About this episode

Adam Scott discusses his new films and love of horror in an interview at SXSW.

Adam Scott stops by The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW to talk about a packed year that includes two new films – the suburban thriller The Saviors and the haunted-hotel horror Hokum. In conversation with David Fear, Scott dives into his deep love of horror, the intense reaction to Severance’s Season Two finale, and why Hokum clocks in at “one thousand Shinings” on the scare scale. He also touches on his music-nerd podcast with Scott Aukerman and whether he’ll ever revisit his Greatest Event in Television History recreations. Learn more about your ad choices.
