The third year of the pod kicks off with our annual tradition: a Scream film! Scream 3 (2000) is arguably the least popular film in the franchise, but it's due for a critical reappraisal as we unpack all of the its challenges, including no script, an in-demand Neve Campbell, post-Columbine timing, a move to comedic Hollywood and studio interference (The Weinsteins again!)Thankfully we have Parker Posey, Patrick Dempsey's luscious hair, an ambitious - if misguided - attempt to retcon the root of all of Sid's trauma and a post #MeToo reckoning that makes the film quite prescient. For a good time, throw in a game of toot it or boot it, Trace's confusion over the expression "Red Shirts", and a Meryl Streep blaxploitation film. Plus: how many times will we say the words Scooby Doo? Welcome to our third year!Questions? Comments? Snark?
