What Andy doesn't know is that Chucky is possessed by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), who is actually trying to transfer his soul to be in Andy's body "till the end".

The film follows the titular characters (Peter Falk and John Cassavetes), two childhood friends and small-time mobsters that have to reconcile who they were with who they are now.

This was yet another film I saw as I was preparing for a podcast episode on Pre-Code films and this was certainly a pretty solid example of what Pre-Code is.

Carlo, the short film, follows the titular character (Hans Knaepen), a simple guy that works in a slaughterhouse who, because of a stroke of bad luck, finds himself in the middle of a case of mistaken identity with some criminals.

However, a couple of months ago, I saw and enjoyed the Pixar short film The Legend of Mor'du not even knowing it was tied to this.

But as is usual in any film he's in, Paxton is the scene stealer as he adds layers to this character, beyond all the enthusiastic "happy pup" hollers he gives now that he feels like a "real cop".

The short film follows two couples Bridge & Kara (Bridge Stuart & Taylor Misiak) and Jamison & Ashley (Dustin Hahn & Julia Bales) as they meet for brunch at a Peruvian fusion restaurant with Moroccan pots.

Whether it is Joe trying to "write" a new story to his "character" by working for Norma, or Norma putting up live shows for Joe - the Norma Desmond Follies - while Max makes every single effort to "direct" and orchestrate Norma's life the way he feels more convenient.

Plus, in the midst of it all, the film has a perfect cast that knows exactly how to carry this film.
