SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers

"Scary Movie 6" starring Anna Faris and Regina Hall released just days ago to a massive box office overhaul, continuing Paramount Pictures' streak of franchise hits after "Scream 7." In this episode, Ryan reviews "Scary Movie 6" with producer TJ Jones, Josh Carr, Anthony Dapuzzo, and Jess Melendez.
 
Ryan discusses the bold statement the Wayans Brothers make with the ending of this movie about embracing the original characters rather than the requel replacements, a concept that has been widely discussed in relation to the SCREAM franchise since "Scream VI." In addition, Ryan explains his point of view as to why the Wayans spoofed the exact narrative structure of "Scream" (2022) to undercut the message of the Radio Silence era with their own statement about how they view their franchise. 
 
Then, Ashley joins Ryan to for "Drop Dead" by Olivia Rodrigo as the song of the week ahead of the release of her new album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love," this Friday.
