In this episode of The Acting Out Podcast, Trev, Dave, and Shea break down Black Phone 2, Ethan Hawke's supernatural return as everyone's favourite dead serial killer. We get into the Christian summer camp setting, the VHS-style dream sequences, and why this sequel somehow makes sense… even when it absolutely shouldn't.
We talk:
• Kids getting tossed around kitchens and stuffed in pizza ovens
• The camp owners dropping the most passive-aggressive "I'll pray for you" ever
• Why horror sequels struggle to stay grounded
• Whether this franchise can—or should—continue
• Trev's former life at a Christian retreat (don't ask)
It's chaotic, unhinged, and weirdly thoughtful. Classic us.
Listen in as we argue, overthink, and somehow still recommend the movie—just make sure you watch the first one (unlike Shea)
