The Deadbeats are back… and Ghostface is still living rent free in our heads. 🔪

This week, Will and JT dive back into the Scream chaos as we gear up for the release of Scream 7. We’re breaking down our wild (and probably unhinged) predictions — who’s surviving, who’s definitely not making it past Act 2, surprise returns, plot twists, secret killers, and the one theory that might actually make sense.

Will swears he’s cracked the code.
JT thinks everyone is Ghostface.
Nobody is safe.

If you love the Scream franchise as much as we do, this episode is packed with laughs, hot takes, and questionable logic that would make even Ghostface roll his eyes.

Hit play, lock your doors, and let’s get into it.
