‘Living with Chucky’ Reunites Cast & Crew for a Killer Time

Published

on

‘Living With Chucky’ reunites cast and crew for an in-depth view of the films from its inception until the latest film “Cult of Chucky”.  This documentary is helmed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of Lead Puppeteer Tony Gardner who has worked on the films since “Seed of Chucky”. 

The documentary itself compiles behind the scenes footage and photos from all the films while utilizing detailed interviews from the cast and crew.  All the players make an appearance such as creator Don Mancini, Chucky voice Brad Dourif, Producer David Kirschner, Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, and of course Alex Vincent.  The interviews are amazing, captivating, and detailed, definitely something longtime Chucky fans are going to appreciate.

The majority of the documentary appears to have been filmed prior to the debut of the current TV Series “Chucky” although it does address it.  An aspect of the documentary that stands out is definitely the evolution of the practical effects that bring Chucky to life, no doubt inspired by Gardner’s father Tony Gardner, who took over as Lead Puppeteer.

‘Living With Chucky’ is a must watch for fans of this long-standing horror franchise.  It will be available on all major Video on Demand platforms including SCREAMBOX April 4th.

Living with Chucky takes an in depth look at the groundbreaking Child’s Play franchise from the perspective of a filmmaker who grew up within it. Featuring interviews with cast and crew such as Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Alex Vincent, creator Don Mancini, and much more, this personal film recounts the dedication, creativity and sacrifice that went into making the franchise and its long-lasting impact on the horror community. 

Daniel Villanueva is the creator and founder of The Legacy of Nerd, a Power Rangers-focused YouTube Channel. Although Power Rangers is his main love, he is well versed in all nerdom such as Star Wars, DC, Marvel, and much more. Daniel also loves toy collecting and you will likely see him around San Antonio filming his toy hunts. Daniel will be joining the Countdown City Geeks while continuing to grow The Legacy of Nerd.

The Bad News Bears meets Long Beach California in MGM’s ‘The Underdoggs’

Published

on

A formula that has worked many times in the past, but this film doesn’t shy away from it, it embraces it. The Underdoggs features Snoop Dogg and comedian Mike Epps in a “laugh-out-loud-near-parody of other youth sports team with a less than ideal role model” movie. You won’t be surprised to learn that this film is also Rated R and deservingly so. In the first frame of the film, you are welcomed with a sort of welcome ad that sets the tone right away that you wouldn’t bring your 8-year-old to see this.

Snoop as Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings is intriguing. The legendary rapper is mostly mild tempered or laid back when he appears in interviews or other movies. In The Underdoggs he spends most of his time cursing out children which sounds less appealing than it actually is. Most of the humor from his character comes from berating other characters, whether it be the kids on the team or veteran comedian Mike Epps.

Mike falls directly into the role he’s been playing since Friday After Next as Day-Day. I half expected Ice Cube to make some kind of appearance in this film, but it doesn’t happen. The story is quite familiar, but you are never too comfortable with the on-goings on screen. The shenanigans of the kids, the banter between Snoop and Epps, or Andrew Schultz as the insufferable Chip Collins is enough to keep you on your heels or the floor laughing. The Underdoggs is now streaming on Prime Video and if you sit down to watch it, don’t bring your 8-year-old or your momma.

Synopsis: Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game.
