Starting point is 00:01:31 This has become one of my and Tara's absolute favorite franchises of all time. We are just completely obsessed. And those of you guys who did find us, you are as obsessed as we are, which has been so unbelievably cool and welcoming and filled with love

Here is the truth We're just gonna rip the Band-Aid off This will be our last Chucky reaction Not because you guys weren't liking and commenting But just because there weren't enough of you guys
Starting point is 00:02:12 We just didn't get enough of those views Yeah, it's the views It's not, we're preaching to the choir right now If you're here, then you are not part of the problem I think sometimes people don't even realize What goes into actually making these videos It's not just me and you And then we upload it
Starting point is 00:02:27 It's like an entire team of editors and then re-editing and making sure that these are perfect and that they're getting the views on Patreon and that they're getting the downloads on Apple and Spotify and that they're getting the views and the likes and the comments and that the sponsorships are there for all of those reasons. We just can't do season two and three. But I have a feeling that Tara and I will probably watch those at some point, tweet out to you guys, let you guys know in the community page, how we feel about everything.

And it's crazy because I don't know what's going to happen in episode 7 and 8, but I have a feeling there's going to be some deaths, and there's going to be those deaths, and then the death of the reactions to Chuck E. So this is a big funeral episode. Severus, we don't like it, but we got to do what you got to do.

Plus, you can always go back and watch what we did for Nightmare on Elm Street. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:50 I don't even know what that means. Me neither. Man, dude. this was it was really something because it's like I don't know what the hell that one innocent thing is we get an whole army for one innocent right but this show has built up so much goodwill that I'm like I know that that makes sense in whatever in whatever yeah like whatever voodoo world you guys have created whatever the god of this world is he said somehow it came down to you turn one innocent you get your army and you guys told me so I believe you yep yep we're down with it that's the way of the chucky universe we just if they say it we're like all right we're going there because we've gone so many places in all the movies so we're with it we don't we don't we don't ever uh okay after season one who is your favorite living character ooh that's a good question i mean i got to go with i mean i wanted to directly go to jennifer tilly
Starting point is 00:07:49 but i love fiona so stinking much um she's such She's just a phenomenal actress. I love her. If you choose her as an actress, she's three characters really. Totally. She's her. She's Nika. She's Chucky in Nika's body. And she's her dad.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Her dad, which we just found out. And I love that. So I got to go. You guys are amazing. Thank you for telling us. I got to go with her, I think. Yeah. And even though Jennifer Tilly also brings me so much life.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Like, who are you going to miss the most of the dead characters? Oh. I was sad to see Lexi's dad go. the guy who was previously in the Chucky movie I know that was the creepy psychiatrist and also Kyle
Starting point is 00:08:31 that's a crazy one Yeah I Let's look up some trivia We haven't done this Because we don't want to be spoiled But Right but now
Starting point is 00:08:38 I feel like we actually can We have the freedom Freedom Freedom Yeah I'm very I'm interested to see You know I guess where it goes
Starting point is 00:08:50 You know the ending Is that they're like We all have each other We've got each other's We couldn't even tell our teacher, but the teacher's looking out for them. They're all kind of orphans except for the blonde girl. Well, they're all absolute orphans except for the blonde girl. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah, they are orphans except for the blonde girl. So I wonder, like, maybe the blonde girl's mom will take them in. Who knows what's going to happen with the kids. But maybe the teacher will take them in. I don't know, but... Do you want to hear some stuff? Let's do it. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The production office has a kill wall where actors would pose pictures of characters. who had been killed off from the show. Wow. I love that. Okay. That's fun. Mother and daughter characters, Lexi Cross, and Mayor. Michelle Cross, are portrayed by Olivia Allen Lind and Barbara Allen Woods.
Starting point is 00:09:39 In reality, their mother and daughter, which we knew. In episode two of season one, Mayor Woods mentions Dr. Mixter. Dr. Mixter was the doctor in Halloween, too. Oh. Okay. Cool fun crossover. It's a fun fact. Okay, so the actress playing Nika Chucky in real life is the real life daughter, Brad Doroff, the actor who voices Chuckie.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yep. Alex Vincent graduated from Hackensack School, high school in 1999. Oh. The actor that plays Andy. That's funny. Okay. Okay. One of the posters Jake has on the wall features the greasers from the outsiders.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I think I said in the first episode, I was like, is that the outsiders? I think you might have said that. Yeah. Jake is the fifth LGBT character in Child's Play series after David, Barb, Jill, and Carlos. However, Jake is the first LGBT protagonist in the Child's Play series, with the others being side characters. Yeah, that's true. That's cool. Like that. There's ones with spoilers. Do you think I should read them? Because we're still, I don't know. Maybe read one. Okay. Yeah. Film series and show creator Don Mancini has stated, this will be the final.
Starting point is 00:10:53 showdown between Chucky and his longtime nemesis, Andy Barclay, stating everything from the past will come together. You later tweeted that if the show is successful, there's a possibility that more films could be made in the future. Oh, interesting. Hey, that gives us... We can cover those. Yeah, that would be... Greg can't stop us. We'll make money. That would be great if the show doesn't really, really well, it keeps going. If they're already, I'd be interested to see if they're already in pre-production, possibly for another film. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Well, I wonder if they have another seat, because they did three seasons. You think that they're done after three seasons? They're going to do a fourth season. That's what I'm wondering. And I'm wondering if, who knows, man? Just for behind the scenes for you guys, when I chanted, Greg can't stop us, he poked his head in and looked at us and then closed the door. Okay, another spoiler.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Because of Barbara Allen Woods, which is Lexi's mom, having a good horror scream, they decided not to kill her off. Instead, they killed Michael's character, the husband. What? That's the only reason? Why? That's great. I mean, I just like her a lot. I figured it was because she was like, I don't want my daughter on set without me.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yeah. Okay. Wow. Let's see. Devin Saw was casting the show indirectly references the music of the franchise. as two of the franchise composers, Graham Revel, who scored Childs Play 2 and Bride of Chucky, and his themes for the former acts as bootstrap theme for the show and the franchise as a whole, and Shirley Walker, and also scored one of Sawah's prior horror outings. Oh, so the two people who scored this
Starting point is 00:12:44 helped score Final Destination. Oh, okay. That's cool. That's interesting. That was a long-winded way of saying that yeah um what else can i tell you guys chucky's good guy doll voice is now performed by child actor nick fisher digging over from eden gross the first three films and michel ruff from curse of chucky wow all the voices sound exactly the same for his voice so that's a good job they did matching that i agree really really good work hi i'm chucky want to play could i get cast maybe for the first part yes
Starting point is 00:13:21 it's good it's good you trailed off but it was you crush the improv was not good but the one of the first negotiations Don Mancini made to sci-fi
Starting point is 00:13:30 for the show's production was Chuckie's sailor mouth he insisted that it was vital enough to the tone that sci-fi actually has it
Starting point is 00:13:37 in writing that the cast can drop F-bombs uncentered eight to ten times an episode hell yeah and of course
Starting point is 00:13:44 most of them are taken up by the pint size slasher, it gets better after the first episode as every previously on is typically the first one of the episode to set the mood. I adore that rule. I love that. There are so many horror shows and horror films that I think try to not push because they want to be like PG-13 or they don't want to push it too far.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I like that because it seems more realistic to me to like if you're going to drop an F-bomb and you really feel like it's needed, then use it. I love that. You imagine seeing somebody murdered in front of you and not be screaming. Yeah. Not be like, oh, fuck. Right? Right. Crazy. Okay, so those, that's the trivia. Wow. Man, this just feels. It feels odd to be saying goodbye to it now. We're not saying goodbye to you guys. No, not at all. Not at all. Chuckie for this for now. For now.
