Episode 122 - The Scream 3 Assembly Cut Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

This week Ryan flys solo (for the first time in the history of the podcast) to analyze the "assembly cut" of Scream 3. Recently, Scream-Trillogy.com made the October 1999 "assembly cut" of Scream 3 available to fans, with more than 30 minutes of extra, unseen footage of the the third film in the franchise. Included in this version is "ground zero" of all the scenes filmed by Wes Craven before the editing process began and the final film was shaped. Ryan analyzes the assembly cut and provides commentary into why things were rightfully cut from the theatrical film and which scenes should have been included in the final product.

Episode 119 - Scream 4 Deleted & Extended Scenes Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

No other Scream film has suffered in the editing room in the way Scream 4 did. More than a dozen scenes were left on the cutting room floor and several sequences were reshot. There is more than 20 minutes of film left out of the final cut, nearly 20% of the film's runtime. The result is Scream 4 was the shortest film in the series despite having the largest cast. In this episode, Ryan and a panel of guests investigate the deleted scenes and assert which scenes should have been included in the final cut of the film.
