SCREAM Revisited (part one)
from The Pod and the Pendulum Hosted by Mike Snoonian
Ahead of the fifth installment, this week we go all the way back to the beginning and take another deep dive into the movie that gave the horror genre a serious shot in the arm in 1996. It's no secret that SCREAM is one of Mike's favorite movies and franchises, and he's never going to skip an opportunity to talk about it. Sometimes it's fun to go back and have a do-over. This week he's joined by Brian Keiper (Movies for Life podcast, Bloody Disgusting) and Elbee (Grumpire.com) to talk about this slasher. We covered the making of the movie and behind the scenes drama fairly deeply during out first go round, so this time we focus on the characters. Is Randy due a revaluation in 2022? Where does Sydney rank among horror heroines? What do we make of the motivations of Billy and Stu? We also talk about Scream's place in horror and the movies that sprang up in the wake of its success. We give our predictions and what we'd love to see in Scream 5. Of course, no discussion of Scream would be complete without a discussion of Wes Craven, the man who helped define the direction of horror in three seperate decades.
