Ryan spent the last two years unflinchingly standing in solidarity with Neve Campbell and the Scream franchise, and supported continuing on with Scream 7. A vast majority of fans believe the trailer for Scream 7 is terrific and this entry has some of the greatest potential ever in the series due to the talent involved. However, in an effort to display objectivity, this episode explores potential red flags of Scream 7 and what could go wrong despite the high hopes and optimism. Ryan focuses concerns on the identity of Ghostface and his/her motive, while Jess Melendez worries about the big-picture relevancy of Scream 7 in a chapter of Sidney's story. In the introduction, Anthony Dapuzzo (Never Split Up podcast) shares fears of Scream 7 playing into the modern trend of easter eggs.

"The Final Scream," the third and final spec script written LA-Times best-selling writer, Joe Vallese, will be released on the SWRCS podcast on December 19, 2025, on the heels of the Scream (1996) anniversary and the holiday season. This script follows "Scream 7" (the end of the Carpenter sister era, episode 112) and "Screams (a Gale-centric script, episode 155). "The Final Scream" completes this SWRCS trilogy by focusing on Sidney's family (two younger daughters, unlike Tatum in the upcoming Scream 7) and her marriage to Mark Kinciad (not Evans, like in the upcoming Scream 7). The plot is: Sidney Prescott's sense of peace and security is unmoored by the revelation of a dark secret - and a slew of new Ghostface murders hitting too close to home. We hope this script provides some closure to the Sidney/Mark Kincaid fans since Patrick Dempsey did not return for the feature film releasing in February. "The Final Scream" is emotional and contemplative, yet it's also epic and wide in scope. Gale Weathers also assumes an important role and the arc of the film ties into the fabric of the original trilogy. Like the past two scripts, "The Final Scream" will be read aloud by Ryan like an audio book and released as a podcast episode. The script itself will be available to Patreon subscribers Tier 2 and above to read. We hope to see everyone on December 19 for the premiere!

Gale Weathers and Courteney Cox made horror movie history with Scream VI. She is now the most featured horror heroine to appear consecutively in all the films in the series.

One of the trademarks of the SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers podcast is Ryan's particular affinity for "Scream 3."

Scream was known as the self-referential film that cineaphiles loved because their knowledge and interest of film was validated. The best avatar representing the meta aspect of the original film is Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy). In Scream 3, we were introduced briefly to his sister Martha (Heather Matarazzo). In the Radio Silence era, the bloodline continued with his niece, the horror movie expert Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and nephew, the jock with a heart of gold Chad (Mason Gooding Jr.) taking on central roles.

Happy release week of "Scream VI," Screamers! One of the most valuable aspects of "Scream" as an elite horror franchise is the complex, ever-evolving relationship between its two insurmountable heroines over the first five films, Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. They started out as enemies; punches were thrown before they began to hug one another to say hello. But massacre after massacre allowed them to understand each other in a way unlike anyone else, even the common link between these two women, co-survivor Dewey Riley.

Happy Valentine's Day! The "Scream" film series may be a meta-slasher-who-done-it about Sidney Prescott and how her mother's past comes back to haunt her. But alongside the genre-blending cleverness and final girl narrative, there is a parallel storyline across the franchise that is a love story between journalist and author, Gale Weathers, and the deputy-turned-Sheriff, Dewey Riley. And it is a love story that could challenge the likes of "Titanic" in its epic scope, emotional strength, and complexity. For a Valentine's Day special, join Ryan and a slew of Patreons for an episode detailing the love story of Gale and Dewey, the parallel real-life relationship and marriage of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and thoughtful questions about the hypotheticals of these characters.

Long before Jamie Lee Curtis graced "Halloween" in 2018, reviving her role as Laurie Strode and being blended into a new narrative with a younger cast, "Scream" did the exact same thing eight years earlier. Sidney, Gale, and Dewey return to lead a new cast ensemble as the "legacy" original cast members. Functionally, this allows "Scream 4" to push forward a brilliant commentary on the remake culture of the 2000-2010s. However, "Scream 4" also continues their storylines after what we saw in their happy endings at the end of the third film. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss how they use the trio in "Scream 4."

Ten years had passed since we last saw Sidney Precott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley united at the end of "Scream 4." For better or worse, they have changed a great deal. Additionally, in the fifth film, they function differently than ever before, taking a break from driving the story and rather supporting a new plot in the franchise. In "Scream," they take on the roles of the legacy characters in a requel or legasequel. This week, Ryan and Amar venture into the drastic changes in the lives of the beloved "Scream" trio and evaluate the success of the character arcs and the performances by Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox. For the introduction, Ryan is joined by Doug Evasick. Ryan and Doug give twenty horror films released in 2022 a thumbs up or thumbs down.

In the final episode of SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers in the year of 2022, Ryan has a jammed packed show. First, Ryan covers additional thoughts about the "Scream VI" Teaser Trailer with Joey Vallese. Ryan and Joey additionally muse about Courteney Cox's work as Gale Weathers and her role as a Scream Queen in the horror genre. In the second half of the episode, which is available exclusively for Patreon subscribers, Ryan is joined by Ryan Young and Amar Karim for a Ryan2 conversation about Sarah Michelle Gellar. Most people know her as the 1990s Scream Queen (Cici Cooper, Helen Shivers) or as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But there is so much more accomplished acting work to her career, many of which Scream fans may not know about. Ryan, Ryan, and Amar evaluate every project in Sarah Michelle Gellar's filmography. Ryan encourages horror fans who are excited for return to TV in "Wolf Pack" this January to utilize free time exploring her lesser-known films, such as "Veronika Decides to Die" (drama), "The Air I Breathe" (drama), "The Return" (genre/thriller), "Possession" (genre/thriller), "Suburban Girl (romantic comedy), and "Southland Tales" (genre/science fiction).

The teaser trailer for "Scream VI" (official title) was released Wednesday, December 14, after months of anticipation and speculation. Unlike the trailer for "Scream" (2022), this was brief, vague, and only contained a handful of cast members in one sequence.

The trailer does not feature Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers or Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed.

"Scream" has always been a franchise of final girls. Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers are two of the most consistent, quality characters in any horror franchise of all time. They are legendary for not having one, uninterrupted, consecutive character arc without their storyline ever. Most "Scream" fans assume they are the final girls of all final girls. In today's episode, the Showersheads put the Scream Queens up against the likes of the other top tier final girls in the cinematic landscape: Laurie Strode from "Halloween," Ellen Ripley from "Alien," and Nancy Thompson from "A Nightmare on Elm Street." In addition, each of the Patreon guests highlights one other final girl that stands out as special to their brand of horror. To conclude the episode, Ryan is joined by Michael Schwartz to briefly discuss and review Todd Field's new film "Tar" starring Cate Blanchett.

"Halloween" has served as the blueprint for "Scream" in many ways. However, the most similar aspect of these two film series rarely gets its due. "Scream 3," which was designed to close out the storyline of original trilogy bares a striking resemblance to "Halloween H20," which in many ways forms the end of a Laurie Strode trilogy after the films in 1978 and 1981. Both films feature a prominent survivor from a previous film killed in the opening scenes. Each of the films end with an epic sense of finality. But more importantly, the character arcs of Sidney Prescott and Laurie Strode each reach their apex through parallel emotional and character beats. Join Ryan and a group of Patreons to discuss the parallels between "Scream 3" and "Halloween H20" for this Halloween special. To conclude the episode, listen to the first "Ryan2" segment with Ryan, Ryan Young and Amar Karim. They discuss the recent events surrounding "Halloween" alum Scot Taylor Compton and Danielle Harris meeting Jamie Lee Curtis at the "Halloween Ends" premiere.

It's the end of an era. Last week, "Halloween Ends" was released theatrically and streaming on Peacock. Jamie Lee Curtis's portrayal as the original final girl, Laurie Strode, has come to a close and yet the final entry to David Gordon Green and Blumhouse's new "Halloween" trilogy has been met with polarizing reactions due to daring narrative choices in regards to Michael Myers.

"No one takes the true fan seriously, not really."

SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers has always functioned as a nostalgia machine for the late 1990s and early 2000s. It comes with the territory; the people who love "Scream" and the films that were influenced by the original trilogy have certain passions for this era in horror films that audiences today have for the post-"Get Out" elevated horror films.

This week, Ryan hosts the Emmy-nominated director of "Yellowjackets," Karyn Kusama, and her husband screenwriter, Phil Hay. The husband-wife filmmaking duo are genre film legends, with their most recent collaborations as "The Invitation" (2015) and "Destroyer" (2018). Slasher fans may be familiar with Kusama's work as a director with "Jennifer's Body" (2009). "Destroyer," starring Nicole Kidman, is one of Ryan's favorite films. In addition, Ryan is joined later on the show by two Patreons, Ryan Young and Joey Noberini. Ryan often puts forth pro-Sam Carpenter sentiments on this podcast. However, because she is a divisive figure, rounding out the debate about the character felt necessary. Ryan Young brings a dissent to Sam Carpenter, while Ryan C. Showers provides a rebuttal. The episode is introduced by Joey Vallese, a recurring guest on the podcast. His upcoming queer-horror book, "It Came from the Closet," features an essay on "Jennifer's Body," which makes Joey well-suited to introduce Kusama and Hay.

The "Requel" became synonymous with "Scream" (2022). However, it was Blumhouse that standardized a formula that "Scream" (2022) utilized, something which revived not only the Ghostface series from an eleven-year hiatus but revitalized the horror-slasher genre in general. The formula worked wonderfully in "Halloween" (2018) and "Scream" (2022), but the cracks that began to appear with the release of "Halloween Kills" (2021) are now becoming bigger flaws as we approach the release of "Halloween Ends" (2022). The formula was a great launching pad, but the problems with the scheduling and financial model are even perhaps affecting "Scream 6" with Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. Join Ryan as he reads aloud an essay he penned about this exact topic, followed by a discussion with a panel of Patreons about the cracks and flaws in the requel formula and legacy cast members.

Being a fan of "Scream," in most cases, means being a fan of Wes Craven. The master of horror, Craven became a household name when he created Freddy Kruger in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in 1984.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" These words literally defined a generation of horror movie fans. And the helm of this question was Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker. No matter who you talk to about "Scream," there is almost not an instance where the 1996 original film is discussed without the resounding adoration for the opening sequence where Casey Becker gets a phone call, watches her boyfriend get murdered, and is fatally attacked herself. It is considered one of the greatest openings to any film in history and set the bar so high, arguably nothing in the "Scream" series has been able to top it.

When Wes Craven passed in 2015, many of us thought we would never see another "Scream" film again.

Kirby Reed became one of the most legendary characters in the "Scream" movie franchise when "Scream 4" premiered. To this day, fans are still enthralled by the performance Hayden Panettiere gave as the tomboy, somewhat androgynous horror movie lover. She was ahead of her time. Due to the fact there has never been a confirmation about the status of Kirby's attack, fans regularly debate whether she survived the ending of "Scream 4" or if she died. And "Scream 5" may not even tell us the answer and avoid the topic altogether. Join Ryan and guest TJ Finecey (host of @GothamOutsiders) to discuss Kirby the Great, a once-in-a-lifetime character.
