Friends 'Till the End

We're officially halfway through 202Saw and we're at something of a turning point for the "Saw" series with the sixth movie! Consequences begin for Detective Hoffman, or seem to, and the series starts to get topical!

202Saw continues on this month's show with Saw V! The saga of Hoffman continues in this one, and at least one of us is thinking it's starting to feel like a TV show. Also: Wigs!

202Saw continues with the fourth installment in the franchise. It advances some storylines...but only barely pushes the timeline ahead. Instead, we begin the saga of Jill Saw.

202Saw continues as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of this third entry in the Saw series! Things really ramp up in this one, and emotions are high, even if the twists are a little more predictable. Maybe on purpose?

Well, that's a quick turnaround! How'd they get a Saw sequel out so fast? What twists and turns will this new one bring to the fore? And most importantly, is it any good? It's time to play another game as 202Saw continues!

202Saw, our nearly year-long dive into the Saw movie franchise, begins with the first film from 2004 this episode! Do the twists still land? Is the gore too much? Listen and find out! (Also: We say a few times in the episode there are 11 entries in the series, but there are only 10. We know.)

A killer robot Santa is on the loose, and apparently the way to avoid its wrath is to have some really out-there movie opinions. We're watching this low-budget love letter to VHS cinema for our holiday special this year! Hope your holidays are great!

The newest horror-doll franchise dropped the horror and went for an action-comedy vibe with its second entry this year. Does it stick the landing in glide mode, or was Chucky right that "muh-three-gan" was never a contender to his throne?

Presenting: A mistake. The sequel to "The Boy" makes so many strange choices that we needed quite a while to talk about them. Also: The reason "Chucky" was canceled...revealed!

Chucky had some stuff to say about some competing haunted doll movies in a Season 3 episode of his series, so we're watching what he did! This time, it's 2016's "The Boy," which has a big twist on what the doll is all about. But how effective is it, really?

The new Final Destination is available to stream on HBO Max, so we took it for a spin. How does it stack up to the five previous entries, and what year is that flashback supposed to be in, anyway?

As Chucky said, "Didn't even get a franchise." So let's dig into why that happened in 2007's "Dead Silence" with otherwise reliable franchise-creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell.

We're changing streams with this episode and starting a series about the stuff Chucky saw on TV in "Chucky" season 3! We're starting with the TV episode that arguably started it all: "Living Doll" from season 5 of "The Twilight Zone"!

Fourth movie, first Purge. But they're not even calling it The Purge yet. Does this prequel experiment succeed?

Happy Purge Day (belated)! We're celebrating this year's Purge by watching 2016's The Purge: Election Year in which there's a big argument about whether it's better to fight tyranny from within the system or via a full-on armed rebellion. The escapism of entertainment, everyone!

The Purge continues on this month's episode with the second film in the franchise, "The Purge: Anarchy"! Does this one follow through on the promise of the first movie's premise? Does it dive further into the socioeconomic conflict at the heart of the idea? And Frank Grillo is basically The Punisher, right?

Our long journey through The Purge series begins with the first Purge film (not to be confused with The First Purge). How well does this low-budget home invasion flick live up to its lofty high concept? We watch and find out!

The holidays are here, so let's watch the 2015 Krampus movie and decide if it's good or not.

We're closing out our look at the Final Destination series (so far) with this entry that has...a TWIST! We also consider whether this is the final destination for our own show now that Chucky has been cancelled. Where do we go from here? Listen and find out!

We're contiuning our run through the Final Destination series of films with the fourth entry in the franchise, an apparent attempt to inject some new energy into it...in 3D! So does it succeed, or does it crash and burn?

We continue our roller coaster ride through the Final Destination films, and we've reached the first truly post-9/11 entry in the series. How does that change things? If at all?

Can the follow-up to the first "Final Destination" live up to our memories of it? Obviously, there's the famous highway sequence, but what about what comes after that? And what does it add to the mythology of the franchise?

It was Fate's plan that we watch all the Final Destination films, so we started in on the first entry of the series! 

Season 3 of Chucky is in the can, and the finale takes us to some wild places. The Spirit Realm! A flaming White House! John Waters' Doll Mansion! Did the journey satisfy? And what actual final destination did we reach?

They promised that there would be blood, and there was! We wondered last week how the makers of "Chucky" could follow what seemed like an unfollowable episode, and, lo and behold, they did it.
