It Go Up

Episode 64: It Go Up Prompts: Crimson, 1514, Scream Part two of our first-ever split episode experiment! Last week, Lauren took us deep into Raphael, the Renaissance bromance, and a corrupted file fiasco. This week, Neal takes the mic to resurrect horror—literally. Neal dives into Scream (1996), the Wes Craven–directed, Kevin Williamson–penned meta-slasher that saved an entire genre. From the true-crime story that inspired it to the 12-year-old who convinced Craven to direct, this one’s packed with the behind-the-scenes chaos that made Scream a cult legend. You’ll hear how Drew Barrymore changed horror history, how the Weinsteins nearly fired Wes Craven over the dailies, and how a random Halloween store mask became Ghostface. Plus:🎬 The voice actor who turned “What’s your favorite scary movie?” into an icon📺 Why Scream led to Dawson’s Creek💀 The NC-17 fight, the infamous Santa Rosa school board snub, and why “Faster, better, more blood” became the mantra on set Lauren gets her dad’s porch-side review (spoiler: “No likey”), and the curators debate couple costumes, haunted house plans, and the perfect fall shower window breeze. Let us know if you’re liking our new “one topic per curator” format—it’s an experiment, but we’re here for it!
