Episode 224 – Scream 7

About this episode

The episode critiques Kevin Williamson's return to the Scream franchise as both screenwriter and director, describing it as a self-referential mess.

Kevin Williamson’s return as screenwriter, coupled with his first turn in the director’s chair, manages to produce a self-reverential, masturbatory mess. Scream is the rare horror franchise where each entry, without fail, is worse than the last.
