Podcast 199: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge

One, Two, Freddy's Coming for You… but This Time, He's Coming Out Into Our World.

Freddy’s back, and this time he’s slashing his way into something a little different. In this slicing episode Don, Jon, and Ken sink their own claws into A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, the sequel that took a sharp left turn down subtext lane.

Is this movie an underappreciated horror classic, or just a confused mess with a sweaty gym coach and a pool party gone wrong? The guys break down Jesse’s possession arc, Freddy’s bizarre real-world rampage, and that now-infamous bedroom dance scene—because nothing says horror like aggressive hip thrusts in tiny shorts.

From the not-so-subtle innuendos to the lackluster dream kills, the boys ask the hard questions: Why is Freddy breaking into reality? What’s up with that exploding parrot? And why did nobody care that Grady threw his Grandma down the stair?

With sharp humor, heated debates, and a whole lot of wink-wink analysis, this episode is a must-listen for horror lovers and Elm Street fanatics alike. So grab your pool floaties and lock your bedroom door—because Freddy’s coming, and he’s bringing revenge.
