You would have to be living under a rock to have not heard of M3GAN (check out our review HERE). The killer doll has absolutely taken the world by storm and provided a horror villain for Generation Z. I can’t count myself amongst the fans of the film, but I understand why everyone seems so smitten over it. I was lucky enough to sit down with director Gerard Johnstone (who made the criminally underrated Housebound) as well as star Violet McGraw to pick their brains about the killer doll. We discuss MEGAN 2.0 as well as a certain parting gift that the filmmakers gave MEGAN herself, Amie Donald. Check out the interview above!

One of the interesting things about talking to Johnstone was the fact that you can get a real sense that he knows and appreciates what a bonafide cult phenomenon the character of M3GAN has become. While he acknowledges that a M3GAN vs Chucky movie might happen at some point playfully, he also pitches M3GAN joining the Fast and Furious crew. Heck yeah – why not!

Did you like M3GAN? Do you think the unrated version that streamed on Peacock was better? Let us know in the comments!

She’s more than a toy. She’s family. And now she’s Unrated. The M3GAN UNRAT3D VERSION is yours to own on Digital and Blu-ray today!
