won't kill anybody again. Let me out of here. You fucking Dick. Like, it's so funny. The things that he says to that kid. Are shocking. You know, to, to here. lines of dialogue, like that'd be directed at a child, it was like, whoa, very jarring. Yeah. It's so funny because I'm so used to Chucky as a character. Now that that just seems like normal. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to see that for the first time, not having this culture of Chucky being, uh, a foul mouth, little. It and, and, you know, the not only is this. The cute doll at saying these things, but when it's directed toward Andy, you know, I'm sure it was, adults were like, oh, Oh, this makes me feel uncomfortable. Yeah. Good job. To on that's right. It's why you're so hot. Yes. But Andy. It doesn't fall for these, these guys's in these tricks that Chucky is throwing his way and he climbs out of the window. Just in time for Ms. Kettlewell to come back into the classroom and realize he's not there anymore. And she of course thinks that he's now in the closet. He's not in the closet. Another impossible thing. She locked the closet. Right. How would he have gotten into the closet? Yeah, I don't know, but you know, we're the suspension of disbelief. Well, here we are watching a killer doll and we seem to be okay with that. Yeah, that's great. So, I guess, you know, she thinks. That he's in the closet and isn't Chucky, like shaking the doorknob. So of course, you know, she doesn't think it's the doll. She thinks it's the kid. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. It's so funny. She has the key to the closet and she's like, Andy opened this door right now. And she was like, she's like knocking on it and like trying to open it. She's like open the door right now. It's like, bitch, you have the key. Yeah. Okay, Ms. Kettlewell probably needed to retire a couple of years ago. Yeah. She should not be a teacher. But she ends up coming to and realizing that she has the keys to the store. She ends up going inside and she realizes Andy isn't there. But who is there? Chuck. Yeah, baby. This is one of those kills. That's also like in my core memories of Chucky. Isn't really Yeah, I just thought it was pretty cool. it's scary. The, the shots that we get in this sequence are. Such a wonderful showcase of the puppetry and the artistry for Chucky. And they focused on that so much in this scene. That they fell behind and they had to do some rewrites. That's really cool, which is why the actress that played Joanne. I was so upset about this movie because the scenes that we lost were her scenes scenes that to her really informed her character. And I think that that is what pissed her off to the point where she's like, this is the worst movie I've ever worked on. But honestly, it's kind of worth it. Cause chalky looks so fucking cool here. Pretty looks so fucking sick. Cause what he does is he takes a bike pump to that. I'm gonna say bitches, that's gonna ruin. That's very rude. He takes a bike pump to. Homicide Nancy Reagan. He takes a bike pump to Ms. Kettlewell's chest. And knocks her back. And she's on the ground looking into the closet and Chucky's marching out of this closet with a fucking yard stick. And that does you just the way you moved your shoulders? Yeah, it looks like when he's coming out of the club. It's so bad. And he's like, you've been very naughty mist, Kettlewell smack, and it's literally burned in my brain. I see that. And he ends up beating her to death with the yard stick, which. Painful, definitely painful and probably a long death since it's not like it's a yardstick as a particularly heavy. You know, so that must have taken awhile. Yeah. So much so that like, as they're wrapping up the scene, we just get zoom out further and further and further until we're on the other side of the fence. And you still see that stick going up and down. Honestly. Ms. Kettlewell's a real bitch who got what she deserved. Where you go. That's exactly it. Not aunt Maggie. No, no. And Maggie didn't deserve to fall out of a window. No, but Ms. Kettlewell just say no. Just say no, just say no. So post Kettlewell death, we're back at the foster home. And Andy runs in and apparently Ms. Kettlewell called Joanne and Phil to let them know that he wrote some obscenities. On his homework. Fuck you bitch. This is, this is impressive because. Phil takes Andy to the basement to show him that Chucky is still there. And Chucky is actually still there. So. I don't know how the hell Chucky managed to beat someone to death with a yardstick and with his little Chucky legs got home first got home before Andy, like, did Andy stop for ice cream on the way? Like what happened? It's entirely possible. I mean, Kids get distracted easily. And I love the fact that not only did he beat him home, but he was, he had the wherewithal to be like, I should go lay down on the basement. Yeah. I'm going to go right back to where they left me. See, Chucky is smart. Y'all Chucky is. So fucking smart. Yeah, it feels just like, yeah, Chucky's there, you're a menace to this household basically. And then he and Joanne get into a big argument while Andy and Kyle listened from the other room. And this is kind of sad, right? This is where we learn that. Phil views. These kids that they're taking care of is taking care of other people's kids. And, that they've been on a list for adoption for quite some time. And I think they get bypassed or something. I wonder why. Right. It's probably because somebody met Phil and, we do learn that, Joanne is in Cape, I guess, maybe in capable of having children. I mean, it's not ever really stated or specifically, right. That's probably the scene that we lost. If I'm being honest. That would make sense. Makes sense for that to go. But, yeah, it's just, it is implied that Joanne is incapable of bearing children. Especially with their dynamic. It doesn't seem like it has anything to do with Phil. Right. You. And Phil is just clocking her Joanne's obsession with wanting to have children. And it's just, it's, it's an ugly fight, unfortunately. And the whole, when he said that, The taking care of other people's kids thing. I was like, Ooh, gosh, that's just not a. Uh, view that I would want to foster parent to have, you know, you want to take this child in and it be the kid kind of be, I don't want to say becomes your own, but it's becomes family. Yeah. That's how I feel about children, but it becomes family. And he's obviously viewing it as this is still somebody else's kid that, now we got to take care of it. It becomes family. It does. That's so funny. I, you know, I don't want to gender it and see it. I don't know. I don't want to say. I don't know, it's just there. It's there. Little tiny. There's a little it's unless otherwise implied. And while this is happening, Kyle is trying to comfort Andy, by saying basically the only person you can count on is yourself. Which I get where she's coming from. Oh, for sure we, we know that that's how she feels about her life so she's imparting that wisdom on to eight year old Andy. So Andy though is just like, it doesn't matter everywhere I go, Chucky's going to find me. And so that night, Andy, oh, God, I love this little child decides to take matters into his own hands. It goes in the kitchen and grabs a fucking Turkey, Carver. Oh, one of those like black and Decker's, you know, again, one of those things that was really popular in, in 1990 and, they just have it in it's a little like charging station or holding station on the counter, on the kitchen counter. I've got an eight year old child there. Why not just leave it out. Yeah. We used to call it a black and Decker, Becker wrecker. Wow. Yup. And Andy's about to go wreck a pecker. Chucky's. That's right. That's his plan. Andy goes into the basement to find Chucky and, it looks like he's learned how to handle sharp objects better than he did last movie. Yes. Cause he only trips over stuff like a couple of times. This is coordination as he grows up is getting a little bit better. Yeah. And my favorite thing that he does, he opens up the dryer and there's like a pile of laundry in there and he just takes the Turkey Carver and just like jams it into the clothes in the dryer. I thought. I'm not taking any class, any, any chances? So while Andy is searching, Chucky just drops down from the ceiling. And just like starts attacking him. Andy takes the Turkey Carver and gets Chucky writing this fuck ass, Bob. Yes, right. and all, while this is happening, Phil is upstairs and he overhears this kerfuffle. Here's the kerfuffle, the kerfuffle. I don't think I've ever said that word before and now I've sent it twice. Yeah. It's going to be that's the word of the episode? No. Ooh, we should have a word of the episode. That's a good idea. And then every time we say it, it could be on the bottom of the screen. Kerfuffle. Can you spell kerfuffle, use it in sentence. The origin, please. Oh gosh. What is the origin of kerfuffle? That's a good, I don't know. White people. Yeah. Same thing. Yeah. So. While this kerfuffle is happening. Phil goes downstairs and he sees Andy standing there with the Turkey, Carver, and then he is scared because we already know how Phil feels about Andy at this point. He obviously thinks he's a menace. And now the menace is armed. And so he slowly starts walking down the stairs, creaky wooden stairs. You wouldn't stairs. And we see Chucky grab this. Hook, right. It's like a hook. I don't know why they have it, like a whole kind of pole. It's like one of those things that you would use when, like you go to the bodega and you have to get the toilet paper from like the top shelf. And you just grab it and you like a handle, like it's one of those things. But metal. Yeah, it looks like to me, I was like, what? Like fishing boat. Did they get that off of, yeah, I don't know. Well, whatever it is, it's perfect for killing. Oh, that's a good killing me. I could kill and weapon. Yeah. Cause Chucky goes from behind the stairs and hooks it around Phil's ankle. And that sends Phil tumbling over. The stair rail. And for a moment he's just hanging there upside down. And then finally he's like face-to-face with Chucky. Right. He has a moment where he actually gets to see that Chucky is a real. He's the real menace. It's not Andy. Nope. And this is where we get. One of the one-liners that really solidifies Chucky as Chucky's. Uh, silly little goose. His comedy career. As Phil's hanging and he realizes, Everything that he did that led them to this point. Chucky's just like. How's it hanging Phil. How's it hang and fill, and then he drops his ass and boom. It breaks his neck breaks his neck. Yeah. I see. It's a, it's a good death. It's a cool kill. But it was, I still just wanted more from both of these. I see both sides on one hand. I think Phil, I would have loved to have seen Phil have a more elaborate. Gnarly deserved. Yeah, however, I think. They're still needed to be some ambiguity. On Joanne's side as to whether or not Phil was like murdered. Cause it seems like it was an accident. It doesn't seem like Phil was murdered. Right. So if, if Phil had had some sort of gnarly death, Then we wouldn't have this moment where Joanne runs downstairs and just basically says, fuck you to Andy. And Joanne gets very preoccupied with her dead husband. Yeah. She's like, it's so interesting to see how she went from this loving attentive. Person that wants to be a mother to just being like, get away from me to this child. And I've always wondered if that was because she thought that perhaps he had something to do with Phil's death. I mean. I guess so, but it's, she might've just like blamed him for the fact that Phil went down there and fell and fell down. Right. So he actively killed Phil. But yeah, this wouldn't have happened if you weren't here. Exactly. And that's very much, I think what leads to her turning cause it's pretty nasty. It sucks. Cause she's just like get away from me. Get away from me. And immediately grace pool. Is there the worst foster Madam ever? And she's taking Andy back to the foster home. Because Joanne just wants nothing to do with this child anymore. Returns and exchanges accepted. And before leaving Andy turns to Kyle and he's just like, be careful. Chucky's still out there. And he goes back to the foster system. Just like that, and Kyle is outside on the swing set. Having a little cigarette. Being pensive. And cool and so cool. Really cool. And on her way out there, she threw Chucky in the trash. Right, right. She. She at least wanted to get rid of Chucky. I think she's the first person in the Chucky franchise to throw talking in the trash. Yeah. Yes, she is. I'm pretty sure she has. Yeah. Um, which shows she has a brain, right. Right. Whether or not she believes Andy, she's not taking any chances. Yeah. She was like, just get rid of this fucking doll. And while she's having her cigarette being. Oh, so cool. On the swing set. She unearths the carcass of Tommy. Uh, the body of Tommy has been found. And so she realizes FAC FAC. Fuck. And he was right. And she runs over to the garbage can and she opens it up and. Ooh. What a surprise, Chuck. He's not there. So she immediately goes to Joanne. And she grabs a little pocket knife to protect herself. And as she's going to check on Joanne, we hear the sound design here is great. We hear the sewing machine, just like chicken, chicken, chicken. Whatever, whatever sounds sewing machines make. Yeah. And, as she goes to check on Joanne, she turns the body around and Joanne is dead. Um, gagged and bound and the little strip of catch up across her neck. She does have a little strip of catch-up on her neck. So we don't actually see this death, but we know that Chucky's responsible for it. I actually, this is the second special effects that I don't like in this movie. There's only two. The first. Electrocuted guy. And then this. About this don't you like? It's literally just a smear of right across her throat. And she's also pale. Right, right. How long has she been dead? Exactly. And if she was bled out so much that she was as pale as she was, when there'd be more blood is literally just like a boop. Yeah. It's like the kind of like throat slit that you would do if you were like five years old playing with your siblings. And you grabbed the ketchup packet and you were just like, oh, What a five-year-old. Yeah. I didn't do that when you were fighting. You know, maybe seven. Okay. Yeah. Some of us mature faster than others. So, yeah, Joanne's dead. And we get one of my favorite things in a horror movie, which is when the killer is hiding in a room. And they were hiding in a way where it's like, they very intentionally. Picked something up and draped it over them. Or they very intentionally like set up this scene because Chucky comes up on from underneath the bed sheet. And all I can think of when I see this happen is like the moments before the protagonist enters the room and the killers just like running to their hiding spot. Like. T it was like, that's what my brain does when like it, same thing with fucking, um, I know what you did last summer when the fishermen like is with the mannequins and he's on the plastic, I'm just like, That motherfucker is a grown ass man. And he draped himself in plastic. Just for funsies. For funsies. It's so fun. That is fun. I just really thought about it like that before. Yeah. Just those moments before. it's hilarious. And that's what Chucky did. Chucky's hiding under the sheet and he rises up behind Kyle and they get into a little fight. And I think both of us enjoy watching actors fight with inanimate objects. Especially when it's a little feeder kicking on the back. Just to show us that it's alive. So it's not just, you know, being tossed around like this little ragdoll, you know, and it's not like the first one where it was like a hand puppet. It's like attacking yourself with your own hands. eventually Chucky does get the upper hand. And hijacks Kyle and the vehicle, I guess, Chucky can't drive in this one. I guess. He does drive eventually there are, there are driving. Yeah. Where somebody is working the pedals and somebody else's steering. Yeah. Oh, I guess he doesn't have people. Just him. Just him. So he needs somebody to drive. So he kidnaps Kyle. And it's trying to go to the foster home to get Andy. But Kyle gets pulled over. Kyle gets pulled over, the cop turns on the lights behind. Kyle and Chucky says florid and Kyle says, get real. It's a station wagon, which is like quintessential eighties, nineties, like teen humor. Where it's like, this is a functional car for families. This is not a cool car that can like go fast. Right? What are you going to do? You're going to outrun the cop and you're a little station wagon. No, no. So Chucky's just like fine. Pull over. And so the cop comes in. And asks for a license and registration. And immediately loses his shit over this fucking doll. What a loser. Yeah. You know, It brought him back to his childhood. Yeah. He's like, Hey, is that one of those good guy dolls? What's your name? And. Chucky just turns his head and he's just like Chucky. It doesn't even, it doesn't even put on the good guy facade anymore. And then Chucky starts bleeding. He gets a nose bleed. Yeah. And the cop was just like, what's that? And we get this little reference to the original child's play script. Where Kyle is like you heard of a doll that can pee. This one can bleed, which if you listened to our last episode, the original child's play was all about a blood buddy doll that actually bled to teach children like responsibility, how to take care of something. And I think that's just one of the many ways, and we'll see this as we progress to the franchise. But Don Mancini just like, he loves to recycle. So, Hm. Take a shot take. He loves to recycle. Cause he, if there's any ideas that he wanted to use, that he could not use due to whatever kind of constraints he will bring them back when he can later. Right. And that is the kind of thing that makes him so. Uh, attractive to me. He remembers things. He remembers things. That's all I need. Somebody who remembers things. So. The cop ends up letting them go and. He tells Kyle to buckle up, which to me is obviously a foreshadowing kind of thing. Oh yeah. Yeah. They mentioned that for a reason. Yeah. Because while they're driving, Kyle's just fed up with Chucky's SAS. Cause he's still workshopping stuff. Right. He's not, he's not super funny yet. and she just slams on her brakes and Chucky just flies out the window, just. Yeah, that. That's what Chuck he does. And so she has put on her, seatbelt and, now Chucky's not in the car anymore. No, he's fucking feral. Oh, yeah, we get feral checking. My favorite thing is feral. Chucky. I fucking love Harold Chucky. He jumps up and she goes to. I hit him and he jumps out of the way. And she crashes into the gate. Gets out of the car and realizes, oh shit. The foster homes, like right there. Of course, of course. Right in front of the foster home and Chucky, for some reason, ends up hijacking her again. I don't know why he doesn't just kill her at this point because they're already there. Right. He doesn't really need her anymore, but he, for some reason he doesn't kill her, maybe. Maybe he thinks he needs her. It's probably cause he just, he knows that she's just so cool. That's right. He doesn't want to kill the cool girl. So instead he hijacks his cool girl. And which means he's like hanging on her back with a little knife to her throat, to the NAPE of the neck. Yeah. And they pull the fire alarm. At the foster home and everybody evacuated except for Andy and grace pool. And. Andy knows what's going on. But grace doesn't. grace sees Kyle and instantly thinks that Kyle's the one that pulled this alarm because Kyle is a bad kid, a bad kid. So the Madam takes. Kyle and Andy and Chucky. Checking into her office to scold them. I don't know. There's a fire alarm going off. Right. They should all be evacuating the building. Yeah. Even if you don't think that it's a real fire alarm bitch, you're going to get fined. If the fire department gets there. And you have two children locked in your office with you. Come on. This. This whole movie is a safety violation. It absolutely is, but it is true to the time. Fair you. It was very accurate. So this lack of safety, concern, bites grace in the ass because she goes to grab Chucky and Chucky doesn't waste any time. He immediately just jumps to life and just like, boom, stabs her in the chest. Yeah. And she falls face first into a copy machine. Yes. Yes. Copy machines again were all the rage. And we get this great. effect of her slowly dying while the copy machine starts, you know, photographing what's happening to her. So all these papers are coming out of the machine and we see her face, you know, she's pressed up against them. The glass and, it's a C this death I think is cool. I was going to ask how you felt about. Yeah, I like this. It's creative. It's clever. And, it's invasive. If for some reason I'm like sad people. You know, don't just suffocate or, you know, trip and fall. I wanna, I wanna see Chucky actively, killing someone, which I guess he does with a yard stick, but we don't really see it. That's true. Yeah. I love a creative kill. Yeah, for sure. That's my thing. I'm like Tiffany and bride of Chucky. We'll talk about that. When we get there. So, yeah, she does die in my head. Like as she's we can't hear it because she's screaming and dying, but all I can hear is. As she's like sliding off of that surface. Rest and peace grace pool. That's right. You did not do your job well. Not well at all. So after this happens, Kyle tries to drag Andy out of the office, but Chucky slams the door between them and he ends up taking Andy. Out the window and into the back of a newspaper truck, newspaper truck. Yeah, and this one's like full of shit too. And Kyle realizes this and pursues in the station wagon, which luckily wasn't damaged in the crash. Yeah, not at all. So the entire time they're driving Chucky has Andy just lying flat on his back in the back of this truck. And he's like trying to do his Tombola while Kyle is just honking like a maniac. And Chucky just looks up and flips her off with this tiny little, tiny little finger. And Kyle just like, fuck it. And she drives around and she cuts off this newspaper truck. So dangerously. It's very dangerous. And the truck does stop and the driver is furious. So aggressive. I have a problem with this. We talked about this last time. We both feel the same way about this. This driver is so aggressive with her and it's like, I get it right. She. Cut you off. And that is a dangerous thing to do. But why would you. Make the creative decision. To cast. The only black man in your movie as this nameless aggressive person. He's might be the only person of color in the entire movie. well there might be children in the, in the home, but, certainly the only speaking character. And, it's. An angry black man. And it just kind of like, Ooh, It's not cute. No, it's not a good luck. No. But Kyle gets away. And she, where are they? Where are they? This is the best fucking set piece for a finale. That we could have asked for. Fun. I did. Oh, I love it. That was an accident, but thank you for making it sound like. Intentionally. Yeah for a finale. Uh, they're at the good guy factory, baby. Yeah. Yes. So Chucky and Andy are running to the good guy factory and the gate is closing and Kyle's trying to catch up to him and she does the super bad-ass cool girl roll under Indiana Jones moment. And she mixes it under the gate. before it closes and now they're locked into what most certainly is the biggest OSHA violation. There could be. Now, this is one of those. Moments in this movie where I was like, okay, What on earth is happening here? What is this movie? What does it want to be? And it's the moment in the movie that you love the most. It this, this whole third act. It's so great. And, you know what I think my feelings towards this movie are probably based exclusively on the third act. Really. I can understand what you mean, where it feels that there's some sort of disjointed situation between this suburban. Shitty adults metropolis. And this primary color. toy land. But it's just so good. This. It is fun. This final act is amazing because the first thing we see is a maze of good guy, doll boxes. Like we're talking hundreds like this must, they might, they have to be gearing up for black Friday. That's right. There's so many fucking good guy dolls here. And so Chucky knocks Andy out. And starts to do, starts to do his thing He finishes the whole thing. This is one of the few times. One of the few times Chucky successfully. Recites the incantation. But alas. It's too late. it's too late. Chucky has been in that doll body for too long, and now he is forever a doll. That's right. And he bellows to the heavens. And from this point through the end of the movie, Chucky is fucking feral. He is absolutely livid. He has nothing to fucking lose. This is my favorite version of Chucky. I love it when Chucky loses his fucking mind. Is this like your favorite feral, Chucky? Are there other movies that have feral Chucky moments in them? This is the most feral Chucky. Yeah. Yeah. I, this is so that's probably, this is my favorite feral Chucky. Favorite feral, Chucky. Say that to me. Yeah. French has Friday. Favorite Pharaoh, Chucky. So what ends up happening is Kyle drops a bunch of these good guy boxes onto Chucky. and he's just like, what the hell? It's great. And when he jumps up, he's like, he's screaming, he's Farrell. And he just like his hair's like. It's a wild it's so fucking good. And Andy and, Kyle get reunited and they are now in the conveyor belt area of the factory. This scene reminds me of the opening scene of Pee-wee's big adventure. I don't know if you're familiar with it. I hadn't seen in a long time. You know, it's, He, he like wakes up in the morning. And everything happens automatically. Like it's like kind of a conveyor belt. His breakfast gets made like, it's this really cute, but it was such a it's very tropey to the time. And yeah. Now we're in this like almost like a carnival world. Of, how this doll gets made. And it just reminds me of, what's the name of the guy who did beetle juice and Tim Burton. Thank you. I was like Tim Robbins. No, not him. Tim Burton did Pee-wee's big adventure. I believe. And, that's kinda what this feels like. It, it, it gives me that like, oh, somebody really weird made this, Which is why I love it. Absolutely. But I see your point. Yeah. I don't dislike it. It's just like, what, what are we doing? Okay. It's very bold. Like they, they committed. Because it is like, The logistics of this factory don't make sense. It's all style. No substance. Yes. Proven by the fact that there's literally no way out of where they are currently at. Beyond going up the conveyor belt slide right into the other part of the factory, which is clearly how the workers get in and out every day. Absolutely. Can you imagine clocking in for your shift and just sliding down? Like. Willy Wonka, Charlie and the chocolate factory feel to it. That's fair. That's totally fair. Like. People probably die there every day, but it's kind of fun. Five deaths a day. Yes. It has been zero days since there have been deaths at this company. Exactly. Especially after this. Kyle and Andy climb up this conveyor belt, but Andy slips. And he's sliding down. And of course, Chucky pops up at the bottom of this slide. Andy catches himself and he starts climbing back up and we get this great moment of tension where Chucky has this knife and he's like, Climbing after Andy and just like, as Andy moves his foot Chucky stabs down where it used to be. It's really fun. And they end up closing this great or the gate on Chucky's hands. And it's just, it's so gross. Chucky ends up. It's like 127 hours. Right. He rips his fucking hand off. Because he's human now. So it's not just like cutting off a doll's hand. Yeah. And that's putting off a little. Tiny human doll hand, it kind of looks like Twizzlers. And like, Hawaiian punch. It probably is. It's nasty. so yeah, he ends up his, he rips his own hand off and he, Takes the knife and he shoves it in his little stump and duct tapes. It says. I mean, who wouldn't think about that? I mean, it's, it's like Ash in the evil day. Absolutely. Lose a limb. Replace it with a weapon. You'll never be sorry. Uh, cherry darling and planet terror. And stripper with a machine gun leg. Come on. Well, this is happening. Andy and Kyle are still trying to find their way out. Of this fucking factory. And again, the only exit door that they see is on the other side of a piece of machinery that installs the eyeballs into the dolls. Yeah, very, very safe. Yeah. The biggest OSHA violation in Chicago, a thousand percent. And so they end up having to climb through a narrowly missing, getting eyeballs inserted into whatever part of their body. And the doors fucking locked. So it was all for not all for not. we see the worker, is this when we see the worker? Yeah, because they ended up causing a doll pile up. Right. Because they, they ruined the, they mess up the conveyor belt, traffic jam. So instead of the dolls being moved through with this conveyor belt, now we've got a whole bunch of dolls that are stuck. So obviously the only worker in the building, um, cause the rest of them died. Yes. They're all dead. It's only the one guy. They have a huge turnover rate. it goes to see what's going on. Yeah, he does. And he goes to, I guess the only way he can fix it. It's to lay down inside of the machine. Right. And that's how he's going to fix it. Yes, but alas, as he sits up. Chucky slashes him across the cheek with his stump knife. I stumped knife and homeboy falls back onto the conveyor belt and he gets a new pair of eyes. Yeah. That's a good way of putting it, which you know, is, the throwback to the beginning of the movie where we see Chucky. Trying to get his, his new eyes. And now we're watching the same thing again. Yep. Except this one's not as successful. No, no. Nationally. Not, not as good, but, but pretty cool. Yeah. I was going to ask, does this death live up to your standards? Does yes. It's a good one. This is a good one. So homeboy dies. And Andy and Kyle and up seeing. Another weird part of this conveyor belt. Where it's it's like, a pyramid and the apex, right? You have a conveyor belt going up and the conveyor belt going down and there's this chamber at the top that I could only describe as like a death chamber death chamber is a good way of putting it. It has all of these mechanical arms that like insert doll parts and stuff, and we discover. Through an accident. That it just creates a mess of whatever goes in there. Cause Andy accidentally reverses the fucking what's it called? Conveyor belt conveyor belt. And after we make this discovery. We get Chucky just conveniently planted himself on one of the doll stands. And the conveyor belt. Another one of those things. That's just funny. It's just like Chucky, like running up, just like, Hey. And just like standing there, like a mannequin. But he ends up coming along the conveyor belt behind Andy. And immediately. I don't know how this happened, but the machine that staples the hair into the head of the doll just starts going for Chucky's junk. And it's staples him too. The platform that he's standing on. And with this new information that we learned about the death chamber, right? Andy reverses the machine. And as Chucky is going up, what does Kyle do? Oh, yeah, that's right. I was like lights, a cigarette. She gives Chucky the bird. Burt and a callback to when Chucky flipped her off. Yeah. And so they're watching Chucky head up to the death chamber. Once the doors close, all we see are just like these arms going in the mechanical arm things and Brad Dorf. Man. Just screaming, bloody murder. Again. I see him in a studio just yelling his head off. It's so good. So they reverse it. Right. Cause you got to think about the fact that Chucky can feel it now. That's true. That's true. You can feel that pain. which is why he's screaming bloody murder. And we end up seeing the aftermath and it's really nasty. Like it's just a bunch of melted plastic and arms and just like bloody legs, just all in like this. Pile. Like a Chucky pile. Yeah. Like a Chucky pile. You exactly a chunk of bloody Chucky chunk, a bloody. That sounds like a song. I'm going to write a song called chunk of bloody Chucky. That's going to be how much I loved on Nancy. Yeah, obviously. It's a, it'll be a ballad. the ballot of chunk of bloody Chucky. Uh, Uh, The Jeff chamber in my heart. I love it. It's already getting written. It writes itself. So we see the chunk of bloody Chucky and Kyle and Andy thinks that they're done, obviously. Yeah. They start doing what would normally be like en sequence dialogue, just like, oh, thanks for coming to get me. Are you okay? What's that? And it's a horror movie. It is a horror movie. Removing removing, and we discover a pool of blood. At the base of the death chamber. With a streak going across the floor. So you know what that means. It's not over yet. We've only had one death. I don't know how Chucky managed to do this. But homeboy that died in the eyeball machine. Got strung up by his feet. And he was laid out like a prop out of fucking haunted house. Right. And it's like Kyle and Andy made it past the trigger point and then it swings down and knocks Kyle out. Yeah. It's a violent, dead body. Very violent. Kyle gets knocked out and she's on the conveyor belt. That's leading up to the death chamber. It's Kyle stern. Meanwhile, Chucky. Is now very actively pursuing Andy he's on, uh, a wheelie cart, right? And he's like using one arm, his one good arm to like scooch himself towards Andy. He's like, when I catch you, I'm going to cut your legs off to. Such an empty threat. Like, as he's reeling towards you, you could just keep taking steps backward. Yeah. And what ends up happening? Final OSHA violation. There's this huge VAT of melted plastic that just dripping all over the place. So safe and there's a release valve that releases directly. Into the open floor of this factory. Yeah. You, you need that. You gotta have that. I mean, it's convenient right now because Andy fucking, the pops that sucker open and Chucky gets co it's like a boot cocky, just coded, covered. Yep. No loads refused. I mean, that's not how I would've put it, but you're exactly correct. Thank you. I know. So Chucky is perceivably dead. And then, uh, another melted chunk of Chucky. Melted chunky. Chunky. Yeah. And now it's time for Andy to save Kyle because Kyle is still heading up to the death chamber and just in the Nick of time, of course, of course we can't kill. Uh, sibling. No, no. And Kyle is a final girl. Like you could tell the second you meet her, you know, she's so cool. Yeah. Plus you don't kill children in the eighties? No, you really don't. Unless it's like pet cemetery. Right, which is the whole. Right. Yeah. The whole point. And you're also bringing them back to life. You know, in pet cemetery. So it's like, you're kind of allowed to kill it. But see, I said it is, yeah. All the it's. Yeah. Speaking of Stephen King, it. Yeah, right. Where do any of those children die? Um, not as children, but. But, uh, well, It's easy for you to say it depends on which version if you watch the, mini series from the nineties. I don't think, I think maybe like one kid died. I mean, Georgia dies. Right. But in the one that came out a few years ago, He does die. He gets his head cut off. Yeah. But that's also. The arts or not the arts, that's the teens. Right. So different time. Anyway, Kyle is saved. That's right back to the movie. Back to the movie, Kyle is she finds salvation. Through Andy and. She's checking out this just pile of goop and she's like good job, Andy. Right? But of course, Chucky has one final art to give and he jumps up and starts attacking Kyle looking like a fucking peanut butter monster. He reminds me of pizza hut from, It's baseball. So, yep. I can see that he looks to me like a garbage pail kid. Ah, yes, a garbage pail kids. Yes, garbage pail. Kids are fucking sick. Y'all yeah. If you don't know what that is, Google it. Yes. Melton Melissa telephone, Tony. Uh, flame. Flame and James. That sounds right. Leaky Lindsey. I remember the visuals. I don't remember any of their names. There's so many good ones out there. and that's what chalky looks like. Yes. Chunka Chucky. That's. Jackie. This is his garbage pail kids name. so he's attacking Kyle and as it turns out, this is what happens to be a conveniently placed air pressure tube, right there. Emitting air pressure, right. Kyle. Shoves it into Chucky's mouth and his head starts to inflate like a balloon. Yeah. Bigger and bigger. He kind of looks like a Lemonhead. Lemonhead or Stewie from family guy. Who also looks like a limit head. Yes. Yes. Yes. And his head gets bigger and bigger and you see the panic on his face. It's kind of funny. The look of concern that the artists put on Chucky's face when they were making balloon Chucky. I'm very effective. He blows the fuck up. Yes, he does. It's a big old explosion. And. He ends up. His head's gone, but his body. Ends up kind of freezing in the good guy pose where it has like the one hand up. Like he's waving. And, that's the end of the movie. Uh, pretty much. Yeah, that's it. Kyle and Andy walk out of the factory because the gate somehow goes up, magically opens. Yeah. And there they have nowhere to go. And it's like a drone shot, but I don't know if it was a drone or a helicopter. And, you know, we see it from above as they're walking away and they have this little bit of dialogue. about what are they going to do now? And what does Kyle say to that? We're going to go home. Where's home. Andy. I have no idea. Actually kind of sad. It is sad. When you think about it, they have nowhere to fucking go and you know, they're going to probably get separated. You know, wherever they do end up and, and it is sad. When I initially watched it a couple of weeks ago, when I knew we were going to do this. I was like, they didn't write an ending of the movie. You know, like they did this huge third act and all of a sudden it just ended. And I was like, oh, I would've liked, I. I don't need a resolution, but it just kind of felt like they were like, what do we do now? Let's give them each two lines of dialogue and roll the credits. You know? Yeah, it does end abruptly, but so does the first one? Yeah. You know, I mean, Chucky get shot through the heart. And to blame you. And it just ends with a freeze frame. At least we didn't end on a freeze frame this time. Yeah. Fuck a freeze frame. So, yeah, overall, We, I guess we know how you feel about this movie. It's just, it's not my favorite, but I do think it's really important to the series because we start to see the direction that Chucky's going to go in. I definitely agree. It's a, it's a necessary stepping stone. I like it because I tend to like the, a playfulness and the final act. I really like that. We just skip all the bullshit and we just jumped right into Chucky. We don't have to play the game of like, is here isn't he, you know, real or possessed or something, we just get Chucky. Exactly. and plus we get Kyle. Kyle's great. I fucking love Kyle. And that leads me to my next question. Do you think this film. has some LGBTQ. A plus, is it, is there some coding there? I feel like there is, I feel like Kyle is kind of queer, coded. just because Kyle is not, you know, And this is kind of silly, but you know, Not overtly feminine. and she never mentioned who she's going on a date with, Whenever there was kind of a tough tomboy character. There was something ambiguous about the sexuality there and she kind of does give you a tomboy vibe. You know, I would agree. I think there's Some coding there for, with Kyle. For sure. You can read it either way. If you want to read her straight, it's easy. If you want to read her gay, that's also easy. Yeah, exactly. The ambiguity is nice. We already talked about the trans house, right? Yeah. Again, I don't think it's intentional, but because it's a transitional home. Oh, my shut the fuck up. Yeah. Maybe it was intentional. Wow. That was excellent. Thank you. Thank you. So proud of you for that one. I feel pretty good about it too. Yes. Do you have a favorite kill from this movie? My favorite kill from this movie is. The coffee machine. Yeah, the copy machine. I do. It just, it, it strikes me as so funny. To, to see this copy machine photographing or, you know, photocopying, this woman is in her last moments, you know? Because it's kitschy. Yeah. And I just, I enjoy the, I enjoy the catch. I either want to see a horrifically bloody death, or I want a death to make me laugh. You know, that's fair. I'm the same way. My favorite though, is the eyeballs. The last eyeballs, the OSHA violation. Yeah, the last eyeballs. The, insertion of them. It's pretty great. It's pretty and it looks so silly too. It looks ridiculous. So yeah, that's, child's play to everybody. Let's play too wildly regarded as a lot of people's favorite. And, you know, Don man Sini, this is when he came with soul writing credits. which I'm so thankful for. And the next film child's play three. Came not even a year after this one was released. They were realizing that Chucky was a cash cow. Thousand percent. So we're going to jump into child's play three next and talk a little bit more about that. So, until then Donnie, where can our listeners find you? You can find me on social media, mostly on Instagram, these days at the Donnie CNC auto. and then you can also look up, on Instagram or Facebook, trans voices, cabaret, and check out some information about that. Cause that's pretty cool. Yes, it is. Fantastic. Thank you, Donnie. Yeah. And where can we find out more about you? Oh, little old me, you know me, you can find crybaby at Instagram and Twitter crying underscore in underscore public. And of course you can follow horror icon at horror icon pod that's w H O R R O R icon pod. On Instagram and the Twitter, Twitter, the Twitter. So until next time cuties, don't be scared. Unless you're into that sort of thing. My.
