[PREVIEW] 🎙🧚‍♀️ #101 - Scream 6

No matter how many times these peanut-eyed-ghost-mask-wearing psychos get killed, they just won't stay dead. Some new psycho (and their plus one) always takes up the mantle, rents the same Halloween costume, downloads the exact same Roger L. Jackson voice modulator app and takes a stab at it, usually in retaliation for a previous psycho. "Maybe THIS time the recurring plan to [needlessly] fake one of our deaths and frame one of our victims will finally succeed!" Spoilers, it doesn't. I mean, THERE'S the solution if you want to do something new - don't relocate to New York - let Thanos WIN, and then regroup in the next film and ENDGAME Ghostface's twin butts! But also, if you insist on doing Scream Takes Manhattan, make better use of the locale than a subway car and a Kwik-E-Mart! Have Ghostface chasing them round the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink or up the Statue of Liberty - "Give me your tired, your poor, and I'LL GUT THEM LIKE A FISH!!!" Ah, no one listens. Discussed in this episode: The dwindling number of "Dream" songs to parody The Scream franchise's frustratingly bungled numbering system The untreatable psychosis of someone who would rather stab Samara Weaving to death than take her to dinner An unexplored plot thread: the difficulty of making new friends when your past friends were famously eviscerated Ghostface's vintage, implausibly-distressed grunge mask The "Ghostface = nepo-baby" connection Nick Cave (and presumably the Bad Seeds) getting paid royalties every time someone makes a new Scream movie and goes low-effort on the soundtrack Scream 7: Sahara Something you would be unlikely to find in a New York apartment: a long stepladder. Candyman's three competing backstories The characters somehow knowing Gale's home address immediately upon hearing it Missed opportunity to have THREE Ghostfaces on screen at once Several characters conveniently disappearing into the phantom zone because they're not required for the ensuing scene Irresponsible films that fail to realistically depict the extreme agony of being stabbed in the gut - agony that would still be felt ten/twenty minutes after the initial stabbing and would absolutely preclude laughing, cracking jokes or leaping casually into the back of a mother$@%&ing ambulance. Jenna Ortega screwing her castmates out of a job by demanding too much money for Sc7eam (aka my story idea for Sc7eam) (if you want to sync it up to the film, we hit PLAY @ 5:59)
