🤮 We are finally delving into the classics, starting with none other than William Friedkin's The Exorcist. Based on the novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty, this supernatural heavy was one of the horror pioneers of the 1970s, and is considered by many to be the scariest movie of all time... or at least of its time. Join us as we analyze the symbolism woven throughout the cinematic tapestry, decipher the hidden meaning behind some of the film's strangest scenes, discuss the mythology of Pazuzu and their destructive influence on the in-movie's universe, and of course choose which character we think was most deserving to die.

❔ Was it Billy or Stu, Mickey or Mrs. Loomis, Charlie or Jill, and so on? One of the hottest debates amongst fans of the Scream Franchise is which killer was on the other end of the call or behind the mask for each kill. So in this SUPERSIZED episode, we are getting into the nasty little details of which killer we think was being the mask for every scene in Screams 1, 2, 4, 5 (and even 3, if there was a hypothetical second killer) and yes, there will be disagreements. Stick around til the end where this week's Cherry Picker will instead focus on which franchise character we would have liked be revealed as a Ghostface killer.

👰‍♀️ Now that Radio Silence has taken over the directorial mantle of the Scream franchise that was once held by Wes Craven, we thought we'd revisit their previous effort to get a better feel for their unique style. In this episode we'll compare Ready or Not to Scream (2022), talk about how we think Ready or Not is aging very nicely after 3 years, talk about how this movie puts a spin on a classic, do a rundown of Grace and the Le Domas clan to give you our take on each character, and of course, choose who we think was most deserving to die.
