Do you like scary movies? For our latest commentary track we head to Woodsboro to revisit Wes Craven’s game-changing 1996 horror classic SCREAM! Listen separately or watch along as we break down the legendary Drew Barrymore opening, the “rules” that redefined the slasher genre, Ghostface’s place in horror history, and how Kevin Williamson’s razor-sharp script both celebrates and skewers everything that came before it. Along the way we dig into behind-the-scenes stories, ’90s nostalgia, franchise legacy, and plenty of laughs.
Whatever you do…don’t say you’ll be right back!
