Get ready: Next year marks the fifth anniversary of Child’s Play. “Wait, what? Five years? That movie came out in the ’80s!” Right, but we’re talking about the remake that came and went in the Summer of 2019. Don’t remember that one? Good news, the Halloweenies do, and they’re covering it today as part of their ensuing, year-long crawl through Don Mancini’s still-running franchise over at Universal.
To bide the time until the rest of Chucky Season 3 arrives, you can join the gang as they shed a light on Lars Klevberg’s remake for Orion/United Artists that starred Aubrey Plaza, Brian Tyree Henry, and the voice of Mark Hamill. Together, they discuss the differences between the original and this one, our fear of technology, the comparisons to this year’s M3GAN, and similar remakes/reboots of familiar IP.
