The VD Clinic – Episode 52 – Pride of Chucky

The VD Clinic — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 01:32:37 +0000

Happy Pride! This year Vanessa & Daeron dissect the queer & trans aspects of 1998’s “Bride of Chucky” & 2004’s “Seed of Chunky.” Do they deserve the hate that they got when they were originally released? Or were they ahead of their time? We certainly think they need another watch & need to be appreciated for the LGBTQ+ content alone. Be sure to listen for our poll question from the episode (hint: it involves Julia Roberts). You can weigh in on Facebook or via our email. We’ll announce our answers next episode.

Next episode: Episodes 4-6 (season 1) of “The Boys” paired with a portion of the Garth Ennis comic.

The VD Clinic — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 18:03:46 +0000

It’s that time of year again. We’ve made it through another year, & Vanessa and Daeron are bringing you another anniversary commentary episode. This time we cover David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet.” The 1986 film starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Laura Dern, & Dennis Hopper is a bit more prestigious than some of our other commentaries, yet we manage some laughs.

Next for our Pride episode, we’re going a little campy with a double bill of 1998’s “Bride of Chucky” & 2004’s “Seed of Chucky.”

EPISODE 16 – It’s summer vacation! Amid technical difficulties & in mental preparation for Episode 17, Vanessa & Daeron take a little break this month to cover two movies & answer some listener mail. There are plenty of songs & impressions as they cover Danny DeVito’s “Death to Smoochy” & Trey Parker’s “Orgazmo”. And to clarify the book giveaway from the episode, it will go to the first person who Tweets/messages us on Twitter with their favorite noir book or movie. We’re on Twitter @VDClinicpod. If no one reaches us on Twitter, don’t worry we won’t hold it against you if you email us about the book giveaway. We know we were a little unclear. What can we say…our brains were fried. Next month we dive into the world of feminist dystopias with Margaret Atwood’s novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” & its 1990 film adaptation. Music: The Go-Go’s “Vacation” & Joan Jett & the Blackhearts “Summertime Blues”
