Surprise, Cindy, Do you need a minute?
Oh, Oh my gosh.
She looks like you need a minute.
I’ll wait.
Nice try Stew.
Mocker is dead.
Oh gosh, I’m going to agree to disagree with you there.
Oh my God, it’s so good to see you.
0:19
I always.
Had a thing for you, Sid?
It’s going to be so much fun, just like the old days, except now there’s no Billy or Randy or Tatum.
Speaking of whom, your daughter, her, her name’s Tatum.
That is so adorable.
I mean, it’s a little weird or whatever, but it’s super cute and.
0:38
And she is so pretty.
Do not talk about my daughter.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, I, I, I should definitely tell you though, I am currently outside of her high school theater.
Don’t you fucking dare.
0:55
It’s Showtime, bitch.
1:31
Hey guys, welcome back to the Blown Black Ron podcast.
I’m Ryan from closeblatation.com and I’m joined with my Co host Martin.
How’s it going?
Pretty good, pretty good we.
We’re back in the saddle again.
Yeah, we’re.
We are revisiting Rodger L Jackson’s voice today.
1:51
We’re reviewing Mortal Kombat 1 fire that no one likes.
That’s right.
No, no, we’re we actually made it out to the movie theater again, which is something that we don’t do often.
2:06
And at this time, movie had just released, you know, like what, like 3 days ago.
And there was about eight people in the theater this time.
Yeah.
It was nice so.
That’s crazy.
It was a yeah, it was a packed showing for for a Monday at 4:00.
2:23
That’s actually pretty busy, but.
We’re all, we’re, we’re all matinees now.
We don’t do the, you know, 7:00 showings.
You know that’s.
That’s right.
But before we get into the movie that we’re covering, we have some gripes.
We have some some things we need to talk about in terms of actual presentation at the movie theater, which again, we live in a small town.
2:49
We have one movie theater available to us like within, you know, close proximity.
So we don’t necessarily. 30 mile radius.
Yeah.
So we don’t necessarily see larger chains and how they present films.
3:06
So take this with a grain of saw.
This probably is happening more frequently in larger areas than we actually experienced.
But when we went, I’ve, I’ve never experienced this before, but we went to theater, you know, it was a 4:00 showing.
So we were there and actually I was almost late because I was, you know, I was coming from work and there’s traffic.
3:28
So I was almost late.
And I think I got there like right at 4:00 because I was really like looking at the clocks and like, oh man, I’m going to miss the the opening and I was getting a little nervous.
So we got in, you know, we had to buy our tickets and walk in and stuff like that.
It had to have been like four O 2, four O 3 somewhere around there.
3:47
And you know, by the time we got in, they guess they did start the trailers.
We saw a couple of shitty looking movies that are coming out to be honest with you, and nothing really stood out.
Scary Movie 6 was one of the trailers which, you know, in my opinion did not make it look glamorous or anything like that.
4:03
It did certainly.
Did they?
Did they even put the six on there?
I don’t think they did, I think.
No, they didn’t.
Yeah, I I think they’re normally putting the six in the VI, right, Like the movie part of the Scary Movie.
But I don’t think they did in this trailer.
It was kind of, you know, and everything about it seemed a little bit lazy.
4:20
But we’re not here to talk about Scary Movie 6.
I’m sure we will.
I’m sure we’ll see it.
Are you?
Calling the Waynes brothers.
I’m I was saying they’re lazy.
Seemed dated for that trailer I.
Oh, you, I, you know what I like.
I am interested to see that.
4:37
Not because I think it’s going to be good, no, but just to see how like like 30 years out Gen.
X style humor, you know, with the modern context.
It certainly seemed very dated from it from the trailer, but we’ll, we’ll see, right?
4:56
But we’re not here.
I’m not even here to talk about Scary Movie 6 in its trailer at the beginning.
And I’m not even here really to talk about trailers at the beginning movies because that’s always a thing, right?
And you know, there was a time where they might have shoved like 6-7 trailers into the movie, you know, the first part of the movie, which was excessive.
5:12
And I think we’ve cut that back a little bit and we normally get like two or three trailers, nothing outrageous, But after the trailers, we got a nearly 10 minute like EPK style, like electronic price kit style featurette about Scream 7, which, you know, in many circumstances I would be interested in watching.
5:39
You know, it’s these are like fodder that they know they need to film and RIP out for the Blu-ray, right?
So it’s like, you know, you need extras on the Blu-ray.
So they, they do these things prior to finishing filming and they just kind of like do them kind of half assed.
5:54
You know, I’m, I’m going to be honest, the, the most of the time these things are kind of half assed And they, you know, they just get the, the stars that are already on set to talk a little bit about how great the movie is and stuff like that’s fine.
There’s a, there’s a place for it on Blu rays and stuff like that.
But in this context, I’ve already bought the ticket.
6:10
It’s it’s comes across as very, you know, dinner in a movie or, you know, FX, like a DVD, like extras, like we were watching the movie that here’s a feature you can see on the DVD.
Like, no, you’re, you’re totally right.
6:26
You, you bought the damn ticket.
You don’t need.
Yes, we’re so happy to have Kevin Williamson back.
He’s a critical feature, a horror icon.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Yes, I agree with everything you’re saying.
6:42
And I can’t wait to see how people react to this.
Yeah.
Yeah, and that’s the thing too.
It’s it’s not like in depth, hard hitting background about the movie.
It’s not like, oh, remember when, you know, we used to have Jenna Ortega and we had to completely rewrite the film because we don’t have her anymore because Paramount decided they were going to axe her and Melissa Barrera?
7:03
No, we don’t have any conversation about that.
They don’t talk about that at all.
You know that that would be something really interesting to have at the beginning is like, yeah, we had to completely rewrite the script.
That’s why what you see is maybe seems a little bit lazy at times and maybe half assed.
No, we don’t get any of that.
7:19
Which is interesting because you’re right, that would be like more like, OK, like listen, when you’re watching this film, especially if you’ve seen the all the other ones and you’re like, and you’re into the franchise, you’re going to go, what the fuck am I watching?
7:36
Right.
And, and, and keep in mind, we had to fire Melissa Barrera because she dared to speak out about Palestine.
So, you know, you know, there’s no, there’s no talk of that.
It’s the same idea of how they really like just retcon the whole idea that Sydney was not in Scream 6 during that time period where they were like, you know, there was no discussion about like, no, we didn’t want to pay Nevada Campbell money.
7:59
No, you know, it was just like, for whatever reason, we’re not including her this time.
It’s like has nothing to do with money or anything like that.
It’s.
Wouldn’t that be funny if it’s like if it that wasn’t Scream 6, it’s like, hey, look, it’s never Sydney Prescott and she goes to New York for vacation.
8:18
Like, you know, like you think about, it’s like, how the hell do you, you know, true Horner and.
Yeah, I know.
And what I will say is that, you know, the, the idea of putting this this 10 minute featurette at the beginning before the movie even starts, like I said, for one thing is I’ve already bought the ticket.
8:37
I’m sitting in the theater and this featurette is trying to sell me on the fact that I want to see this movie and it’s like I’m already here.
I’m going to be seeing it.
I can’t go back out and get a a refund on my ticket here.
So I’m already going to be seeing it like save that, you know, spiel and the, the whatever, you know, concessions you’re making about why it’s not as good as you expected for the end of the movie.
9:00
Like maybe tack it on after the credits to be like, here’s why it’s maybe not as good as you were expecting, you know, but I feel like it was very unnecessary to make a sit there.
And I feel like the producers also knew it was unnecessary because they put a ticking clock at the top right corner of it to say like, listen, you’ve only got to sit through this for another 9 minutes.
9:22
You’ve only got to watch this Ice 9 Kills video for 5 minutes, you know.
If you don’t take that shit, go take it now.
Exactly.
It’s and I guess, you know, it kind of reminds of like the sort of, you know, drive in movie experience where they used to do this sort of thing like in between the films, like during the intermission, they might throw up like a nice, you know, like presentation or even just like a cartoon or something to like bridge the gap between the two movies.
9:48
But that makes sense because you’re doing intermission.
People are going to get, you know, concession stand food and they’re going to the bathroom and you know, stuff like that.
But people are leaving or pulling in.
But in this scenario, like, again, I’m already sitting there.
I do not want to be subjected to ice 9 kills in any scenario.
10:06
I definitely don’t want to be forced to be watching it when I’m in the theater watching this.
Really horrible music video that I, you know, I can’t get out of because they decided like, hey, we spent a lot of money on the rights to this stuff.
So like we we need to get our money’s worth like if you know what I mean, which again that I sign kills song was absolutely hard.
10:30
Just just really awful.
Like again, it reminded of the worst times of the early 2000s, like Evanescence, new metal phase.
And it was just really.
And again too, it just reminds you like this is like a 45 year old guy singing about like 15 year old problems.
10:48
You know it just I don’t know.
It was you say.
You say that as you sit with, well, we both sit earnestly awaiting, you know, American football fork, you know.
True, but he’s you know, he’s he’s he’s singing about 45 year old man problems dating back to when he was 15.
11:09
That’s there’s a difference, right?
Like these are these are long stemming therapy sessions and not not problems that he shouldn’t be having at 45 so.
Mine medicate has been cut.
Right, Exactly, exactly.
11:25
And and then, and then also like, so I guess I’ve really, we’ve really made our point like do not put these feature outs at the beginning of the movie like that unless you’re planning on them being shown literally 10 minutes prior to Showtime.
Like, OK, if it’s 350 and this is like the thing that you’re putting in to start before the movie begins and before Showtime.
11:45
And, and if people catch it, they happen to catch it.
But if not like, you’re not missing.
Anything.
Not only that, if you’re going to do that though too have you can’t have seven film trailers.
True also eating up 5 minutes.
I would say the way to do it if you were instead of having, you’re watching a Marvel movie, right?
12:04
You’re seeing the new, you know, Fantastic Four don’t have 7 trailers, 2 Verizon commercials and then a 10 minute.
Yeah.
Like if you’re going to do the vignette, then you don’t do it for that film.
Do it for like, hey, so coming down the line, we got Ant Man, Ant Man 4 coming out.
12:24
Here’s some of the behind the scenes.
You want you want to sell the next film, you want to sell the audience on the next film, not the one they’re already sitting in.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
I agree.
I, I feel like the, the idea is sound in that like you want to give some more background to the movie that they’re watching.
But like, this really just felt like an advertisement again to see the movie and, and I don’t really feel like it offered anything of value for us already sitting there waiting to see the movie.
12:51
And so and again, like I can’t speak to the fact that like maybe it was supposed to be prior to the Showtime or something.
But I will say our Showtime did not get started until like 4:30.
So that was like 1/2 an hour after the actual stated Showtime.
13:07
So then you know, in the movie is 2 hours long basically.
So now we’re we’re talking, I’m now out 2 1/2 hours of my time, you know, waiting for this movie to start.
So, so that’s, that’s our little, our little complaint about the way that movie theaters are are operating these sorts of things right now.
13:28
I think they thought it was cheeky and fun, but I did not see it that way.
Which also too they they had at our local theater.
Very rare, you know, raffle giveaway.
13:43
We had to put our name and phone number down further on our stub.
And I know you were very disappointed.
Yes, and I, I wish to be honest with you, looking back, I, I wish I didn’t do that.
I’d rather just we share in the prize.
13:59
You would rather not have the prize and be able to keep your streak alive of collecting movie ticket stubs, yeah.
You know it’s the same.
You probably could.
Have asked him for a different movie stub he probably had one back there he.
Probably no, because you know what he’s they’re probably like they’re on our ass, like real, like on track and like who’s going to see this?
14:17
It certainly did seem like it because they were really trying like, you know, this is a free giveaway, but they were almost at gunpoint.
You know, he, he pulled out the gun and was like, you’re going to write your name and your phone number down on there.
You know what he was saying.
It was not a request.
It was almost a, you know, it was like, no, you’re going to do it and we’ll enter you don’t worry about it.
14:39
Don’t worry where your phone number is going after this.
We will certainly enter you in this giveaway.
Yeah, it was funny.
And I, you know, there was definitely that pressure for you to submit your stub instead of being able to keep it because you already whipped it and put whipped out your wallet and put it in there.
14:54
And the guy was like, where’s your stub?
Well, I thought.
He is I I didn’t know it was on the stub when you wrote.
I thought he just gave a sheet of paper.
So I put it in my wallet and.
He’s like, hey you.
Gotta feel you gotta feel good for that.
It definitely did seem like there was some sort of like incentive or something to have shown how many people went to go see Scream 7.
15:13
I don’t know, I’ve never seen them do that before.
Interesting.
But yes, they were giving away a poster and maybe a little bit of other merch.
I think there was some merch that was released with this movie to to tie in if you went to see it and you could buy like a Scream 7 like T-shirt or popcorn bucket or something.
15:32
But our theater did not have that.
They they had I guess whatever, you know, wherever they got the from the distributor, they were sold out of that stuff.
So we didn’t end up getting it, which makes sense for the movie theater.
I mean, they’re never going to sell back the amount of stuff that they would buy.
15:48
So it makes sense.
But yeah, that it’s just like a whole merch tie in and everything.
So, yeah, so that’s without even talking about the film itself, which is obviously, as we’ve discussed Scream 7 or as I like to phrase it and and and use it in a sentence or name.
16:07
I like to say it’s spelled SCR 7:00 AM because, you know, we like to be doing those types of fun and, you know, artistic ways of stylizing sequels now, which I think they should have done.
16:23
Put that seven in the middle.
Yeah.
So anyway, I mean, getting into the movie itself, we went to see it.
We’ve we’ve seen Scream 5 and Scream 6.
16:39
Actually.
Did we see Scream 4 as well in theaters?
No.
We didn’t see that one in theaters.
Yeah, that’s right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it was.
It was kind of like after the fact that we ended up seeing it and like liking it and stuff.
I didn’t see because we didn’t, because that came out like right when we were graduating college, so we wouldn’t have caught it together.
16:56
But I didn’t actually even see that movie I think until like 20/13/2014.
It took me a while as well.
Because it’s like popped up on Netflix and like when they had all of them on there.
And I because you know, well known fact here, as we’ll discuss on here because we’ve covered all the other screams.
17:15
Scream 4 is right up there with Scream One for me is my favorite.
Highly underrated.
If you don’t like it, you’re a sack of shit.
I think we talked about our ratings of the Scream movies because we did.
We did well, I think we did it for six and five.
17:32
Let’s see order now.
But you know, so like, yeah, like it’s nice to like that we we’re getting like like it is like nice.
I will say, to have like a franchise that’s going where you’re invested to just go check it out in the theater and be what but whatever with it.
17:49
But my God though, it’s slim Pickens.
Yeah, and I was thinking about this too.
And I was going to say for the the franchise as a whole, you know, I know that’s the Scream Movies Now, you know, five and six, they really came out in the sort of like a Whiplash fashion where it was like Scream 5 came out and they just pulled it out.
18:10
Like it was not even.
I don’t even think it was a year later that Scream 6 came out after.
It was a year and like yeah, two months ’cause it came.
Scream 5 came out in 2020, January 2022.
Scream 6 is out in March of 2023, which is Scream one and two level of like whip raw you.
18:31
Know they just Wham bammed it and you know, released both of those in movies in quick fashion and you know, I am actually surprised because not that screen the screen franchise as a whole continues because I think we’re already seeing scream 8 in production.
18:48
They’re they’re already working on it.
I’m not surprised about that.
I’m actually surprised that we don’t see more of this type of thing.
You know, saw was there for a while, you know, and, and, and perhaps the people making saw just like tired of it after a while.
But I’m surprised that we don’t see things like with for for other people that hold rights like this, right?
19:07
Like like a Nightmare on Elm Street, for example, Like we haven’t seen a Nightmare on Elm Street in forever.
And it just seems surprising because these movies though, as we’ll talk about, you know, especially with five and six, these movies haven’t even really been that amazing.
19:24
But the box office for them, it is such that like they can’t afford not to keep making them in a in a certain way, like like it’s and we’ll talk about this with Scream 7 as well.
The cheapness at times of, of being able to make these movies versus, you know, the long running sort of audience consensus that like, I’m going to see it no matter what.
19:46
Like I don’t even care that 6 wasn’t that good.
I’ll probably still see seven like that.
That sort of goodwill to just see the movie is what they really are banking on to just make bundles of cash.
And I’m really surprised we don’t see that for other rights that they hold.
I think it’s because of what the ends up happening and they’ve seen it now is they want a surefire investment.
20:08
Because again, think about it.
I we didn’t think Scream 5 was that great.
You can listen to our review like and like for 11 years after Scream 4 for them to return.
I’m like again, I’m fine with it because again, it’s a well trodden property.
20:27
If you had the rights, you’d be stupid to not use them.
Well, you think about like Halloween 2018, you know, Halloween.
God, the Blum house was woo riding high.
And then you got, you know, Halloween Kills and what, what the hell was the third one called it?
20:51
Halloween nights.
Halloween nights.
So like it went like from, you know, that high yeah, that they did.
And then just shit and then like, so like I, I, you know, to where it’s like it’s kind of toxic now.
Like I don’t think it’s probably going to be there probably won’t be another Halloween film until like 20-30 because of how bad Halloween kills and ends.
21:13
Right.
And you know, and the other, the other thing about that is like Exorcist Believer too, right?
That one came out and they were like lauding it.
We’ve got a trilogy on the rise.
You know, we’re going to have three of these movies coming out.
And then Exorcist Believer came out and everyone was like fucking Christ do not have two more movies boobies like this which is which is.
21:35
Which is like, again, like, sorry to interrupt, but like, that’s part of the problem too.
Don’t as a film studio, try to like plan ahead, plan for the success of the project you’re working on.
And if it pans out, then go for.
21:51
It well, yeah, because.
You look at again, like look at scream one.
There was nothing you know from Scream one that would hint that they were looking at, you know, sequels down the line.
If there was never a sequel to Scream, Scream is still a self-contained, amazing, not just slasher film, but not just horror film, a great film.
22:14
Yeah.
So even if they never, you know, went get back into that, well, yeah, it’s still self-contained.
Focus.
On that I I want to talk I want to bring go come back to that when we talk about Scream 7 a little bit more.
So remember that point because I I do want to.
That was something I want to talk about when we.
22:30
Put a bit in.
Yeah, when we get into the movie itself.
All right, Yeah, let’s, let’s take a break really quick.
Let’s talk about the beer that we have on the show, and then we’ll get back to talking about the movie and production stuff as well, because I think we’ve got, you know, a lot more to talk about from there too.
So, all right, so beer on the show today, we’ve got one that, you know, from a local Brewing Company that we’ve had on here numerous times before, but this one stood out.
22:55
I think I remember seeing this released and seeing people having this in stores maybe not too long ago, and we had kind of earmarked it to say, hey, that’s something that we want to try at some point.
Looks like you found it today.
I did.
23:11
Yeah.
I found it on our local beer store.
That’s awesome.
In fact, it was like the first one of the I was either I was either going to get this, excuse me, or BI saw they had a beer tree Irish right ale.
23:28
So I ended up going with this just because I don’t want to.
It’s quite bleed into Saint Patrick’s Day and we’re damn big fans of, you know, Schwartz beers on here.
Yeah, so.
23:45
I mean, I think we we had one not too long ago actually.
No, we.
The Beer Tree Lift Lager, right, was one of the last ones that we have on here.
Yeah.
So when I think again, this, you know, it’s very similar in scope to the to the lift lager.
24:04
This is another Schwartz beer style from Druthers.
It’s called Dark Encounter, which I like the name a lot.
They’re they’re calling it a German style dark ale or dark lager, which is effectively A Schwartz beer.
I mean, they’re not calling it by name, but that’s that’s be honest probably.
24:22
Because they don’t like, you know, it’s you know the lure, you know normies and because if.
You’re inspecting victims.
Because if you’re because if you’re like Schwartz Beer and they’re like Lawrence Schwartz and.
That’s the thing.
That’s what they’re doing.
They’re trying.
They’re luminarying them in.
24:37
And you’re like, he’ll never go back.
You’re going to love Schwartz beers from here.
You’re going to.
You’re going to go find them all.
Yeah, I mean, and again, I think this is, I think we talked about this on the Lift Lager, but it’s like a Schwartz beer style isn’t really a Schwartz beer style.
And it’s like there’s a particular function for it and a particular flavour.
24:56
And if you’re not hitting that, then are you really having a Schwartz beer?
Probably not.
You know, you’re having something else that’s more akin to like a stout or a Porter because there’s a very fine line between the two of them and that they sometimes bleed into each other.
I think this druthers is very good.
25:14
It it, it matches the, the Shorssbury style really well.
It’s you don’t got a nice body to it, but it’s not, you know, it’s, it’s actually still light with that lager lightness to it, you know, a nice biscuity toffee coffee flavour to it.
25:31
You know, a little bit of chocolatiness there, but effectively, you know, a lighter body and lighter in alcohol content to make it really drinkable.
I think they did a really good job with it.
Neither.
No, I agree.
I love this.
It definitely.
25:47
I would say compared to the beer tree shorts beer, it definitely pushes those notes that you expect from a Schwartz beer much further because the coffee, the toffee is so robust.
26:05
The big, the biscuity best, but it does like it does like it does kind of straddle that line of like a Porter with like how big it’s like in prominent those notes are.
But it is very drinkable, very good, nice and warming to you, especially.
26:27
I mean, not today.
We had summer today, but as like, it’s been cooler than the witch’s tit up here in the Adirondacks.
This is a a wonderful, you know, winter beer and.
Love the name.
I like.
26:42
I like that name.
Yeah, I love the owner.
I love the name, I love the can like, and I haven’t had druthers in forever, right?
Hell, haven’t even been to one of the Druthers in a long while how they have.
Four locations now how?
How can you miss it now?
Well we have to go because I was looking at them their updated menu.
27:00
They have French dip egg rolls.
Yeah, I know for 17 bucks you get shaved rib eye, caramelized onion, provolone, local.
Favorite around here too, which is the Reuben Egg Roll, which also sounds very delightful, especially with Saint Patrick’s Day coming.
27:17
I know it’s.
Like a local special.
I mean it’s probably a lot of people do, but they definitely do it around like the the Irish bars and hubs around here.
But yeah, no, I saw I was just looking nice like to see at the it’s horse rash, creme drizzle and beef like sign me up.
27:43
Yeah, no, it’s nice.
Like so I know to be honest with you.
I’ll have to check.
I feel like I’ve had a short spear from them before.
Might wasn’t this because I I I did check, but I think by a different name, maybe because I feel like one of the times visiting like the pub house.
28:01
I you know.
Could be.
Snuck that.
They didn’t.
They just didn’t count.
Call it this, but it was like the same recipe or something.
Yeah, could be.
Yeah.
So druthers, they don’t live in the upstate New York region.
Probably not going to find this, unfortunately, but done a good thing with Dark Encounter.
28:21
I like it.
Let’s extend our conversation about Scream 7 a little bit with that the the idea of the production in the budget.
So surprisingly Scream 7 has the highest budget of the three newer films.
28:40
Scream Five had a very actually pretty small budget at like 20 something thousand or I’m sorry, 20 million, I think it was like 28 million or something like that.
Scream 6 had a, you know, bumped up budget there with like about 35 million or so.
28:59
And Scream 7 clocks in at $45 million for their budget.
That’s an estimate from IMDb, which already made back in the opening weekend with 63,000,000 on as of March 1st with a worldwide gross of over $100 million.
29:19
So it’s making money regardless of the fact of whether people liked 5:00 and 6:00.
However, I will say people did like 5 and 6, maybe not us as much as we’ve talked about on our previous episodes, where I think we were somewhat enamoured with Five and Six was sort of a drop off a little bit, at least for me.
29:41
I remember not really being that in love with Six, even though I look back and I apparently gave it a 3 1/2 stars or something like that.
But I remember just, you know, not thinking that it was all that amazing.
But people are really, you know, loving the Scream sequels and they’re going to see these Movies Now.
30:01
I think the surprising thing that we’ll talk about with Scream 7 is that the budget is $45,000,000 and this movie certainly does not feel like it has that type of budget.
No it does not, I think.
The things that stand out to me the most is that this film is, for better or worse, I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but it is definitely a more intimate style film than I would say like Scream 6, which was much more open-ended.
30:30
You know, obviously they had the New York City setting.
They had the, you know, we talked about like the whole bodega thing, but they had this.
Ghost space takes minute.
And we talked about that too in Scream 6 episode where it did not really feel like New York City was a character in the movie per SE, where, you know, you kind of think about some other movies that feature New York City and Manhattan.
30:54
And a lot of times the city itself tends to become a character because it has this very particular feeling and atmosphere to it that you you see all of the landmarks of the the city life.
It’s not, it’s not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, just, that’s right, you know?
31:11
But I would say.
By the way, we need do need to screen Scream 6 just because what does that apartment’s rent now cost through?
So yeah.
That’s right.
That’s right when you give a new estimate.
But I would say that that film, again, like it had a very much more open-ended feeling to it.
31:28
But still, the New York City setting did not really seem to, like, add much atmosphere to it, nor did the Halloween element to it, which was that another part of the whole thing, the whole idea of like, oh, it’s going to be set around Halloween.
You know, in Scream 7, we have a much more intimate setting.
31:46
It’s supposed to be sort of a throwback to which I always find really funny, the small town that Sydney’s from, right.
Because the whole idea behind this movie that was presented to us, at least in the, like, the tag lines and the the poster artwork and everything else was that it was, you know, going to be a return.
32:06
Yeah.
It’s.
Strike two Strike 2 for this fucking film.
Yeah, strike one with the 10 minute video essay before the film.
Strike 2 is the whole marketing for this fucking film was returned to Woodsboro.
32:21
Yeah, fear hits home is the tagline right?
You know they didn’t, they didn’t, they didn’t hit.
You know they didn’t go to Woodsboro.
And, yeah, and I think, you know, like, the idea was like, ha, this is kind of a, you know, like, again, I do understand what they’re doing.
Like the beginning of the film is sort of that Drew Barrymore.
32:38
Hey, look, we’ve got Drew Barrymore right from the first film.
We’ve got Drew Barrymore.
Aren’t you excited to see Drew Barrymore being like one of the final girls in this movie?
And then, you know, they hit you with that.
Wait a second.
She dies in the first, you know, 6 minutes of the movie.
I think the same idea was was the case with Scream 7 in that we do get a return to Woodsboro.
32:59
They go to Stew’s house and they’ve kind of created like this Airbnb style, you know, serial killer museum, which we do see now, you know, with like stuff like Lizzie Borden house where they, you know, they sell rooms for for people to stay in and experience the Lizzie Borden, you know, murders that happened there.
33:21
In the same ideas in this that you know, the opening sequence of this movie where they go to Stumacher’s house and you know, it’s an Airbnb and that’s where the initial kill comes in and then they burn it up.
And so that’s the return to Woodsboro that they were hinting at.
33:36
And it’s sort of like, hey, gotcha.
You know, we’re not going to be in Woodsboro.
We’re going to some place in, you know, some Hallmark esque or community in Pine Grove.
And apparently it’s Indiana, though I didn’t really notice that they said that in the movie.
Which is funny.
33:52
Which is funny though, because even though we found that out after looking at the Wikipedia for the story for this afterwards, because it’s not mentioned, they just say Pine Grove.
Not that I remember I was.
Thinking when we first meet tatums friends and they’re walking down the street like wow, this is a incredibly like D list had and feel yes.
34:12
And not only that, I think you get that too, because it’s like what it’s like, is it like September, you know, because there’s like leaves blowing around the the road and all that sort of like it is it almost looked like they had set dressing for like doing a Hallmark Thanksgiving movie.
34:28
And they were just like, all right, shoot, scream there too, you know, because it, it really does feel like this quaint small town Hallmark Y type community where the streets, you know, the Broadway Main Street is lined with these little shops and even Sydney owns a fucking cafe called the little.
34:47
Latte Cafe.
You know it’s it’s straight out of the Hallmark staple.
She she likes dark meat, he likes white meat.
How were they going to settle their differences this Thanksgiving?
35:02
And Ghostface comes in and says light meat, dark meat, I don’t care, I’ll kill it all like the fucking Thanksgiving movie.
Yeah, I mean, so I get the idea that this the the movie they were intending to have like this nice, you know, intimate small town setting and it’s supposed to mimic Woodsboro in a way.
35:23
Although I would argue that a place like Woodsboro cannot be a small town community because of like we see the the school, right?
The school is fucking a man pound.
Yeah, I mean, so it’s they got Henry.
Winkler, they got Henry Winkler show up for that, so.
35:41
But I think in this case like that, that’s what they wanted.
They wanted Sydney to have settled down somewhere because she has a family now.
She has a husband who is played by Joel McHale, who I had to go and look because I couldn’t remember, because the film has been the the series has been very wishy washy with how it even displays Sydney as a whole.
35:57
But he has he has not been featured like they they never, you know, brought him up or brought him into like Scream 5 to just say, Yep, this is his.
This is her husband.
She’s got a husband and three kids, two of which in this movie, they shuttled off to grandma’s house because they didn’t want to deal with younger children.
36:14
I feel like, I get the feeling like they didn’t want to have them in the cast and they did not want to deal with the prospect of having them in dangerous situations.
So they they like conveniently at the beginning of the movie are just like, look, the two monsters are at grandma’s house, you know, and get rid of them, which that’s sort of a blankety miss it moment too, because they were mentioning later on in the movie like, oh, Sydney has three children.
36:36
I was like, she does.
I I completely forgot that he even showed that one scene at the beginning of the movie where is like the munchkins are at grandma’s house.
So what do you think about this?
What do you think about the fact that they’re showing like Sydney kind of settled down because this is like, you know, again, I think the same idea occurs in like in in this movie is sort of a a reboot style remake of the original screams in that it’s sort of trying to repeat the same characteristics of the first film and even the second film to kind of usher in a new wave of final girl elements and sort of draw parallel to Sydney’s own predicament with her daughter.
37:18
What do you what do you think about that?
So it’s a big problem for me, reason being, look, we all know that the film had trouble production.
That’s why it’s it came out three years later instead of like a year or two.
37:37
I think the fact that again put it as this is probably where you’re going to do the whole returned with the putting a pin in it, because I’m going to talk about it now.
They planned for a trilogy.
They planned for something bigger.
37:54
Scream 5 was like the passing of the torch to Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera as you know, Billy Loomis’s bastard child that is seeing visions of Billy and all and all of them.
38:11
They killed Dewey off and you know the film.
You know, the meta for the film and critique is you know about the requel, you know because which was, you know, past, you know, passe shit the time it was popular.
38:29
Scream 6 is for the meta and nothing.
It’s just literally they just up the blood and gore and.
Yeah, you’re it was the meta was you’re in the sequel of a recoil.
Yeah, and the and the fact that they had like the whole like, you know, oh, look at this.
38:50
It’s like a like a the Hall of Ghost face and stuff.
It’s a slight critique on fandom, but again, Scream 4 beat you all to the punch 14 years earlier and did a better job and all of them.
But, you know, whatever.
Yeah, so Scream 7, you’re expecting some continuation of that.
39:11
But because Melissa Barrera and General Ortega have, you know, believe in human rights and said, you know, free palace stuff, they get fired.
And now you got this mangled mess of like, we got to all right, we got to hit the eject button on the reboot.
It’s not Kevin Williamson’s fault.
39:27
No, I’m not going to blame him for the for that, for his direction and screenplay, but the fact that the studio and it’s arrogance, it’s already like planning out, you know, there’s, you know, piles of money to make.
It makes again like, so wait, why are we here?
39:43
Why are we doing this?
Why do I care, you know, about Sydney, her kid and all this when they only bother to bring in the fucking, you know, combat kids.
Yeah.
And just basically because like, hey, you guys like Mindy and Chad from EU 5 and 6, this is completely detached from it.
40:10
And I think that’s really an interesting idea, right?
Because I do think in some ways, especially when you’re working with a franchise like Scream, that is kind of like writing its own money at A at a certain point, I do think that there is value in looking ahead to say like, all right, we’re creating a trilogy or we’re create.
40:29
We’re at least planning for the point where we we know where we’re going to be heading for the next films.
And I think what’s interesting is, like, Paramount was so against Barrera and Ortega speaking their own minds about Palestine that they were like ready to just burn up money.
40:51
They were they, which we know too, because the Ellison’s own.
It yeah, that’s, it’s like astounding.
They were ready to just burn up money because they said those things and get rid of the entire way that they were progressing in Scream 6 because of that, and just effectively rewrite the film.
41:11
And that’s probably where a lot of the budget went is the rewrites of the film and the entire, you know, like it because it probably they spent what, like $30 million getting to get aired for literally, you know, yeah to.
Get them to get everyone back that we’ll see in the film.
Like you know, like it’s not just Nevs check this time.
41:29
Hey, we got Matthew Lillard.
He probably just did for the love of the game.
He’s you know, he’s you know, but like getting, you know, Courtney Cox and come back and getting, you know, like it’s to me, that’s always going to be the biggest problem with this film is why even have the Meeks kids in here it if you’re not?
41:50
Ignore them, which they do.
You’re going to not only ignores them, but like.
Basically, this is ignoring five and six.
And hell, they even say that all the time with yeah, you should’ve been in New York now.
Yeah, you didn’t miss anything in New York.
42:07
Like, so you should just need the film screen then because, like, to reboot.
And then again, this is where like it’s so ridiculous because it’s like Whitney did the Hulk, the Incredible Hulk and like Hulk, you know, like they had to reboot it like 4 different times.
42:23
Like it’s like so DC sore Warner Brothers.
It’s just like, so just, it’s just ridiculous.
Like, I want to be clear that I again, and I think you, you’ve said this too, Like it’s, you know, it’s not Kevin Williamson’s fault.
It’s not the the actor’s fault that the film goes the way that it does in certain situations or the criticism or lobbying against it.
42:46
It’s all on Paramount, right?
Because Paramount was completely willing to just rewrite the whole thing for shits and giggles because they didn’t like what Melissa Barrera and General Ortega was saying.
And that’s, that’s just crazy to me.
Like it.
43:02
I mean, at the end of the day, I don’t understand it, you know, as a human being and you know, but but at the same time, like, I’m not necessarily blaming that on what the the end result of what we get because they they made the best of a bad situation.
43:22
What I’m, I, I guess what I, and I, and actually, for me, I actually ended up enjoying Scream 7 more than I, I did with five and six, or at least more than I remember enjoying 5 and 6.
And again, like I said, I, I guess my, my memory of that is a little bit hazy because I did end up giving Scream 6 the same rating that I gave Scream 7.
43:42
Again, my, my ratings are pretty arbitrary.
At, at any given time, they can really change.
And, you know, it’s, you know, it’s just a number, but at the end of the day, I, I felt when I was watching the movie, like I did appreciate Scream seven more than I did this the five and six movies.
44:00
And, and, and I am an outlier in that.
I realize that because from what I’ve seen from reviews and other people talking about the movie, they really did not enjoy Scream 7.
There’s probably some baggage to that.
You know, there’s the obvious baggage that they just got rid of General Ortega and Melissa Barrera and those were a huge draw to the films.
44:18
There’s the other, you know, the other element of like, you know, again, it’s, it’s not the, the extension of the storyline that you were expecting.
And, and, and I totally understand your point that it seems like Scream 7 basically says, let’s restart again, five and six don’t matter.
44:42
And I think that’s problematic in two ways, right?
So five and six end up not mattering.
And it then when you look back on it, it really makes you think like, well, why did we spend the time, you know, wasting our time getting used to these characters and actually meeting these characters and, you know, acting like we were going to, you know, jump start what’s going to happen with those characters when we really aren’t?
45:05
And then on the other hand, for Scream 7, it really makes it seem like, why do we bother caring about where Sydney is now?
Because we have not been, you know, in the five and six, we really haven’t been Privy to anything that Sydney’s been doing.
45:21
The only thing they didn’t 5 was basically have her come back and say, like, listen, I’ve been retired basically, but I’m going to help you.
And then now we’re supposed to care about her entire family in Scream Seven in a way that the film just cannot do in two hours, right?
45:36
We, we do not really know Tatum, even at the end of the day, after, you know, quite a bit of characterization of the film, which you know, after the first kill sequence, which I think is pretty inventive in this movie, after that first kill sequence, it takes about like 30 minutes, I think for the actual, you know, Ghostface killings to really make a return.
45:57
Tatum.
Tatum is such a wet noodle.
Too exactly, I don’t know the problem.
Isabel May’s character is just so like you mom, like you’re fierce.
And I just want to, I just want to know about you.
And it’s like there’s a very wow like, like if she’s being set up for now, the future plan like this is.
46:19
Great.
Yeah, Yeah, She’s very whiny.
She has a very like sort of, you know, the the angstiness to it that is does not really make her endearing.
I understand that what Williamson was going for in this scenario, he wanted to make her seem like, you know, the sort of shy and, you know, reserved Sydney of the original Scream.
46:45
But I think at the end of the day, it doesn’t work that well in Scream 7 because they’re trying to shoehorn in US meeting Tatum for the first time.
Never met her before, don’t know her, barely even knew that Sydney had a daughter of her age.
So we’re meeting her for the first time and then the film is asking, please understand Tatum and see the parallel from her to Sydney and see the growth at the end of the movie.
47:12
And that’s a problem because we just don’t know that much about her and we don’t we we don’t get enough time to spend with her to really make that worthwhile.
So I was absolutely agree with that, that I think that, you know, again, this is another thing that comes down to Paramount though, and the decisions that they made.
47:30
Scream 6 did not have Sydney.
So there was no chance to build any about her family in Scream 6 because they just said, Nevada, you’re asking too much.
You’re a woman.
We don’t really care about women.
OK.
So it doesn’t matter that you’ve been in all the movies since here.
We’re not going to pay you the amount that you’re asking.
47:47
So they that that was their fault and they did not have a chance to build a bridge to where they were going to eventually get to here, which they obviously, again, they didn’t even know they were going to get to this place, but they didn’t even try.
You know, there’s no, there was no attempt because Sydney is not in the in Scream 6 and there’s no attempt to even give her a family at that time.
48:08
She just mentions it and so.
You know what?
So you know, sorry to interrupt, but you know what would be a good use of that 10 minute unnecessary.
There you go.
You’ve already, you know, like paid for the movie.
So why am I seeing like, you know, grab ass between, you know, Nevin and Courtney Cox?
48:28
How about you have like, it’s been a while since you’ve seen me.
Here’s what’s going on in my family.
Yeah.
I opened up a little coffee shop with the money there.
If you remember, screen four, I wrote a book and I became the best seller.
So you know I well.
Apparently she made a lot of money because she has a panic room in her house.
48:47
Her house is, you know, gorgeous, going through all kinds of construction.
She made a bundle of money from the stuff that she’s been doing on the side besides her little latte.
Cafe But yeah, so like that would be better.
No, because you’re right again, like it’s just it’s just hard for me to like really like it’s the film is just so disjointed from the rest.
49:14
And again, like, if, if this franchise wasn’t going for a linear story film, the film, right, I could discard that.
Yeah.
You know, whatever, you know, you know, drop it and move on.
They clearly made it, you know, something that they wanted to tell.
49:33
So it’s just, for me, it just comes off like a wet fart.
It’s like, like, it’s just, you know, OK, Cindy’s got kid, a kid, kids.
She’s married.
She’s living the happy life.
When Ghostface calls her, she don’t give a shit because she’s already been, it’s 30 years of this shit.
49:52
She’s like, yeah, whatever asshole beep, you know.
So it’s, you know, and again, the fact that they’re trying to make Tatum, you know, be the, you know, the next in line, it’s all just, you know, a bunch of you.
50:09
Know, and I think to your point too, a big problem with the movie is that they want to have it both ways, right?
Like so they recognize the fact that we kind of need to tie in a little bit to 5:00 and 6:00.
So they bring the Meeks Martin children in who are now not children.
50:24
They’re like, you know, college age, but they they’re bringing them in.
And yet the film really does nothing with them.
Like it it, you know, it uses them as sort of this bridge to the meta, right?
Because they are effectively the new voice of the meta that they’re, you know, identifying within their own realm in in the movie.
50:47
And but they don’t do anything and they just get stabbed in like you said, it’s basically just a reason to have Chad get stabbed in every single movie, right?
Like at this point, the man is magnet to knives.
Yeah.
Not only that though, like and they just become more as you were saying too, more and more ridiculous.
51:09
You know, stabbings at these people are.
Going through, Yeah, yeah.
The meta now for Scream.
What meta is there?
There’s no critique like what are you critiquing in 2026?
Like are you, are you critiquing Robert Eggers or, or you know, Ari Astor?
51:31
Like there’s nothing for you to critique.
No one’s doing like box office horror anymore.
And not only that, like even like with Scream 6 and Scream 5, the like meta that they were trying to like, you know, talk about and connect to was incredibly tenuous at best.
51:53
And like really not like anything groundbreaking.
Like it like 1 again, like sorry to say, but like one of the reasons why I think like Scream 4 is like just as great as Scream is because 15 years out now, like holy shit, I want to be the star, the attention economy, the whole, you know, live streaming your life 24/7.
52:20
Like it’s a lot, but like so far ahead of its time.
It’s like just Kevin and Wes, you brilliant bastards on that.
And it’s beautiful and wonderful.
But again, like, what are you critiquing here?
There’s no like critique of the franchise itself because again, the opening with like the the whole, oh, the stews, you know, like the museum, like you, you did that in the last film.
52:47
Sure.
And basically at this point when you guys do that, it’s like it’s just a signal to like, well, we’re protecting the franchise and the brand and that doesn’t mean anything.
That would be like if every saw film from now on they had to shoehorn in you’re fucking Jigsaw.
53:04
It’s like, you know, turd that he shout out like when he was having a, you know, gallstone attack or whatever the hell.
Like, you know, so like that part of bringing them in and again, it’s not they just brought them in because of the meta, but also the the most liked of the new, you know, the new kids.
53:22
But again, you didn’t do anything with them.
They got nothing to say.
They get stabbed because they’re just like, oh, it’s this person.
Who’s that person?
And they’re just, they’re at a bar for 20 minutes and they get stabbed and we’re on our way, you know?
Yeah.
And I think too, I think that one of the problems that I think we’ll continue to see is that the the idea of having Scream make these meta commentaries at this point is that Scream is embroiled in the meta.
53:50
It was a reason that the meta existed now and, and so it’s hard to be within that meta element and the universe that you are creating it and then comment on it as well.
54:05
It doesn’t work very well.
You’ve, you’ve effectively negated the idea of it because now you are, you are the reason it exists.
And so it’s very, it’s going to become very difficult to keep revitalizing the idea of it commenting on something because it is commenting on a comment of a comment that it already made.
54:26
It’s very, it’s, it’s going to be very difficult.
There’s going to be diminishing returns.
And I think like, you know, we’re, you know, obviously we’re at #7 right.
There’s going to be diminishing returns.
We see the diminishing returns.
It’s hard to keep making these movies surprising.
54:42
And I think, well, not.
Not only that though, it’s hard to have a like a meta contextual analysis when again this is a vestige of a piece of horror cinematography that that is now incredibly lost in the sands time again.
55:03
While there are films that come out like this, the big part of the films that come out their horror are nowadays are these like artisanal pieces.
So again, what like, you know, I, I, I know they in like it’s either 5 or 6, you know, they quote about like the Babadook and it’s like, what?
55:26
What are you going to say?
Like you have nothing that you could ever say about the Babadook.
You’re a fucking, you know, you know.
So I, I, I, I definitely agree.
I think that we’re running into this, this diminishing return.
55:41
I don’t think it’s, I think it’s going to continue, right.
And I think that the ending of this movie too, sort of cements that, right?
Because at the end of the day, you know, I think we talked about how Scream 6 has sort of like a somewhat disappointing finale.
Scream 7 also has a very disappointing finale in that it’s not that you can’t really see it coming because that’s that’s a concern that we bring up quite a bit is that, you know, the, the people that end up being the killers are not present within the movie enough where you would actually even suspect them.
56:14
That’s not the technically the case with Scream seven.
I think more so the case is that at the end of the day, you just don’t really care that much about the killer’s motive here.
The killer’s motive is so tangential, is so like, you know, inconsequential to the characters that it’s involving that you could not guess it because it’s it doesn’t even have a connection to them really that you would know about.
56:45
The only way, and This is why the only like, and I said when we watch, I wasn’t really thinking of like red herrings and who done it.
The only ones I was really thinking of like who might have done it was Anacamps, like Jessica Bout.
And just because her son was clearly lined up to be, you know, the killer is because he’s so obsessed with, you know, the sad films and like the crime and all that.
57:12
And she’s like, oh, just so zany.
But again, the reasoning with it with her.
And you didn’t even say it.
Ethan Embry.
Like, why the like, it’s so stupid.
I’m a survivor.
I raised your book.
I killed my husband.
57:27
I learned to push on and I’m going to become another survivor.
Like, wasn’t that fine?
Like, wasn’t that like?
Like there’s just like?
Yeah, yeah.
There’s just such a disconnect on Yeah, like the like, why, like you give Scream 3 all this shit that you want.
57:48
At least Roman has like a, you know, a good reason for like why he’s the stand, you know, why he’s Ghostface or why, you know, Emma Roberts ends up being like, you know, fantastic.
I’m chasing fame.
I want to be, you know, it’s something, this is just like, like I write your book and I became obsessed with it.
58:09
Come on, you know, and.
I will say that they did a pretty good job.
Like, again, I don’t really look at publicity or anything for movies that I’m going to go see because I feel like it really does take away.
And I do see that there was publicity for Ethan Embry of Dutch.
58:26
I should say Ethan Embry of Dutch.
You can listen to our episode on Martin didn’t like it, but Ethan Embry of Dutch being in this movie and I will say when I was watching this movie, I did not recognize Ethan Embry in this movie.
58:44
But I know.
In fact, when the credits.
Rolled in the guy, you’re like, holy shit that.
Was a good thing there was no one else in the audience at the time, but I will say so.
They did a good job of making him not super recognizable, but the film does draw a significant amount of attention to him when they’re interviewing him as the, you know, the the orderly because the he you know, he has a sort of like this charisma that he’s bringing to this character that it actually is a downfall of the movie because yes, it’s charisma.
59:17
No, like a normal regular extra probably wouldn’t have, you know, had that.
So I do think that that does kind of draw take attention away from the fact that like you wouldn’t you would be suspecting that guy.
He’s almost like a sassy southern gentleman, like.
59:33
No, no, yeah, yeah.
But I do think at the end of the day, the motives, but for both of the the killers and actually, I mean, let’s face it, we keep we keep exponentially increasing amount of killers, which I kind of like in this movie that they had a killer that was already revealed by like the halfway point, but but.
59:55
Hold on the dumbest thing though.
Yeah, yeah.
Though it’s so cartoony and like just.
Piss and like piss on you.
Like Courtney Cox shows up and mows that motherfucker down and she’s like daddy with her Jeep and the Meeks kids come out because they’re her like, you know, cameraman and like, you know, fluffer.
1:00:22
It’s like she’s like, I got another one bitch, and it’s like that.
That is awesome.
It’s like, wow.
It’s like, wow, it’s Courtney Cox.
But also to like, wow, how fucking serendipitous that.
That is also become a really big problem with the Scream franchise as a whole is that you have Courtney Cox coming in effectively like, you know, like the cavalry, right?
1:00:46
And that this has been a thing from 5-6 and now 7 in that, you know, a pretty tangential character to the Scream franchise who is kind of been written in it to be going to have some more play in the in the the universe is now becoming like this cavalry character that you bring in to save the day.
1:01:08
And I guess in this case, while I like the fact that they keep bringing up that she really wanted to interview Sydney and it never happened.
And that sort of happens in this movie.
I think that GAIL as a whole as a character is really wasted and they really only wanted her there to get those, you know, one, one piece shots of her saying like.
1:01:28
Fucking.
Damn it.
Or, you know, like whatever she does there and it’s really over the top and cheesy and I don’t like how they use her character at all here.
See, like you also too like it.
I mean, like grand they weren’t going to do it because again, they’re resetting and going back to NAV and all that you would have had just like that’s something the means to they’re the ones to run them down because they become the new, you know, you know, GAIL Weathers, they’re the ones that are chasing that report in the film constantly shows too, like how beaten the shit and battered and awful.
1:02:06
You know, Gail’s life as she’s like taking painkillers.
She’s shaking.
Get out.
Yeah, she has her.
Yeah, her hands all.
Yeah, you know, messed up, but they’re going to.
Still find a way, you know, 2 films later.
You know, shove poor Courtney Cox, 80 years old into it.
Like I’m still on the beat, bitch.
1:02:24
I think, and I think too, the the whole idea about GAIL showing up like this, I really think the one of the only ways that you can really surprise people within the next Scream movie is to have GAIL be the one that is.
1:02:39
Targeted Sydney, He was, well, I was going to say that.
I was going to say to die because she’s been like teased around.
Oh.
Yeah, that too.
But I but I think like, you know, again, we have to have somebody who’s close to Sydney in a way that we’ve not just met either, right?
1:02:56
Because it can’t be Joel McHale.
It can’t be Joel McHale who’s like all of a sudden I want to kill his wife.
You know, it’s got to be GAIL.
It’s got to be GAIL.
And, you know, this film kind of puts a wrench in that because it keeps saying Sydney doesn’t trust GAIL.
1:03:13
Sydney doesn’t trust GAIL.
She’s not really a real friend.
And at the end of the film, they kind of make amends and they say, you know what?
I really do trust you, GAIL.
Thank you for.
Well, not.
Only that though, too.
They fucking Ned throws everybody under the bus and they’re like, why’d you name me?
As for Tatum?
Or she died in a garage and she’s like, he’s the only friend that I had that I ever trusted.
1:03:32
And it’s like, fuck you doing.
Yeah, right, you know, You know, fuck you, Randy.
Like I know what they’re going for, like, you know, girlfriend and stuff.
But still, like it’s very contrived.
It is, it is, and not only is.
1:03:47
You know, very contrived, but it is just silly.
It’s like, again, it’s just such a like, there’s just such missed opportunities here.
1:04:02
Like like again, the whole like the biggest contrivance to this film is like, is Stew Mocker still alive?
And you got, you know, like him zooming in and you know, like, hey, you know, kill you.
1:04:19
And it’s like.
Yeah, yeah, that the whole, you know, deep fake.
But not only that though too, though.
It’s like, OK, so if he was alive, which he’s not, thank God, but if you know Schumacher was still alive, how why, why did it take like, you know, 35 fucking years?
1:04:47
Can you just?
Imagine, though, the the whole the the underlying idea is so silly that it I mean, I guess presumably it could happen if he was like a very important Epstein, right?
Yeah, yeah, no, just some John Doe after getting his head smashed by a television broke out of, you know, the coroner’s office and he ended up in the fucking all the way from Woodsboro in California, all the way out in Pine Grove in Indiana.
1:05:16
Yeah, it like, it’s just so beyond.
It wasn’t very dumb, but not only that, like so these kids who have never like, you know, met or whatever, like how would you program an AI?
1:05:32
Matthew will learn, you know, Asian beating the hell, that’s like a like, it’s just some stupid like like I, I won’t.
Lie, I I loved seeing Matthew Lillard back because he looks like he’s just having a lot of goddamn fun.
No, probably.
That’s what literally literally just filmed stuff on his phone and like sent it in.
1:05:51
So I love what I say though.
That’s why it sucks because again, we we’re Matthew Lillard Sands here.
We love Matthew Lillard.
I mean, but again, like it’s it’s just so contrived.
And so please, we know this is going to, you know, us be a sloppy mess of a fucking movie.
1:06:10
Please, you know, come like you know, come on, you know.
You know, I love seeing Laurie Metcalf too.
I love her.
I love seeing her in, you know, come back for a little bit.
But I do like you said, I think that it’s sloppy.
I don’t think that it really makes a whole lot of sense when you really stop and think about it.
1:06:29
I don’t think that it makes sense that no one would even recognize Anna Camp’s character is was not in that mental facility because like the one like, you know, research into who lives in the area and that there’s a connection to that, you know, mental mental facility is going to reveal that someone.
1:06:53
‘S called someone’s called a Santorum.
Yeah, and like I just again, you know, and I this these are caveats and obviously the film, you know, we have to take some, you know, steps of back from reality.
1:07:10
But at the same time, I don’t really think that it makes a whole lot of sense when you really stop and think about it.
And the film does a lot of this kind of thing to like, you know, Neve Campbell’s Sydney has been through this 30 for 30 years or more, and yet she still makes stupid decisions, like to tell Tatum to leave the the panic room, even though like, the killer is outside in the hallway.
1:07:31
Like these are dumb decisions that she’s making that don’t really make sense for a seasoned veteran.
Like, again, if she truly is the seasoned veteran that we keep referring to in the movies, then you would not expect her to make any of these dumb decisions.
They’re all very dumb and they don’t make sense.
1:07:47
And I do think that that is a really big problem with Scream 7 is that the the decisions that are made across the board are just like, everybody is stupid in this movie.
Why is the garage at the Prescott household under construction looking like it’s in like the Texas Chainsaw Man?
1:08:06
I have no idea.
I don’t that’s not really not really elaborated.
You know.
Like yeah, we are under construction, not.
Only that though, too.
Yeah, as you said, the fucking poor old, you know, Joel McHale gets stabbed 39 times.
1:08:24
Still wheeled out, raising the thumb up.
Well, not only did he get stabbed 39 times, he’s been laying there for like 15 hours.
And at the end of the day, like, no strong Hardy man who’s a police officer, you know, because I know we’re doing this copaganda piece and stuff.
1:08:41
Nobody is surviving bleeding out for like 15 hours.
Yeah, it’s just like overwhelming.
Would have gotten an affection by that and like, you know, been dead.
Not only that, though, too, though, like the whole week, like, like we’re going to read, you know, go back to the beginning and like do the dream, you know, Drew Barrymore kill.
1:09:04
Like it’s again, like it’s just comes off as so contrived, like you’re pandering way too much because it’s a film that knows it’s going to be worse than they should be because of circumstances.
1:09:19
And it’s just, it’s just not like I didn’t like have fun watching this.
I didn’t like like, I wasn’t having fun.
See, and that’s where I disagree.
Like for me, I did.
1:09:35
I feel like I enjoyed it more than six.
You know, I like I had some fun with it.
I thought that it, you know, besides all the things that I’ve just pointed out that I think are really bad about the movie and really stupid, I did still have some fun with it.
1:09:51
And I don’t know if that’s like the Williamsonisms that are in this movie peppered in.
What’s that?
There’s a lot.
Yeah, exactly.
Like so sort of those things or the fact, you know, again, that we’re still seeing things like, you know, schools that have like this ridiculous, like theater production and, you know, that that are like what, where are these places that have this, this, you know, set up?
1:10:18
I don’t know.
But I like, I did find myself, you know, still enjoying it for what it was.
I I do realize that it’s not a very good movie.
You know, it’s certainly not, you know, hitting the levels of Wes Craven’s best works.
But at the end of the day, like I did have fun to a certain extent.
1:10:37
The film has a lot of gore to it.
It’s way over the top.
Like it doesn’t.
A lot of times it doesn’t even make sense like way.
Too much.
It’s CGI too.
Yeah.
It’s, you know, like, not great.
Like when they stuff the like, Lucas on the bar tap and that like doesn’t even make sense that beer would come out because they put him on the top of the bar tap, which would be the, you know, the thing that gets screwed into the tap instead of where the beer spout comes out.
1:11:03
Stuff like that doesn’t make sense.
But like, it looks visually kind of cool and gorrific, you know?
And obviously, this film keeps trying to up the ante for how much brutality it can really do.
Like Ghostface just keeps getting more and more aggressive and over the top.
1:11:22
And apparently to like all this ghost faces now have taken all kinds of like every single type of, you know, Kung Fu, karate, you know, mastery that they can because they’re, you know, they’re fighting like Joel McHale, who’s like 6 foot four in like, you know, 240 lbs and like beating the beating his ass off.
1:11:44
That’s the other thing too about these films that sucks, is the fact that Ghost Face is becoming more and more like a Superman.
Like they’re like the first, you know, like 3, you know, screams.
1:12:00
There was, you know, Ghost Face was grounded, making mistakes, got hit, had blood, you know, like again, it’s now like, Oh yeah, no, he’s like Jason or like Michael.
There’s no keep coming.
And and you know, and it’s just, you know.
1:12:19
The other thing I really dislike this film does it too, and I actually even mentioned this before we went to see it, is the fact that it does the whole killer got shot, but like they’re getting up like 16 different times from being potentially dead, which again, was really elongated in Scream 6.
1:12:37
If you remember, I think we talked about the fact that the conclusion in the, you know, the the whole sequence at the end of Scream 6 was way too long.
And Scream 7 has that too.
It’s it almost copies it word for word where they’re like shoot him in the head and then they don’t shoot him in the head.
And then, you know, Ghost faces up and gone and it’s like Ghostface just got, you know, stabbed through four times.
1:12:58
And like, you know, I don’t think he’s like jumping off the ground like Buffy and, you know, running away.
But like, this film does it too.
And it’s really getting tiring.
I will say that I think that the film is too long because of this.
The conclusions always make it almost like you took a you took an OK thing and you made it, you know, really too far, took it too far and extended it.
1:13:23
The film is too long.
It does spend a little bit too much time in Sydney’s life, even though I will say it doesn’t do enough to to create Tatum.
It spends too long in the the family dynamic and that’s a problem with the fact that they just didn’t have a lead in to Scream 7.
1:13:41
But it does take too long for that.
So there’s really no reason for this film to be two hours.
I think a nice abbreviated hour and 40 minutes would have been would have sufficed.
It’s too long and then also I think the fact that this movie feels very strange in that it has like no extras whatsoever except in that one coffee scene in the in the little latte.
1:14:06
Other than that, it’s like devoid of extras.
It feels like it’s takes place on this like abandoned set, especially during like that, the curfew sequence within the town where like you see nobody and even the police are like, well, it’s curfew.
1:14:22
We’re not going out right?
Like, you know, because they don’t respond to like anything that’s happening in the town.
There’s like a bar gets this window smashed in and there’s like Ghostface running all over the place, women screaming in the streets.
And the police are like, well, I don’t know, it’s curfew.
1:14:38
Probably should stay inside.
But I think the overall problem is that it just feels unpopulated.
It feels like it takes place on some, you know, right on a back lot.
And it it I think that hurts the film too, because it really doesn’t feel like a small town.
1:14:53
It feels like nothing.
It feels like, you know, just some random location and the film only has a few locations.
So to not have extras like even in the school, if you think about Scream, the original, the Scream original had, you know, like we said, it had a gigantic school and there was lots of extras peppered throughout.
1:15:15
You would see the school looked large and massive because there was crowds of students in this film, they go to the school and it’s only like the five friends that she has in the in the play in a theater play.
And it’s like it does anybody else go to the school?
1:15:31
Is there only like 4 people that attend classes here?
It feels like again.
And I was really surprised to see that the budget was like 4046 thousand or forty, $645,000,000 because it feels so cheaply made in that regard that it doesn’t have extras.
1:15:49
It doesn’t have, you know, any of this additional stuff that you would expect to make it feel lived in.
I don’t know.
Again, that’s that.
That’s not really a complaint about if the movie is good or bad.
It just makes it feel kind of cheap I think.
1:16:12
I agree.
It definitely doesn’t.
It’s the same thing like scream scream 62, like for a city like, you know, New York and they didn’t make it feel alive and, you know, with a bunch of people.
And it’s the same thing here too.
Even in buying Grove, you’d expect as like a business is like alarms are going off and there’s somebody would run out and be like, what the fuck’s going on out there?
1:16:38
But no, no.
One’s around.
They all took the curfew, you know, very seriously.
Like it’s a death sentence if you were to, you know.
I think you had a complaint too about the the soundtrack, right?
I I remember you saying that when you were watching.
1:16:55
It’s like just it’s over.
It’s not bad, but it’s overly present and constantly like like as a scene when they’re sitting there just putting sugar in their tea like.
So it’s always brooding in the background.
Yeah.
And I think Chad.
1:17:11
Except until you get.
You get the.
Right, you get you get the Nick Cave song.
Yeah, yeah, I, I also think like I agree with you, it’s always present, right?
And I also think that it’s very disjointed in the way that it’s used.
1:17:31
I think, I think it’s trying to go for it like this original scream, but I don’t think it really gets there.
I think it’s very, I don’t know it, it does not have a very specific feel to it.
1:17:48
And I think at the end of the day, like we kind of laughed at the end where it pulls out that sort of Enya esque, you know, I mean, it’s it, it works for Scream because it’s a 90s movie, but I don’t know that it works in 2026 as much anymore.
1:18:05
Also, we didn’t talk about the fact that, you know, David Arquette makes an appearance as Dewey and they do pull out the whole, you know, the the three theme that they’ve they’ve.
Had for the for the three seconds that he’s on the fucking screen and you know, he gets one of the biggest, you know, like credits and at the end of the film, like, you know, like I didn’t I.
1:18:29
I love the fact that it it really seems like David Arquette just filmed that somewhere.
Like not it wasn’t on set, he was just at home.
Could have been could have been leftover from COVID.
I know Scream 5 came out before after COVID, but like the way it shot like kind of like a green screen of him like which by the way, fantastic mustache yeah, he’s looking good.
1:18:55
But me, I mean, like again, like I, I, I don’t, I don’t know about you, but for me to have all of that in there, not just him, but like with, you know, Scott Foley and, you know, Laurie Metcalf, it just seemed too much, right?
1:19:12
Because you’ve already gone too much with the Schumacher thing.
So I know what yeah, what the stories doing because by that point, you know, what’s AI generating stuff.
But like, you don’t have any bearing.
It didn’t make we go, you know, so and so.
So you showed up like, you know, it just comes across as like, you know, Jeb Bush, like police clamp.
1:19:34
Yeah, yeah, a little pandering.
Yeah, yeah, you know, so.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
All right.
What else?
What else did we talk about?
We’re we’re already running long.
I think we pretty much documented exactly the reasons why the film can be considered not a great Scream movie in the franchise.
1:20:04
You know, it has a lot of problems.
It really does.
And not all of them are due to the fact that Kevin Williamson is directing or, you know, I think he does a pretty good job directing.
I don’t really.
No, he does.
Yeah, he does.
He’s got a good eye and like everything looks like you got.
It’s the same thing.
1:20:20
Like the performances.
Like nobody, he’s like a bad performance here.
Nobody like the Kevin Williamson’s direction isn’t bad like again, the script, I think it is like it is a weakness.
I understand it from, you know, Paramount, you know, it was meddling, but at the same time like it does, it is what this film is as creation and.
1:20:46
I’m really disappointed that they did not bring up that Sam Reckner, the guy who plays Tatum’s boyfriend, looks a lot like Liev Schreiber when he was younger.
Like they went.
Hard really hard into that because the guy like who looks like that in 2026 right?
1:21:05
Which kid is walking out a lot?
Let’s go he.
Looks really similar to leave, leave Schreiber from, you know, like, you know, Scream 3.
And they should have leaned into that because like, I mean, it’s really uncanny.
1:21:21
I was like sitting there thinking like, God damn, is that Liev Schreiber’s kid?
Because he looks really fucking similar.
He has like this combination of Liev Schreiber and Joshua Jackson that I think, you know, again, like you said, not really a common look.
1:21:38
Like they gave him a specific haircut and everything.
It doesn’t even look like he generally has that type of haircut.
So like they really, they really leaned into that.
And the same is true.
Like I was also remarking that Isabel May looks a lot like EG Daily in a lot of ways.
1:21:55
She she looks very similar.
She even has like a very like a similar voice to EG Daily.
So really strange.
But I mean, those are just things that I recognized when I was watching a movie, but.
Everyone knows that one of the reasons why we Schreiber is one of the best is because he’s also part of the kill.
1:22:17
Where Sir Patch and I say this with all honour, Sir Patrick Warburton also was killed.
Yeah, that’s true.
That’s true in Scream 3.
Yeah, All right, let’s give Scream 7A rating.
1:22:34
So on a scale of zero to 10, police not responding.
These are not the saw, you know, federal agents.
Danny, Danny Glover and Johnny Wahlberg on the scene.
1:22:52
I do like that it seems like the police don’t even know what to do if Joel Mchale’s character is not there to tell them exactly what to do.
Like, they had to look up on their phone and like, who is this guy?
You know, like at the end of the movie, they’re like, yeah, I just looked up on my phone.
Yeah, it looks like this was a guy in.
1:23:09
Like, at least, at least and scream for, like, you know, Anthony Anderson and go like, they’re on patrol or be like, you know, doing the watch and they can gut it here.
It’s like, yeah, no, we know they’re looking for you.
We left your house.
1:23:25
Totally.
Yeah.
Don’t I like how they.
Don’t worry, nobody’s watching.
Your house goes in.
He looks in the front door and like, looks in two rooms, Like clear, totally clear.
No one’s here fucking.
1:23:42
You got like 16 rooms in this fucking mansion.
You better go check them all.
Yeah, and it’s hilarious, but all right, So out of 0 of A10, what would you give Scream 7?
I’d give it a four out of 10.
I just did not enjoy this film.
1:23:59
I think it’s easily the weakest film of the bunch and again I I will have to watch 5 and 6 again to see how it compares.
But just on gut feeling in the moment, I think, I think the fact that Paramount blundered into this is 90% of why I didn’t enjoy the film.
1:24:22
You spent all that money setting up this, you know, trilogy and news, you know, story, new character and you blew it all away because you’re a Zionist sack of shit and you go to Plan D with and expect Kevin Williamson to turn something out.
1:24:40
He it’s not his directions good.
I think story wise, definitely he does need work because again, there’s just so much inconsistencies and that’s so jilted.
But I think do you think his direction is really good?
1:24:57
I think he does have a good eye for what’s going on and it kind of is a little weird to think about.
Like man, he’s only done 2 films and this is second film because I do think he does a good job.
I think all the performances too, for the most part are still also very good.
1:25:13
Again, the film is Hanford by studio ineptness.
And for me, again, that’s as you have heard, like that’s my my biggest craw with In pain of this film is it’s just so disjointed from the rest of the franchise.
1:25:34
It’s such a you know, what are we doing here type moment again, It makes you go, what are we going to do in the next one?
Who the hell knows?
So for me, I, I just I couldn’t get into it.
1:25:52
I thought the gore looks bad.
I thought the just because like again, it was a lot of CGI.
The kills can be created, but again, a lot of really not so great CGI to show the blood and pain and gore, but I’m curious to see where they go next.
1:26:13
But again, like maybe with a scream a Kevin if Kevin Williams since behind it again and directs, I can expect something more.
But again is yes, you know from this film is not from me so far I attend.
I didn’t care for it and I don’t think it’s going to be long remembered in the franchise because of its distortedness from everything else.
1:26:37
Yeah, I mean, I’m going to give it a 6 1/2 out of 10.
I, I did enjoy it for what it was.
I, I, I did have a fun time watching it.
You know, maybe upon revisits that’s not going to stand.
But at least from what I remember, you know, I’m giving it a 6 1/2 out of 10 because even for all its faults that I, I gave it, I did still have like a nice time.
1:26:59
I don’t.
Maybe it’s just a the loving embrace and bosominess of Sydney Neve Campbell, like here with her little cashmere sweaters and, you know, her little latte shop and the the coziness of it all.
But.
The baggy pants.
1:27:16
Yeah, I do also love that we didn’t mention this, but I love the fact that Neve can just run across town to make it to wherever she is.
Like she’s fucking at a news station somewhere and just runs across town booking it to make it to the little latte shop and bar and stuff like that.
1:27:38
It’s it’s great.
It’s great.
So it’s, you know, again, it comes from a place where people don’t really understand like when they say small towns and like you think of a small town and you’re like, oh wow, it must be like 3 streets.
You know.
Like a small town, still large, you know, it can be large and rural.
1:27:56
It can be, you know, so it’s funny.
I love, I love when people do that where it’s like, I’m just going to run.
At least in this case, though, she does say I’m not going to make it.
I’m not going to make it.
So that’s nice.
But, you know, for all its faults, I’ve pointed out a lot of faults.
1:28:12
I think we’ve we’ve joked about a lot of faults in this movie.
I still really, you know, kind of enjoyed it.
It’s definitely not the best in the screen franchise.
I do think that I just kind of also appreciated the fact that it tried to hone in on the the items that did work about Scream and, you know, didn’t try to to drive up this convoluted storyline about Billy Loomis’s, you know, child that we’ve never knew about.
1:28:39
And you know, the Halloween ification of that Scream five and six that they did.
So, you know, I kind of appreciate that.
Try to, I, I appreciate getting back to basics.
Time will tell, like with Scream 8, whether the fact that we’ve now honed in on this a little bit more is going to be effective in telling more of a story about this.
1:29:01
Because I do think there is a huge diminishing return that we’re already seeing with the Scream franchise as a whole.
And then also, I mean, there’s obviously a diminishing return with Sydney.
You, you cannot rely on Sydney as a character constantly because it just gets outlandish to the point where, you know, we see that here.
1:29:21
The killers really don’t even have a tangential connection to her.
It’s it’s really sort of stretching at, you know, thin air to try to make a connection to them.
So I don’t think you can rely on Sydney.
I think that’s where the film is kind of going, is like, hey, maybe we’ll get Tatum in there and here and there.
1:29:37
It doesn’t effectively set her up, though.
There was no set up previously to try to get her in as a character.
So it really feels shoehorned in.
I don’t know.
Time will tell.
I think we’re having diminishing returns of Scream as a franchise, getting very difficult to tell the story and try to continue to revamp what’s already been said, especially considering the fact that Scream now effectively is the meta.
1:30:05
And so you’re commenting on a comment of a comment.
As I said before, it’s going to be very hard to do that.
I don’t envy writers who try to do that.
I think Kevin Williamson is probably put in a pretty difficult position to try to do that.
You know, as Paramount said, fuck all of that that we did with the script before Kevin, write something else, please.
1:30:27
I think that’s really difficult.
So, you know, I’m not necessarily blaming him.
I I think time will tell where it goes from here.
So yeah, I’m going to give it a 6 1/2.
That’s probably a rose colored glasses type rating.
But you know, I enjoyed it for what it was, even though we pointed out a lot of really bad things about the movie.
1:30:48
It kind of seems counter intuitive to what I’ve said previously.
But so, yeah, great discussion.
That was that was awesome.
That was excellent.
So I’m sure like we we saw it a couple days ago.
So we’ve been stewing on it.
And I’m sure, Yeah, you know what?
1:31:04
Also, too, as I say, stewing, I really got annoyed with the fact that they kept staying Stewmacher.
Like it was like one word.
Stumacher.
Stumacher and it was like, you know, that’s.
Oh, Stumacher’s life.
Yes, Stumacher.
It sounded like one word and then like the first time I heard it, I was like, who?
1:31:22
Who the fuck is Stumacher?
But then I like understood after, you know, it came to but but I did not like how they kept rolling that together.
It was kind of annoying, but.
Anyway.
So yeah, actually I think we are coming up on Friday the 13th again and we cannot miss this opportunity again.
1:31:42
We’ve already missed it once.
We missed it in February.
I don’t think we can miss it again.
So I think our next episode is going to be whatever the next movie in the Friday the 13th franchise is that we haven’t done yet.
I don’t remember historically.
I don’t know what we did 6-7, I can’t remember, but whatever it is, that’s the one we’re doing.
1:32:04
We’re doing the next Friday, the 13th that we haven’t done yet.
Go listen to J Movie talk podcast where we do the first three.
We’re going to plug that here and we’ll plug it again on the next episode.
But but that’s.
Our one and only three in one film.
That’s right, yeah.
1:32:20
But that’s the next.
That’s the goal is to do a Friday the 13th episode for the next time.
Last one we.
So Friday, yeah, we’re doing 66.
I, I, you know, I do remember seeing this.
We did it three years ago.
1:32:36
OK, Yeah, we did.
I did five years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
Isn’t that the one with Not Jason?
That’s right.
Has not Jason’s guy?
Yeah.
Blue mask.
Roy yeah.
And yeah, so that I mean in and so that’s that’s fine.
1:32:52
I I think that’s that’s cool.
It’ll give me a reason to finally like, tuck into that Scream Factory Friday 13th box set that I bought all those years ago that was like $140.
And I haven’t even watched any of the movies.
So he’s been sitting on my shelf so.
1:33:08
You know, so between we have done a bad job because we did the J movie Talks episode where we did the first 3, then we did in 2019 the final chapter part 4.
So we didn’t do part 5 until six years like five years after.
1:33:24
So, you know, we’re like.
It’s taken us a while.
To get through the series, it’s it’s OK, we did.
By 2035, we will do them all.
We will have done Jason in space.
That’s right, And by that time, they’ll probably be another one.
1:33:41
Jason in the Hood.
Well, you already did that.
It was called Jason Takes.
Me.
That’s true.
That’s true.
All right.
Well, Jason goes to Staten Island.
That’s.
The next idea is we’re doing Friday 13th Part 6, which is Jason Lives, so that should be fun.
1:34:05
Which was Jason Goes to Hell 7, right?
That’s 9, buddy.
That’s nine.
We got a little ways to go for that one. 7 is the new blood where she has telepathic properties.
She can.
She can fight Jason with her mind and throw stuff at him with her mind.
1:34:21
I don’t think I’ve seen.
Her, well, it’s not very good, but.
Oh, I know.
Jason Lives is actually pretty good, I think.
That’s not it’s you know, it’s not not one of the worst series, I should say.
So it’s been a been a little bit since they’re and again, they all kind of blend together over time because I haven’t seen them in a while, but.
1:34:44
If there’s no Dom pleasance yelling like and then I’m checked out, it’s true.
But that’s in none of them, none of the Fridays.
So that’s why I don’t care about.
But I think, yeah, we’ll have a good time.
1:35:00
I think we’ll have a good time.
Yeah.
So that’s the plan.
Actually do a Friday 13th episode for Friday 13th because we.
Haven’t even done that.
Good, good.
Plan.
So yeah, look for that next time.
