The fifth installment in the Child's Play/Chucky franchise, Seed of Chucky involves the titular killer doll starting a family. While noted upon its release for leaning into the campier elements of the slasher genre, Seed of Chucky might be distinguished more by its focus on transgender themes, an uncommon practice in Hollywood during the turn of the millennium.

Ryan is joined by Pete, Cheryl, Sylvan, Toby, and Mordecai for an examination of this interesting cinematic time capsule. There is some discussion about this franchise's discomforting use of the voodoo religion as a plot contrivance, but most of the dialogue is focused upon interpreting Seed of Chucky through a queer lens. What parts of Seed of Chucky feel oddly prescient today? Which parts feel dated?

If you want our take, you're going to have to listen to the episode.
