Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Where A Kid Can Be A Corpse Josh Hutcherson plays different hunger games at a second pizzeria that has child abduction and possessed animatronics on the menu in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. Are Chica, Foxy, Bonnie, and Freddy Fazzbear even more lethal now that they’re controlled by The Marionette, a forgotten telepathic mascot out to make neglectful parents pay?  And will crabby teacher Wayne Knight (Seinfeld) give an “F” to heroine Abby (Piper Rubio) for entering her ghostly friends from the first film as a science fair project?  Listen Now to find out what’s inside the podcasters’ heads.  {Video Game Series} {Five Nights at Freddy's}

Until Dawn

Grindhouse Day Five friends stranded at a sunken mining town must survive Until Dawn if they hope to escape a fatal time warp created by head shrinker Peter Stormare (Fargo). Does director David F. Sandberg (Annabelle Creation) help his horror movie feel more like a video game by hitting the reset button every time his cast is violently killed off, giving the characters another chance to go back and make different choices (yet always wind up on the sharp end of a scythe)? Or has the sand run out of the hourglass for PlayStation Studios? Listen Now and become a part of it!

Frankenstein (2025)

Father Knows Beast Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) fulfills his dream to bring Mary Shelley’s 1818 gothic novel Frankenstein to life as a 2025 Netflix creation. Does Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) play God just to get back at bad dad Charles Dance (Golden Child), or to impress failed nun Mia Goth (X), or because Christoph Waltz (Spectre) has funded the perfect mad scientist lab to fry up bits of fallen soldiers and executed prisoners?  And can any experiment be rated a success when it leaves Kissing Booth hunk Jacob Elordi looking like that!? Throw the switch to Listen Now!

The Running Man (2025)

America’s Got Tumult Glen Powell (Twisters) follows in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger by continuing the weird flex he began on a lethal reality show called The Running Man. Will TV producer Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) cancel his star contestant before he sparks a political uprising with prepper Michael Cera (Arrested Development)? And does Stephen King’s downer dystopian novel from 1982 still reward audiences in 2025 when re-told by playful writer/director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead)? Listen Now to hear the podcasters’ final words on this remake. 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/now-playing-the-movie-review-podcast/id259617791] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/662PBreZwyoDJxxyPpN4WE] | Amazon Music [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b1138d47-7629-40a0-b2e6-322702f4482d/now-playing---the-movie-review-podcast] | YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsWefnOnumbPJphsdymSEdQ] Android [https://www.subscribeonandroid.com/nowplayingpodcast.com/NPP.xml] | Podbean [https://www.podbean.com/premium-podcast/nowplayingpodcast] | Tunein [https://tunein.com/podcasts/Media--Entertainment-Podcasts/Now-Playing---The-Movie-Review-Podcast-p402034/] | iHeartRadio [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-now-playing-the-movie-revi-31065693/] Pocket Casts [https://pocketcasts.com/podcast/now-playing-the-movie-review-podcast/e3cf1500-1f36-012e-025d-00163e1b201c] | Podchase | [https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/now-playing-the-movie-review-p-3140] Radio.com [https://www.audacy.com/podcast/now-playing-the-movie-review-podcast-536c5] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsWefnOnumbPJphsdymSEdQ 🚩 Follow us: TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@nowplayingpodcast?lang=en] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/nowplayingpodcast] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nowplayingpod/] | Threads [https://www.threads.com/@nowplayingpod] | BlueSky [https://bsky.app/profile/nowplayingpod.bsky.social], | X (formerly Twitter) [https://x.com/NowPlayingPod]   💬 Join the Conversation: Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/nowplayingpodcast] | Reddit [https://www.reddit.com/r/nowplayingpodcast/]   ❤️ Support us: Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/NowPlayingPodcast] | Patreon Digital Shop [https://www.patreon.com/c/nowplayingpodcast/shop]
