Scream (1996)


Listen Later

What's your favourite scary movie? Join us as we talk all about this incredible achievement in movie making that absolutely should not have worked. Drew Barrymore, David Arquette, and Matthew Lillard bring these self-aware characters to life in a genre bending mystery that will make you laugh and tremble the whole way through. Wes Craven brings his horror experience and then completely flips everything on its head. We dive into why the unique tone works, the origins of the ghostface mask, the many ways this film almost didn't happen, and much more! We like to have fun, BUT IF YOU DON'T PRESS PLAY THEN WE'RE GOING TO GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!
