We interrupt our regularly scheduled mini-series with a BONUS FEATURE as we return to the Scream franchise for a look at its latest entry, 2022’s SCREAM.

11 years after Scream 4, following the death of Wes Craven and the dissolution of the Weinstein Company, the Scream franchise was looking for a new home and a new life. Enter writers James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick and directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett aka Radio Silence fresh off of 2019’s Ready or Not, a critical darling that gave them the clout necessary to bring Ghostface back to cinemas.

Can the Scream franchise survive without Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson? Did Nick & Scott enjoy their return to Woodsboro? Find out in this deep-dive conversation!

Spoilers begin at 00:33:28.
