SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC PLOT DETAILS.
The first Scream is one of the most important films in horror history. It invented meta storytelling, Ghostface became an iconic character, and it delivered a number of memorable moments. In the quarter century since, there have been five sequels with very little change to the formula that made it initially successful.
So far, it has worked, with each installment delivering a good time. Scream VI continues some of the trademarks of the franchise. Were they able to pull it off, or is it starting to get stale? How well would the movie get along without Neve Campbell? Would they be able to pull off another great opening?
Taking a horror favorite out of a small setting and taking it to Manhattan has not fared so well in the past. How did Ghostface react to being in a much bigger city? Did the plot do a good job of incorporating the Big Apple, or did it get too cute for its own good? Will the franchise be hitting the road again?
You cannot have a spoiler-filled episode without talking about the ending. Surprisingly, one of us predicted one of the biggest moments of Scream VI. Not as surprising is one of us completely whiffed. Was the twist really that clever, or did one of the best-delivered lines of the franchise throw us off the scent?
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we celebrated the Oscars by looking at the Best Picture-nominated film Triangle of Sadness. We try to make sense of it and discuss whether it deserves such esteemed recognition. We also discussed the erratic Irish folk horror Unwelcome.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
