Gen Z vs Classic Movie: Child's Play
Summary
Brooke and Jeffrey rewatch the 1988 horror classic *Child’s Play* to evaluate how it has aged. They discuss the film’s cheesy special effects, the campy nature of the Chucky character, and the memorable scene where the mother realizes the doll is alive. The hosts also compare the original to modern remakes and spin-offs, ultimately rating the movie three out of ten "bloody knives" for its lack of genuine scares.
