In this episode, I chatted with filmmaker Kyra Elise Gardner—writer, producer, editor, and director of Living With Chucky. Gardner’s documentary is more than a chronicle of horror’s most infamous doll; it’s a deeply personal exploration of the creative family behind Chucky and the sacrifices that brought him to life.

Through intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes stories, Gardner weaves together the legacy of the Child’s Play franchise with her own upbringing in the shadow of the killer doll. The result is a film that balances blood-soaked fun with heartfelt reflection on art, family, and fandom.

👥 Featured Interviews In Documentary
  • Brad Dourif – the legendary voice of Chucky, reflecting on decades of inhabiting the doll.

  • Jennifer Tilly – on her iconic role and the joy of embracing Chucky’s camp and chaos.

  • Alex Vincent – sharing his journey from child actor to lifelong member of the Chucky family.

  • Don Mancini – creator of Chucky, discussing the vision, risks, and resilience behind the franchise.
