A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror's longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit. Music by Michael Arthur Holloway and logo by Ethan Kimberling.

    Child's Play Wrap Up
    Jun 27 2026

    We wrap up all 8 "Child's Play" movies- and 1 season of the TV show! What's the best in the franchise? Do you prefer the campy or the slasher style? Have a favorite kill? It's been a great series to cover back to back, watching Don Mancini's work grow and change over the last four decades.

    We will be covering season 2 and 3 of "Chucky" over on our Patreon! If you'd like to check that out, sign up here.

    We chat about all 8 episodes in the first season of the Syfy network's, "Chucky"! While 8 hrs causes it to be a little more inconsistent than a 90 min movie, we still found this to be a fun continuation of Mancini's story!

    Well... we hit the remake from 2019. After watching all of Don's ideas unfold, all his zigs and zags, this version just feels cynical. Chucky's drive feels far less defined and boy do we miss Brad Dourif.
