SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers

View Details

In this episode, Ryan and Anthony cover the big news items connected to the world of SCREAM from this summer. They discuss the viral online gossip and false information spread about Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson on Instagram, and her involvement in SCREAM 8.

Additionally, Ryan and Anthony muse about Jasmin Savoy's Broadway debut in "Hadestown" this fall, and how that likely means SCREAM 8 will not film until early 2027. With some space before production gets underway, Ryan provides the result of polls conducted about which character fans most want Scream 8 to focus on: Sidney, Gale, or Tatum. The decisive results provide a clear path forward.

Ryan and Anthony also exchange views on Neve Campbell reuniting with the Party of Five creators on the HBO drama "The Shore," the plans for Paramount and Warner Brothers to develop a new "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film after years of anticipation, and Christopher Landon's adaptation of "The Final Girl Support Group" novel and Scream Queen casting speculation.

Then, Ryan performs this week's '30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions' Interview with longtime Patreon, Sarah, followed by the first Taylor Swift Song of the Week in season six, "I Bet You Think About Me," a vault track from "Red (Taylor's Version)."

Skeet Ulrich recently shared that the original plan for Scream 5-Scream 6-Scream 7 was for Billy Loomis to slowly turn his daughter and main character, Sam Carpenter, into the Ghostface killer. While, Scream 7 reverted the storyline back to Sidney Prescott, this news puts into perspective odd choices about Scream 5 & 6 and an uncomfortable trend in modern horror films' messaging.

In this episode, Ryan is joined by Jacob from the Happy Horror Time podcast to discuss the problematic nature and execution of Sam Carpenter's development in Scream 5 & 6, her strange morality about murder, and how it speaks to the larger culture.

Then, Ryan is joined by Amar, Josh, Sarah, and Ashley to debate the concept of Sam as Ghostface in the hypothetical Scream 7 film we almost had: Would Sam have faced off against Sidney, the good final girl vs. the bad final girl? Would we have seen Sam stalking her slasher victims, or would the film have taken a "Fight Club" subjective approach?

Ryan spent the last two years unflinchingly standing in solidarity with Neve Campbell and the Scream franchise, and supported continuing on with Scream 7. A vast majority of fans believe the trailer for Scream 7 is terrific and this entry has some of the greatest potential ever in the series due to the talent involved.

However, in an effort to display objectivity, this episode explores potential red flags of Scream 7 and what could go wrong despite the high hopes and optimism.

Ryan focuses concerns on the identity of Ghostface and his/her motive, while Jess Melendez worries about the big-picture relevancy of Scream 7 in a chapter of Sidney's story. In the introduction, Anthony Dapuzzo (Never Split Up podcast) shares fears of Scream 7 playing into the modern trend of easter eggs.

"The Final Scream," the third and final spec script written LA-Times best-selling writer, Joe Vallese, will be released on the SWRCS podcast on December 19, 2025, on the heels of the Scream (1996) anniversary and the holiday season.

This script follows "Scream 7" (the end of the Carpenter sister era, episode 112) and "Screams (a Gale-centric script, episode 155).

"The Final Scream" completes this SWRCS trilogy by focusing on Sidney's family (two younger daughters, unlike Tatum in the upcoming Scream 7) and her marriage to Mark Kinciad (not Evans, like in the upcoming Scream 7).

The plot is: Sidney Prescott's sense of peace and security is unmoored by the revelation of a dark secret - and a slew of new Ghostface murders hitting too close to home.

We hope this script provides some closure to the Sidney/Mark Kincaid fans since Patrick Dempsey did not return for the feature film releasing in February.

"The Final Scream" is emotional and contemplative, yet it's also epic and wide in scope. Gale Weathers also assumes an important role and the arc of the film ties into the fabric of the original trilogy.

Like the past two scripts, "The Final Scream" will be read aloud by Ryan like an audio book and released as a podcast episode. The script itself will be available to Patreon subscribers Tier 2 and above to read.

We hope to see everyone on December 19 for the premiere!

Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega will not reprise their roles of Sam and Tara Carpenter in “Scream 7.” Barrera was let go of the project due to her comments about the Israel/Palestine conflict, according to the studio. Ortega bowed out of her obligations due to scheduling conflicts for “Wednesday” season two. Variety reported “Scream 7” is being re-written for a focus on the legacy storyline of Sidney Presott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), and Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey). Some fans are threatening a boycott of “Scream 7” if it is not canceled in solidarity with Barrera’s political stance. This week, Ryan performs the podcast solo to discuss the current events, the experience of the news last week, and the future of Scream.

No other Scream film has suffered in the editing room in the way Scream 4 did. More than a dozen scenes were left on the cutting room floor and several sequences were reshot. There is more than 20 minutes of film left out of the final cut, nearly 20% of the film’s runtime. The result is Scream 4 was the shortest film in the series despite having the largest cast. In this episode, Ryan and a panel of guests investigate the deleted scenes and assert which scenes should have been included in the final cut of the film.

Gale Weathers and Courteney Cox made horror movie history with Scream VI. She is now the most featured horror heroine to appear consecutively in all the films in the series. She is now the only actor to appear in each film in the entry, a trend that broke for Neve Campbell and Sidney Prescott. In addition, Courteney Cox won a MTV Movie Award for her phone call and chase scene in Scream VI. And yet, this is perhaps the most controversial writing for the character in the series. Many fans have taken issue with how incomplete Gale’s arc is, how regressively she is written after an epic evolution in the first five films. Join Ryan with Joey Vallese and Briana Beeman to dissect Gale in Scream VI.

One of the trademarks of the SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers podcast is Ryan’s particular affinity for “Scream 3.” And while “Scream 3” has become more popular in the fandom in recent years, the concluding chapter in the original trilogy was plagued with divisive opinions upon release and in subsequent years before “Scream 4.” Ryan has dedicated so much of this podcast to championing “Scream 3.” In this episode, he is joined by Josh and Justine from the Scream Queens Podcast to discuss the evolution of Scream 3 by public perception and how various aspects of the film will be permanently controversial and how others have been reconsidered.

Scream was known as the self-referential film that cineaphiles loved because their knowledge and interest of film was validated. The best avatar representing the meta aspect of the original film is Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy). In Scream 3, we were introduced briefly to his sister Martha (Heather Matarazzo). In the Radio Silence era, the bloodline continued with his niece, the horror movie expert Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and nephew, the jock with a heart of gold Chad (Mason Gooding Jr.) taking on central roles. This week, Ryan and Patreon guests take a analyze at the Meeks family collectively and the individual characters. In addition, Andre Felix, the editor of Zack Cherry’s podcast, The Cherry Picker, joins Ryan for the introduction for a mini battle: Scream 5 v. Scream 6.

Hayden Panetierre’s return to the fan-favorite role of Kirby Reed in “Scream VI” injected a certain amount of excitement and hope in fans last summer during the rocky production of “Scream VI” after Neve Campbell announced she would not return to the franchise due to a pay dispute. Kirby was the perfect avatar to make fans excited again. In this week’s episode, Ryan is joined by Kirby expert Justin to discuss the execution of Kirby’s return to “Scream” and analyze her character development after her fate was uncertain for more than ten years after “Scream 4.” In addition, Ryan and Justin discuss the possibility of Jenna Ortega’s busy schedule conflicting with “Scream 7” and what that could mean for the next film.

The continuation of the SCREAM franchise is inevitable. The massive financial success of “Scream VI” ensures “Scream 7” will be made and the Ghostface legacy will live on.

Join Ryan this week in this epic, podcast-defining episode as he and guests discuss possible release dates, whether or not Radio Silence will return for a third film, which of the ten surviving characters should return, and the potential direction of storyline and narrative of Scream 7.

Two slasher films have utilized New York City as a setting for its story, “Scream VI” and “Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan.” Since New York is so sparsely used in horror slasher movies, it makes these two sequels notable and marketable. In this Patreon episode, Ryan and a panel of SwRCS Patreon members review and compare/contrast “Scream VI” and “Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan,” and the way these films utilize the New York setting. In addition, host of The Cherry Picker and Youtube sensation, Zack Cherry joins Ryan for the introduction where they speak about the placement of “Scream” (2022) in the franchise since “Scream VI” released.

Happy release week of “Scream VI,” Screamers! One of the most valuable aspects of "Scream" as an elite horror franchise is the complex, ever-evolving relationship between its two insurmountable heroines over the first five films, Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. They started out as enemies; punches were thrown before they began to hug one another to say hello. But massacre after massacre allowed them to understand each other in a way unlike anyone else, even the common link between these two women, co-survivor Dewey Riley. This week, Ryan unpacks the relationship with a panel of enthusiastic Patreons who bow down to the legendary characters and relationship created by Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox over 25 years. In addition, Ryan briefly covers Oscar predictions for the ceremony this coming weekend.

Welcome to the battle of the non-trio survivors in the original "Scream" trilogy. Randy Meeks and Cotton Weary are two of the most important characters in the original run of the "Scream" franchise. Cotton is indelibly intertwined with the story arc of the first three films and Maureen Prescott. Randy is the fan favorite, the person the horror fan watching Scream was supposed to see themselves in. They each survived a set of Ghostface killings and then bit the dust in the following round of murders. Join Ryan and a group of Patreons in the smackdown between these two characters on the following: Overall Preference; Better Written Character/Character Arc; Better Death Scene; and Better Acting Performance (Liev Schrieber or Jamie Kennedy).

Happy Valentine’s Day! The "Scream" film series may be a meta-slasher-who-done-it about Sidney Prescott and how her mother's past comes back to haunt her. But alongside the genre-blending cleverness and final girl narrative, there is a parallel storyline across the franchise that is a love story between journalist and author, Gale Weathers, and the deputy-turned-Sheriff, Dewey Riley. And it is a love story that could challenge the likes of “Titanic” in its epic scope, emotional strength, and complexity. For a Valentine's Day special, join Ryan and a slew of Patreons for an episode detailing the love story of Gale and Dewey, the parallel real-life relationship and marriage of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and thoughtful questions about the hypotheticals of these characters.

Long before Jamie Lee Curtis graced “Halloween” in 2018, reviving her role as Laurie Strode and being blended into a new narrative with a younger cast, “Scream” did the exact same thing eight years earlier. Sidney, Gale, and Dewey return to lead a new cast ensemble as the “legacy” original cast members. Functionally, this allows “Scream 4” to push forward a brilliant commentary on the remake culture of the 2000-2010s. However, “Scream 4” also continues their storylines after what we saw in their happy endings at the end of the third film. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss how they use the trio in “Scream 4.” In addition, Alley joins Ryan in the introduction to send well wishes and thanks to Albert Padilla, who has produced and edited all 92 episodes of this podcast to date, as he pursues other adventures.

Ten years had passed since we last saw Sidney Precott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley united at the end of “Scream 4.” For better or worse, they have changed a great deal. Additionally, in the fifth film, they function differently than ever before, taking a break from driving the story and rather supporting a new plot in the franchise. In “Scream,” they take on the roles of the legacy characters in a requel or legasequel. This week, Ryan and Amar venture into the drastic changes in the lives of the beloved “Scream” trio and evaluate the success of the character arcs and the performances by Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox. For the introduction, Ryan is joined by Doug Evasick. Ryan and Doug give twenty horror films released in 2022 a thumbs up or thumbs down.

In the final episode of SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers in the year of 2022, Ryan has a jammed packed show. First, Ryan covers additional thoughts about the “Scream VI” Teaser Trailer with Joey Vallese. Ryan and Joey additionally muse about Courteney Cox’s work as Gale Weathers and her role as a Scream Queen in the horror genre. In the second half of the episode, which is available exclusively for Patreon subscribers, Ryan is joined by Ryan Young and Amar Karim for a Ryan2 conversation about Sarah Michelle Gellar. Most people know her as the 1990s Scream Queen (Cici Cooper, Helen Shivers) or as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But there is so much more accomplished acting work to her career, many of which Scream fans may not know about. Ryan, Ryan, and Amar evaluate every project in Sarah Michelle Gellar’s filmography. Ryan encourages horror fans who are excited for return to TV in “Wolf Pack” this January to utilize free time exploring her lesser-known films, such as “Veronika Decides to Die” (drama), “The Air I Breathe” (drama), “The Return” (genre/thriller), “Possession” (genre/thriller), “Suburban Girl (romantic comedy), and “Southland Tales” (genre/science fiction).

The teaser trailer for “Scream VI” (official title) was released Wednesday, December 14, after months of anticipation and speculation. Unlike the trailer for “Scream” (2022), this was brief, vague, and only contained a handful of cast members in one sequence. The new Woodsboro survivors (Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding Jr., and Jasmin Savoy Brown) are stalked on a New York City subway on Halloween night. The trailer does not feature Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers or Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed. Join Ryan and a group of Patreons, including Amar Karim, Ryan Young, Cassi Grachien, Roy Garza and Jake Lubbehusen for reactions and predictions.

"Scream" has always been a franchise of final girls. Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers are two of the most consistent, quality characters in any horror franchise of all time. They are legendary for not having one, uninterrupted, consecutive character arc without their storyline ever. Most "Scream" fans assume they are the final girls of all final girls. In today's episode, the Showersheads put the Scream Queens up against the likes of the other top tier final girls in the cinematic landscape: Laurie Strode from "Halloween," Ellen Ripley from "Alien," and Nancy Thompson from "A Nightmare on Elm Street." In addition, each of the Patreon guests highlights one other final girl that stands out as special to their brand of horror. To conclude the episode, Ryan is joined by Michael Schwartz to briefly discuss and review Todd Field’s new film “Tar” starring Cate Blanchett.

“Not in my movie!” Those are the iconic final words of Sidney Prescott in the original “Scream” film, declaring that she will not let the actions and terror inflicted by her boyfriend will define her life. Over the course of the first chapter in the horror franchise, the audience is introduced a young woman who is trying to make sense of her trauma a year after her mother was murdered. Soon after she is harassed and attacked by a masked killer, Sidney’s life is again thrown into upheaval. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss how Sidney grows from a meek teenage girl preyed upon by her boyfriend to a fierce young woman who breaks all the textbook “final girl” rules. In addition, Ryan is joined by Jamie Acorn to introduce the episode and Chris Saint to conclude the episode, both of whom share their Scream stories and participate in the Speed Round.

"Halloween" has served as the blueprint for "Scream" in many ways. However, the most similar aspect of these two film series rarely gets its due. "Scream 3," which was designed to close out the storyline of original trilogy bares a striking resemblance to "Halloween H20," which in many ways forms the end of a Laurie Strode trilogy after the films in 1978 and 1981. Both films feature a prominent survivor from a previous film killed in the opening scenes. Each of the films end with an epic sense of finality. But more importantly, the character arcs of Sidney Prescott and Laurie Strode each reach their apex through parallel emotional and character beats. Join Ryan and a group of Patreons to discuss the parallels between "Scream 3" and "Halloween H20" for this Halloween special. To conclude the episode, listen to the first “Ryan2” segment with Ryan, Ryan Young and Amar Karim. They discuss the recent events surrounding “Halloween” alum Scot Taylor Compton and Danielle Harris meeting Jamie Lee Curtis at the “Halloween Ends” premiere.

It’s the end of an era. Last week, “Halloween Ends” was released theatrically and streaming on Peacock. Jamie Lee Curtis’s portrayal as the original final girl, Laurie Strode, has come to a close and yet the final entry to David Gordon Green and Blumhouse’s new “Halloween” trilogy has been met with polarizing reactions due to daring narrative choices in regards to Michael Myers. Join Ryan for an episode dedicated to “Halloween Ends.” Michael Schwartz joins Ryan first for a brief introduction discussing Jamie Lee Curtis and “Halloween” (1978) followed by Ryan reading an essay and review of “Halloween Ends.” The episode concludes with a panel of Patreons who provide a variety of perspectives on the film overall including final trilogy rankings.

Adam and Jose are both passionate fans of the TV series. This episode aims to give the TV series a fair shake, despite the several controversies that surround the approach the show took, namely dropping Ghostface i n favor of a new mask and ignoring the universe of the film series. Ryan weighs in on the effectiveness of each season, his evolved position on the show over the past decade, and its placement within the larger "Scream" franchise.

“No one takes the true fan seriously, not really.” One of the most refreshing aspects of “Scream” (2022) is the motive of the characters who wore the Ghostface costume and carried out the third murder spree in Woodsboro, California. This episode of SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers dives in deep into the characters of Amber Freeman and Richie Kirsch, and the performances by Mikey Madison and Jack Quaid. Ryan is joined by Patreon member Roy Garza for this discussion about the most recent killers in the “Scream” series. For the first half of this episode, join Ryan as he sits down with Joey Vallese, who wrote the "Screams" opening featured on the premiere episode of the SwRCS Patreon. Joey has edited a queer-horror anthology titled "It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror" that is available now to purchase online and from major retailers. His book is a collection of essays from queer academics who relay how certain horror films have shaped their identities, reading in between the lines to find representation when queer representation was not overtly on the page.

SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers has always functioned as a nostalgia machine for the late 1990s and early 2000s. It comes with the territory; the people who love "Scream" and the films that were influenced by the original trilogy have certain passions for this era in horror films that audiences today have for the post-"Get Out" elevated horror films. Joining me for a Patreon episode to analyze this period in time is Steve Testa of the Horror Stans Podcast. Ryan and Steve rate each slasher film from the "Scream" era from 1-10. Additionally, there is a bonus conversation that includes a discussion about a potential Buffy reboot. Ryan weighs the reality of a Buffy reboot with a group of Patreon Buffy super fans.

This week, Ryan hosts the Emmy-nominated director of “Yellowjackets,” Karyn Kusama, and her husband screenwriter, Phil Hay. The husband-wife filmmaking duo are genre film legends, with their most recent collaborations as “The Invitation” (2015) and “Destroyer” (2018). Slasher fans may be familiar with Kusama’s work as a director with “Jennifer’s Body” (2009). “Destroyer,” starring Nicole Kidman, is one of Ryan’s favorite films. In addition, Ryan is joined later on the show by two Patreons, Ryan Young and Joey Noberini. Ryan often puts forth pro-Sam Carpenter sentiments on this podcast. However, because she is a divisive figure, rounding out the debate about the character felt necessary. Ryan Young brings a dissent to Sam Carpenter, while Ryan C. Showers provides a rebuttal. The episode is introduced by Joey Vallese, a recurring guest on the podcast. His upcoming queer-horror book, “It Came from the Closet,” features an essay on “Jennifer’s Body,” which makes Joey well-suited to introduce Kusama and Hay.

The “Requel” became synonymous with “Scream” (2022). However, it was Blumhouse that standardized a formula that “Scream” (2022) utilized, something which revived not only the Ghostface series from an eleven-year hiatus but revitalized the horror-slasher genre in general. The formula worked wonderfully in “Halloween” (2018) and “Scream” (2022), but the cracks that began to appear with the release of “Halloween Kills” (2021) are now becoming bigger flaws as we approach the release of “Halloween Ends” (2022). The formula was a great launching pad, but the problems with the scheduling and financial model are even perhaps affecting “Scream 6” with Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. Join Ryan as he reads aloud an essay he penned about this exact topic, followed by a discussion with a panel of Patreons about the cracks and flaws in the requel formula and legacy cast members.

"You are pathetic!" This week Ryan hosts actress Nancy Anne Ridder for a discussion about her work in the original film. Ridder portrayed the Girl in Bathroom in Scream (1996). Despite having about 60 seconds of screentime, her scene with Leonora Scelfo as the cheerleader has gone down in history books as iconic. Nancy shares stories from the set, working with Wes Craven in her scene and as a body double for screen tests, and filming the original film in Santa Rosa. Ryan psycho-analyzes the Girl in Bathroom, the cheerleader, and how the scene has impacted him as a gay man. There is a brief reunion between Ridder and Scelfo at the beginning of the episode with Ryan. Also, Josh from Scream Queens Podcast joins Ryan for a brief introduction.

This week, six Patreons join Ryan in the introduction to discuss the leaked “Scream 6” title, as “Scream II” or “Scream !!” Additionally, the group weighs in on the “Scream 6” casting of Samara Weaving of Radio’s Silences “Ready or Not.” For the main episode, Ryan hosts Sasha Stone as a featured guest. Sasha runs the website AwardsDaily.com, which is the awards show/film website where Ryan was first published and began his career as a film content creator. In this episode, Ryan and Sasha reflect on their relationship, Film Twitter, and old-school horror films like "The Shining" and "Rosemary's Baby." Most importantly, Sasha wrote, narrated, and appeared in "The Summer of the Shark," a visual essay about "Jaws" in Netflix's "Voir." Sasha's work about "Jaws" is similar in spirit to Ryan's deep connection with "Scream" -- different generation, same experience. Sasha shared a story about a real-life experience with none other than our queen, Neve Campbell. Sasha also weighs in about Neve/Scream 6, as someone with knowledge of the industry and who is outside the Scream bubble.

“I’m a director, Sid. I direct. You’re going to pay for the life you stole from me, Sid. For the mother, for the family – everything you had should have been mine.” Roman Bridger was revealed as the mastermind who helped put into motion the events of the original trilogy as well as being the franchise’s only killer who worked alone in a film. He has a divisive reputation among fans – his fanbase is enormous, but Roman is also cited by people who criticize “Scream 3” as a flawed killer.

Additionally, join Ryan, Joey, and Justin in an introduction on Hayden Panettiere’s interview with People Magazine about her return to the franchise, Courteney Cox’s first set appearance on “Scream 6,” and Neve Campbell’s denial of rumors about future involvement in the next film.

Being a fan of “Scream,” in most cases, means being a fan of Wes Craven. The master of horror, Craven became a household name when he created Freddy Kruger in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984. While Freddy Kruger may be one of the most iconic villains in horror film history, Craven’s greatest work most probably occurred in his telling of Sidney Prescott’s story in the four “Scream” films. In between Freddy and Kruger, Craven made many films. In this episode, Ryan and the first Patreon guest, Cory Wilson, discuss his legacy and briefly rate each of Craven’s films.

"Psychos can’t kill what they can’t find.” Sidney Prescott says this line of dialogue to her father at the beginning of “Scream 3” as she hides out in a secluded area under an assumed name. In “Scream 3,” Sidney is not only dealing with the trauma and paranoia that is a consequence of the first two killing sprees, but she also wrestles with unanswered questions about her mother’s life and murder. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss Sidney’s deep, psychological, emotional storyline and character arc in “Scream 3,” which Ryan argues solidifies the legacy of Sidney Prescott as the ultimate “Final Girl” in horror movie history.

“What’s your favorite scary movie?” These words literally defined a generation of horror movie fans. And the helm of this question was Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker. No matter who you talk to about “Scream,” there is almost not an instance where the 1996 original film is discussed without the resounding adoration for the opening sequence where Casey Becker gets a phone call, watches her boyfriend get murdered, and is fatally attacked herself. It is considered one of the greatest openings to any film in history and set the bar so high, arguably nothing in the “Scream” series has been able to top it. Join Ryan and guest Gerald Morris (host of the “Two Peas on a Pod” podcast) to discuss in-depth, Drew Barrymore’s involvement, the shocking opening scene, and the character of Casey Becker.

When Wes Craven passed in 2015, many of us thought we would never see another “Scream” film again. However, in 2019, Paramount Pictures announced that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (who along with producer Chad Villella make up “Radio Silence”) would be the new intrepid directors to direct the fifth entry in the franchise. Earlier in 2019, Matt and Tyler directed the comedic horror film “Ready or Not.” The film was successful with critics and at the box office. Join Ryan to discuss “Ready or Not” in depth, and how this film could inform and foreshadow critical aspects of the new “Scream” movie. Matt Neglia, Dan Bayer, and Josh Parham appear as the panel of film critics and reunite with Ryan for the first time since his time at NextBestPicture.com.

Kirby Reed became one of the most legendary characters in the “Scream” movie franchise when “Scream 4” premiered. To this day, fans are still enthralled by the performance Hayden Panettiere gave as the tomboy, somewhat androgynous horror movie lover. She was ahead of her time. Due to the fact there has never been a confirmation about the status of Kirby’s attack, fans regularly debate whether she survived the ending of “Scream 4” or if she died. And "Scream 5" may not even tell us the answer and avoid the topic altogether. Join Ryan and guest TJ Finecey (host of @GothamOutsiders) to discuss Kirby the Great, a once-in-a-lifetime character.

“I’m going to blame the movies. It’s cool, huh? It’s never been done before.” The late 1990s were plagued with a debate, “Do movies encourage violence?” Scream 2 grabbed that issue by the horns and made it a centerpiece in the arc of its narrative. Mickey Altieri’s motive is the most unlike any of the other six people under the Ghostface costume. He wanted to have this public debate about violence in cinema. Join Ryan and guest JJ Hodges to discuss Mickey Altieri, his motive, the public discourse, and impact of his reveal as a Ghostface killer.

“What’s a matter, Sid? It looks like you’ve seen a ghost.” Scream is unlike other horror franchises. Whereas Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, and Jason Voorhees are the central figures in each of their film series, “Scream” is separated because it is driven by Sidney Prescott who is haunted by Ghostface. In each film, someone new is revealed to be under the mask. Join Ryan and guest Rene Gonzalez Jr. as they discuss the antagonist at the heart of the “Scream” film series, Ghostface, and the legacy of the famous costume, killers, and voice.

The horror genre oftentimes glosses over the trauma its characters experience. Or horror films depict trauma in the most extreme sense that renders the commentary useless. However, that’s not the case with “Scream.” Join Ryan and guest Zacary Landolt (host of “In Another World” podcast) to discuss the manner and effectiveness of the way the “Scream” series portrays trauma with its heroine, Sidney Prescott, her mother, Maureen Prescott, and other surviving characters in the series.
