415: Black Phone 2 (2025)

This week we're answering the call of Black Phone 2 (2025). We examine the emotional depth of its characters, analyze the effectiveness of its supernatural elements, and critique the film's cinematography and dream sequences. In this episode's b-side, we discuss the logistics of phone scams, share our own thoughts on phone-related horrors, and debate the plausibility of ghostly phone calls. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 34:18.
