Scary Movie (2000) with horror director Dale Craven & Dev Elson
from Don't Call Us Shirley! A Parody Movie Podcast · host Film Stories
Welcome to DON'T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, (not very) proudly sponsored this time by Matt Snaps, which definitely didn't fall off the back of a Nestle lorry. Hosted by A. J. Black and Matt Latham, Don't Call Us Shirley! explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way. In this episode, Tony chooses perhaps the most famous parody movie of the Noughties, Scary Movie. Joined by up and coming horror director Dale Craven and one of his biggest fans, podcaster Dev Elson, they discuss the arbitration genesis of this horror spoof that launched an entire franchise (set to soon return for a sixth outing); tackle the cast and jokes that may or may not have aged well; and wonder whether this film killed or saved the parody film. Do you like Scary Movie? Do you like scary movies? Do you wish I would stop asking questions? Find out! Host / Editor A. J.
