They’re digging into why the Sanderson sisters are the ultimate gay icons, whether Bette Midler’s chaotic camp energy single-handedly carried a franchise, and why those cursed-looking teeth prosthetics are a main part of the movie’s charm.The hosts debate the sibling dynamics, questioning whether Dani might actually be the worst sister ever and if Emily was lowkey terrifying. Finally, they ask the age-old question: why did they say “virgin” so many times in a Disney movie?

The Screen Queens are lit-erally screaming as they kick off spooky season with the ultimate horror-comedy cult classic: Scary Movie. In this episode, they’re breaking down the cultural role of parody, debating how far is too far, and why the “gay villain” trope needs to finally retire. Jack admits he has no clue who one of the film’s biggest stars is (and that he has basically no pop culture knowledge pre-2005). They explore why the Wayans Brothers sat out the sequels, if modern viewers would get the jokes, and whether Scary Movie 6 can live up to the original madness. But the biggest question on their minds-did this movie age well, or is it gloriously frozen in early-2000s absurdity?
