Hello Pretty Little Podcasters Listeners! Ben here! I just wanted to introduce you to my new podcast called The Cinematic Defenders! On it, I (along with different special guests each episode) come to the defense of movies that have a bad wrap. We come at these movies with fresh eyes and optimistic hearts! On the premiere episode we are watching Man of Steel and I am overjoyed to have the wonderful Mike Schmidt and our very own Marissa (who was a Superman movie virgin before this podcast) as my premiere guests! 
I really hope you guys enjoy it and if you do, I would be overjoyed if you subscribed! You can find the show on iTunes. You can also subscribe directly via the RSS feed at http://cinematicdefenders.libsyn.com/rss.

{BONUS} The Cinematic Defenders

We are a podcast that breaks down each new episode of your favorite guilty pleasure and ours, Pretty Little Liars! We talk everything from the head turning fashion to the all too glaring plot holes. But, make no mistake, what we do we do from love!

TV & Film

Okay, so... technically this is more like an episode of Pretty Little Screamers where we theorise about what's going to happen when the inevitable Scream VII AKA sixth sequel comes along, but we promise there is some discussion of Scream VI ...somewhere in this podcast. Granted, we do spend an extraordinarily long time debating our own rankings and fighting to the bloody death about who (*cough* Tom McNab *cough*) is right, and who (*cough* Ben Tahija *cough*) is wrong when it comes to where Scream 2 deserves to be ranked. Thankfully, Chelsea White is here to keep us all level headed, setting the record straight and letting it be known that in the year of our lord and saviour, Beyonce, 2023, there is absolutely no goddamn way these teenagers are listening to "Blow The Whistle" at a college fraternity party!? Whatever, Alicia, let's get our murder on. It's a Scream, baby. I'll be right back!

Scream 6 (2023)

Ol' Saint Nicky isn't the only one dashing through in white and red today, as a bloodstained Ghostface is BACK to terrorise your Winter! Our Pretty Little Screamers, Tom McNab and Chelsea White, have assembled to watch the teaser trailer for Scream VI and share with you all of their immediate thoughts, reactions, and theories - trust that they STU over every possible detail from the franchise and won't leave you JILL-ted when it comes to speculating whose ROMAN around New York!!!

Scream VI Trailer Reaction

They Night They Came Home. But it's day time and only one of them is at home and, ya know what, this reference works as well here as it does in this show. Anyway, Melissa & Ben are back to discuss the first five episodes of season one (aka what is sure to be the only season) of PLL's latest incarnation, Original Sin! We've watched five hours of this show so find out with us if we can name the main characters! We can name a bukake of movie references contained in this show, at least. We also reminisce about OG PLL and how much we have wiped from our minds about it, except a certain man and his Ghost Jeep. The first person to be a guest on our show and just overall spectacular human being April Richardson needs a helping hand right now, as we all do from time to time, so please show her some kindness: https://ko-fi.com/aprilrichardson/

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (first half of season one)

It's summer, so you know what that means - we're getting in Shape! The Shape, to be more specific, as a new Halloween trailer was released. When we say this is a teaser trailer, we really mean it, they're edging us good! So we spend most of the time talking about our thoughts on Halloween Kills (spoilers, duh), before leaving you with a little "treAt" for what's in store next time on Pretty Little Podcasters.

Halloween Ends Trailer Reaction

It's been an honour! Like the ghost of Billy Loomis, Ben has reappeared in our lives and on the pod! Along with Chelsea White and Tom McNab, they discuss all the minutia of Scream 5 AKA Scream 2022 AKA 5cream (we're talking mondo spoilers, bonehead)! What exactly is the backstory with Tara and Sam's mother? How do you pronounce Babadook? And going forward in the franchise, can we please just normalise Ghostface having boobs, 'kay?!
