M3GAN, or Megan, is a Child’s Play knock-off that’s more in keeping with the recent Child’s Play reboot and the techy elements of that one than the spirited original.

A Silicon valley-type corporation is mucking about where it shouldn’t with mostly predictable results.

This is another killer doll type movie, fairly good of its type – but its type ain’t that good, as it’s a genre that’s not particularly riveting at least according to this reviewer.

In this episode:

  • Child’s Play comparisons
  • Allison Williams and the zeitgeist aspect of AI
  • Emotional resonance and storytelling
  • Other killer doll movies
  • The general crappiness of Blumhouse productions
  • Cinematography and tone and their importance in horror
  • Crummy comedians and material that’s played for yuks in horror

It’s Die Hard on a train! On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Steven Seagal is back…but on a different conveyance, moving from a navy destroyer to a train.

But fear not, he’s just a cook (whoops, I said “chef” on this episode and didn’t feel like fixing it) who happens to be able to take on 30-50 antagonists singlehandedly, using various aikido twists and clotheslines – but also, guile and ingenuity. And really, those are just as badass.

An evil Svengali hijacks a train with high-grade weapons. And as luck would have it, Casey Ryback is on board to save the day. But what saves this Under Siege sequel is the stellar cast of supporting players, like Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul), character actor Nick Mancuso and Kurtwood Smith (That 70s Show/Robocop).
