An uneasy aspect of podcast technology is that y'all can hear me gush about Jennifer Tilly's terrific turn in Seed of Chucky instead of my merely chicken-pecking effusive prose. Try not to think less of me as that much heaving cleavage over an 86-minute running time -- compounded by oodles of grue and gut guffaws -- would surely fell any CineSchlocker. Instead, fixate on Ms. Tilly her-salivatory-self thanks to yours truly's secret stash of audio from Comic-Con.
