The “Chucky” Midseason Premiere Delivered a ‘M3GAN’ Crossover in a Hilarious Way

Published

Chucky vs M3GAN

Part two of “Chucky” Season 3 is underway, with last night’s midseason premiere kicking off Chucky’s continued bid for the White House while dealing with a new aging affliction. The midseason premiere also delivered on series creator Don Mancini’s tease of a Chucky vs M3GAN showdown, just not in the way you’d expect.

In “Death Becomes Her,” Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) wallows over his mortality (when he’s not murdering people), which includes moping about in bed or watching TV. His channel surfing leads him to a string of killer doll horror movies playing, and Chucky’s commentary on his potential rivals will leave you in stitches.

The first film Chucky flips through is 2016’s The Boy, featuring the creepy but prim doll Brahms. After a brief scene of Brahms being cared for by his mother, Chucky dismisses this particular rival with “what a fucking joke.” He clicks to the next channel to discover Dead Silence, where Chucky retorts, “And this one, can’t even get a franchise.” Finally, Chucky changes the channel once more, leading to the main event of this extended meta-joke.

He lands on M3GAN during the precise dancing scene that went viral from last year’s Blumhouse horror movie. Naturally, Chucky is repulsed by what he sees and responds accordingly. “Oh god, no, kill me now. That little bitch. She stole my moves,” Chucky bemoans. He then flips the TV screen the middle finger and shouts, “Fuck you, Ma-THREE-gan.”

Within a matter of minutes, Chucky asserts his killer doll dominance in the most hilarious way. 

Watch the channel-surfing crossover event below.

In Chucky’s unending thirst for power, Season 3 finds Chucky ensconced with the most powerful family in the world — America’s First Family, inside the infamous walls of the White House. How did Chucky wind up here? What in God’s name does he want? And how can Jake, Devon, and Lexy possibly get to Chucky inside the world’s most secure building, all while balancing the pressures of romantic relationships and growing up?

The returning cast includes Brad DourifJennifer Tilly, and Devon Sawa, alongside Lara Jean Chorostecki, Zackary Arthur, Björgvin Arnarson, and Alyvia Alyn Lind.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” Trailer – “Camp Cretaceous” Sequel Kills Off Jenna Ortega’s Character

Published

In the wake of the five-season animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” Netflix’s “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” is stomping its way onto the platform this year.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” premieres May 24, and the series is set six years after the events of “Camp Cretaceous.” Watch the official trailer from Netflix below.

While the other characters from “Camp Cretaceous” are back in the new series, what’s interesting here is that Jenna Ortega’s Brooklynn is not coming back. As the official “Chaos Theory” trailer reveals, Brooklynn was killed off between shows, with the character’s death kickstarting the “conspiracy thriller” events of this brand new Jurassic World sequel series.

Jenna Ortega had voiced Brooklynn for all five seasons of “Camp Cretaceous.”

In the CG-animated series from Universal, DreamWorks and Amblin Entertainment…

“Six years later, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.

“Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”

There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, running 22-minutes each.

Scott Kreamer, Aaron Hammersley serve as Executive Producers and Showrunners, with Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall also serving as Executive Producers.

Speaking of Jurassic World, a brand new live action movie is also coming soon. It doesn’t yet have a title, but it’s releasing July 2, 2025, and Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star.
