'Chucky' season 3

Season 2 thread.

Why would you advertise this trashy show on the Datalounge?

You're fucking weird.

r2 Because it features gay characters, a camp sensibility, the showrunner is a homo, the first two seasons got lots of discussion...?

What a bizarre response, I've never come across one like it in the twenty years I've been on DL. You must be new around here.

I've been here on the DL for 25 years, hon, is that long enough for you?

R4 Move it along gramps.

It's because I rarely watch television at all, I guess. I always watch the news and then binge-watch a few shows a year when I have that tv-jones. It's not often.

I see you guys advertising these weird shows on the DL all the time but I've never actually watched any of them. They just seem as though they wouldn't hold my attention. Thank you for restoring my faith in the DL. It's nice to know that "Chucky" is a campy, fun, gay show instead of Chucky Weirdness and Gore, which is what I thought it was like.

R6 You should watch all of the films & then watch the series. It has lots of Easter eggs for the film fans & it's one of my favorite shows being made. The Chucky threads are very popular on here after an episode airs.

Thanks, I don't know if I'm up for all that, R7, but I'll probably give it a look now.

I’m looking forward to it - I just hope that the main character’s boyfriend looks a little older this season. Last season they looked like a 17 year old and a 13 year old

Well R8 Seasons 1 & 2 had 8 episodes each so it's not like you have 44 to watch (just 16).

If you have a good ad blocker you can watch them all in a day.

He recommended the movies as well, I don't know how many of them there are but an entire day of watching Chucky (or any tv show) seems like too much to me. When I binge watch it's usually one or two episodes at a time, it's just that I only watch one show.

I'll take a look because it's been described as campy and funny and gay but too much tv at any one time gets on my nerves. It's just not my thing.

So R11 have you watched any in the past several weeks?

It's back on Oct. 4th (just 8 days away).

Any new show gossip to report on here?

Hope they continue the trope of killing off everyone's parents, and any adult who enters the series for more than four minutes.

I hope that Devon Sawa comes back (again) for season three.

I love that they keep killing him off every season, and then bringing him back.

r13 No gossip, but I saw a review on AV Club earlier today, calling it the best season yet. I loved the first one, but thought the second one was kinda ass, so I'm hopeful.

Also, I defended him during the first season, but the actor playing Jake... let's just say he wasn't a thespian in ANY of his previous lives. His couple of second in the trailer are atrocious.

R15 They cast his as the new Prez in the Season 3 DC arc.

I like him but this stunt is getting old. How about bringing Nadine back who was robbed of many great future episodes?

Are you kidding, R17?

Devon Sawa's Priest character exploding was my favorite scene in all of season two!

Rofl.

This series is SO much better than American Horror Story.

So much more entertaining, better acting, and better stories.

Don Mancini > Ryan Murphy.

I wonder what would happen if these two gay horror queens ever collaborated?

That might actually be good.

I'm getting some "vibes" between the teenaged son and his Secret Service agent.

Anyone else?

Devon Sawa is fit as fuck!

He looks great in his Presidential suits, and his ass is divine.

New episode tonight.

Jake and Devon are going to have penetrative anal sex at some point during the season!

It'll be the new "Love, Victor."

That almost sex scene was hilarious.

I loved the teacher/guardian talking to Jake and Devon about bath houses, anal penetration, and topping and bottoming.

Rofl.

It's good that the writers are building anticipation about them having sex. It's more fun.

The 2nd episode was a big letdown even with a couple of victims.

I think the premise of the 1st lady hiding dead bodies is so dumb.

Is Chucky D.O.A. on the DL this season?

Now which of those boys are they going to try and pass of as a top

I think it'll be Jake, R26.

Devon was already on his back and ready to be mounted by Jake, when the teacher and Lexi walked in.

Plus, Devon has a skinny twink body and Jake has been lifting weights.

I love this show!

I thought the little nod to "Call Me By Your Name" was fun. I bet Don Mancini is a DLer!

Jake looks all grown up this season.

Yeah, R29.

And Devon finally looks older than 12.

He has filled out a bit.

R30 It still creeps me out to see them together. Devon should be the one with personal trainer 24/7.

R31 there was a cute scene last season where the old nun was fitting the three teens for school uniforms and she asked Devon his waist size.

He replies "27."

She then says, "Young man, YOU are UNDER WEIGHT!"

And he says to her in a cute excited voice, "Thank you!"

I thought that was hilarious.

Excited for tomorrow's episode!

Me too R33.

Jake and Devon are going to look so cute dressed up in their Halloween costumes going to the White House gala.

From the previews, it looks like they're dressed as Good Guy dolls.

I would say that this was the season the show jumped the shark. Apparently only 4 of the 8 episodes are airing this year.

The dude who plays Jake is a body builder. His Instagram documents it. He comes across as someone with body dysmorphic disorder. They’re keep having to come up with inventive ways of hiding his huge physique in this show.

R35, I hope that's not true. I purchased the entire season for that reason alone -- to support it a little.

I'm kinda sad Mrs. Nice Teacher Lady died, but I guess she had to get out of the way so she couldn't block the kids from their little escapades.

[quote] I'm kinda sad Mrs. Nice Teacher Lady died, but I guess she had to get out of the way so she couldn't block the kids from their little escapades.

It's hilarious because all of their parents and foster parents end up dead!!

They should just be independent already.

I would say they're going to be 18 soon, but that's not really true.

I like that Don Mancini went with age appropriate actors, but both Zack Arthur (Jake) and Bjorgvin Arnarson (Devon) were born in 2005 so they won't be 18 until next year.

And Alyvia is only 16! She won't be 18 until 2025. (Which makes it hilarious that the writers had her snorting Oxy last season)

So clearly, they still need to be in foster homes until at least next season.

If tradition holds, then the President (Devon Sawa) is going to get killed by Chucky, and probably his wife too.

I really hope that the twink teenaged son who plays Grant (Jackson Kelly) joins Jake, Devon and Lexi in their misadventures with Chucky. He would be a good addition to the show, and would be a good love interest for Lexi, since Jake and Devon are a couple.

[quote] Apparently only 4 of the 8 episodes are airing this year.

From the Chucky Wiki page:

[quote] On January 15, 2023, the series was renewed for a third season. Despite the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, filming began in Toronto on April 27 of that year. It was expected to continue through August, however in mid-July production was interrupted due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The season will be split into two parts, with the first half airing in October 2023 and the other half airing in 2024.

Omg Chucky's dream was fucking hilarious.

When he was dreaming of killing Andy, Chucky said "I've always dreamed of this. You're my white whale. You're my Moby Dickhead!"

Then Andy says, "Are you really trying to make a literary reference?"

To which Chucky replies "No. It was a fat joke."

ROFL!!!!

As the camera pans to Andy's huge gut.

Omg.... that had me dying.

That Austin Butler joke was hilarious.

Butthead must be fuming!

New episode tonight!

Nia Vardalos looks so different!

Was it Ozempic?

Damn, she looks unrecognizable.

The Tiffany stuff was so silly and juvenile, yet I can't help but enjoy the campiness of it all. How hot was that male prison guard?

Zackary Arthur's acting really is just so shitty, he even walks shittily. Shame because he has a killer bod now.

The actor playing VP's older son, Jackson Kelly, has such wig-like hair, it trips me out to no end. I looked him up and that is indeed his hair.

Shame we have to wait until next year to see the remainder of the season.

Oh, and I can't believe that was Nia Vardalos of the Greek Wedding fame. What the fuck, how delightfully random.

The kids looked so cute in their "Good Guy" costumes.

I had a hard time placing Devon Sawa. I kept thinking Anthony Michael Hall had some work done to his face.

They kill off Devon Sawa every season, but how are they going to do it this season, since he's the President of the United States?

That would be a bit ..... controversial. Wouldn't it?

Or not. He is the first Independent president, after all. I think most people would just shrug and chalk it up to this being an experiment. You guys over there love calling the whole thing "the American experiment" already, don't you? Well, just add this to the pile as well.

R49 Chucky will arrange for a call girl to enter the White House & the prez will be talking to her & he'll kill them both.

The prez will get slaughtered but the girl will be fed a cocktail earlier that will end her soon after the prez dies. It'll look like she did everything.

Part 2 starts April 10th.

Zackary Arthur is one step away from being dressed as a gay porn star in this.

Second part starts Wednesday. Strong reviews.

Great episode. We get twinks fucking in a motel to Frankie's Relax, complete with Call Me by Your Name name calling again. Mancini likes what he likes!

Love that Chucky has "Catholic cancer" due to a botched exorcism. How do they come up with this shit?

I hated this episode. The prez' s death was too much gore. I can't believe they let that on network tv. It's a good thing I wasn't eating. Joseph as a out-of-the- blue ghost kid running around giving warnings... who wanted that in this show? Sawa dying every season is a tried trope & his acting was off in this final episode of his. I hope if the show comes back for another season that they get new actors & no "nepo baby" Child's Play film ones to fill out the cast.

Jake looked like he was having pedo sex with Lil Devon who never should've been cast in the part (is Mancini one of those H-wood guys the 2 Coreys wanted to name in their miles long list?). Ugh the two of them in bed together was a horror film all by itself. Grant even looks worse with his new haircut. Another bad looking bad actor the show needs to get rid of. Gil Bellows is adding nothing to the cast & neither is the tired first lady. The White House angle had a lot more promise than they're giving it.

The only good thing in the episode was the talk between "Princess Jen" & Chucko.

Martina Hingis and India Willoughby are the only Chuckies for me

Welp.

Jake and Devon finally had sex!

In a motel room. That was cute.

Chucky killed Santa Claus with a nuclear weapon!

Lol.

The second part of this season has gone completely off the rails compared to the first part, not sure if I like it.

Is this really it for Jennifer Tilly on this show?

I like it, R60.

It's a fun ride.

I can't believe they killed off Devon Sawa twice! But I guess it's okay because next week is the finale.

And yes, I hope they finally killed off Jennifer Tilly. She sucks up all the oxygen on the show. However, I think she'll be back next week, when the show goes to Hell.

Jake, Chucky, and Jennifer (Tiffany) will all meet there, and I'm sure the show will find some way to bring them all back into the real world. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a show if they kill off Chucky.

Maybe Chucky will come back in Jake's body, and Jake will be stuck in Hell?

Also, I'm liking the Grant character played by Jackson Kelly. He's cute. I hope they add him to the cast. He plays the President's son on the show, and he has a bodyguard played by handsome Franco Lo Presti. They have a very "interesting" relationship on the show, and it's weird, but I'm picking up a vibe between them. I know that Grant is supposed to be attracted to Lexi, but the bodyguard "Hicks" seems to be into Grant. Just my observation.

I forgot to mention that I was surprised by Brad Dourif's acting chops, he's really good for someone who doesn't act anymore and is up there in age. Very spry, good for him. He said recently this was his last role and he's retired from acting otherwise.

Devon's new hair style makes him look less like he's six, they should let him grow his hair out even more.

I agree that Grant is a real cutie.

I can't tell if Jackson Kelly is gay or not.

What do we think?

That opening scene for the finale was hilarious!

Nudity in this?

No, R65.

But this is Zackary Arthur (lead character Jake) shirtless.

Thanks, r66. I found this scene. I may watch. I enjoyed some of the Chucky films.

The second half of season three was a fun ride.

We got to see Jake and Devon consummate their relationship.

And I had a feeling about the President's son Grant and his bodyguard "Hicks." Grant went back into the White House to save him!! Too bad Hicks died before he and Grant could become a couple.

I was hoping Grant would join the cast for Season 4, but it doesn't look that way.

The ending was fun. John Waters and the return of Caroline! And of course, the three friends are now dolls.

Can't wait for Season 4!

Security guard who died for Tiffany is so pretty, I want to lick him all over.

I was about to comment that the actor who plays Jake hasn't improved his acting skills one iota in three seasons when he confronted his dad in hell and pulled the exact same constipated face as in the very first episode of the show, but then he was quite decent as Chucky. Glad they didn't drag that one out, though.

I'm thinking this might actually be it for Jennifer Tilly appearing as herself in this show and possibly even in the Chucky universe as a whole. She was fun!

Seeing the 3 kids as dolls might be this show's jump the shark moment.

Another bad scene was Nica not turning around when the kids were screaming at her for ages to do so makes her seem mildly r*tarded.

I'm tired of Caroline again after seeing in again after a long dryspell.

I hope Devon & Caroline die in the first half of next season.

I don't mind Caroline, but I agree about Devon.

Jake could be with someone so much hotter. They don't really have a good relationship chemistry with each other.

I'd add Jackson Kelly to the cast, and find a new boyfriend for Jake.

I can't believe it's been cancelled, what the hell? I thought it was a given it would go on for at least one more season. Guess the numbers weren't as good as I imagined them to be. I did think the third season went completely off the rails, though. First season was perfect – super local and super tight.

DOOL's Drake dies & now this.

What a week for bad news in Hollywood.

Yeah, it's in a shitty place right now. We for sure would have gotten another season even a year ago, I think.

I thought this news about the show's cancellation would've been

much bigger on here as the threads for each season really fill up.
