In this episode of The Moviegoers Society We dive into M3GAN 2.0, the wild and chaotic sequel to the viral horror hit that took pop culture by storm.

We break down our mixed reactions to this upgraded chapter in A.I. mayhem, discussing the film’s bigger budget, sharper satire, and bonkers final act, while calling out its slower pacing, too much Gemma, and not nearly enough M3GAN. From Ivanna Sakhno’s killer new android to the epic doll vs. doll showdown, we ask the question: Is this sequel an improvement or just another glitch in the system?

Is M3GAN 2.0 the start of a full-blown cinematic universe or a stylish mess that could’ve used fewer emotions and more slay?
