Our first Special Edition of 2023 is sandwiched between our two recaps of last year. It makes perfect sense as we have been anticipating this movie for months. The first trailer was over the top and each one since has gotten sillier. By the time M3gan came around, we knew it was going to be one of the worst movies we saw this year or one of the best.
On the surface, the first big horror release of this year is not telling a new story. It is another addition to creepy doll sub-genre that has been around for decades. But M3gan has felt a little different from the beginning. It is clearly aimed at the younger generation and seems to have gone all in on style over substance. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can negatively impact an otherwise good film.
As it turns out, there is much more to M3gan than the trailers let on. There is a deep story here with some serious themes. We talk about how well it tackled its subject matter and whether audiences will be disappointed. We also discuss the target audience and who will get the most out of it.
As easy a streaming has made our lives, there is nothing like a great movie theater experience. We talk about the one we had when we watched M3gan and why it made the movie that much better. From the snappy one liners of the eponymous doll to some surprising moments, the right crowd can enhance the experience.
What is the future of M3gan? Based on the reaction, there is definitely going to be a sequel, but how will people respond? Was this just a one and done phenomenon or is M3gan the first horror icon for this generation? Is there room for more stories or did they do all they can in their first movie?
