The newest horror-doll franchise dropped the horror and went for an action-comedy vibe with its second entry this year. Does it stick the landing in glide mode, or was Chucky right that "muh-three-gan" was never a contender to his throne?

Presenting: A mistake. The sequel to "The Boy" makes so many strange choices that we needed quite a while to talk about them. Also: The reason "Chucky" was canceled...revealed!

Chucky had some stuff to say about some competing haunted doll movies in a Season 3 episode of his series, so we're watching what he did! This time, it's 2016's "The Boy," which has a big twist on what the doll is all about. But how effective is it, really?

The new Final Destination is available to stream on HBO Max, so we took it for a spin. How does it stack up to the five previous entries, and what year is that flashback supposed to be in, anyway?

As Chucky said, "Didn't even get a franchise." So let's dig into why that happened in 2007's "Dead Silence" with otherwise reliable franchise-creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell.

We're changing streams with this episode and starting a series about the stuff Chucky saw on TV in "Chucky" season 3! We're starting with the TV episode that arguably started it all: "Living Doll" from season 5 of "The Twilight Zone"!

Fourth movie, first Purge. But they're not even calling it The Purge yet. Does this prequel experiment succeed?

Happy Purge Day (belated)! We're celebrating this year's Purge by watching 2016's The Purge: Election Year in which there's a big argument about whether it's better to fight tyranny from within the system or via a full-on armed rebellion. The escapism of entertainment, everyone!

The Purge continues on this month's episode with the second film in the franchise, "The Purge: Anarchy"! Does this one follow through on the promise of the first movie's premise? Does it dive further into the socioeconomic conflict at the heart of the idea? And Frank Grillo is basically The Punisher, right?

Our long journey through The Purge series begins with the first Purge film (not to be confused with The First Purge). How well does this low-budget home invasion flick live up to its lofty high concept? We watch and find out!
