SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers

Ryan is joined by Anthony Dapuzzo to cover the biggest headlines circling the SCREAM world at the moment. They discuss Matthew Lillard's recent comments about Melissa Barrera and his role in SCREAM 7, as well as Courteney Cox's interest in potentially directing a future SCREAM film. (Ryan has not shared his thoughts on this topic elsewhere #exclusive.) Then, Ryan and Anthony probe ways in which the Sidney 2.0 Era can be expanded with SCREAM 8 and SCREAM 9, and how to fashion an emotional and meaningful character and story arc for these upcoming films.
 
They also  share mini reviews of "Resident Evil" and "Practical Magic 2." Additionally, Ryan muses about the different groups of voices that make up the online discourse, using SCREM 7 and Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl as examples. To close out the episode, Ashley joins for the Taylor Swift Song of the Week, "Fifteen" (Fearless) and how it relates to Tatum Evans.

Then, Roy "Hoodie" Garza, from the Hoodie Talks Podcast, joins Ryan as the 30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions Interview.

In this episode, Ryan is joined by Anthony and Jess to discuss the state of the Scream franchise. The trio look forward to Scream 8: will the critics be fair to the movie, or is the era of the critics being fair to the series and seeing SCREAM as "trendy" is over for now?
In addition, Ryan, Anthony, and Jess evaluate the alleged "lessons" from SCREAM 7 that anti-fans believe need to be improved upon in the next film. The trio present arguments as to why many of these suggestions are the incorrect lessons to learn from the last year.
Then, Ryan interviews John Cardy for the 30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions segment of the week. To end the episode, Ryan is joined by Brian to review Ariana Grande's new album "petal."
