MUSIC!! "U Make Me Feel" by MK2
talking of the opening scene in the first movie: i noticed that when casey's parents go into the house her dad goes into the living room while her mom goes into the kitchen to take care of the popcorn, and when she runs back into the hall her dad runs into her and stops her from going into the living room, and i just recently realized that that was an attempt to keep her from seeing steve's body, which was especially heartbreaking when she ends up seeing casey's body first.
Wow, it never occurred to me that Steve was still in the house. I totally forgot about him after he died cause you get so focused on her survival
@@katsfairytale Steve wasn’t in the house. He was killed out on the patio which can be seen from the living room.
Oh my goodness I never even thought of that.
The opening is the scariest the movies EVER got.
The movies are plenty scary but that opening of part 1 just seemed to hold you by the gut like nothing else ever created.
@@ereagan4 I was remembering the chair getting thrown through the window/door and thinking they threw him through the window/door
@@katsfairytale An empty chair gets thrown through the patio doors. Even in the uncut version.
How is James not freaking out I wouldn’t even be able to contain myself , first Jamie lee Curtis now he’s in the scream house WTH I remember when I was subscribed and only 50,000 subs this is awesome James & Chelsea
And Chelsea
(Edit, thanks mate)
@@mercedes_nuts yes the queen
from practical folks... looks where they are now 🙂
@@rosetownstumpcity actual GOALS
I remember when the original Friday The 13th Kill Count was like 7 hours old, Dead Meat is one of the only channels I’ve been watching since the first upload
Scream is a series where the "weaker" movies are not nearly as bad as the lesser films in other franchises. Hopefully the new one doesn't mess anything up.
The Scream franchise only has one bad movie. The rest are either good or ok.
@@SquishyOfCinder Scream 3 was fun to watch
@@Matthew-ge8hc It’s fun to watch but it’s a bad movie.
Scream as a franchise has easily one of the best averages, surpassed only by Evil Dead.
Are including the TV show in this? No one ever talks about it but I liked it lol
Best final girl line ever is in Scream 2.
Sidney: "You're forgetting one thing about Billy Loomis"
Mickey: "Whats that?"
Sidney: "I fucking killed him"
Fully agreed. I also love in the first movie when Randy and Stu are begging her to give them the gun and accusing each other as the killer, and she says "Fuck you both!" Best final girl, ever.
THIS LINE!!!! and Sidneys rant at Roman in the third one where she ends his whole career telling him she’s heard all this shit before and he can’t blame anyone else for what he’s doing is absolutely iconic. She’s THE final girl and honestly my favourite female character from any film.
@@christiandorr1546 Poor Randy though. That almost got him.
Epic line!
Or the line in the fifth one when Sidney is at Stu's house again after many years, Ghostface calls her and she shuts his call, saying "Fuck this, i'm bored"
She is the ultimate final girl
The contrast between how cold the colors are in Scream and how warm the colors actually are in the house is blowing my mind.
Spoiler Alert for Scream 5:
THESE TWO REALLY SITTING HERE PRETENDING LIKE THEY WEREN’T IN SCREAM 5
nah fr i screamed of happiness when i saw them.
Bro for some reason I watched the movie last week in theaters and I did not realize they were in it. I have no idea why
I was so excited when I saw him ngl
I was so happy to see them and I could only imagine how excited they were when they got that email 😂😂
WAIT WHAT WHERE WERE THEY I DIDNT NOTICE THEM???
Something that I just noticed in my previous rewatch of Scream is that when Billy first climbs through Sidney’s window, an acoustic cover of Don’t Fear the Reaper is playing in the background. This is cool not only because of it referencing Halloween (1978) but also because it’s an audio cue for Billy being the killer. Also the idea of embracing a personification of death also relates to Billy’s desire to get uh, ‘intimate’ with Sidney before killing her. Just something really cool that I noticed!
Honestly Randy doing a British accent feels so in character, so many nerdy dudes will just break out into random impressions for a quick laugh
I like Chelsea's take on "Strong Female Character". "Strong" doesn't mean strong physically. It mean STRONG as a character. Depth. Moral ambiguity.
You can be strong willed while still being feminine sensitive and vulnerable aka not embody a man psyche attitude actions and persona where you seem butch or lesbo and aggressive...girls want that ...not a female pretending to act like a man for the plot or situations
Strong means strongly written.
@@razkablelesbians don't have to be that way you know? In fact a good majority are just your average woman.
some writers take strength as a lack of vulnerability, but vulnerability is strength. so many "strong women" characters are written as over-the-top badasses who are bothered by nothing. that's just a caricature that seems like a mockery as Chelsea points out
I would LOVE to see Mathew Lillard on the podcast! I see him staying involved in the horror community all the time I'm sure he'd be so down.
I didn't know I needed something so much until I read this
Maybe at least a promo interview for Scream 5.
He might not be in it but I feel like he loves the series so much, he would do promo work for it despite that fact.
Would love to see him on the pod! He was a joy to catch on Twin Peaks: The Return and gave a mind-blowing performance in the short time he was on the show.
How dope would it be to have both Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich on the podcast? They would probably do it. They go to horror conventions together all the time, and seem to really enjoy talking about their experience making Scream, and how it still resonates with people today.
@@RealBradMiller It's probably tied with Scream if not, better for me in terms of performance.
Tour de force for all the 5-10 minutes that he is in it.
As a child of the 90s (born late 80s), I feel like Scream stirs up so much nostalgia because it was OUR generations slasher flick. Rather than always looking back on classics from Psycho to Jason to Halloween, we finally had a horror villain of our own. Ghostface wasn’t supernatural, just a deranged person with a knife, a phone, and a mask, which made the killer seem so much more believable and terrifying.
Agreed... Scream was amazing
Can we please talk about how Chelsea can pull off any hairstyle? She could honestly probably pull off Gale’s bad part three bangs!
Chelsea is beautiful but nobody can pull off Gale's bangs.
Let’s not get crazy 🤣
Those bangs were god awful, yes, but I think that Chelsea could definitely pull them off. Maybe she'll try it for the podcast they'll likely do on Scream 5.
See, they talk about how unrealistic the voice changer is but they don't talk about how unrealistic Gale's bangs are. No woman would get it irl because no woman can pull THAT off. Not even Chels.
Scream 4 is great, I can’t wait to see how they continue the series in Scream 5
Imagine being verified
yeah i really adored scream 4
I love your videos bro
Will you make a updated history of ghostface
I like Scream 4 better than 2 and 3
Outside of Evil dead franchise I find Scream to be the most rewatchable franchise . I can put on any Scream film when I'm bored and be in a good mood after. Also, once you watch one you wanna watch them all.
facts!!! i literally just put on any scream movie and chill lol
Yep! I watched Scream 4 at the weekend and it was great
3 weeks ago on my day off I put on the first one and was so into it I just rewatched the whole series.
I mean, you do have a point
Matthew Lillard actively stands by the fact Stu didn't die. To the point he wanted to drop one of those tv's on a dummy and show at most you'd have like a broken nose or something. He just had such a passionate belief for it, it makes me want it myself. Like a killer who got to learn from his mistakes, thus making him an even better killer.
Billy stabbed him too many times even if Stu was just concussed; he still bled out
not to mention Stu was originally meant to be the villain in Scream 3, he was going to be in prison with a bunch of fans trying to kill Sidney for him
@@redwitch95 that might have been amazing
Didnt he also get electrocuted from the TV? I always thought he did.
@@treemarie213100 that was always my assumption, but like if they explained it somehow I might accept it not killing him, but yeah from my understanding he is dead. But I'd love to Matthew again
I'd understand them killing off one of the main cast, and I'd be heartbroken. That being said, last time they killed off one of the main cast I think was a mistake. Losing Randy was a serious blow to the franchise.
👨🏻🔪🩸
If they don't discuss Gale's bangs from Scream 3 for 45 mins, then what's even the point!?
they didn't 😔
When I was 8 i was on set for scream 4. We delivered straw to the barn for the stabathon part and it was cool to grow up and relive that memory
Chelsea’s look is EVERYTHING!
I really hope you're a girl
@@grXsh050 if you want me to be 🤷🏻♀️
Ayo chill chill 😂
@@grXsh050 why does it matter if he’s a girl or not lol, men aren’t allowed to think a girl looks nice without being attracted to her?
@@WiredLain_ Why do have to take everything serious
Its funny because Skeet in an interview recently said that he was annoyed by Matthew Lilliard lol. He didnt realize the movie was meant to comedic and so he thought he thought Matthew was ruining the movie.
Do you like scary movies, James?
*Yes*
What's your favorite scary movie?
*The Thing*
I liked that movie. It was scary.
Ghost face and James become friends
I mean James IS Ghostface to be fair, kills off actors with rotten scores
@@Lemon_Oppy a man of culture, i see 👀
Gale is a textbook mean girl with a heart of gold. Yes, Sidney and her have a rocky start but they work better together than against each other. And imo, I think one of the big three that might get killed off is Dewey. If I had it my way, none of them would die. But, we know it's a big possibly.
"Heart of goal" describes Gale perfectly.
@@chandyran fixed. My fault lol
Welp. Lol, I guess.
I remember reading that Dewey was written as a dumb hunk (think Ash Williams or Zap Brannigan), but Wes Craven loved the way David Arquette played they character in auditions so they went with him. If you watch the movie you can picture a Evil Dead 2-era Bruce saying those lines in his own way and they would still work, but the character wouldn’t be as endearing.
I personally loved Jill’s monologue and then her staging the attacks on herself because I think it’s supposed to comment on how ridiculous her motivations and how over the top reboots are and then trying to change the formula.
Disagree but just came to say I'm glad Chelsea and I agree that Emma Roberts isn't a very good actress. She's okay at best.
You silly bitches were in 5cream? I chuckled out loud in the theater when I saw you guys. Props to you. You're forever a part of the official scream franchise! Ballers!
where?
That ending when Chelsea’s like “alright night everybody” is so freaking funny I had to press rewind! Love and appreciate all the hard work you guys put into this!
My favorite thing that Mickey/Timothy Olyphant says is: “Since Derek here disappeared on my ass, ive been on my own, all fuckin’ night. Thanks a lot partner.” I love how he manipulated Sidney easily i just love that line
Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard are adorable together IRL too. I’ve seen interviews with them from cons, and they definitely have a real bromance going on
NOES is my favorite franchise, but Scream is a close second, and Dead Meat was what made me love it. Thank you so much, James, Chelsea, and of course Wes (RIP)
James switching up on Scream 3 after basically trashing it the whole kill count is funny, also him switching up on 2 was funny to see
2 and 3 are kinda meh but still cool
@@lochofmceo yeah that’s true, tho I like all of them for different reasons, I think I like 3 more than 2😂
@@jeromeinthehousesowatchyam4237 agreed.3 was really creative
For a moment, I thought Chelsea was dressed as April O'Neil, but after remembering this was filmed in Stu's house, I corrected myself. XD
Same
Omg I wonder if the look for gale was inspired by April O'Neil. I can't unsee it now lol
if it was yellow, maybe i'd see it. but that's deffo Gale, because it's green
In any other horror movie Dewey would be two different things he would either be the comic relief character who is killed off and isn't that important or if they wanted to have his character be around like he is he would be a Chris Hemsworth type character. Strong good looking alpha male type who gets with the hot reporter. I can not think of any other horror movie where the main guy is a goofball
My ranking would be 1,4,3,2 but I agree with pretty much everything you said about all the movies except for Emma Roberts. I think she does a great job as Jill and her reveal as Ghostface in my opinion is the second-best Ghostface reveal after billy and stu of course. She makes jill feel bat-shit crazy and scary, killing all her friends and mum all for 15 minutes of fame. Her acting feels at the right level and in line with jill's established nature and vibe. But loved this podcast the set, the discussions and of course I love scream so hearing how much you guys love it is awesome.
Another thing I hate about scream 3 is the voice changer means we hear way less of ghost faces voice which is literally iconic
Sidney's dog's name in Scream 3 is Cherokee. This was super fun to watch, I too look forward to a full series rewatch before Scream 5...I mean Scream. Thank you both so much for loving horror movies so much and taking the time to put these videos together, it is greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing the videos you took while at Stu Macher's house.
Scream - Billy & Stu did NOT rape Maureen. They killed her after she slept with Cotton Weary.
Scream 2 - Gale DID recognize Mrs. Loomis. She just didn't recognize her AS Mrs. Loomis. Earlier, Debbie Salt said she was at one of Gale's seminars and Gale said "I thought you looked familiar." Also, Sidney was avoiding reporters like the plague. So it makes sense she wouldn't run into Mrs. Loomis. Cotton Weary is my second favorite character (behind Randy Meeks), but I also love Liev Schreiber.
Scream 3 - the voice changer may not exist, but it could theoretically exist within this world (which isn't the real world). Roman had access to film technology that he used to have the voice changer. Roman pressed on a nerve or something under his arm to prevent her from finding his pulse. It's something that can actually be done. Wes Craven said they were going to have a scene where Roman explains it, but felt like it wasn't needed. Roman just provided motivation for Billy. Billy & Stu still planned everything themselves, ESPECIALLY the murders in Scream (which Roman knew nothing about). Honestly, Jennifer Jolie is the only character (and thing) I hate in the entire franchise. Although, her character doesn't make me hate Scream 3. It's still tied with my other 3 favorite films of all time.
Scream 4 - I love the opening. The Kristen Bell and Anna Paquin scene is my favorite in the opening. Jill is the only killer to actually survive their movie. At least that was the intention. Craven said that he purposely had her moving in the final shot so she COULD return. And, no, I don't mean Kirby. Kirby wasn't a killer and she wasn't in the final shot. So I'm absolutely NOT talking about Kirby. Jill is actually one of my favorite killers. I've never once noticed the "Scream 4 filter". Seriously. I didn't even know that was a thing until this year when I saw a comment about it. I think the film looks great.
I love all of the Scream films equally. They are my favorite films of all time. Each one has something I love over the others.
(BTW, Free Guy is a fun movie.)
Ummm Jill did not survive, I think you’re confusing her with Kirby.
@@dakingbey Lol No, I'm not. If I was talking about Kirby, I would have said Kirby.
Here's what is said verbatim between Wes and Emma during the commentary. Skip to 1:42:21 to hear it.
ER: Originally I was suppose to get shot in the head.
WC: Yep. That's true.
ER: And they shot me in the chest.
WC: I made a battlefield decision.
ER: So you never know.
WC: You never know.
ER: I could come back, but I did stay still when I died. Just in case.
WC: You did, but if you notice the very last shot. There's just a microscopic twitch of your face. We took it out optically, but then I said "No. Put it back."
ER: Ha. "Put it back."
WC: Put it back.
So Craven DID purposely have Jill move in the final shot so Jill COULD return. I'm not saying she ever will. I'm just saying he purposely made it a possibility.
@@Joker_JAK ok
Dewey is probably one of my favorite characters in anything, the way he just adopts people like Randy's younger sister or Sidney is just so sweet. He doesn't leave people even when he isn't "connected" to them anymore, we all wanna be like Dewey.
Sid is also just amazing and without a doubt my favorite horror character, what a bad-ass. She also has a huge heart like Dewey (but no one can really compete with him).
Even Gale grows a lot as a person, and even when she's "annoying" later in the series it's always with the end goal of ending those murders. You can really tell how her and Dewey make eachother grow.
Scream just nails characters and their relationships. Always makes your heart feel full and happy
Scream is, and always will be, my absolute favorite. I’m so excited for this and so jealous you get to just hang out in Stu’s house alone!!
When they're talking about Matthew and Chelsea goes "he's so tall" 🤣🤣
James deputy Dewey's facial expressions were on point, Chelsea looks great.
James' impression of Dewy is absolute perfection
I love Gal’s arc by the end of Scream 2! She gives up the story for someone else! I also love Scream 2!
I knoooow I can't believe so many ppl apparently doesn't like it that much? Hahaha
Shorty : [answers phone] Yo.
The Killer : Hello, Shorty. What are you doing?
Shorty : Nothin. Just watching the game. Smokin some bud.
The Killer : Are you all alone?

Shorty : WAZZZUP!
[killer looks at phone]
Shorty : Yo, Dookie! Pick up the phone!
Dookie : Yo.

[Dookie and roommate hang up]
Shorty : What you doin my son?
The Killer : Nothing. Just chillin. Killin.
Shorty : True.
YEEEEES! I’ll never watch Scream 1 the same since Scary Movie lol
Sidney is my second favorite final girl. I don’t know why but my favorite is Grace from Ready or Not. Have about a top ten list of favorite final girls James?
Yes! They should definitely do a final girl ranking
As someone who has lived near farmland since middle school it is funny to hear people’s shock at the farm land noises and sights lol
I forget sometimes that people aren't used to hearing cows lol
Dewey's theme was first used in the mid 90's classic Broken Arrow starting John Travolta and Christian Slater
Came here to say the same. Hans Zimmer classic!
A HUGE Congrats for making it in to the series itself!
Well deserved.
1. Scream
2. Scream 5
3. Scream 4
4. Scream 2
5. Scream 3
I love every Scream movie even 3
My ranking is the same
My ranking is the exact same
The best channel of YT making a podcast about one of the best horror franchises out there, i really hope the new Scream turns out to be good
Did anyone else freak out in the cinema when they saw James and Chelsea in scream 2022?????
Same, I was bummed when I figured out that it meant there was no actual flamethrower 😐
She so cute..surprised she's not in everything...she has a face for tv...she reminds me of Chelsea from that's so raven...theres an earnest smile she has...shame she isn't a young adult in the 90's...they would of cast her for everything with that smile
YES!!!!!!
YES!
Officer Doofy "i told you not to disturb me while I'm cleaning my room"😅
@20:00 Dewey was also the older brother to her best friend that is now passed. He always was an older brother to Sid and no one ever talks about how important that is to these movies.
Scream is by far my favorite slasher series of all time. And the whodunit element makes it so rewatchable.
POV: You anticipate the podcast more than Kill Counts.
Here after watching you guys on the new Scream (2022) movie. Props to you guys! Much appreciation.
The thing about the Scream movies is that they always have touchstones that in some ways are very of their time but are also prescient. Scream I feel got in the zeitgeist due to Scary Movie among people who were not horror fans but that cast is magic. Thanks to Scream 2 the song "I Think I Love You" is karaoke go to. Since Scream 3 did have Kevin Williamson writing it, Ehren Kruger kind of makes it a parody of itself and there are definite sci fi inspired elements. Scream 4 feels like they were creating their own tropes based on the way that world would be due the influence of the Stab movies.I like that it we see the progression of the character from high school to college to working for a non profit to a book tour so I wonder where she would be in her life in the new movie. 1, 2, 4, 3 for me. Looking forward to what ever y'all do in connection to the new Scream next year. B~)
i was born in the same year as the original Scream and i still consider it the best thing i share a birth year with; love it so much
What I want most for Dewey in the new Scream is that the filmmakers tap into Arquette's death match experience and Dewey has a brutal knock-down-dragout brawl with the killer.
I'm currently working on a show with Parker Posey and I did tell her she was the best part of Scream 3 as well! She's hilarious and has so much energy.
Omg :D
Congrats!
Lucky man.
Omg im a huge parker posey fan and was just thinking ab her and hoping she was working on something new. Lucky dog!
James look very simillar to Dewey just need a mustache
Omg yeah lmao
35:16 Derek singing was the most horrifying part of the 2nd film.
The most horrifying thing was Mickey encouraging Derek to do it and clapping along with it like a bestie when in reality he’s basically setting up Sidney to get emotionally tortured later.
That’s the most legitimately horrifying part of that sequence.
I love how you guys described Sidney Prescott and what makes her such an amazing character. Y’all literally said my exact feelings about her and it’s why she’s my favorite fictional character. Also the amazing Neve Campbell helps too. I also liked how you gave credit to her in Scream 4. I’ve heard people say she wasn’t as bad ass in that movie, but I loved her in it because she’s an adult now and played a more Protector role. Like as soon as these young teens were getting attacked Sidney was out the door and to the rescue! Sidney is an ICON.
I think it will be Dewey that gets killed off in the new Scream film. Makes the most sense. It would be hard for both Gale and Sidney to cope with while also trying to survive the killer. It would be a punch to the gut for the fans as well. Can’t wait for this film to be released. I was able to get the 4K Steelbook for the 25th anniversary!
I rewatched these recently (I've seen them countless times) and I had the subtitles on and I only just realized at the end of Scream, while Dewey is being wheeled away into the ambulance, he is asking for Gale while she is busy reporting on the story, whereas at the end of Scream 2, Gale abandons her cameraman asking her to report so that she can get into the ambulance with Dewey 🥺
I think Emma Roberts is up there with Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard with her performance. I think her performance is so bat-shit crazy and it really works.
I heard Wes Craven's commentary once. He said in the first movie, the stunt man who played Ghostface took the blade and wiped it clean on during the takes and that became consistent in the movies
About Gale: She's not bad batch, she's not murdering people.
Good soldiers follow orders.
My Scream Rankings
Scream 1
Scream 4
Scream 2
Scream 3
Hopefully Scream 5 is above average
I have the exact same ranking. I had so much fun with Scream 4 that I honestly didn't have any scenes I was bored with. Scream 3 just has so much that kills the fun for me...I hated the retcon of the first movies killers' motivation, hated the magical voice changer and felt the movie was top comedic. I like the opening sequence, I like the kill where Ghostface hides in the rack of costumes, the Sidney/Stu movie set and that's all my positives honestly. Scream 2 has its issues but I wasn't taken out as much by it
Honestly the appreciation for Gale is so amazing to hear. Shes my favourite final woman and hands down my absolute favourite horror character
I'm calling it right now. I feel like the person out of 3 OG's to bite the bullet, is going to be Dewey. Scream 5 is going be a force awakens type of deal
Scream is probably my favorite horror film, I literally can't wait for Scream 5! I have fond memories of basically all of them, and I'm going to be marathoning them for my birthday this Friday!
Bro when I saw you in the movie I legit started yelling 💀
They should've done a bit where Chelsea dubs in something James says with the voice changer and they act surprised that it has their voices.
I feel like this was a decent idea but looking back at the wording is terrible i feel like it reads like a six year old wrote it.
I'm glad James mentioned how Scream was the movie that got him into the horror genre because it was the same for me.
Same. In fact I have a friend who is trying to get into the genre and I kept telling her “Scream. Scream. Scream”
I'm loving this Dewey love. He's really the best, and I'm really worried for him in the new movie.
Damn don’t watch Scream 5 ~ he dies
Ghostface undeniably has the sexiest voice in horror.
Chelsea, you explained the way I feel about these movies with one word: cozy. That is exactly how feel. They're almost like feel-good movies to me.
The thing about Dewey is that a lot of his goofiest stuff doesn't get called out. It just happens, and it's normal for the people around him so they take his goofiness in stride. It's part of why he feels so real, because the reactions of the people AROUND him who know ihm well feel real.
Scream 2 is 5 stars, most people hold it in high regards. I’ve never heard it called a mess before shocking to hear it goes down for you James when you watch it, imo it’s one of the few sequels that’s as good as the original. Excellent suspense set pieces, jada theater scene, smg cici sorority house, gale in studio, Sidney/hallie in cop car. I mean come on now
I enjoy Scream 2, but it's NO WHERE near the original Scream. None of the sequels come close. I'd say it's Scream 1 by a mile. Then Scream 2, then Scream 3 and 4 are tied. (I haven't seen the last two Screams because they just don't seem interesting to me. They seem too targeted toward today's generation of teenagers, a generation of people i feel I have zero connection with. As someone who was a pre-teen/teenager when the 3 Screams were coming out, I always felt a connection with them. And then 4 was still pretty good. But now I'm nearly 40 and Scream 5 and now 6 just look like typical modern 2020s teen crap.
I know what Chelsea means about not being able to NOT notice the location when you are familiar with the area. Scream 5 was filmed in Wilmington and I can't not notice that. The cardinal bowling alley, the school, the hospital, and even just the streets in the background when Judy is driving.
Loved your cameo in the new scream. I about jumped out of my seat when it happened. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the new one.
Us Gale fans exist,guys. 😭 Also love James' and Chelsea's costumes. It's such a creative couple's costume.
Look at em sittin there talkin about Scream (2022) like they aren’t IN it😂🧐
ahhh the scream series is my favorite horror franchise!! this episode is such a treat, so jealous you guys got to stay at the scream house. love the costumes!!
my personal ranking would be scream > scream 4 > scream 2 > scream 3 - but i love them all to death
I love all screams equally. Roman is my favorite Ghostface. Randy has my favorite death scene. Jill's motivation is awesome. This is in my top five favorite horror movie franchises along with Saw,NOES,Childs play, and Final destination. Looking forward to January.
What genre would the butterfly effect categorize under? ...the reason I ask is bcuz me and you have similar taste in the horror genre. I'm curious to know what your opinion is for the movie collection: the butterfly effect.
@@cassiesloan991 sci fi horror. My ranking is 1,3,2 but they're all cool.
My ranking is
1-obviously
4- I think it’s the best Ghostface reveal since OG, and this is the first one I got to see in theaters when I was 11 lol and I think if 2 and 3 didn’t exist it would be a great double feature
3- Like James said this is the most fun, and personally I don’t mind them changing Billy and Stus original motivation cus at the end of the day they still did everything, I just wish they had Roman doing more throughout the movie. And when Sidney holds his hand before he dies, it’s so sad cus she found someone who can relate to her and the things her mother’s choices did to her, but she has to immediately say goodbye cus it’s just another part of her mother that is messed up and insane
2- boring imo, killer reveal was disappointing, but has two of my favorite scenes in the franchise : opening kills and Sarah Michelle’s death scene. But it has the least entertaining final showdown
Isnt it great that they had Matthew lillard come back for scream 2 just for a cameo at the sorority party
I went to see a twernty-fifth anniversary screening of the original Scream a month ago at my local cinema (last night I went to a showing of The Lost Boys and two years ago It was a showing of The Shining).
Me too! It was so fun because our theater was decently packed and it was a mix of people who were already fans and people who had never seen it, so the audience was really fun! Nobody was super loud or annoying but it was fun hearing the little comments or gasps in the background, lol.
Growing up; scream 3 was always my favorite because it’s makes so much sense for it to be there. The movie within a movie is such a staple of the franchise. It gets so much shit, especially from people who cite scream 4 as they’re favorite when scream 4 literally wouldn’t exist without 3.
It’s totally fine to have your favorite, but it makes me hella sad seeing 3 as a renowned ‘least favorite’. It’s so much fun and integral to Sydney’s story. The killer isn’t my favorite, but the motive is! And the opening scene HITS 😭
24:53 Billy and Stu were the most vicious Ghostfaces because they full on gutted their victims and it's scary how into describing how to gut someone Stu got in the scene at the fountain showing how much he enjoyed him and Billy tormenting and killing Casey and Steve. And as for Billy he messes with Sidney's head by dropping the phone out of his pocket giving away that he's the killer and then while he's in jail has Stu phone Sidney as Ghostface to make her think Billy's innocent. Then at the school he subtly mocks her mother's death by acting like it was no different to his mother leaving his dad after Hank's affair with Maureen. He pressures her into having sex with him so she'll fit the "sex equals death" cliche he believes, fakes his own death to fuck with her by having Stu pretend to stab him then later him and Stu reveal themselves.
Final Destination & Scream been my fave horror franchises since a kid, Scream 1 is a classic and the best of course but i hot take is usually 4 being the second best.
I was lucky enough to meet Matt and Skeet a few weeks back at a con - they’re both amazing guys and play off each other just as much in real life as they do in the movie! Matt had such a long queue that he kept taking short breaks to run down the line and apologise that it was taking so long
I love hearing this! He sounds like such a nice guy.
Congrats on your appearance in the new film. I freaked out when I saw you two.
I just want to say, you're both so adorable in how deeply you just love the Scream series and it really made this a lot of fun. You guys are always great but this might be my favorite podcast.
Scream is hands down, my favorite horror film series of all time. The first box set DVD I ever bought and watched them on repeat with directors commentary a million times. My kids are old enough now to enjoy them and I am stoked for it. I can't wait to take them to see 5.
I spent 3 months of my last pregnancy talking myself out of naming my daughter Sydney. 😂
Sydney is a great name! Why talk yourself out of it lol
@@maineman5757 I knew I wouldn't be able to call her by her name without quoting the movie. 🤣
I've watched every kill count but this is my first podcast and I've come to the conclusion that I can just listen to James talk about movies 24/7... Yous guys are a duo can't wait to binge the podcast playlist.
Neve Campbell was literally doing like 3 movies in a roll during that year, so she could only be available on SCREAM 3 for like 5-6 days
I rewatched them all recently (even slogging through the mtv show) in prep for January. I think if Parker Posey wasn’t in Scream 3 it would be a full struggle to watch.
My rank order is probably 1,4,2 then 3. But I honestly love all of them in many different ways.
51:10 Hypersexuality as a coping mechanism after a rape *is* a thing but also yeah that's perhaps not the best route to opt for in a movie where you don't have time to delve into the intricacies of that trauma.
Yeah I feel like having the recurring characters really adds a lot to these movies. Even when some parts of the movies aren't the best, you always have the entertaining characters to fall back on. Love the podcast btw
