HTWDT Episode 27: Deadly Friend (1986) and M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

It's our one-year anniversary! So let's unplug it all and plug it back in with these two beauties. In 1986, Wes Craven tried to introduce the world to his Deadly Friend...but audiences were more interested in his nightmares, so the studio stuck their greasy fingers into his mechanical pie. Spoiler Alert…It didn't go over too well, but this one has a good origin story. Twenty-six years later, the world was introduced to M3GAN and now M3GAN 2.0, so we paired Wes' long lost and rarely talked about friend with the latter. Lucky for you! In this episode, we talk robot love, destructive AI’s, evil stepfathers, Steven Segal, and Family; in fact, “it’s all about family!” So put on your headphones and reboot with some laughs.
