MTMUGPodcast
About this episode

“I don't think I can take 9 months of this.” “Silly Chucky. It's a voodoo pregnancy. It's accelerated.” We’re coming at you with another double feature - we watched “Bride of Chucky” and its sequel “Seed of “Chucky” with Travis McMaster and we’re really gonna miss Chucky. This episode was recorded days before the news hit that the Chucky television series had been cancelled and we’re gutted to hear. But the pod must go on! This series was already a solid horror franchise, but their lean into camp and the addition of Jennifer Tilly really kicked it into the stratosphere of horror. Jennifer’s comic timing and iconic delivery are put to use perfectly in “Bride of Chucky” as Tiffany but her characterization as herself in “Seed” is off the wall bananas and a turning point for the franchise. While “Bride” plays more like a standard late ‘90s horror/comedy - albeit already pretty cuckoo with the murderous talking dolls - it’s really “Seed” that goes full camp with additions like John Waters as a sleazy paparazzo, rapper Redman as a serious film director and of course Tilly in a dual role as Tiffany/Jennifer Tilly.  Come for the iconic Chucky reads (“He looks like he fell off the ugly tee and hit every branch on the way down”), stay for Glen/Glenda’s gender journey.
