Wes Craven’s SCREAM revitalized the horror genre, introduced irony to a generation of moviegoers and inspired three sequels and a TV series. But is it still that great? Is it still relevant? Is it about anything other than being “meta?” This week on CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold delve into the entire SCREAM franchise to talk about what makes it work and why it’s one of the most important horror franchises in history!

Plus: Reviews of the new releases VENOM and THE HATE U GIVE, two films with nothing whatsoever in common except that they both came out on the same weekend.
