Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

Send us Fan MailThis week we're working the night shift to check out Five Nights at Freddy's (2023). We debate the quality of its characters, dissect the craftsmanship of its animatronics, and consider how well the film upholds the legacy of its predecessor. In this episode's b-side, we uncover the unsettling origin tale of Chuck E. Cheese, sift through an article cataloging Chuck E. Cheese's darkest moments, and Sean lets us in on he has handled overly-specific food orders in his past. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 32:59.Mentioned in the EpisodeWatch the MovieFive Nights at Freddy's (2023)Main EpisodeFive Nights at Freddy's - Game How Jim Henson's Creature Shop Helped 'Five Nights at Freddy's' Director Helm a Horror Film With a Kid FollowingMike Schmidt - BackstoryB-side The Story of Chuck E.
