RowanHOST
And then like, well, I'll wait till later when we get into all these blind children and stuff in this doll, I have thoughts, but, uh, Yeah, no, I mean, like I said, just for me, I was like, I kind of wish more happened with the doll.
RowanHOST
Maybe that's just my abnormal love for, you know, Puppet Master and Child's Play or something.
RowanHOST
I'm like, you know, what's going on with this doll? Is it going to move? Trilogy of Terror.
RowanHOST
Yeah, shout out to those.
Rob CesterninoHOST
That's his signature catchphrase.
Rob CesterninoHOST
How many Child's Play movies are there?
Akiva WienerkurHOST
We don't have to watch all of them, though.
Akiva WienerkurHOST
We can do one, two, and three on 3X, or four or two, or however many you want.
Akiva WienerkurHOST
I mean, w- we...
Akiva WienerkurHOST
Are, uh, have we done two or just one? Remind me.
Rob CesterninoHOST
There's eight Child's Play movies, I think.
Akiva WienerkurHOST
That's too many.
Shane HawkGUEST
And then, yeah, it was really probably seeing horror movies when I shouldn't have when I was so young.
Shane HawkGUEST
I think the first one I saw was probably a child's play with Chucky.
Shane HawkGUEST
And I was terrified, you know.
Shane HawkGUEST
I can't say I was brave and stuff.
Brandi Jo PlanbeckHOST
oh my god i loved problem child and problem child 2 when i was a kid i fucking loved them
Jeremy RuskHOST
i feel like the movies the child's play movies were already going that direction with like the way if you go back especially and watch like child's play 2 child's play 3 the way they were going with uh whatever main boy's name is i can't remember the kid's name
Brandi Jo PlanbeckHOST
Yeah, I can't either.
Brandi Jo PlanbeckHOST
I love them so much.
Jeremy RuskHOST
something.
Jeremy RuskHOST
I don't know.
Jeremy RuskHOST
The main kid from Child's Play.
Jeremy RuskHOST
It feels like they could have gone that direction.
JamieGUEST
But it explores very similar values to Funny Games, with the idea of that just intense claustrophobia, but as a person with their morals intact, you would probably do the same.
Rob Lopez-LambertHOST
yeah and you lose for it and it's such a like you're like but i've and you're like no you're not doing anything wrong but you will lose and that's what's so horrible about it when they remade that they just had this whole ending that didn't make sense and i think it must have been a groundbreaking thing at the time for it to have such a horrible ending because i i just i only imagine that I think there'd have been some things, obviously the 80s and 90s, like I'm trying to think of, I can only really think of slashers like Child's Play and Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street and stuff like that that would have been, because they're quite campy anyway.
Rob Lopez-LambertHOST
Yeah.
Rob Lopez-LambertHOST
So the ending's not really that important.
John CampbellHOST
He created the Crypt Keeper, speaking of Tales from the Crypt.
John CampbellHOST
He was also the designer and puppeteer of the original Chucky doll in Child's Play and subsequently married the main actress, Catherine Hicks, from Child's Play.
John CampbellHOST
It's pretty amazing to imagine he's chasing her around with an animatronic puppet and they're falling in love.
Elliot LewisHOST
It's a hell of a meet-cute, I tell you that.
Mark SchiffHOST
Where did they meet?
Peter HyoguchiGUEST
They met at the World's Fair in New York City, 1967.
Peter HyoguchiGUEST
64? 64, 65, I
Mark SchiffHOST
think.
Mark SchiffHOST
Something
Peter HyoguchiGUEST
like that, yeah.
Mark SchiffHOST
Was it 67, 68, World's Fair? Yeah.
Mark SchiffHOST
How old were you at the World's Fair? 48.
JazzHOST

JazzHOST

JazzHOST

15 MINS LATER
JazzHOST
yeah I'm all vamped up and then y'all trying to get me now it's me and Peter against the world bitch like this is too much
KatHOST
yeah and that was like I said my biggest gripe with that I know it was the 80s I know there are a lot of movies where you know we see teen shower scenes and all kinds of stuff in the 70s 60s fuck they were doing it then too and I'm just kind of like nobody said or the person who probably did say it was unfortunately not the loudest one in the room that was like hey I don't know if this is a good idea I don't know And also, like, Tom Holland directed this.
KatHOST
I'm not sure how his hands was in the writer's room, but, I mean, he came back and directed Child's Play, so clearly he's taking the crew with him.
KatHOST
You know, they doing the thug thistle, but, like...
BobHOST
I mean, it looks like they did a really good job putting all that stuff together.
BobHOST
Um, this being written by Tom Holland from, you know, Fright Night and Child's Play fame, I think that was, like, a good idea to hire him in the early 80s to, like, try and pin a sequel to, again, like, one of the most influential horror movies of all time.
BobHOST
Um, Richard Franklin, the director, I wasn't familiar with him.
BobHOST
I had to, like, look into some of the other stuff that he did.
RachelHOST
[laughs] As happens.
JohnHOST
