Child’s Play if Chucky slayed.

The vitals:
Thursday, June 5
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ M3GAN

Cultural anxieties around creepy dolls and iPad babies collide in M3GAN, but rather than a boring, moralizing screed about parenting in the age of AI, director Gerard Johnstone and writer Akela Cooper dare to ask: what if the only real problem with the robot babysitter is that it, like, murders people?

The result is a delightfully self-aware, gloriously camp exploration of technology-fueled alienation under late stage capitalism, starring a murderous American Girl doll in a pussybow.
