-Welcome back! -Aah!
-Thank you so much for traveling all the way out here
to New York City. You had your premiere last night in L.A.
-I did. -Was it exciting?
-My God, it was so exciting.
And it was even more exciting when I forgot my ID
this morning at the airport.
-Yeah, and yet you still got on an airplane?
-At 4:30 in the morning. -Wow.
-I don't know why they let me on.
-Is it "Parks and Rec?" Do you think that's it?
-No. I don't -- There's like a secret --
I don't know if anyone is supposed to know this,
but you can totally get on a plane with no ID.
[ Laughter ] It's not a thing.
-Yeah, I don't people are supposed to know that. Yeah.
-Yeah, they just search every, like, crevice.
-Oh, they were --I got you. Well, they --
I'm surprised they let you on because you at your premiere --
I don't even understand how it works.
You wore a knife to the premier. -Yes, I did.
-And yet they let that person --
That person flew without ID this morning.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
Now, I didn't bring the burette to the airport, but --
-It's really cool. -Thank you.
-And were you aware -- So Chucky came out
when you were tiny. -Yes.
-The original Chucky. -Yes.
-And were you aware of Chucky as a horror film?
-I was. I didn't -- I wasn't, like, a big horror movie fan.
But I have a lot of cousins. And my uncles showed, like,
all my of cousins Chucky when they were, like, toddlers.
-Uh-huh. -Like 3 years old.
-Oh, yeah. -And it traumatized them.
-Yeah. -And I saw it, like,
not when I was 3, later on.
But it's just been, like, a thing in my family for so long.
-But it was very sweet. You had your cousins all come.
-Yes, I did. -You had a bunch of them.
-I flew out here from Philly. -That's great.
-We got real crazy.
[ Laughter ]
-They look both -- They look stylish.
They look -- -Oh, yeah.
-They also look maybe, like, they're a little traumatized
to be walking into a Chucky movie.
-I mean, they look, you know -- They're just partying.
What can I say? [ Laughter ]
They had blast. -This is not --
your Chucky is not a possessed Chucky.
This is sort of an AI-gone-wrong Chucky.
-Yes. This Chucky is a re-imagined Chucky.
He's an evil smart doll that's connected to the cloud.
So he can control all of your devices.
And it's kind of -- It's a warning...
-Yeah. -...to the world.
-You're being serious, because I think we are in agreement
in fear of robot technology. -Yes. Robots will kill us all.
[ Laughter ]
I think we're naive in thinking that these devices
aren't going to turn on us one day.
-Yeah. -I don't like them at all.
And it's part of why I did the movie.
-And do you have any of these devices in your home?
Do you have any smart devices? -Yes. I have some --
Yeah, my boyfriend is very into the smart home kind of thing.
He's connected all of our light bulbs onto the app.
-Uh-huh. -I have to talk to the thing
to turn things on, which I really don't like to do.
-Gotcha. -So I -- Yeah.
I basically was just like,
"You can do that to every light except for the one
that's right by my side of the bed
so I can just turn it on and off."
-You just want the old-school switch.
-Yeah. I don't want to talk to a robot.
I don't want to talk to a machine.
-Yeah. Certainly not right before bed.
You don't want the last person you talk to to be a robot
that you and I both believe is trying to kill us.
-No, I don't trust Siri or Alexa.
-No, I don't -- -They both sound evil to me.
-Yeah. And I think they talk to one another.
You know what I mean? -Yeah!
-I think when you go to bed,
your Siri and your Alexa get into it.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-Right? -Yes.
-You went to the "MTV Movie Awards,"
and you wore -- So they cut to David Spade during the show,
and you were in the shot wearing a Chucky mask.
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-Aubrey, are you telling me that's not you?
[ Laughter and applause ]
Be honest.
I'm giving you an opportunity right now.
[ Chuckles ] -I don't know who that is, Seth.
-Oh, I also -- That was -- That's not you.
-No. -This is not you at your best.
This is you at your best. Look at this.
When my "Cosmo" came this week...
-No! [ Cheers and applause ]
Stop! Don't! -I'm in it, too. I'm in it, too.
-Stop. Don't. -Look, there I am.
Just me on my thing.
[ Laughter ] Me on my boat.
Just rigging my boat up.
So Mark Hamill was the voice of Chucky?
-Yes. -He was the original
voice of Chucky, yes? Or no?
-When we were shooting, no.
-No, like in the -- Was he not the early?
-What? No.
No, he's Luke Skywalker. -I know that.
But was he Chucky in 1988? -No. Brad Dourif was.
-Okay, gotcha. -Chucky's a robot now.
-Oh, right. So he has a different voice.
-Yeah, Mark Hamill is doing, like, a robot --
evil robot voice. -Gotcha.
-But Chucky, yeah, no. -Okay.
-Chucky's not a possessed doll anymore.
-I know, we established that. -Okay, fine.
[ Laughter ] Whatever.
-What about Brian Tyree Henry?
-Brian Tyree Henry is the best. -He's the best, right?
-Yeah, I don't know why he did the movie because every time
I saw him on set he'd be like,
"I don't like kids and I don't like dolls."
[ Laughter ]
And I'm like, "That's literally all we have
for the next two months." -And this was not a CGI film.
You had a lot of practical dolls around.
-Yes. There was a lot of -- -Are you scared of dolls?
Like, I mean, again, it's not just dolls.
It's, like, this doll.
-Yeah, I --
I got used to the doll. There were, like,
nine animatronic -- there were nine different types
of dolls on set. And they were just --
They were super creepy. I wasn't scared of them.
But one of the animatronic dolls at one point,
its head started smoking. -Yeah.
-And the AD was like, "Get back! It's gonna blow!"
[ Laughter ]
And I was like, "Jesus!"
And its head burst into flames.
-Did it really? -Oh, yeah.
-That would have been a tough way to go.
"Yeah, did you hear what happened to Aubrey?
The doll blew up." -Yeah.
I also, like, did a stunt
where there's different kinds of dolls.
Like, some of them are, like, soft dolls for stunts.
And some of them are, like, hard dolls for whatever --
animatronic whatever. -Yeah.
-And I was, like, head butting the doll
and I didn't -- I'd forgot because
I was so into my character, that the doll --
that I wasn't using a stunt doll.
And head butted the animatronic doll.
[ Laughter ] Like, really, really hard.
And got, like, a golf ball-sized thing, or whatever.
-And that's -- I mean, that's why when the robots do take over
they're going to remember that. -Yes.
-And they're going to come for you first.
-Yes. -So you better wear
your knife barrette on that day. -Yes.
-Thank you for being here. It's always so great to see you.
-Thank you! -That's Aubrey Plaza, everybody.
