Chucky - Are we ready for Chucky, the gay icon?

from Remakes Reboots & Revivals · host Rolando Nieves & Nicole Pometti

It's finally happened. Something Rolando and Nicole covered on the podcast has since gotten a remake or revival.  This week they turn their attentions to Child's Play and the Chucky saga. The two spoke about the original 1988 film in July 2019. The Chucky character, created by Don Mancini has a long history on the big screen and can now be found on the small screen in the new USA & SyFy series, "Chucky." And, this time Chucky is protecting (or grooming) a gay teenager in Hackensack, NJ. And Rolando and Nicole have a lot of thoughts and feelings about that. Thoughts like, "Is revenge ever right?" "Is Chucky the queer icon we need?" And, "Where is this idyllic version of Hackensack located because it ain't Jersey." Listen now.
