267 – How Neve Campbell Became the Leader of the SCREAM Franchise ('Father Figure')

In this episode inspired by Taylor Swift's new song "Father Figure," Ryan lays out how Neve Campbell became the leader of the SCREAM franchise. Ryan describes Neve's contributions to the series, and step-by-step the recent history of SCREAM: How Wes Craven was the leader of the first 20 years of the series; how only Neve could have filled his shoes; how the Radio Silence era lacked a true leader; how the studio and creatives would not allow Neve to fill this role on Scream (2022); and how Neve inherited this role by taking the risk and standing alone to save the franchise in Scream 7 during a rocky time.
