On this week's show, we have audio of interviews and interactions with Disney celebrities that appeared at the 2019 Wizard World convention in Madison and the 2021 Wizard World convention in Chicago, courtesy of our good friend and loyal listener, Blake Reilly from the Blake and Sal Show.

Featured in this audio is Chris Sarandon and Ken Page from A Nightmare Before Christmas and the voice of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Paige O'hara!

Only seven years before Pixar would introduce a young boy named Andy and his room full of living toys, Chucky was born. The killer doll, of course, made his debut in 1988's Child's Play, voiced to perfection by Brad Dourif. And for more than 30 years, Dourif and writer-turned-director Don Mancini have kept the horror icon alive. But how does Charles Lee Ray's story start?

In this first episode of our Child's Play/Chucky mega-series, Bri Azmoudeh of The Geeky Waffle joins the show to discuss that original film. We'll discuss how it lays the foundation for all the wild twists to come, why Andy Barclay's (Alex Vincent) arc is so heartbreaking, and where the upcoming USA/Syfy series could build on untapped potential in this first movie.

Child's Play might be a classic, but in many ways, it's not the movie some viewers might remember it as. Join us as we dive into it. Want to play?
