405: This Isn't a Comedy, It's a Horror Film (Scream 4)

In this episode of 'Tis the Podcast, we're continuing our Spooky Month(s) celebration with a discussion of the 2011 horror film Scream 4. Joining us are our friends Jay from Film Strip Podcast and Kendall from 2 Girls 1 Crypt, as we dive into the world of Woodsboro and the latest installment of the Scream franchise.

We explore the return of Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, and the new generation of teenagers who are being stalked by the infamous Ghostface killer. We also delve into the involvement of horror masterminds Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, who brought the Scream franchise to life, and how their creative vision shaped the series.

From the self-aware, meta approach to horror to the clever twists and turns, we break down what makes Scream 4 a standout in the franchise. We also examine the themes of social media, celebrity culture, and the commodification of trauma, which add a fresh layer of commentary to the film.
