Podcast hosts explore Chucky's character evolution (Part 4)

Starting to be funny. Three has jokes, but much more in the vein of Nightmare on Elm street jokes than what we later saw in Bride and Seed. But what's really interesting if you go and watch the further movies and the TV show, is that then in Cult of Chucky, we get the idea that the dolls can split their souls into multiple locations. So we end up having multiple dolls running in parallel. We end up having them all over the planet. It's a whole crazy scene. But, yeah, that's the key. They did not have genitals or secondary sexual characteristics when they were made. But rather, as their souls were in the body, they became more and more like human bodies. Have a great one. Oh, I'm having such a hard time picturing this that they're like their genitals grow with time. I. Oh, it just. And it's not. It's not even the genitals, but plastic genitals. That's what I think I'm bothered by. Thank you for giving us some more context about the lore of Chucky. And I'm glad that it's thought through. It's not just willy nilly, Don's got a plan. I trust Don. Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. But here's something that Johnny Unusual brought on the Discord. Not only do they grow genitals, but as Chucky becomes more human within the doll, he also develops more human weaknesses, particularly the ability to feel pain, which in the original film he doesn't have. All right, I like this. It kind of elevates and keeps the character actually interesting. I mean, honestly, when we live in a world of like, Jason's and Freddy's, they are kind of always unbeatable. So I like the idea that Chucky is on a human journey. This is truly the prison sentence that this criminal deserved. To feel humanity in every way. Oh, my gosh. This movie is a. Is a beautiful metaphor for crime and punishment and rehabilitation. What a beautiful story we're telling. Anyway, let's go back to the discord. Anonymous84 writes. Two things I wish they would have mentioned on the show. That names Glenn and Glenda are References to the 1950s Ed Wood b film Glenn or Glenda, which explores a guy named Glenn transitioning into a gal named Glenda. Yes, I thought that was obvious. I thought I mentioned it. But yeah, I think that everybody, hopefully, who is watching this movie is familiar enough with the Edwood oeuvre to. To see that reference. I thought it was clever, but also.
