This week on the show, journalist and New Yorker cartoonist Gabrielle Drolet returns to discuss not one but two tales of toy terror — 1988's Child's Play and 2023's M3GAN!

Minutes from the conversation:

• Chucky is just a dude
• The advances in film effects and technology
• Bad movie policing 

Child's Play stars Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon and Brad Douriff and was directed by Tom Holland.

M3GAN stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald and Jenna Davis and was directed by Gerard Johnstone.
