"What's your favorite scary movie?" These words literally defined a generation of horror movie fans. And the helm of this question was Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker. No matter who you talk to about "Scream," there is almost not an instance where the 1996 original film is discussed without the resounding adoration for the opening sequence where Casey Becker gets a phone call, watches her boyfriend get murdered, and is fatally attacked herself. It is considered one of the greatest openings to any film in history and set the bar so high, arguably nothing in the "Scream" series has been able to top it. Join Ryan and guest Gerald Morris (host of the "Two Peas on a Pod" podcast) to discuss in-depth, Drew Barrymore's involvement, the shocking opening scene, and the character of Casey Becker.

When Wes Craven passed in 2015, many of us thought we would never see another "Scream" film again. However, in 2019, Paramount Pictures announced that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (who along with producer Chad Villella make up "Radio Silence") would be the new intrepid directors to direct the fifth entry in the franchise. Earlier in 2019, Matt and Tyler directed the comedic horror film "Ready or Not." The film was successful with critics and at the box office. Join Ryan to discuss "Ready or Not" in depth, and how this film could inform and foreshadow critical aspects of the new "Scream" movie. Matt Neglia, Dan Bayer, and Josh Parham appear as the panel of film critics and reunite with Ryan for the first time since his time at NextBestPicture.com.

Kirby Reed became one of the most legendary characters in the "Scream" movie franchise when "Scream 4" premiered. To this day, fans are still enthralled by the performance Hayden Panettiere gave as the tomboy, somewhat androgynous horror movie lover. She was ahead of her time. Due to the fact there has never been a confirmation about the status of Kirby's attack, fans regularly debate whether she survived the ending of "Scream 4" or if she died. And "Scream 5" may not even tell us the answer and avoid the topic altogether. Join Ryan and guest TJ Finecey (host of @GothamOutsiders) to discuss Kirby the Great, a once-in-a-lifetime character.
