In Chucky's penultimate season 3 episode, everyone is up to speed on all things Chucky, but it's time to check in with the man himself: Charles Lee Ray (the ghost version)!

eXistenZ (1999) feat. Vannah Taylor
Lube up your industry standard bio-port because we're playing David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999) with someone friendly: Vannah Taylor! David Cronenberg's meditation on the dangers of gaming and simulation is the middle entry of an unofficial trilogy. It's also a film that gets real confusing, real fast, so good luck figuring out if we're still in the game! Plus: criticisms of a "bland" game world, praise for Jennifer Jason Leigh, Canadian royalty, comparisons to Serenity, disgusting gristle guns

Chucky Queers: S03E05 "Death Becomes Her"
Chucky returns for Part 2 of S03 and while we're unsure what the title "Death Becomes Her" refers to, we like this as a reintroduction. There's a bit of Tilly, some cherry popping and some eye gouging. Plus: is First Lady Charlotte gonna fuck Pryce? Will Henry team up with Caroline? And will Devon or Grant make it to S04? Questions?
