About this listen

Shea and Brandon are away this week on the Screen Love Affair Podcast, but Adriana is joined by special guest host Ty to dig into Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, a sequel possessed by lore, fan service, and a fandom eager to cheer at every reference. But does any of it make for a good movie?

They break down the film’s reliance on FNAF deep-cuts, the challenges of adapting such dense lore, the limits of its PG-13 rating, and the audience experience during their screening(s).

From wide gaps in acting talent to rushed plot points to missed opportunities, Adriana and Ty explore why this sequel feels more like a checklist for fans than a cohesive horror film.
