SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers

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."
