Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney, Charlene Lydon and Bren Murphy, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.
This week, the second season of Don Mancini’s Chucky.
A year after Chucky’s monstrous killing spree, teenagers Jake, Devon and Lexi are trying to get on with their lives. Jake and Devon struggle to maintain their relationship as they move between foster homes, while Lexi tries to numb her trauma through drink and drug. However, on Halloween night, it becomes clear that while Jake, Devon and Lexi might have thought they were finished with Chucky, the killer doll is far from finished with them.
At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best television shows of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
