Scream 3

Todd and Brogan compare their rankings of the Scream franchise and discuss their favorite moments from the series, albeit in different formats because Brogan forgot they had agreed to change it. Franchise Fiends will return next season with Hellraiser! And there will be plenty of fun seasonal treats in the meantime. Thanks for listening.

This is the way the franchise ends; not with a bang but with a fart. Todd and Brogan somberly Scream 7, which is both the last and the worst Scream title for reasons that are too multitudinous to fit in a podcast description. We also discuss the weird politics that take a bunch of the blame for Scream 7 being so bad and Scream VI just being mostly okay. This movie apparently made a bunch of money so more sequels are incoming, which we will watch when they come out but probably not feel particularly excited for in the meantime.Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdino

Scream VI is the first Scream film where every killer is motivated by the power of love! In recognition of this, Todd and Brogan bring in actual real life married couple Rachel and Steph to talk about if love and grief could possibly drive someone to think people wouldn't see this twist coming from a mile away.Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdinoFollow Rachel on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/fake_shempFollow Steph on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/sistermaryfake

Look who's back! It's Scream. Same town. Same stars. Same... title? None of us understand or enjoy the "reuse the same title for the sequel" trend that was in vogue during this period of cinema. Horror films are not Weezer albums or Shaft. But hosts Todd and Brogan and returning guests John Conn and Brian did generally enjoy this attempt to revitalize the franchise after a decade away.Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdinoFollow John Conn on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/johnconnFollow Brian on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/raven9167

Not generally a "look at our cool technical prowess" sort of podcast description but there were serious technical issues with this recording (thanks, Zoom!) and it took a whole bunch of work to get this audio to our normal accepted standard of "basically shitty." Thanks for noticing! Oh, yeah, today we're talking about Scre4m and it's a big improvement over the one that they didn't even have the decency to call Sc3am. Yes, I'm still on that. It was right there.

It's time for Scream 3! A.K.A. The Weak Point of the Trilogy. A.K.A. Come On, Y'all, Scr3am Was Right There. Todd and Brogan are joined by returning guest Matthew B. Demented and new guest Jordan to discuss the non-Kevin Williamson entry in the original series and wonder where it all went wrong.Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdinoFollow Matthew B.

Certified chaos goblins Amelia and Bobby are back. Will Scream 2's more traditional narrative make it easier for the group to stay on task? Only barely. They at least manage to make it mostly to the end, at which point things get so sidetracked they actually forget to wrap up the episode. The raw recording of this was 4.5 hours long. Anyway, this movie is pretty good!Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdinoFollow Amelia on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/delightfuldino

Check your phone. It's a new season calling. What's that? You don't answer phone calls anymore? The only people who still make phone calls are murderers and telemarketers? Check your phone for a text message from a new season.Longtime guests Max and Amanda return to help Todd and Brogan break down a film so good it paved the way for an entire new generation of slasher films, and also made some of those slasher films not very good.

The sage concludes in one of the wildest, craziest, deviate-from-the-source-material-ist final episodes of any series we've discussed up until this point. Along the way a librarian tells us how the books are resonating with readers today and Todd's son addresses what it's like having a dad who has seen Breaking Dawn — Part 2 more than 100 times.Follow Todd on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/juggernaut323Follow Brogan on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/roboteatsdinoFollow Ari on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/arig517Season art by Ryan Bouwhuis.
