The "Scary Movie" Franchise And A Wayans Family Recipe

NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".  This week we review the "Scary Movie" franchise. There are five movies total. These films parody popular horror movies. The formula is simple-- throw in as many horror movie references as possible, invite as many B level actor/celebrities as possible, and make as many jokes as possible (the cruder the better).  The first two movies were written by the Wayans brothers. Keenen directed both and Shawn and Marlon starred in both. They parted ways with Miramax/Dimension Films before the third. The Weinsteins then brought in David Zucker. He's the writer and director behind such hits as "Airplane!" and "Naked Gun". He brought along his friend Leslie Nielsen.     This week's recipe is a Wayans family recipe for banana pudding from Kim Wayans. See the recipe on the CBS site here Photo Credit: Here
