We're putting our red hair thinking caps on as we try to devise away to keep Chucky going on his killing spree because we're pitching sequels to another slasher series! You'll hear which of us connects Chucky to the universe of Psycho and which of us picks a 50's gem to draft off of, how Cult of Chucky left us with so many threads dangling, that it was hard to remember all the plot lines and characters we had to pick back up to keep the story going, and you'll hear what series we have coming for you for the holiday season.

We go so far beyond disagreement on this week's movie that we even disagree that bad choices should be considered bad. One might say we could be committed for having a split personality because we didn't see eye to eye at all while discussing the 2017 sequel,  Cult of Chucky. You'll hear a disagreement about the admittedly odd decision to create a washed-out and antiseptic look for the film, what we think of the decision to get the band back together by inviting almost everyone that's been in the series back for this film, and a discussion about the bad guys winning ending that denotes that the true hero of the series is Chucky.

The series may have reset but we're full steam ahead like always because we're talking about the 2013 sequel, Curse of Chucky. You'll hear what we think of the back to basics storytelling after two meta movies in a row, how the addition of Brad Dourif's daughter, Fiona Dourif, was an excellent decision by the filmmakers, and how writer, director Dan Mancini is starting to come into his own as a director by creating one of our favorite sequences in the series.

We're on the set and ready to talk about being ready to talk about the 2004 sequel, Seed of Chucky. You'll hear what we think about the meta of all meta movies and how the weight of it's metatextuality works against the film instead of being an asset like the movie that preceded it, how many hits the movie has in terms of jokes or ideas but how it doesn't compare to the misses, and a discussion about how formless this episode is but that we consider that the fault of this sequel which is itself, quite formless.

We're walking down the aisle to give our thoughts on the 1998 sequel, Bride of Chucky! You'll hear why we admire this movie so much as a metatextual commentary on the series itself and old Hollywood, how pleased we were with the rule of three Three's Company related jokes considering John Ritter's role in the film, and what a delightful addition Jennifer Tilly becomes when she's added to what we didn't know we needed, the domestic side of Charles Lee Ray's previous life.

The blanks are out and we're loading live rounds as we talk about the third installment in the Chucky series, Child's Play 3! You'll hear the good and the bad in the movie like an opening that closes the capitalism is bad loop of the story at the beginning but also fails to build tension and sticks around too long, the problems with the time jump and what happens and how making your central character older forces you to install a new and younger surrogate, and a game of that feels right in which Tom out duels Mike by remembering that the actor who plays George's boss on Seinfeld is named Daniel von Bargen.

We're ready to smash your face and bury you in the backyard if you can't recognize what a solid sequel has been made in Child's Play 2! You'll hear our thoughts on the merits of this aftermath sequel and how they manage to include the business storyline at the beginning of the film, more compliments on the voice performance of Brad Dourif as Chucky, and a conversation about how well this series is able to create new characters as well as bring back legacy characters seamlessly in a way that just flat out works for an audience.

It's not exactly child's play when ranking the Chucky series... I know you saw what we did there. You'll hear why this series is so hard to rank as we discuss how many different kinds of sequels there are in this series and why we value what we do, that we may have the same two movies at the top but then diverge greatly in what we like most after that, and some repeated gushing for the voice performance of Brad Dourif which we believe may rank second to no other voice performance.

We are facing off in the middle of town to unholster our pitches in a battle to the death. You'll hear which of us decides to kill the magnificent seven, which of us has seven stories for the magnificent seven, and whether or not we go prequel or sequel. Enjoy!

We're stalking the political problems of our latest sequel like the previously level headed and now murderous Chris stalks characters in The Magnificent Seven Ride! That exclamation point finishes the sentence and the title of the movie. You'll hear what we think of Lee Van Cleef taking over the role of Chris and how much his performance changes the essence of the character, several observations about how this movie seems to side with Richard Nixon and his republican friends think about young people and justice, and a talk about how useless it is to introduce your villain about sixteen minutes from the end of your film.
