Michael Schwartz returns to the show to discuss film criticism and how the “Scream” films fared against critics ‘reviews at the time of release. Ryan and Michael reflect on a previous understanding of film criticism, and how the concept has transformed in the era of social media and Rotten Tomatoes. Who counts as a critic? How has the bar for film reviews changed in the last 20 years? How does ideology play into modern day film criticism? Ryan hopes to recontextualize the reviews of the “Scream” films for fans based on these questions and his perspective. In addition, Ryan and Michael conclude the episode with their predictions and preferences for the 94th Academy Awards.
