Classic Movies Live – Season 4, Episode 40: Five Nights at Freddy’s
November 1, 2023
After almost a decade, the YouTube sensation from the one and only Scott Cawthon finally comes to the big screen! Five Nights at Freddy’s is in theatres now, just in time for Halloween!
Of course, our hosts were first in line to see the new film from Emma Tammi and Blumhouse, starring Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard alongside a host of Jim Henson animatronics! Is Five Nights, like The Super Mario Movie before it, the greatest video game movie ever made? Or are its scares as rancid as a child’s corpse? Tune in as Pierre and Jeff give their thoughts on Freddy, Chica, Foxy, and Bonnie!
For more behind the scenes of Five Nights, check out this video from The Film Theorists detailing what it was like on set!
This episode was produced during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labour of the actors currently on strike, the films being discussed in this show wouldn’t exist. To learn more about the ongoing strike, go to https://www.sagaftrastrike.org/
