She’s back—and she brought spy gear?! In this episode, Chris and Jess review M3GAN 2.0 and break down the good, the bad, and the totally bizarre.

From PG-13 horror letdowns to dance battles, government missions, and killer AI upgrades, this sequel takes a wild turn.

Is M3GAN still the next horror icon? Or has the franchise short-circuited into full-on action-comedy chaos? We’ll talk genre whiplash, missed opportunities, what worked, and what had us yelling at the screen.

If you're wondering:

• Is M3GAN 2.0 better than the first?
• Where did all the horror go?!
• Can M3GAN actually replace Chucky?

You’re in the right place. Hit play and let’s get into it.

Chris and Jess dive into two of the latest horror comedies: The Monkey (2024), directed by Osgood Perkins and based on a short story by Stephen King, and Hell of a Summer, Finn Wolfhard's directorial debut. Both films bring wildly different energy to the genre: The Monkey leans into creepy, slow-burn tension with dark humor, while Hell of a Summer offers a stylized, campy twist on the classic teen slasher formula.

In this in-depth review, Chris and Jess break down what works (and what doesn’t) in each film, compare their tones, performances, and scares, and answer the question every horror fan asks: are these worth the rental price, or should you wait for streaming? If you love horror with a side of comedy and want to know which new release deserves your time (and money), this is the double-feature review for you.
