Introduction and Banter
00:01:12
Speaker
What's up, guys? We're Morbid Curiosity's bringing you another episode with Child's Play 2. I'm Nicholas Sewers, and with me is the lightweight champion of the world, the Midwest monster, the morbid mistress of mayhem herself, Mercedes Martinez.
00:01:26
Speaker
Woo! yeah what do you think about that i was i wasn't gonna yell at this time i also you're the lightweight champion of the world you hold that title now i was was like wait where did that come from don't remember that and then just listening to the rest of it i'm like he he's going in really smooth okay Yeah, I was like, um I meant to do that last episode when I did the big like wrestler type of thing, but I forgot the lightweight champion. I'm like, well, the wrestler thing makes less sense now. And I'm like, if I'm not yelling it, I'll be able to actually say it. And I wrote it down this time.
00:02:04
Speaker
Okay, I appreciate the effort. I love it. ah added I added it to the bottom of our notes. You said your name though, right? You introduced yourself. Yes, I did. Okay, cool. Hell yeah, guys, we're here. We're in it with Child's Play 2.
00:02:20
Speaker
ah Spoilers for Child's Play 2 ahead. um Just so you guys are aware, you know, if you haven't seen it, go watch it. This movie fucks hard, man. This movie rules.
00:02:32
Speaker
Yeah, do you want to just get right into it? Get right into Child's Play 2?
Child's Play 2 and ASMR
00:02:36
Speaker
Yeah, let's go. um You go first. You go first on Child's Play 2. Take it away. Okay. Correct me if any of my dates or like facts are wrong, um but it was... ah Made in 1990, directed by John Lafio, I think? Lafio, I think that's correct, yeah.
00:02:55
Speaker
Okay, cool. I'm terrible with names. But um yeah, we're following the story of um Andy Barkley going from his crazy-ass experience with his killer doll and just following his story from there. He's like a year or so older and just dealing with life after that he ends up in a foster home and even before we jump into that I firmly believe this is the movie that started my love for ASMR videos are you into videos like that
00:03:33
Speaker
um I've never dabbled, but I've always been told I have an ASMR type of voice. Really? I've never known if that's a good thing or a bad thing. yeah like It's a good thing.
00:03:47
Speaker
I had a ah girlfriend tell me that before when we were on the phone. I must have been i must been like laying down and talking in a specific low... like mumble, kind of? i don't know. I'm not familiar with ASMR.
00:04:02
Speaker
But, so, wait. This movie was your love for ASMR? This specific movie? Yes, because of that intro when they're essentially resurrecting Chucky and just...
00:04:15
Speaker
His whole burnt up body, his head, they just show like them scraping away all the burnt material and just cleaning out his teeth. I'm not going to lie, that's the part that I did not like because the scraping of the teeth, ew.
00:04:30
Speaker
um But yeah, then they're they're just making him look all nice, getting him back into his pretty little self and just like spray painting everything. You hear all the nice little smooth sounds and noises that it takes to put him together.
00:04:44
Speaker
I would rewatch that part every single time I watched it. Like, I don't know, three times. And then watching it for this episode, I was like, yo, no wonder why I watch these videos all the time. Because I'll watch videos on my phone of people just getting ready for work or, you know, making coffee. And it drives my husband crazy because he's like, all they're doing is like just tapping on things like,
00:05:12
Speaker
they're not doing anything so um but this is how are these videos shot are they just like on an iphone or are they like really good looking videos They're good looking videos. So I think they buy like those actual little cameras and they just show like a point of view of them touching something or if they bring something up, like if they're doing skincare, they've pulled it up and they're like, oh, look at this. And I don't know if you guys heard that, but um yeah they yeah, they tap it with their nails.
00:05:47
Speaker
I just follow whatever, like whatever pops up. Mainly about coffee, though. like The coffee ones are where it's at. I never knew that about you, but I also i never knew that was a thing. That's so interesting.
00:06:03
Speaker
ah Do you remember the first time you stumbled upon? was it like did you Was it something where you were just like down a youtube like a dark YouTube rabbit hole or something? like It was just one of those days, like raining outside. You're like, how did I get here?
00:06:18
Speaker
And then you just like saw something that you can't unsee, and it unlocked something? Or did you... find out about it and just go out of your way to search it and uh investigate on your own i think it was during a very depressing time during covid because you know that's where all always how you find shit on youtube i know like it was because that um that uh i'm gonna pronounce it wrong the delagna coffee or whatever if i said that wrong i hate that coffee anyway but um think you just made that coffee up that no it's like you would get instant coffee you would put sugar in it and water and you would get a little milk frother froth the shit out of it and then it would like foam up
00:07:07
Speaker
And then you'd put like your milk, your ice, whatever else in it. And everyone was making that and they were making it look so aesthetically pleasing. And I'm like, I really need to try this. And when I tried it, my brother-in-law was home and I'm like, okay, cool. He likes coffee too. Let's see if he likes it.
00:07:26
Speaker
He really liked it. I hated it. So I'm like, okay, this this isn't for me, but I think that's what spiraled it. And then I just kept watching all those videos, even though that coffee disgusted me.
00:07:37
Speaker
i I have an appreciation for a niche like that. That's very interesting and it kind of makes me want to go out of my way to look up different videos just so I can find something and be like, look, I have a thing too. have a thing I watch too that that's so like funny and like cool. I like it. I appreciate that. I like ah you unique a unique thing.
00:08:05
Speaker
I'm a, you know, If that makes sense, that's such a weird thing. No, it does. I like people being into a unique thing or me myself being into a unique thing.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's it makes for a good conversation starter. And it's also called Dalgana Coffee. I have been saying that wrong for years. Wow.
00:08:27
Speaker
People are probably laughing at me. What did you call it? Dalagma? Dalagna. Dalagna. Close enough. I am bad with names. It's terrible.
00:08:39
Speaker
um That's good, though. I mean... I tried, guys. I really tried. They both started with a D, you know? It worked out. This is why my teachers has hated me. I didn't spellcheck or proofread my shit whenever I turned it in so... Whoops.
00:08:55
Speaker
Now you got a phone to do it for you, so... I know. Suck it, teachers. Exactly. Yeah. Go back to our old high school and be like, look, see?
00:09:06
Speaker
I don't need you anymore. Oh my God, can't be. This does math for me. I can't do PTSD with our high school. Anyway, anyway.
Foster Home Dynamics
00:09:16
Speaker
Speaking of What did you think of this film?
00:09:19
Speaker
yeah oh Oh, that was good. We just walked over each other. I know. Okay, you go on first. Go first. yeah um No, I did... Well, I thought this movie fucking ruled. I agreed that opening credits rules. I had... So I realized during the opening credits, I've seen parts of these movies. I must have been like and pretty young, or I must have just not fully been paying attention.
00:09:45
Speaker
But there were shots, different moments, where I'm like, okay, I remember... the image of this and the whole opening credits I had in my mind. But um yeah, that shit rules. I was like, what a way to start a movie. You know, right we are, we know how the last one ended. And my first thought is how, how is Chucky coming back? And then the first thing we see is they're rebuilding Chucky in just such a cool, like, it's in these close-ups. The first thing we see after, like, just ah Black with um opening credits, it's, like, the camera's spinning out on, like, Chucky's eye, and then it's it's really, like...
00:10:29
Speaker
Awesome. I've watched that opening credit sequence maybe like six or seven times. Uh, and I haven't even seen the movie that many times just because I, I really, first I didn't know what I was like looking at, like in every shot. And I kind of wanted to like, be like, what part are they cleaning off?
00:10:46
Speaker
Like what is happening here? I was like so interested in how they shot it and what was actually like happening within the frame. And, uh, One thing you did say, which I wasn't quite sure on, is this a year after? i felt like this is, like, very quickly after, ah is because they are, like, cleaning the stall, and it sounds like there's, like, lawsuits or something, maybe, or, like, investigations.
00:11:14
Speaker
It seems like it would be a year because of Andy, but is this, like, oh pretty quickly, like, maybe a couple weeks or a month after? i think it's yeah I think it's shortly after the events of the first one. I think I was just um remembering a the documentary Living with Chucky and um the ah the actor who actress who played uh kyle in there um she was mentioning how her and alex vincent um like their age differences and she's like andy was nine or alex vincent was nine so i think that's what i was referring to my bad
00:11:52
Speaker
But yeah, no shortly after. No, because it was like the actor himself, may his look in this movie makes it seem like more time has passed because he has grown more. And I was like, okay, Chucky being cleaned and like everything going on on that end of the movie puts this movie in like, ah it grounds this movie in more of a time for me. But if we didn't have that, I would have judged just by his look been like,
00:12:19
Speaker
and this this is like two or three years later or something yeah and it's like definitely looked older it's so unfortunate the actress who plays his mom is out of the picture i don't know if she returns for any more movies i it seems like nobody really returns outside of andy um in these movies i don't know you're making a face i don't know um I'm trying not to ruin a movie for you or ruin anything for you because i have a bad habit of spoiling movies for people and it's like well they didn't tell me not to spoil it they tell me after I've spoiled it and I'm like sorry so um I'm trying so hard not to give you spoilers I've been trying not to give you spoilers since the first one.
00:13:07
Speaker
Well, I appreciate the effort and you've succeeded. i don't think you've really spoiled anything. Yeah. and it's goingnna happen And I'm going to feel terrible. Once we get to Bride of Chucky, I think I'm going to stop caring about spoilers. I just, like, I really don't want to know what happens in Child's Play 3 or Bride of Chucky.
00:13:27
Speaker
Seed of Chucky, I think I'm not going to give too much of a a shit about. I, like, kind of resent that movie. We'll get into it on that episode. um i keep I'm building it up, hyping it up.
00:13:38
Speaker
Okay, cool, cool. But, ah yeah, his mom isn't in this. Understandably so. I don't know if she just didn't want to do the sequel or they purposely wrote her out. Whatever the case is, um i really like the foster home approach to this story.
00:13:58
Speaker
I do too, um because at least it shows him in a different environment, one that's not comfortable for anyone to be in because they're taken from their home after this horrible ass thing happened to them. And now he is trying to somewhat settle down in this foster home.
00:14:22
Speaker
But let's talk about these foster parents. The the mother, she's an angel. But the dad yeah needs to go straight to fucking hell. Maybe he doesn't because I'm probably going to hell too and I don't need to see him there.
00:14:33
Speaker
But he just... Why are you in this movie as a foster parent? Like, oh my god. i hated him. He seems like his heart's in the right place. Don't defend him. he has He does not have a fucking leg to spin stand on. Pun intended.
00:14:52
Speaker
Before we get into him, i want i do want to say, i like your pun. I don't want to skip over that. Shout out to Mercedes pun. you said it was intended?
00:15:04
Speaker
Yes, was intended. good Shout out to the intended pun. um i Before we get into the dad, I want to say that I agree. His wife is an angel and vaguely British, kind of. i was like really trying to lock in watching it a second time. I was like, is this lady British? It's it's hard to tell.
00:15:28
Speaker
but um yeah Why do you hate the dad? what Why do you hate good people so much?
00:15:36
Speaker
No one could see that, but i just you know I just gave Nick a look. I was so mad at him for that. You defend Big Justin through the teeth a couple episodes ago, but you're bailing on this foster dad. He's got it hard, man. you know you know It's hard having a beautiful, vaguely British wife. Yeah.
00:15:57
Speaker
They're in the foster home, though or no, that they're in the orphanage, and he's just sitting there like and contemplating, are we capable or qualified to handle a child like this?
00:16:11
Speaker
Okay, if you were having those doubts from the get-go, you didn't have to take this little kid home. And then when you are home with him... You're complaining that he's trying to touch all the little like antique statues that you have. Why the fuck do you have all of those out, knowing that you're bringing children that aren't yours into the house that are probably curious? Some of them might have even stole some of your things. I don't know.
00:16:35
Speaker
um But then you just like talk so much shit about this kid. Why are you a foster parent? Oh, my God. head um I am winded. so So you're saying they should have just given up on Andy?
00:16:50
Speaker
let someone else loving. Let him fall victim to the system. Like if he wasn't taken by them, it would but it would have been unfortunate because then he wouldn't have met the lovely Kyle.
00:17:05
Speaker
But um guess dad was yeah but this dad was such an asshole. I hated him. He killed the movie for me. If he wasn't in there, it would have been great. And once he met his fate, oh my God, I was so happy.
00:17:20
Speaker
You were happy. yes really you deserved what he got I don't think you were supposed to be happy when he died. No, I was so happy. I was screaming. i oh my gosh, I was so happy. you Watch this movie, guys, if you haven't watched it.
00:17:35
Speaker
Oh, wow. Oh, wow. his wife when she died when she's like get away from me and then she's like oh god and it's like she was so that was great acting i was like yeah i would fucking lose it too you know she loved that man she saw something in that man that you're not seeing ah well that's why she chose him and i didn't man maybe he was you know sterile or whatever and like he couldn't bring kids into the world he was just so mad and he was like maybe his insecurities were talking there when he was you know before they took andy home
00:18:16
Speaker
Probably. This man, he's just not equipped to be a foster dad or a father figure to anybody.
Bullying and Strong Female Characters
00:18:24
Speaker
Wow. ah yeah This man was over here asking this kid who's like nine years old or however old he is, if he likes sushi, what kid is going to tell you, yeah, I like sushi. Go to hell, guy.
00:18:37
Speaker
is nineteen This is a 1990s kid. You don't know. This is a pre-9-11 kid. Did you like sushi when you were a kid? I did and when I was in like sixth grade. That's when I first had sushi. I really liked it.
00:18:50
Speaker
yeah How old are we in sixth grade? ah Eleven, maybe. Okay, so you had a few years on this other kid. How old is Andy?
00:19:02
Speaker
I don't know. He was like nine in here, i think. um I keep just going off of that documentary. But all the kid gives the most simple answer that he likes eggs for breakfast. What a fucking dweeb.
00:19:17
Speaker
Wow, okay, just knock on the protein there.
00:19:23
Speaker
Oh my god. Let me not jump into the bullying that this kid ignores later. You know what, shut up, shut up. What did you think? and He does get bullied.
00:19:33
Speaker
Who's bullying him? um the little shit on on the on the bus like they show him going to school his first day of school and once he gets on the bus like all the kids are just being kids and their little tiny rowdy selves but then this one kid just like aggressively shoves him for no fucking reason and then he's like you don't have a dad a mom right Probably, probably. And then I think, I don't know if it was the same kid or a different kid, but when he was in the classroom, he's just sitting there like his hands all folded on the desk, listening to his teacher read.
00:20:07
Speaker
And this fucking kid behind him just flicks his ear. And then Andy's the one that gets in trouble. Not the kid, not the bully. Andy. I love Andy. Don't fuck with Andy. Andy did get in trouble.
00:20:19
Speaker
Yeah, man. Do you think ah Kettlefish, what's her name? Let me look in the notes. Kettlebell. Mercedes well. Oh, Kettlewell. Yeah, did you say Kettlebell?
00:20:31
Speaker
I did. I'm clearly thinking about going to the gym right now. yeah oh man do you think she deserved to die too death by ruler beating lo absolutely absolutely really mercy just wow she i told you i am ah not a nice person i tell that to everybody encounter i'm not a nice person and they're like what i haven't seen that side of you like no you're not you're lying i'm like okay and then when my opinions come out that's when they they look at me
00:21:02
Speaker
In our notes, you think Kettlewell and Phil were so bad they deserved the the to not exist anymore, to experience yeah no life.
00:21:13
Speaker
Yes, but exactly. Next to Tommy in our notes, you have ah an upset emoji. Explain. Explain the emoji.
00:21:25
Speaker
So for a little um ah context, guys, Nick created these detailed ass notes that we're sharing and he has a section labeled death or deaths.
00:21:40
Speaker
I can't talk today. Forever. um So, you know, I wrote the toy guy from the beginning and then I wrote Tommy, who was the other good guy doll in there. And I felt bad for Tommy. like he was he All he wanted was a hug. and then Tommy wasn't alive.
00:21:59
Speaker
All he wanted was a hug, though, and Chucky just came over and whacked the shit out of him, and he he essentially died. It's a post-Me Too era. Folks, if you haven't heard what happened to John Lasseter, look it up.
00:22:13
Speaker
You can't hug people anymore. Tommy deserved that death. Tommy did not deserve that death. He did not deserve to have his face bashed in the way he did. That was rude.
00:22:24
Speaker
And then Chucky's little ass buries him and is giving his most iconic laugh. Like Braddorff is amazing with that. um but not His laugh is... and his scream of pain and like at the end when he enters the like whatever after like his fake genitals get stapled.
00:22:45
Speaker
And he's in pain. I'm pretty sure you don't have anything there, dude. haven't seen the sequels, ah but I don't know if they show Chucky's dick. Yeah. But when he is writhing in pain and ends up in that machine and you're not seeing him, you're just hearing him, I was like, God, but this is why you hire Brad Dourif.
00:23:05
Speaker
Dourif. Dourif, Dourif, one of the two. dwarf um not to it's not necessarily a spoiler but um it is cool just to think about because um and a little weird to think about they do show chucky's genitals in future movies no why are you thinking about chucky's genitals no would you shut why wouldn't you think about chucky's genitals are you kidding me is that what you're thinking of watching this movie Not the whole time, but I mean, they staple, they call attention to it when they staple his genitals. you're over here mad at me because I was rooting for the two negative characters in here to get their fate, to get to get killed by Chucky.
00:23:47
Speaker
Yes, you're rooting for death. I'm like, thought is being provoked in me while I'm watching this
00:24:02
Speaker
With a Bride of Chucky, they were showing behind-the-scenes footage of Braddorf and Jennifer Tilly doing ah their voice acting.
00:24:14
Speaker
um And they had them in two booths, like, facing each other. And that's how, like, they acted out everything. And I thought that was so cool because it's, like, I never thought about that before, um seeing those. And then...
00:24:29
Speaker
It's like, okay, like, you really have to get into character if you're in pain or, you know, with some other scenes in that movie that we won't get into yet. But, yeah. So, it's Jennifer Tilly.
00:24:43
Speaker
um i said Gina Gershaw in the last episode. Fuck. I'll edit that out. I'm still editing the last episode. um Gina Gershaw.
00:24:54
Speaker
Are you checking to see? Yeah. No, I just want to see who that is because i'm like i know I've heard the name, I just can't say the face. Is she in the Chucky movies?
00:25:06
Speaker
and Do you have a picture of her?
00:25:09
Speaker
I don't think she's in the Chucky movies. Okay, i don't know why that name felt associated with these movies. Okay. I don't know. Now I'm going to keep looking at like watching the films to see if she's in here, but I'm...
00:25:25
Speaker
Almost 99% sure she's not in ah okay any of these films. Well, I fucked that up. Just misspeaking. And I probably confidently said it too. God damn it.
00:25:37
Speaker
We are not experts here, guys. like We're here watching our blind spot horror movies. Just here to have a good time. So if you're looking for facts, do your own damn research. Don't rely on us.
00:25:50
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, Mercedes said it perfectly. i echo that sentiment. You know, just this movie, we're shouting our... egg Or not this movie, Jesus Christ.
00:26:01
Speaker
That's how stupid this podcast is. ah No, we're just... We're on fire with this episode already. We are. This is a good one. I'm loving it. um And so is everyone else.
00:26:11
Speaker
Rain Reviews, five stars, folks. um Hell yeah. But we are shouting our ignorance from the rooftops um from like the top of this podcast. So, yeah. um We're not a research-based podcast. We're just having fun.
00:26:27
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. ah Anyway. um Yeah, so Chucky's genitals. Do you have any more to say on that since you brought it up?
00:26:36
Speaker
Let's talk about Kyle. That's a better conversation or a better topic. Equally as good, i would say. why Why do I talk to you? why What are we doing here? ah We're trying to get rich and famous.
00:26:57
Speaker
off of other people's movies. Very true. Okay, so Kyle, played by Christine Elise, I believe. um I liked her character. What did you think about her?
00:27:10
Speaker
loved Kyle. Kyle, this movie fucking sinks without Kyle. Even though I really like this movie, like she brings this up from like ah six star an eight, maybe nine star movie for me.
00:27:25
Speaker
um I dig her. I dig her dynamic with Andy. She's not a fully, she's not like an asshole to him. Like, yeah, she has this like, I'm too cool, like to hang out with you kind of attitude. But she like, feels like she's looking out for him from the very beginning, from the moment he like takes a drag of that cigarette um while they're hanging out downstairs.
00:27:49
Speaker
And yeah, I don't know. i I'm glad she doesn't die. i i just She's probably going to be my favorite character in this franchise. And I got a bit of a spoiler um just by looking up her filmography because I thought I recognized her from something I didn't.
00:28:06
Speaker
But yeah, she's only credited in one other movie going forward. Yeah. Yeah, so that was unfortunate. That was kind of disappointing. These child's play movies always leave me hanging where i'm like, I don't know what the next one is going to do.
00:28:20
Speaker
And I fucking love it. And I really hope three rules. um But yeah, that I love Kyle. um Kyle, like when I saw her, I was like, because you like this more than the first one, right?
00:28:35
Speaker
ah think I do. I always say like I'm catering on it, but I think I do, honestly. No, I was like, Kyle feels like somebody that you would, like, just fucking vibe with. And I was like, she's probably what's pushing it over to being better than the first one for you. like Yeah, i love Kyle.
00:28:55
Speaker
Kyle and Andy's mom in the first one. I mean, we've got two strong, like, fucking companion characters for Andy while he's combating Chucky. And i've I've been digging it. They've made two really good choices so far in these movies. I don't know what they're going to do in the third one. I'm like, what the fuck? I mean, Chucky sploded.
00:29:15
Speaker
They bloated him up, you know? He turned into waxed and they bloated him. Wow. I don't know why decided to talk like a toddler there, but it's you know it's it is recorded and out to the world now.
00:29:29
Speaker
It is taking me everything not to give my opinions on the third one. or Just talk about this one. I'm trying, but you saying, like, no, what's going to happen? And I want to just be like, this is going to happen. and Why? I'm sorry.
00:29:44
Speaker
Because I feel very strongly for this franchise. So like, don't rile me up like that because I will just go off and then don't run. I'm just going to, I'm just going to screw up this whole episode. So what am I supposed say? Let's hold it back. Let's pull it back. Pull it back.
00:30:00
Speaker
Pull it in or reel it in. Shut up. So I'm not supposed to answer your questions. Of course you're supposed to answer my questions.
00:30:11
Speaker
ah But anyway, um back to- I just ignore you You're like, Nick, what do you think? And I'm just like- I mean, you ignore me half the time anyway. no I don't. You talk over me a lot.
00:30:21
Speaker
Don't. Guys, what do you think? Does Nick talk over me a lot? You don't need to write in. i agree with you. We don't need to hear what the people think. They don't need to get involved.
00:30:34
Speaker
Watch everyone just comment on that. They will. People, they heard the burp, you know? Shout out to Blissfully Bliss for that.
00:30:47
Speaker
But no, with with Kyle, i I love her character. As soon as like I saw her for the first time when I watched it um I was just like... whoa who is this this cool ass looking female i've never seen someone like that and um just like her whole personality she just seemed like a badass and the fact that she wasn't ever directly mean to andy or to anyone for that matter she was just kind of like closed off to everyone and treated everyone the same pretty much um
00:31:23
Speaker
And that felt better because it's it's Andy, he's in such a terrible situation at this
Horror Movie Exposure in Childhood
00:31:29
Speaker
point. And she's just there, you know, telling him, this is how it is. this is how it's going to be going forward. And just treating him as an equal instead of a little kid.
00:31:41
Speaker
um i love that dynamic that they had with each other and then you can just see her like slowly looking out for him as the movie went on especially at the end um like she was such a cool character even andy's mom in the first one karen was such a sweetheart so i agree on these two strong female characters see everyone i there are some female characters that i do like Not all the time.
00:32:10
Speaker
Some. um But yeah, these ones I love. It's growth. We're seeing growth from Mercedes in real time. It's not going to last. I promise you it is not going to last.
00:32:23
Speaker
um Yeah, I feel like these movies just... It fluctuates, you said? Yes, it fluctuates. yeah and I feel like these movies probably get more misogynistic as they go.
00:32:35
Speaker
um ah Kind of, yeah. yeah we'll get there um yeah so just going forward love those two um but how did you like andy's or alex vincent's performance in here um I did quite enjoy his performance. um i He does the kid actor thing pretty good. You can tell he's acting like he's not just a kid that got thrust into it, but he feels like he's sunk into this character and he knows what he's doing. And
00:33:17
Speaker
i I'm ready to watch him kind of to kind of see what he becomes by the third movie. I'm really into it. Because as far as I know, he really hasn't acted much outside of these child's play movies, which ah is kind of cool. I don't know if you know anything about his acting career. Is that true?
00:33:34
Speaker
um i feel like he might have been in one other thing outside of the Child's Play franchise. i could be wrong on that. um But yeah, outside of here, i don't think he had too much going on.
00:33:52
Speaker
Now want to look that up, but yeah. Yeah, everything up Andy and Kyle were bringing to this movie was top notch. And I really like Andy too, or not Andy, Kyle too. you know She seems like she could play bass in a band, kind of like the green room bassist little bit. You just want everyone to play bass. You just need to make that known to everyone. We get it.
00:34:16
Speaker
I was waiting for it. I mean, Cuckoo. Have you seen Cuckoo? I have not. Hunter Schaefer, she plays bass in that movie. And I was like, hell yeah, I'm on board.
00:34:28
Speaker
you know Of course you were. You're biased. Yeah, I am. It's probably just easy for an actor to pick up a bass that's like a dumb caveman instrument.
00:34:41
Speaker
You're laughing because it's true. the like The laughter hurts. I'm laughing because I never heard that. So that's a new one for me. I i will forever remember that now.
00:34:54
Speaker
And so will the listeners. come I also, I love Chucky in this movie, the animatronic work. I didn't remember to the puppeteer's name. I forgot it. But ah guys, look up the puppeteer who operates Chucky.
00:35:10
Speaker
It's him and a team of like nine or 11 guys, I think. And the work they do is great. Yeah. my favorite part chucky always has one moment where somebody is wrestling with him and kyle has it when he comes in and sees the mom like bound and gagged and dead uh i don't know if her throat is slit or if uh she was choked or suffocated it looked like it could have been all of the above but uh yeah when kyle wrestles with her i thought that was like really fun the whole fight that they have i like chucky having one-on-one with an adult it's so cool just like seeing this tiny um you know figure toy that's what he is a toy um in comparison to a
00:36:02
Speaker
fully grown adult not my size fully grown adult an actual average size fully grown adult and him just like going at it with them he's like latched on to kyle's neck and you just see his feet kicking like crazy like a little kid um the puppeteer's name brock winkless
00:36:24
Speaker
Winkless? Brock Winkless? Winkless is the last name? Winkless. Yeah, Winkless. Okay. Shout out to him. was really trying not to ah say that wrong.
00:36:36
Speaker
He'll get over it. But yeah, the fact that they had so many puppeteers just to maneuver Chucky around, that intimidates me because i still have people to this day asking me to play video games. And I'm like, I cannot because once we evolved with like the PlayStation being able to not use the little arrows, but the analog sticks and then using the other one to...
00:37:06
Speaker
just move the camera point of view around. know I can't do that. I end up walking into walls falling into the ocean. like i can't. So the fact that they were all able to do that.
00:37:18
Speaker
Oh my god, Bravo. So you just need 2D gameplay, basically. Like a flat, you go side by side or forward type of thing.
00:37:29
Speaker
Like old school Pokemon, you can go in a bunch of directions. Or like Mario. I mean, Pokemon's, but I still play Pokemon. you know Come at listeners.
Chucky's Animatronics and Character
00:37:42
Speaker
I was still playing Crash Bandicoot a few years ago, and that was... That's more acceptable. That's a... Crash Bandicoot is more acceptable and more, like, adult. I feel like that's more... i mean, people do play Pokemon.
00:37:55
Speaker
Pokemon is the, uh, most, like, profitable brand in the world, I think. It's, like, made the most money, out of and any, like, iconography and, like, product, I think.
00:38:08
Speaker
Um, but, uh, And there are I know a bunch of like people my age and older and like adults that still play Pokemon I mostly just play the old games but if like Crash Bandicoot is like that's cool that's hip to still play that you know it's like yeah.
00:38:24
Speaker
Yeah even want Crash Bandicoot and like you know have drink some beers you know have some people over. you know I think I would just like eat pizza and play that game and then get mad because I would lose almost every level.
00:38:41
Speaker
and yeah Even in ah high school, I was playing my older siblings' games, which was 3 Extreme and something else. but I can't play any other game like that because i just I'm terrible. I'm too scared. I want to, but I'm too scared. all I'll die in every level.
00:39:04
Speaker
I mean, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. Wow, no tips or anything. thing I don't play video games like at all, really. i can give you Pokemon tips. Dead silence.
00:39:18
Speaker
and Pokemon's like the only video game I really play. i don't fuck with that. You don't fuck with Pokemon? I don't. Damn, well, I don't know.
00:39:29
Speaker
Now you got some dead silence and what? Nananaboo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo. That's what I think. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
00:39:41
Speaker
There's anything about your dislike of Pokemon.
00:39:49
Speaker
Anyway. Now all of that is out of our system. Yeah. um ah Now it's turned into built-up resentment. numb
00:40:02
Speaker
um um Yeah, so i never really did fully touch on that. Yeah, I don't think Phil had to die. I don't think Phil needed to die. yeah he was he He was giving Andy a bit too hard of a time. He was too rough on Andy. and don't know if he deserved to die.
00:40:21
Speaker
His heart was in the right place. there Where did you see his heart being in the right place? He just... I mean, he thought that this kid, like... Exactly, you can't even finish the sentence. Made up doll.
00:40:39
Speaker
are like, he thought this kid made up an a personality for his doll. And, like, the the kid is, like, claiming this doll, like, killed multiple people. And, I mean, is the kid to blame? are Are they putting the blame on Mom? Is that why she's not in the movie?
00:40:58
Speaker
Um... They mentioned in the beginning how the cops that were on scene when all that happened, they denied everything. But the mom stuck to um Andy's story and she defended him.
00:41:12
Speaker
So they like put her in a psychiatric trick hospital, I believe. And that's why she wasn't in there. And the detective, what happened to him?
00:41:24
Speaker
they They just said like he he denied it and they don't bring him up in this movie. Man, so who is answering for all of these deaths?
00:41:36
Speaker
All the bodies that piled up. I mean, explosions happened. There was property damage. A car was totaled. you know i mean, I guess Andy was capable of great things to these people.
00:41:51
Speaker
So, I mean, if Andy's catching the blame, this dad's kind of, kind of reasonable. Shut up. I don't know. Shut Don't finish that. Don't be rude. Don't be rude.
00:42:03
Speaker
Someone who I do think deserved to die is ah little Charles. The little Chucky.
00:42:14
Speaker
oh tom Charles Lee Ray himself. Well, you said little Charles. Oh, duh. At the end little He's in a doll body. I call him big Charles. That wouldn't make any sense. He's small.
00:42:29
Speaker
No, you just confused me calling him Little Charles because I don't know why i automatically reverted back to Tommy. um Of course he deserved to die. He was wreaking havoc on this entire film, but in the most iconic way possible.
00:42:46
Speaker
I like the factory the the factory stuff. ah Everything like from the moment Kyle, Indiana Jones slides under that garage door that's closing. Oh, me either.
00:42:59
Speaker
I'm too tall. I'd be cut in half.
00:43:03
Speaker
I have to roll sideways, maybe. I'm not good at rolling. I would get dizzy and stop.
00:43:11
Speaker
but that whole scene... You can just slide right in, right? What do you mean i could just slide right in? Because the joke I made about myself is I'm like so tall it would take me too long to get or to get through the door. It would just close on me at a certain point.
00:43:35
Speaker
But Kyle's like, oh you know, normal people can get through, you know. Kyle looks like she could be about your height. Oh, no. She looks like she's pretty short, think. I don't know. Everyone looks tall me.
00:43:52
Speaker
Anyway, were you trying to make a short joke? No, I wasn't. i knew you were goingnna Right when I got it out, was like, I know she's going to fucking spin this. and I said I wasn't going to do it. I was talking about how I'm tall.
00:44:06
Speaker
Rude. If you're talking about how you're tall, that automatically means you're talking about how I'm short. How? I mean, comparatively to most... It is just logic.
00:44:19
Speaker
ah Don't try to fight me on that. Anyway, back to the factory. just can't wait. No, you can't. Back to the factory. um Just imagine the feeling that Andy went through just going in there, seeing all these good guy dolls, like endless amount of good guy dolls. Like his anxiety is probably like on a thousand at this point. Like, are all of these good guy dolls going to come to life? um I love that they made that whole maze essentially that it gave me anxiety watching it.
00:44:53
Speaker
Is he aware that and little Charles is a serial killer? Or does he just think it's like a doll that's trying to get him? Does he know the backstory behind this doll? Is that what you're referring to him as, little Charles, from now on? It's coming naturally. i don't know.
00:45:09
Speaker
What, got a problem with that too? No, it's just it's going to make more sense in the third one. so You're like, by default, I'm calling you little or something? I wasn't, but okay, now we'll get back into the short jokes. Thanks, douchebag.
00:45:24
Speaker
um But no, it's it's just, um it's funny because that's kind of like a prelude or whatever it's called leading up to the third one. So I just find that cool that you're calling him that right now.
00:45:38
Speaker
um But yeah, i I'm pretty sure that Andy knows about him um because he he does go into detail about that with, one of the doctors who was talking to him in the beginning.
00:45:54
Speaker
One thing I really like too is when they're Chucky. doesn't feel right calling him Chucky. I made myself say it. I almost said little Charles and I'm like, let me try Chucky.
00:46:05
Speaker
and The listeners could hear. They could hear the apprehension before I said Chucky. They could hear. Didn't sound right. Chucky sounds right.
00:46:16
Speaker
yeah like Nick's heart wasn't it.
00:46:20
Speaker
when Him and little Charles can't deal with me. No, I can't.
00:46:28
Speaker
I have that effect on women.
00:46:35
Speaker
um lost I lost my job. I'm sorry. We can't get back on point. Little Charles, you were saying... when Charles Lee Ray himself ah and Chucky, and jesus not and Chucky, God.
00:46:52
Speaker
And Andy. Chucky and Chucky. This is going off the rails. I might edit that out. um Yeah. you know When Charles and Andy ah are in the room together, I don't even remember what room it is, but when he's like,
00:47:05
Speaker
What, you act like you haven't seen a dead body before? I'm like, oh yeah he's got a good point. Andy has seen a dead body. Is it right? Should kids be seeing dead bodies? That's the question I'm posing to you.
00:47:20
Speaker
Should our children, should the youth of America be exposed to death like this? Well, my nephews were exposed to these movies.
00:47:32
Speaker
sorry, I talked over. What did you say? See? See what I mean? ah know. and At least I'm showing some growth. but You're just regressing.
00:47:43
Speaker
You're regressing.
00:47:47
Speaker
go ahead let that sink in let that sink in anyway your turn you speak i shut up now um no i just i've noticed more and more kids are just watching horror movies or just know about these characters um Main example I always go back to are my nephews. They watched the Halloween movies. They watched the Chucky movies, Child's Play movies.
00:48:18
Speaker
um They'd be scared, but they would still want to watch it And then even you had mentioned like with the Terrifier movie, there was a bunch of little kids there.
00:48:29
Speaker
So yeah all these kids, they're they're exposed to some version of death. So... What does that say about their parents?
Family Influence and Shared Entertainment
00:48:41
Speaker
I feel like these characters, true, these characters are all over TikTok and social media in probably non-horrific ways, I'm pretty sure. And also, yes, these kids are growing up with parents who grew up on horror movies, and I feel like they're testing the waters at an even younger age.
00:49:00
Speaker
I did hear someone on a podcast what they do with their kid, and I thought this was very cool, and I would probably do this um if I were a parent. But, uh, They will start off watching. They'll let their kid pick the horror movie. If they want to watch it, they'll be like, okay, we're going to try it.
00:49:18
Speaker
And they'll start out watching it at night with the lights off and the TV on. And if they can't handle it, they turn it off. And then they try again the next morning when it's daylight out. And usually they can handle it then and the kid is okay. And they usually take that approach. If it's too scary when it's dark, then they do it in the daylight.
00:49:39
Speaker
And they always make sure the kid is able to communicate and they can't handle it and they don't make him sit through anymore. I like that approach. You're starting them off young. You're letting them know that they are in a safe a safe space and they probably develop a newfound love for these horror films. I like that. If I have kids, I'm going to i'm going to take that route.
00:50:04
Speaker
And it probably teaches them good communication skills and like a level of like responsibility over themselves. you know i feel like it's pretty cool. Yeah, i I really like that approach.
00:50:18
Speaker
um I just keep thinking oh like I'm going to teach my dog to watch movies She won't even watch TV with me. I'll even be watching a movie and there's a dog losing their mind on the TV and she's just knocked out on the couch snoring as if she worked all day.
00:50:37
Speaker
like Nothing stirs her until we're about to walk out the door. If the lights are off, my dog will sit and watch the TV.
00:50:47
Speaker
My dog will just fall asleep. She won't care. yeah Ava locks right in. She just stares at it like she understands what the fuck is happening. She's like, yep, this is act two.
00:50:59
Speaker
I wish my dog would be able to watch. Ethan is Mission Impossible. wish you were able to watch. Nice. I can't, I just need a new dog. This one's defective. She doesn't watch TV with me.
00:51:11
Speaker
um But no, it was cool seeing my nephews watch horror movies as little tater tots. I just have this one memory of my nephew. Let's call him Tad. um But he, he had like a little.
00:51:30
Speaker
Yeah. thank you you probably won't like that i called him that um he had these spongebob pajamas on and he was sitting in my mom's bed and you might not like why you're saying that either probably not i love pajamas i know well he's mean to me sometimes but he's 18.
00:51:54
Speaker
Oh, wow. I thought this was a little kid. Yeah, he's really going to not like the SpongeBob pajama thing now. Yeah, but he's mean to call him out. What else embarrassing can you say about him before you get into this story?
00:52:08
Speaker
Well, a cute thing was the other day- eating as kid? No. um he The other day um when I was looking for um some ah some documents, um I found this little card he gave me. Yeah.
00:52:29
Speaker
when he was in like second grade or something, they had Valentine's Day and at the school and he was getting his cards ready and then he just left one in my room and it had a Lightning McQueen on it and it said heart thumping wow in time.
00:52:45
Speaker
and I have kept that ever since because thought that was the cutest thing ever. I'm like, oh my God, this is the most heartfelt Valentine I've gotten from this little kid. That is cute.
00:52:56
Speaker
Yeah. So I love him. I adore him. um But it was just funny because he's very young at this point. And he has his little pajamas on, which made him look even more adorable.
00:53:09
Speaker
And he's sitting on my mom's bed watching Halloween. and like he was bad they would eat like all of her chips they would drink her pop and he had flaming hots um in one hand and coke in the other and he's eating it while his eyes are glued to the tv and you see his mouth like open he's like breathing in really hard because the chips are hot and then he's washing it down with the worst drink ever coke um
00:53:42
Speaker
Meaning making it worse. And he's not even scared of this movie. And I'm just looking at him like, how? You're doing two things that I could not do. Eat hot chips and watch this movie.
00:53:54
Speaker
So I looked up to him when when that moment happened. Nice. Starting them off young. Good for him. He's just enduring a lot in that moment, putting his body through a lot.
00:54:10
Speaker
His body, his mind. Yeah, it's just all of his senses are overloading in one moment, and he's just enduring it. He knows like a weird-ass aunt next to him is just watching him like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:54:26
Speaker
Oh, my God. but yeah You got to start them off young. They'll appreciate it in the long run. Yeah, i I would like to ah be somewhat responsible for my nephew getting into horror movies. If he's interested, i don't want to make him get into it.
00:54:44
Speaker
But he's shown an interest. but He's come downstairs to like... hang out when I've been watching a horror movie and I'll tell him, like he'll be like, what are you watching? i'll be like, I'm watching something scary.
00:54:55
Speaker
And he'll be like, can I watch it? And there are times where I'll like, think about, I mean, i was watching X one time. I'm like, no, you can not watch this movie. I was absolutely not.
00:55:08
Speaker
And, uh, uh, uh, um ah he but like I was watching Blade one time. i was like, Blade might be a bit too much. it's the that's The movie's a lot, but depending on the movie, It Follows was another one. All bad choices where I'm like, I don't think he's ready for what these movies are bringing to the table.
00:55:34
Speaker
oh Two of them are very sexual. like But ah Give you a few years and then you can watch it. There are times over where I'm like, he could probably handle like Halloween without the nudity or something. you know He could handle horror movies at that level. um Maybe like Christine or something, like a killer car. He loves Lightning McQueen, you're like, hey, get the other side of cars, kid. Here's when Lightning McQueen goes bad. hell yeah. Yeah.
00:56:12
Speaker
you know I don't know. I would like to have a hand in it in some way or at least like be present when he's watching one of his first horror movies.
00:56:22
Speaker
um Again, if he's interested. He's he's shown an interest. I feel like you know I'm not never going to make him watch it and I'm never going to let him watch it without his parents' permission.
00:56:35
Speaker
But like, you know, I think just him coming downstairs and me pausing the TV and him being like, what are you watching? And me being like a scary movie. He's shown an interest through that, those like interactions. And I'm hoping maybe one day he'll take that interest to a place that is saying, I want to watch one of these movies.
00:57:02
Speaker
I respect that. I feel like I'm forcing my nephew to hang out with me sometimes. So I respect that you're trying to do that. No, because I noticed he was starting to, my same nephew, Tad, was getting into some music that I liked too. i mean, him and his brother, when they were little, they would listen to all the stuff that I was playing. Yeah.
00:57:25
Speaker
which was Avenged Sevenfold. Do not talk shit about them. You'll make me and my friend mad. wasn't going to. You wanted to. I'm good friend. I didn't want to. I'm a good friend. Yes, you did.
00:57:37
Speaker
But yeah, I would just remember them humming it. I don't say you. I know I do. um But yeah, once he got older, he started liking um other bands. He got really into Motley Crue.
00:57:51
Speaker
What the fuck? That was deserved. Wow. Not you, but Motley You're really douchebag. What?
00:58:02
Speaker
Do you like Motley Crue? Yeah, I like Motley Crue. being the ne but ban and and iing oh man that like yes yes yes
00:58:15
Speaker
I like them. Are we just going to talk shit about me now? Rude. I'm not talking shit about you. Girls, girls, girls.
00:58:27
Speaker
No, I like them. Okay, we know you hate them apparently. I've seen them live too.
00:58:36
Speaker
And you're over here talking shit about me. i don't hate them. I just wanted to say Ew.
00:58:43
Speaker
You know, I'm trying to be a better person with you, and you're just, you're dragging me back into the dark side. Like, I've never left the dark side, but still. You're bringing me back to old ways. Is what's Are you trying?
00:58:57
Speaker
I'm really not trying to leave the dark side, but you're bringing me back into my old ways of talking shit about you, so can we not? I have that effect on people. Can we just move forward?
00:59:08
Speaker
When I walk in the room, people say they're like, the bitch is back. You know?
00:59:17
Speaker
so gonna say when i introduce myself on the podcast and be like what's up folks we're morbid curiosities the bitch is back here's my co-host oh my no i i need to come up with like a good introduction for you since you came up with this cool one for me that i actually really like so i feel like you're just gonna say the bitch is back yeah No, i'm gonna I'm going to put some thought into it. I was supposed to for this episode, and I forgot to.
00:59:45
Speaker
um i have a terrible memory. I'm so sorry. um let's go I took over the intro anyway. I was hoping, because i I was thinking you might want to take over, but i was hoping you let me it so I can tell world.
00:59:59
Speaker
Just let me know. I'll never tell you no for the intro. I just wanted to tell the world about the championship belt that earned over the weekend. Yes, thank you, everybody. Thank you for tuning in for that.
01:00:12
Speaker
um No, i I think your intros are better than mine, so when i get creative enough, we'll we'll see if I can come up with a good one. Maybe.
01:00:24
Speaker
We'll see. what you're gonna do the next time you do an intro, ah what all we're going to hear is, yours are better than Nick's intros. And it's just going to be dumping on me.
01:00:36
Speaker
You know,
01:00:38
Speaker
It's going to turn into that. I got to come up with a good one and then we'll see. Because there are times that I come up with something to say and I'm just, yeah, that that was really good. I know it's going to just you know leave people in awe or whatever.
01:00:55
Speaker
and it's just silence. So, okay. Never mind. You're expecting gales of laughter? I'm just expecting some type of reaction and I get crickets. I'm like, okay, this is why I don't talk or...
01:01:11
Speaker
engage in conversation so are you saying you want me to do more should i put a so see if i can put a sound bite of laughter and no program no i'm already laughing so much in these episodes we don't need more laughter do you want me to do you want me to get you a button that laughs when you push it so you can feel better no yourself No, what I want you to do is laugh at my dad jokes when I give them.
01:01:44
Speaker
I'll try. I can't fake it. You know, just can't fake it.
Podcast Dynamics and Humor
01:01:48
Speaker
You're such a fucking liar.
01:01:52
Speaker
I'm kidding. Wow. Anyway, back to my story before I forget. And then we'll get back to the movie. I like the Slipknot reference, you know, keeping it metal. Yeah, exactly. very Very softball Slipknot song.
01:02:08
Speaker
um What was it? No, I took my nephew to go see Motley Crue and um they had Poison and Joan Jett there too. So um and Def Leppard. ah So it was a good time.
01:02:20
Speaker
And um yeah, I'm just like, damn. Did I force him to go with me or was it him that really wanted to go? I'm pretty sure it was him that wanted to go and I was like, cool, let's go. but um yeah. Am forcing my family to like me?
01:02:35
Speaker
Probably. i know I only force him to like me because he's still young. felt when i got sober. Am I forcing people to liking me? Am I forcing likability?
01:02:46
Speaker
We're forcing a lot of things. We're forcing people to listen to us right now. Yeah, the charade's gonna collapse one of these days. I know, i'm like, why the fuck are we still tuning in? Like, what are they even talking about?
01:02:59
Speaker
can't keep this shit show together. Not even talking about the podcast. I know, we trailed off so much. Sorry, guys. Anyway, this is, let's just blame that on Nick again. Sorry. Yeah, it's always, it is me.
01:03:12
Speaker
Um... I will take the blame when it's necessary, when I actually deserve it. I like how I got the blame. You were the one telling the Motley Crue story. I don't i don't know how- But I was trying to hurry up and tell it, and then you went off on like some other tangent that I don't even remember.
01:03:29
Speaker
I don't think that happened. Check the tape. Play it back. wait Let's not. I don't want to listen to my voice. Cut to commercial. We'll take care of this off air.
01:03:40
Speaker
ah We'll be back in a few minutes, folks. yeah We'll be right back. Stay in your seats or whatever. they Don't leave that seat.
01:03:52
Speaker
Yeah. But the final battle between Andy, Chucky, and Kyle, did you like it? Did you think it could go any other way?
01:04:04
Speaker
Were you satisfied with this? Yeah, I loved it. I thought it was great. And I liked that it kept going and that they get Chucky in the thing and he comes out. And I was like, i don't think that's him.
01:04:17
Speaker
was like, he wouldn't... not the Charles that I know, Charles Lee Ray, famous serial killer of Chicago, would not go out that easy. And he didn't.
01:04:28
Speaker
You know, he rips his fucking hand off. I was like, how can, do you feel pain or not? What is happening? And then he shoves the knife in it. Oh my god.
01:04:40
Speaker
That seems like the worst. I loved it, though. Good move. I fucking love that he turns into a killing machine at the end of these movies. Like, just a relentless... He can't turn into the ah Andy any anymore.
01:04:55
Speaker
That's defeated. He's fully human. and Yeah, they failed to destroy him and they cover him in like hot plastic. I love the look of the hot plastic. I want to buy a fucking toy of that.
01:05:08
Speaker
That's my favorite Chucky look so far is hot plastic Chucky. And then he gets sploded. You know, I don't know what else to tell you. It's fucking bada bing bada boom. You got like a four to five star movie.
01:05:21
Speaker
You know? oh my God. and Yeah. Walk off. Opening credits over an image but of the movie still that's not black. I love it.
01:05:31
Speaker
Sorry. You go on. No, no. um Just going back to just the brutality of this dude just... Fucking separating his hand from his arm. That was disgusting. Just once that gate fell on him.
01:05:49
Speaker
um my God. It's just an instant feeling of when you bang your wrist on something, but just a million times harder. And the fact that he stuck his arm in the dagger just to make his own little weapon.
01:06:01
Speaker
Yeah, that's the Charles I know. Ew, it's like, if you were to stab someone, it's gonna go deeper in you. So what was the point of that? and Just to look scarier, which he succeeded in.
01:06:17
Speaker
um But then once they he was like stapled to that little buggy thing that took him up that was supposed to attach limbs to him... I just thought it was funny because every time or in both movies when he knows he's pretty much fucked he tries to be a little apologetic to Andy like in the first one when he's in the fireplace and he's about to light him on fire he's like remember we're friends or we're friends to the end remember and then this one he's like Andy please I was only playing
01:06:49
Speaker
I like that. Yeah. And then it's just so crazy because once they see him come out, like his body's all morphed up and they're like, yeah, we did it.
01:07:00
Speaker
But then they show the blood on the ground. It's like, did this dude like fall on the ground and just slide over somewhere? And I don't know. I just love hearing him threaten Andy.
01:07:12
Speaker
I'm going to cut your legs off too. Yeah. um was just brutal. I loved it. He didn't need to have it that bad.
01:07:24
Speaker
He needs to learn to quit while he's ahead, this Chucky guy. You know, I've kind of backed us into us being the lessons podcast. And listeners, if I can give you any lesson, if we here at Morbid Curiosities, the podcast that you trust every week,

01:08:08
Speaker
And look where that got him. look Stop calling him Charles. That's his name. You're the one who told me. i ah You can't. ah Why'd you tell me then?
01:08:21
Speaker
Shut up. Anyway, finish your 10th. You know, I was like, Chucky, who's fucking Chucky? Chucky's what? Then you're like, Chucky's Charles. And I was like, all right, point taken. You know, I felt dumb. I had egg on my face.
01:08:33
Speaker
Now I'm calling him by his proper name. And you're like, why what's with this Charles? And I'm like, Mercedes. I don't know what you want from me. Why are we bringing the government names in? like why do Why do we have to say my full name? Why do we have to say Chucky's full name?
01:08:51
Speaker
You brought it up. I was none the wiser. You corrected me. You're just picking fights tonight. i can You're just picking some fights. I'm not picking fights. you cut i i could have just kept calling him Charles and you could you didn't have to say anything.
01:09:08
Speaker
It's funny because i want to say this one detail, but I'm trying to leave ah keep it um until Bride of Chucky. So let me just shut up Yeah. Why are you trying to spoil stuff, man? Because you keep making me think points that I want to bring up for the next two movies. why So it's because I'm excited, Nicholas. I'm excited.
01:09:29
Speaker
you take some accountability you're throwing this you word around a lot like you keep making me and i told you excited how about you for us how about try this be like you know i am just so knowledgeable about these movies that when i hear details i get you know i almost spoil things how about that use use the i word a little more a little ah but less little less of this you
01:09:56
Speaker
I'm sensing a lot of aggression coming from your end of this podcast, Nicholas. Let's turn it back a little bit. When we feel cornered, it's normal to lash out. I'm sorry.
01:10:09
Speaker
Let's be friends again. Finish out with a bang here. yeah oh People are loving it. there were We're fucking throwing just home runs. is that What happened? You throw a home run?
01:10:22
Speaker
you pitch do you want to pitch a home run? i don't think you want the person batting to get a home run. so No, no. Anyway, I broke down baseball for you guys. I hope you're happy we did that on this episode too. I'm not going to sports. I don't know anything about sports. so I don't either.
01:10:41
Speaker
Well, is there a sports horror movie? Ooh. Yeah, is there one? Let's compile. That's a season. Sports horror.
01:10:53
Speaker
If we can get like five five of these, we can make this thing float. We could. got gas to get us a mile, maybe.
01:11:04
Speaker
Or we can do horror movies that have... I don't know, maybe that's too far of a stretch. That have sports in them for like a scene or two, maybe.
01:11:18
Speaker
um Maybe that could help. I'm thinking of the faculty, Carrie... um Oh, what's another one? ah I feel like you're pitching more of a ah teen, like, high school season.
01:11:36
Speaker
i Should we make a sports horror movie? is that Should we write and film, like, I don't know. slash dunk or something like that. I don't know. That was terrible.
01:11:52
Speaker
I couldn't even like think of one. um This is hard. Now i know why this has never been done before. I mean, that would be a moneymaker to people that know nothing about sports make a sports-themed horror movie.
01:12:12
Speaker
Slaughterball. Would you go see that? Would you pay money to go see that on opening night? Yes, we would make a good- Slaughterball. Yes. I believe if we if you and i sat down right now, and we were it wouldn't be called Slaughterball. No.
01:12:27
Speaker
If you and I- If you and i sat down- What? Why? why what Because I put no thought into it. That's why. But it can just it just flows. slaughter ball. If you and I sat down right now and we committed, like we are going to write and film a sports, but a horror movie that is centered around a sport.
01:12:56
Speaker
like If you and I said that and we are going our goal is it has to be good, We, I think, I'm confident we can make, we would make a good horror movie. I don't have a doubt in my mind.
01:13:14
Speaker
I would not let this thing be bad.
01:13:21
Speaker
I got nothing for that. I don't. You have no faith? Wow. Not in that. Not in a sports horror movie. guess Morbid Curiosity's production is in the toilet already.
01:13:32
Speaker
No, let's make a horror movie about, i don't know, music. that That's something we know. Let's write about what we know.
01:13:43
Speaker
i i mean, we don't have to go with the concept I have. I mean, that would be funny. If we backed our way into making a movie, I mean, we can talk off mic if you're serious. But mean, I have a music-centered horror movie um ah concept. I won't say it on mic, though, but.
01:14:00
Speaker
Yeah, don't give your your idea away. Someone will steal it. Don't do it. You don't love Slaughterball anymore? Is that what you're saying? You know what? It's beneath you all of a sudden. This is like, what, the third, fourth time I've said that for this podcast?
01:14:16
Speaker
For this episode, I mean... It's fine. Slaughterball, we'll put it on the shelf. Listeners, when there's a demand for Slaughterball, we'll bring it to the people.
01:14:29
Speaker
There has to be a demand.
01:14:33
Speaker
Do you guys want Slaughterball? Do you want to hear more about Slaughterball? There has to be demand. ah Yes. Would you go see Slaughterball on opening night?
01:14:44
Speaker
If we don't get a lot of people saying yes, then we just, we can't do it. we've got to get this thing to a 10 million dollar budget
01:14:56
Speaker
slaughter ball tell your friends ah which no one's life watch no one's listening right now everybody's gonna love it everybody's listening they have faith in us they believe in us and i believe in us um we started a podcast um not not a lot of people can say that but uh definitely ah Should we wrap up on Child's Play 2 and then kind of you know find some sort of landing for this plane?
01:15:26
Speaker
Sounds good. What are your final thoughts on this
Conclusion and Reflections
01:15:29
Speaker
movie? um I did want to say if this episode were a plane, would be Air Force One. This whole podcast.
01:15:38
Speaker
Air Force One. Just had to throw that out there. Mercedes is laughing because she's like, Nick is an idiot. like that's just one of the He didn't answer my question to say that.
01:15:50
Speaker
He never answers my questions. He goes into other tangents. And then gets mad at me when I go on tangents. and There's a delay and a thought hits me right as you're saying something and I never know. I abandon a lot of thoughts, trust me. I'm like, I can't can't derail this.
01:16:08
Speaker
You should just take the time to think about the times I'm not interrupting you. Yeah.
01:16:17
Speaker
Okay, I will hold on to those for the next episode. Yeah. um Yeah, Child's Play 2 fucking rules. Let me see what it got like rated on Letterboxd. By the way, follow me on Letterboxd at Nicholas Ewers.
01:16:30
Speaker
um Let me go check this out. Also, Mercyless Aesthetics. Go follow her on Instagram. Yeah, if you guys need a facial or any type of full body waxing, I got you covered.
01:16:42
Speaker
Hell yeah. So I thought the rating for Child's Play 2 was lower. It's not. It's at a 3.2. That's acceptable. I get that for a horror movie. um That's kind of like, I would put it at like a 3.8 by like normal movie standards. Horror movies kind of just by de default get less than usual.
01:17:00
Speaker
um by Not by default sometimes, but... uh this movie yeah rules uh four out of five that's what i gave it on letterboxd i didn't know what to expect i kind of i think i'm really gonna walk away from this like chucky season uh really cherishing the time i spent with these three child's play movies i am so on board and that i don't know if it's just because we're talking about them together like there's a little bit of an elevation that's happening with these movies if I'm caring about them more because they're a part of this early podcast journey.
01:17:37
Speaker
But I am really like, I've really like loved these two movies and I think i'm going to look back on them and like cherish these two child's play movies. um I'm really into them. I'm glad we started here. It's a good place to start. It's like pretty cool. um Yeah, this was smart.
01:18:00
Speaker
Yeah, good call on your end, just because when we were starting... It a collaborative effort. I'm not going to take all the credit. It was a collaborative effort. trying to give you some fucking credit here, and then you just you share it. Come on.
01:18:11
Speaker
Don't be a good guy here. Don't be a good guy here. Look at what happened to Chucky. i I was going to say, that's it good Chucky reference. i like it. And I didn't even try to, so... I got happy.
01:18:24
Speaker
Good, good. They sometimes come at at a good moment, but... um What was it? Yeah, we were trying to figure out what movies to go in sequence when we were um figuring out the lineup for the podcast. And even talking about it today, we started off with Psycho because neither of us have seen it. Then we went into, since this is based off of our blind spots and you know what we would assume other people's blind spots are for horror movies, um that's when we dove into Misery.
01:18:59
Speaker
because Nick didn't see it. And then we dove in a green room because I didn't see it. And then we just decided, let's go into a franchise that most people have seen um that I really love. But it's great because you have only seen the first one and now the second one. So Now with each movie, it's just, what is he going to think of this part? Or is he going to like this film more than this one? um you know So I'm excited just to get your reaction out of these. So it's a fun time.
01:19:30
Speaker
These two are my favorite um ones out of the franchise. And yeah, just just watch them all if you haven't. Yeah, hopefully you guys are watching for the podcast. I mean, yeah get on board with this.
01:19:46
Speaker
Yeah, we're having a great time with these. At least I am. I don't want to speak for you. I'm having a great time watching these Chucky movies. Hell yeah. I'm having a fucking amazing time doing this.
01:19:58
Speaker
I am excited even though, so starting with Bride of Chucky, my expectations are pretty low. Not because of Bride of Chucky itself, because I've seen the intro of Seed of Chucky and it looked fucking horrendous.
01:20:12
Speaker
um Yeah, that's gonna, Seed of Chucky is gonna be an episode, guys. Don't miss that one. i'm I have a feeling we're gonna be fucking firing on all cylinders for that one. um yeah But Bride of Chucky, my expectations are pretty low, and I'm excited because of that, even though that kind of contradicts each other. the I'm excited because I'm expecting like ah a bad movie. I'm expecting them to like dip in quality after Child's Play.
01:20:45
Speaker
But
01:20:48
Speaker
I think, I don't know, I think it would be kind of cool if I walked away and I was like, guys, but Bride of Chucky is kind of good, you know? i like, or I don't think I'll think like Cult of Chucky or whatever, Curse of Chucky like that great, but it would be kind of cool if I did, you know?
01:21:13
Speaker
So I'm excited to see how this all shakes out.
01:21:19
Speaker
I just need you to finish watching all of these so I can start telling you what I'm thinking. i can only watch them as fast as we record them. I am losing my mind trying to hold this all in.
01:21:33
Speaker
know. could have... I'm struggling. I'm struggling. ah We could have potentially recorded yesterday. I know that was on the table.
Personal Struggles and Podcast as Distraction
01:21:40
Speaker
um No, it's okay. Yeah, for the listeners, um my life is a disaster right now. I was a victim of identity theft, and I'm picking up the pieces.
01:21:51
Speaker
Yeah, so this podcast was actually a fucking fantastic ah separation and departure from all that horse shit. Yeah. Thank you to the listeners for keeping this thing going. And thank you for Mercedes for wanting embark on this, this Chucky journey together. Hell yeah. Thanks to Nicholas for just bringing up the idea and yeah, let's just see where the next episode goes.
01:22:18
Speaker
Cause I have opinions and I know your opinions. I'm pretty certain what they're going to be. So stay tuned everyone. And while we're throwing thanks around, thanks to Charles for being just such a good guy.
01:22:35
Speaker
just have to that in there. You couldn't go off a winner or go out a winner. you just had to kill it, didn't you? We've been more with curiosities.
01:22:52
Speaker
Thank you.
