197 - Scream 7 Predictions & Patrick Dempsey News Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Scream 7 directed by Kevin Williamson, starring Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, is now two weeks into production. Last week, a bombshell was dropped when it was announced that Patrick Dempsey will not play Sidney's husband in Scream 7. Sidney's husband will not be Mark Kincaid but rather a new character named Mark Evans played by Joel McHale. Ryan discusses these dynamics as well as the return of Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks. Then, Ryan is joined by Justin McArthur to discuss predictions for Scream 7. Ryan and Justin outline their predictions for which characters (and actors) will survive and die in Scream 7, as well as who is the killer or in the opening scene. Note: There are no spoilers in this episode, rather projections about the new movie and the dynamics within the cast of characters as we know it now.

195 - The Death of the Requel and Scream 7's New Hope Jan 07, 2025

Show notes

We begin the new year with an essay written by Ryan about how the requel formula was an unsustainable way to dominate most franchise slasher movies in the modern day. Ryan recalls a essay from Episode 69 which described many concerns about the requel format, many of which came to bear. Ryan reads through his essay about how the requel formula has slowly died since 2022 and a new era of horror is emerging around "Scream 7." Then, Jess Melendez joins him to muse over the philosophy and ideas presented in the essay.
