Adam and Jose are both passionate fans of the TV series. This episode aims to give the TV series a fair shake, despite the several controversies that surround the approach the show took, namely dropping Ghostface i n favor of a new mask and ignoring the universe of the film series.

"No one takes the true fan seriously, not really." One of the most refreshing aspects of "Scream" (2022) is the motive of the characters who wore the Ghostface costume and carried out the third murder spree in Woodsboro, California. This episode of SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers dives in deep into the characters of Amber Freeman and Richie Kirsch, and the performances by Mikey Madison and Jack Quaid. Ryan is joined by Patreon member Roy Garza for this discussion about the most recent killers in the "Scream" series. For the first half of this episode, join Ryan as he sits down with Joey Vallese, who wrote the "Screams" opening featured on the premiere episode of the SwRCS Patreon. Joey has edited a queer-horror anthology titled "It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror" that is available now to purchase online and from major retailers. His book is a collection of essays from queer academics who relay how certain horror films have shaped their identities, reading in between the lines to find representation when queer representation was not overtly on the page.

SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers has always functioned as a nostalgia machine for the late 1990s and early 2000s. It comes with the territory; the people who love "Scream" and the films that were influenced by the original trilogy have certain passions for this era in horror films that audiences today have for the post-"Get Out" elevated horror films. Joining me for a Patreon episode to analyze this period in time is Steve Testa of the Horror Stans Podcast. Ryan and Steve rate each slasher film from the "Scream" era from 1-10. Additionally, there is a bonus conversation that includes a discussion about a potential Buffy reboot. Ryan weighs the reality of a Buffy reboot with a group of Patreon Buffy super fans.

This week, Ryan hosts the Emmy-nominated director of "Yellowjackets," Karyn Kusama, and her husband screenwriter, Phil Hay. The husband-wife filmmaking duo are genre film legends, with their most recent collaborations as "The Invitation" (2015) and "Destroyer" (2018). Slasher fans may be familiar with Kusama's work as a director with "Jennifer's Body" (2009). "Destroyer," starring Nicole Kidman, is one of Ryan's favorite films. In addition, Ryan is joined later on the show by two Patreons, Ryan Young and Joey Noberini. Ryan often puts forth pro-Sam Carpenter sentiments on this podcast. However, because she is a divisive figure, rounding out the debate about the character felt necessary. Ryan Young brings a dissent to Sam Carpenter, while Ryan C. Showers provides a rebuttal. The episode is introduced by Joey Vallese, a recurring guest on the podcast. His upcoming queer-horror book, "It Came from the Closet," features an essay on "Jennifer's Body," which makes Joey well-suited to introduce Kusama and Hay.

The "Requel" became synonymous with "Scream" (2022). However, it was Blumhouse that standardized a formula that "Scream" (2022) utilized, something which revived not only the Ghostface series from an eleven-year hiatus but revitalized the horror-slasher genre in general. The formula worked wonderfully in "Halloween" (2018) and "Scream" (2022), but the cracks that began to appear with the release of "Halloween Kills" (2021) are now becoming bigger flaws as we approach the release of "Halloween Ends" (2022). The formula was a great launching pad, but the problems with the scheduling and financial model are even perhaps affecting "Scream 6" with Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. Join Ryan as he reads aloud an essay he penned about this exact topic, followed by a discussion with a panel of Patreons about the cracks and flaws in the requel formula and legacy cast members.
