“When I discovered podcasts solely dedicated to the Scream franchise, I was delighted on what I might find. After trying to listen to this show, I find it revolting what this host (that refers to himself in the third-person) continuously preaches and virtue signals on.
Ryan, you’re one to talk about rallying against toxic fans when you reach levels of toxicity about what you don’t agree with. Don’t like Scream 3 that much and think it’s too much like a contrived Scooby Doo movie? I can’t trust you! You don’t matter! You think that Scream 4 is a return to form? How dare you besmirch my unhealthy obsession of a movie!! Oh, you would be excited if a prior character were to return to a horror movie? You’re ridiculous and stupid!! Listen, bud — it’s a horror movie. It’s FICTION. It’s not that deep. See, when you classify Scream as an elite and classy franchise, you’re delimiting what Scream can be. The franchise is centered around a villain who wears the same costume and does the same material movie after movie…we’re not dealing with realistic elements for most of what this franchise is. And these terms “classy” and “elite” make you a killjoy gatekeeper.
If you enjoy RCS’ constant interrupting, catching his breath, and moaning over obsessive topics, such as ‘90s pop movie stars being “ultimate horror,” then this show is for you. Perhaps less self-indulgence and a more objective appreciation for the movies and its fans would make this show tolerable.”
