• 06.28.2023

  Annabelle (2014)

  The first Annabelle movie had by far the biggest box office take of any movie we've talked about on the show so far, but does that mean it's worth watching. The answer...might surprise you!

  
• 05.29.2023

  Dolly Dearest (1991)

  Dolls (1987)

  This Stuart Gordon movie about creepy porcelain dolls at a house in the remote English countryside not only predates the first "Child's Play," but was also produced by Charles Band, who would go on to produce "Puppet Master"! So how...

  
• 03.29.2023

  M3GAN (2023)

  We're dancing, because a new doll-based franchise begins! How did M3GAN get right what the failed Child's Play reboot attempt got wrong? And how are the two movies strangely similar? We look at it all as we run through the...

• 11.24.2022

  206: He Is Risen Indeed

  It's Turkey Day, and in addition to some stuffed bird, how about an overstuffed episode of Chucky? So much happens in this one, and Dr. Mixter is quite literally everywhere. What did we think of this plot-heavy ep? Listen and...

  Cult of Chucky (2017)

  We take on the final Chucky movie (yes, we said final; there are no others) this time around. Does this monochrome descent into madness hold up against the previous films? And how does it lead into the "Chucky" TV series?...

  
• 07.20.2022

  Curse of Chucky (2013)

  We're giving the fans what they want! And what they want is for us to talk about the 2013 direct-to-video Chucky sequel "Curse of Chucky," which may not have seemed entirely to be a sequel at first. Are you scared?...

  
• 06.08.2022

  Seed of Chucky (2004)

• 05.11.2022

  Bride of Chucky (1998)
