Episode 4: Child’s Play (1988)
Released on 8/6/2019
It's 1988's top untrue crime tale of a murderous - and irreverent! - doll, CHILD'S PLAY! We talk checking your backseat before driving, breakfast in bed, gift-giving, the horrors of Xavier Roberts, single workin' moms, babies watchin' babies, believing your children, forced apologies, new rules for dust ruffles, adult strength vs baby strength, and SO much more!
SHOW NOTES:
Diametrically opposed to Chucky in all ways: our hero, Daniel Tiger. Here's his video "Grown Ups Come Back" for kids & parents struggling with the childcare blues. Because even if the babysitter is gone and the apartment is a mishandled crime scene, grown ups come back!
SCARY GOOD STUFF:
From our new segment, ~Scary Good Stuff~, where we recommend (not sponsored) products for kids & parents!
This week, Take-Aparts from Battat Toys -- fun & challenging for kids, and unlike Chucky, lack the ability to be possessed by a serial killer. Easy to dismantle should possession occur.
RATING:
Out of 5 double packs of Good Guy D batteries, Josh gave this classic a paltry 2/5! Carol, a slim 3/5.
Out of 10 ceremonial voodoo knives, Carol gave Andy an 8.5/10. Wow! Josh coming in lukewarm with 7/10.
