Is It Still Scary? A Podcast by 5-Second Films
-
- TV & Film
Since 2008, the LA-based filmmakers known as 5-Second Films have churned out unique, lightning-fast micro-comedy and sketches, with thousands of videos netting millions of views. Working with performers from Patton Oswalt to Weird Al Yankovic, the group has since expanded their repertoire to include podcasts and their 2015 feature film debut, "Dude Bro Party Massacre 3."
The podcast "Is It Still Scary," hosted by 5SF's Brian & Maria, takes a small panel of film enthusiasts and dives into horror movies from every decade and subgenre, to determine whether their ability to scare has waned over the years, or if they're as chilling as ever. The discussion is wide-ranging, thoughtful, lively, and sometimes completely off-topic in the best of ways.
