šŸŽ¬ Welcome back to Weā€™re Too Literary! šŸŽ¬

ā€œImagine a toy so advanced, youā€™d think it was built by the masterminds behind Terminator. Jonathan couldnā€™t help but laugh at the thought of a LEGO piece causing the apocalypse as we dive deep into the chaotic world of ā€˜M3GAN.ā€™

This episode is an explorative dissection of 2022ā€™s M3GAN, where we discuss everything from malfunctioning AI to the eerie charm of Purrpetual Petz. Tune in as we debate the movieā€™s slasher elements, relive our childhood trauma from horror classics like ā€˜Leprechaunā€™ and ā€˜Blade,ā€™ and suggest improvements to M3GANā€™s malfunction scene. What if M3GAN was more responsible and driven by a sense of purpose? And how about those safety protocols? We cover it all, including setting preferences and potential crossovers with the Terminator and Chucky franchises.

Of course, we couldnā€™t stop brainstorming a sequel where Meganā€™s consciousness wreaks havoc in a theme park, potentially elevating the slasher narrative to new heights. Whether itā€™s critiquing character motivations, giggling over the impracticality of dangerous wet toys, or imagining a more gruesome series of events, we leave no stone unturned.
