Summary

Now that the original Scream is as old as the late 70s/early 80s slashers it was satirizing, it seemed like a good time to revisit it and see how well it works today. The film was a breath of fresh air for the horror genre back in 1996, but the onslaught of imitators it inspired might make it difficult to remember just how groundbreaking and controversial it was.

Chris grew up on horror films and appreciated all of Scream's references and the statements it was making on the genre. Carlos wasn't a big fan of these types of movies, but still understood that this was more than just a standard slasher and loved it for that reason. Donna hated being scared and avoided the film until she was forced to watch it for this episode.

Topics include: the resurgence of slashers in the late 90s and how quickly that trend ran its course, Carlos' only issue with the otherwise incredible opening scene, why the film is still disturbing despite the fact that there's more gore on network TV these days, how much Donna dislikes Randy and a debate about how authentic the character actually is, the observation that the movie starts strong and ends strong and very little happens in between, some thoughts on where the horror genre is now and the sorts of observations further Scream sequels should be making, and much much more!

0:00.0	Hey guys, so if you're not following us on Facebook and didn't see our post there, you're
0:04.5	probably wondering why this episode is all about scream and not Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the TV
0:10.1	series. Here's what I'm learning about the podcast. The second I announced anything resembling
0:15.3	long-term plans, the universe sees fit to step in and go, bitch, you crazy. There were some technical difficulties
0:22.3	with it. I think they've been resolved, just not in time to have it ready to go up today.
0:28.1	And honestly, the bigger reason is that after listening to it, I think we could do more with it
0:32.9	than just release it as an episode of this show. I think there might be something bigger and better on the
0:38.3	horizon. So I apologize if you're disappointed and you were looking forward to that. But the
0:43.2	silver lining is that it might lead to something even cooler, which is all I can say right now,
0:49.0	because as previously stated, the universe hates when I try to make anything official. So we decided to put this one out
0:55.8	instead. It was supposed to be our surprise Halloween episode, and now it's our surprise October 17th
1:03.0	episode, which the internet tells me is National Pasta Day. So enjoy this with a nice hot bowl of fettuccini, I guess. I like mine, Eldente.
1:15.3	My dad told me once that Al Dente was Italian for fuck it, it's done, and I believe that for
1:20.9	many more years than I am comfortable admitting. But yeah, I did promise you a month of new episodes
1:26.6	and we're sticking to it. So even though
1:28.9	Scream is going up today, there will still be a bonus Halloween episode. We'll see you back
1:33.9	here next week when that gum you like is going to come back in style. And now here comes the intro
1:39.1	that Carlos is going to hate me for putting in. Hello? Do you remember the movie called Scream?
1:46.6	You're going to be so sorry you did that. Hello and welcome to Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off the rose-tinted glasses to see how it holds up.
2:13.8	I'm Chris.
2:14.5	I'm Donna.
2:15.2	And I'm Carlos.
