About this episode

Adam Scott and filmmaker Damian McCarthy discuss their psychological horror film 'Hokum', exploring themes of reality and illusion.

Adam Scott teams up with filmmaker Damian McCarthy for Hokum, a slow-burn psychological horror that leans into atmosphere, tension, and the unsettling space between reality and illusion. McCarthy brings his signature eerie tone, crafting a story that feels quiet on the surface but constantly creeping underneath, while Scott delivers a performance that balances vulnerability with unease. It’s the kind of film that doesn’t rely on jump scares—it gets under your skin, builds patiently, and leaves you questioning what’s real long after the credits roll.
