In this episode, Ryan and Anthony cover the big news items connected to the world of SCREAM from this summer. They discuss the viral online gossip and false information spread about Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson on Instagram, and her involvement in SCREAM 8.
Additionally, Ryan and Anthony muse about Jasmin Savoy's Broadway debut in "Hadestown" this fall, and how that likely means SCREAM 8 will not film until early 2027. With some space before production gets underway, Ryan provides the result of polls conducted about which character fans most want Scream 8 to focus on: Sidney, Gale, or Tatum. The decisive results provide a clear path forward.
Ryan and Anthony also exchange views on Neve Campbell reuniting with the Party of Five creators on the HBO drama "The Shore," the plans for Paramount and Warner Brothers to develop a new "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film after years of anticipation, and Christopher Landon's adaptation of "The Final Girl Support Group" novel and Scream Queen casting speculation.
Then, Ryan performs this week's '30 Years of SCREAM, 30 Questions' Interview with longtime Patreon, Sarah, followed by the first Taylor Swift Song of the Week in season six, "I Bet You Think About Me," a vault track from "Red (Taylor's Version)."
