S17 Ep891: Child's Play 2 (1990)

“This is an ‘I Got It By the Way’ situation” - Steve The 2026 Halloween Spooktacular continues this week as we’re chatting about the better-than-the-original sequel, Child’s Play 2! How hilarious is it that this toy company insists on rebuilding the cursed doll to calm their shareholders? Why do these foster parents have so much terrifying clown stuff and breakable antiques in their home? Does Chucky have the strength of a man or the strength of a cursed doll? How much funnier is this one than the first? And has our society hidden a bygone era from us, where clowns were allowed to walk around and participate in society like it was totally normal? PLUS: A long jag on those gross airplane bottles of Fireball! Child’s Play 2 stars Alex Vincent, Jenny Agutter, Gerrit Graham, Christine Elise, Grace Zabriskie, Peter Haskell, Beth Grant, Greg Germann, and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky; directed by John Lafia.This episode is sponsored by Rocket Money!
