Scary Movie (2026) with horror director Dale Craven & Hugh McStay
from Don't Call Us Shirley! A Parody Movie Podcast · host Film Stories
Welcome to DON'T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, proudly sponsored this time by Not This One, because Latham didn't bother getting a sponsor this week. 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, following coverage of the original Scary Movie, they return to examine the new Wayans brothers-led 2026 'rebootquel'. Joined again by horror director Dale Craven (the reports of whose death are greatly exaggerated) and Modern Horror (that's 'Modern Horror') co-host Hugh McStay, they look at how this influential horror parody works in a modern 2020s lens; whether the Wayans successfully manage to lampoon the trend for nostalgia and legacy stars and characters; and whether the rapid fire jokes in any way land. Will it measure up to the Scary Movie legacy? Will the ShirleyVerse's own Ghostface return? And just who lies behind the mask? Find out! Host / Editor A. J.
