Quality Check Podcast

Call it a bit of Alternative Programming. This week, we're diving into Hollywood's latest attempt to make what is old new again. Killer doll Chucky returns in the revamped version of "Child's Play" (5:25) and series creator Don Mancini isn't happy.

But with a mostly warm reception, should Mancini be worried about boycotting this new version?

We also revisit the 1988 chiller that started it all (57:52) and update our Summer Movie Rankings (1:16:01).

Visit https://www.spreaker.com/show/quality-check for other QC episodes and get ready for next week when we talk about "Brightburn" and the new Blumhouse horror treat, "Ma."

Daniel & Drew discuss what many are calling the most divisive new Twilight Zone episode yet: "Not All Men." While both hosts have remained optimistic about the rebooted series, they explain what made this episode so frustrating.

For the third time this season, they point out which classic Twilight Zone episode "Not All Men" borrows elements. Also, the Quality Check crew explains which role they think Taissa Farmiga would rock, which derailed the podcast episode for a few minutes that ended in a blooper take.

Beware of **SPOILERS** for "Not All Men."
