This week on the Screen Love Affair Podcast, Shea and Brandon break down two major releases: Train Dreams and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

They explore why Train Dreams hits so hard emotionally, how its cinematography elevates the story, and why watching it at home simply doesn’t compare to a theatrical experience. They also dive into Rian Johnson’s latest murder mystery, discussing the surprising character depth, visual style, and the clever writing that continues to keep this whodunnit franchise feeling fresh.

Using these films as a jumping-off point, the conversation expands into the broader state of streaming versus theatrical releases, including Netflix’s disappointing lack of theatrical distribution, the value of audience reactions, and why all movies deserve the big screen.

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.
