Episode 76 - Scream 6

Oh, to remember Scream. The tongue in cheek self awareness. The revival of a certain kind of slasher. The thrill of a sequel which rivaled or even exceeded the quality of the original. Fast forward to 2023. 27 years later. What remains is a hollow shell of a once exceptional vessel. A few of the characters from that fond original still remain; despite decades of attempted murder by a who's who of Ghostfaces. Other than that though, there's not much that ties Scream 6 to Wes Craven's beautiful beginning's in Scream (1996.) As we dive into the latest entry into the Scream franchise we talk all this and more. What is it about Scream 1 and 2 that set them so distinctly apart from unremarkable horror of their time? What did Scream 6 get right? Is the star power of the new leads enough to carry this franchise into new territory? This is a lot to unpack. Crack open a couple of cold ones with us, leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and let us know what you think we should review next.
