      They also reside in a safe zone where the films can still be considered classics without being considered good movies. Even the first Friday The 13th film today is still considered a “technically bad” movie with its pacing and filming choices.

      As a general rule often people who allow themselves to work on dark shit in fiction are sweeter and kinder in the rest aspects of their lives. At least in my experience. I feel safer talking to people who enjoy horror and gore than those who insist in pure and sweet media only. Usually those have a higher chance of judging you or being cruel for no reason. With exceptions of course but you get the idea.

    I love these recounts. They not only give a chance for James to update his catalogue, but there's something comforting in the familiarity of revisiting early Dead Meat, especially long running series' like Friday, Chucky and Saw. Sure you could always binge the old episodes, I have plenty of times, but it's usually in the background while I'm doing something else, but with recounts it gives a reason to sit down, grab a snack and focus on the episode

    I know there are people who dislike these Recounts. I, however, am not one of them.

I'm super excited for these!

      When I watched the original Kill Counts of the Chucky franchise, I was already used to how James went in-depth about the movies that I was caught off guard by him just doing a kill count. It made me wish he’d go back and give them the proper Kill Count treatment, so I’m damn happy that he’s doing exactly that.
      I’m sure his little joke about people “complaining” about the Recounts in this very video is satirical either way, he knows that his fan base is extremely supportive and just wanted to poke some fun.

    I love James' subtle nods to 80s/90s culture throughout. The way he said "buttocks" was a nod to Forest Gump. The empty apartment after Maggie died was an Empty Nest reference (cuz Dinah starred in the sitcom). The hilarious "mad dog" nod from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The Labyrinth reference and "baby" from David Bowie's groovy song. And the nod to Gage from Pet Sematary with "no fair no fair" when Andy had the scalpel.

      It kinda makes me want a version of the kill counts for other genres, preferrably other genres that, like Horror, aren't given the hollywood spotlight nearly as much but deserve much more love than they get. What comes to mind are mainly Musicals, Animation, and Comedy movies.
      EDIT: I know Animation specifically has a lot of channels that look at movies, but almost all of them focus solely on the end product and very rarely dive into the behind-the-scenes info like we get from Dead Meat.

      I would make the point that other than by title of movie- the remake has nothing to do with the series- thus never breaking its continuity. This is further evidenced by the fact that had you changed the title- it would not feel like a Chucky movie. Had they replicated multiple character names and plot points then yeah it’d break cannon but the fact that it’s it’s own movie with the same name (like two songs from different decades and artists that sound nothing alike having the same name) just means that a studio got lazy somewhere.
