Lesson 453: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 - Second Shift (Spoilers)

The power is out, the vents are noisy, and The Filmlosophers are back! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Sarah are using their deep video game knowledge to give their full, unreserved thoughts and opinions on the recently released sequel from Blumhouse, Five Nights at Freddy's 2.

The crew dives headfirst into the new, improved (and withered) world of the second Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location. They'll dissect everything from the overwhelming jump scares and the increased animatronic count (hello, Mangle and Marionette!) to the film's attempts to weave in more of the intricate, often confounding, game lore. They'll debate whether the sequel managed to fix the pacing issues of the first film and if the inclusion of the '87 storyline truly paid off.

But before the final shift ends, Eddie pits Sarah against Spencer in a demanding new game segment: "Know Your Nerdology!" Using a challenging format, Eddie tests their brains by forcing them to recognize truly obscure video game characters from our past, making them choose between the correct game and a highly plausible, incorrect real game title. Expect some serious head-scratching and hilarious debates over gaming's forgotten legends!
