About this episode
The episode reviews 'Scream 7', discussing its generational themes and the return of original cast members.
"Scream 7" is a film where it takes Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z to kill the overpowered killers that are out to get them. A fun film to watch overall. You get to see OG cast members of the original franchise reprise themselves in creative ways. Seeing Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox play their iconic roles are still spot on. The screenplay is wack and some of the dialog is just so silly to take serious. I don't mind some one-liners, but man! The film takes you to the similar formula that we've seen in the first couple of "Scream" films, except our OG characters are now older and much wiser. But that knowledge doesn't do their kin any good as we can already imagine and it's a bit of fun to see how these teen characters get themselves into trouble & danger whether it was intentional or not. It's a very interesting take of how different groups of generations can take on evil ESPECIALLY when you have AI technology being implemented in the overall story line. I wish that could have been better but it did a good enough job to sort of keep you guessing as to who are the killers in THIS film. The AI take on it does leave you confused but at that point, you just stop caring and enjoy…
