Happy Pride! This year Vanessa & Daeron dissect the queer & trans aspects of 1998’s “Bride of Chucky” & 2004’s “Seed of Chunky.” Do they deserve the hate that they got when they were originally released? Or were they ahead of their time? We certainly think they need another watch & need to be appreciated for the LGBTQ+ content alone. Be sure to listen for our poll question from the episode (hint: it involve...

It’s that time of year again. We’ve made it through another year, & Vanessa and Daeron are bringing you another anniversary commentary episode.

Hail, hail East Germany, Land of fruit and grape, Land where you’ll regret, if you try to escape, no matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall, forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn’t first….
