Happy Pride Month! The "Scream" series is fueled by nostalgia for the late 1990s. It was a moment in time that evokes the deepest feelings of home for many fans. There is a strong overlap in fandom between people who love "Scream" and the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." There are spiritual, cultural and literary connections between the two entities. Join Ryan and Patreon member Kevin Abner to discuss "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Sarah Michelle Gellar, and LGBT representation in the series, and how it all relates to "Scream."

Episode 054 - Screentime Data for "Scream" (2022) May 31, 2022

Show notes

One of Ryan's greatest obsessions is the screentimes of the characters and actors in the "Scream" films. He previously covered the screentimes of the first four films in an episode last November. This week, Ryan reveals the data on the characters and actors in "Scream" (2022). This is the first time Neve Campbell does not have the most screentime in a "Scream" film, and it is the smallest amount of screentime each of the trio has in the history of this franchise. Listen to the latest episode with Ryan and Patreon member Fran Perez for the comprehensive look at how much each character has an impact on "Scream" (2022).

Episode 052 - Wes Craven's Legacy May 24, 2022

Show notes

Being a fan of "Scream," in most cases, means being a fan of Wes Craven. The master of horror, Craven became a household name when he created Freddy Kruger in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in 1984. While Freddy Kruger may be one of the most iconic villains in horror film history, Craven's greatest work most probably occurred in his telling of Sidney Prescott's story in the four "Scream" films. In between Freddy and Kruger, Craven made many films. In this episode, Ryan and the first Patreon guest, Cory Wilson, discuss his legacy and briefly rate each of Craven's films.

Episode 051 - Gale in Scream 2 May 17, 2022

Show notes

"Who is this?" "Gale Weathers, author of 'The Woodsboro Murders.'" When we are reintroduced to Courteney Cox's character in "Scream 2," she has grown even more cutthroat, career-driven, and self-centered than who we met in the original film. However, through her interactions with other survivors, including David Arquette's Dewey Riley, she undergoes an enormous personality and human transformation through the events of "Scream 2." Join Ryan and podcast contributor, Amar Karim, to discuss Gale and Dewey's character development in "Scream 2."

Episode 050 – Sidney in Scream 3 May 10, 2022

Show notes

"Psychos can't kill what they can't find." Sidney Prescott says this line of dialogue to her father at the beginning of "Scream 3" as she hides out in a secluded area under an assumed name. In "Scream 3," Sidney is not only dealing with the trauma and paranoia that is a consequence of the first two killing sprees, but she also wrestles with unanswered questions about her mother's life and murder. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss Sidney's deep, psychological, emotional storyline and character arc in "Scream 3," which Ryan argues solidifies the legacy of Sidney Prescott as the ultimate "Final Girl" in horror movie history.
