Episode 5 of PoppedCast brings horror to the table, as Josh is joined by JJ, Reiley and special guest Aaron to unpack two very different releases: Backrooms and Scary Movie 6.
From the rise of creepypasta horror to the return of one of cinema’s most recognisable parody franchises, this week’s episode looks at how horror is evolving, why internet-born filmmakers are breaking into the mainstream, and whether comedy horror still has the same bite it once did.
What’s Featured In PoppedCast Episode 5?
The first half of the episode focuses on Backrooms, with the team discussing Kane Parsons’ move from YouTube to feature filmmaking, the film’s found footage approach, and how its success reflects a wider shift in the horror genre. The conversation then turns to Scary Movie 6, covering the return of the Wayans family, Anna Faris and Regina Hall, the film’s biggest parody targets, and whether the jokes land in a modern horror landscape. The episode also looks ahead to where the franchise could go next, including the possibility of Scary Movie 7.
