5 O'Clock Sweats

E004 - There's Something About a Clown


Listen Later

In this week's thrilling episode, The Sweats discuss horror movies while trying to make sure the word "horror" does not sound like a certain other word each time they say it. Ryan uses this topic as an excuse to talk about Jaws AGAIN, and reveals how the original Paranormal Activity scared him so much that he bought a night light. Derick talks about how good horror movies are the kind that stick with you, like how The Ring made him afraid of TVs for an undisclosed number of years. Chris talks about how effective camera work can heighten the terror in certain scenes and how he finds gratuitous gore icky. Derick coins the phrase "freaked my bean" while talking about The Nun (Maybe we make that into a T-shirt? Stay tuned). Ryan recommends a show for every cannibal enthusiast and Chris says he avoids all storm drains because of the movie IT. The Sweats close the episode by each naming their top three horror movies, and conclude that old people in scary movies are objectively terrifying.
