This week, your favorite ex-puppeteers head straight into the uncanny valley to talk about the most homicidal hunk of plastic ever stitched together: Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise.
From his humble beginnings as a “Good Guy” doll to his long career of gleeful murder sprees, we’ll explore how a pint-sized puppet became a horror icon. Expect behind-the-scenes tales of animatronics, puppetry wizardry, and the sheer number of people it takes to make one tiny toy look terrifying. (Spoiler: it’s more than you think.)
We’ll also wrestle with the big questions: Is Chucky the ultimate anti-Muppet? What makes a puppet scary instead of silly? And could Gonzo survive a dinner party with him?
Because whether you laugh or scream, one thing’s certain: when it comes to puppets, Chucky really kills.
