Dewey and Gale were broken up in part because the two actors had had a divorce a few years back. Actually Dewey and Gale's relationship throughout the saga was heavily influenced by Arquette's and Cox's relationship statues at the time of production of each movie 😅

Pretty sure because because they have kids, they still good friends but sadly longer together

[@Shoofyou10]

They seem to be on good terms and I don’t think they would have had any problem with their characters still being married in the movie. I think the writers just wanted Dewey to be the old Sheriff in a western archetype and needed him single for that. I really think it’s beautifully done. when Gale and Dewey have their moment together in the movie you can see that Gale still loves him. And I think the explanation that Dewey was just meant to be in woodsboro while Gale was always ambitious makes perfect sense for their characters. They still love each other but are just too different and sometimes love isn’t enough. It’s sad and bittersweet but makes sense

Regarding Dewey in this movie, his character arc came full circle. In the original he failed to save his sister, Tatum but in 5 he died but succeeded in saving Sam’s sister

[@GGAlchemist]

I'm so glad that someone else wrote this first to save time. As much as I knew that Caitlin would hate it, his character arc was completed in this movie and keeping him wouldn't have made much sense. He went from inexperienced deputy to town sheriff to hard-boiled detective and finally local legend hero with his death. I don't think a better hero's journey could have happened for him. The only thing that I could see is that this arc could have been stretched to the next film. Once you've watched it and posted it, I'll give more details so that it doesn't spoil the movie. He could have been the hard-boiled detective here and local legend in the next film. But I digress. Excellent work as always and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next video!

there are a lot of great easter eggs in the film. During the toast at the house party at the end of the film, 1) the toast was "To Wes" in memory to Wes Craven; 2) multiple former cast members lent their voices in the collective toast including Rose McGowan and Matthew Lillard. While Richie is researching the Stab films, there is a youtube video with a title indicating that Kirby from Scream 4 survived her attack, which was a theory fans have had since the release of that film. Amber's death here is an homage to her (spoiler alert) character's demise in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which came out about 3 years prior.

Also love your nail color! Edit: I forgot to mention that Sidney got married to and had kids with Mark Kincaid, Patrick Dempsey's cop character from Scream 3.

[@eMicle_]

Could not agree more with your statement at the end! As a long advocated Scream lover, I definitely appreciated all of the references from the older films in this movie (Knife shot, character references, Stab meta scenes, etc.). It felt very nostalgic and you can't help but love that as a longing Scream fanatic, but the film as a whole, is imo the weakest in the series. I consider this movie a tribute to the legendary Wes Craven, which makes me appreciate it in that aspect, even though they shouldn't have killed Dewey, but anyways 🫠 RIP Wes Craven ❤

[@MiyaoMeow588]

Honestly I think Scream 2 is the weakest. It just doesn't really have that much going for it. The GF reveals were underwhelming (and almost impossible to guess because the two are such non-characters prior to the reveal). The supporting cast was also real weak, and unlike 5 the next movie doesn't really benefit any of them (cuz they're all dead)

Wow. You were genuinely pissed and upset about Dewey. You had some great points though. Even without the death of Dewey, I didn't care about the new cast the way I cared about the cast of the original. Maybe it was because of the presence of the legacy characters.

Seeing Stu's house 25 years later was definitely incredible.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

i dunno. i get the point you didn't care as deeply about the others as the legacies were still there but it feels like what needed to happen to make it so they could continue the franchise with these new characters. it was how they passed the torch to the new generation. i think the franchise would have died at 5 if they tried to do it without the legacies. of course with the current sh*tshow going on with 7 it was only a short reprieve it seems

Hi!! I really loved the video and i love ALL your reactions, i just wanted to comment on what you said in the other outro ! I agree with you. As someone who is a huge huge scream fan and has been watching the movies as they come, scream (5) is actually more appreciated when you don't binge it, at least for your first time watching it. In the first three movies, the time difference between their releases reached three years at best (one year between scream 1 and 2, and three years between scream 2 and 3), so the movies were really close together, the memory was fresh. Scream 4 took eleven years to be released after the third one. It was already a long long time and fans were starving, thinking the saga would not continue. So when it came, the appreciation was huge. The new intro with several stab openings was crazy, Sydney appearing was an actual surprise, the callbacks were fun. Scream 4 ended with a feeling of culmination. And it really felt, to me, that it was over. Sadly, of course. I had no hopes that we would get another scream movie, specially after Wes Craven died. After that, another eleven years passed until scream 5 was released. So the appreciation was even bigger. First movie since Wes, eleven years since the fourth movie, big expectations since the fourth movie is just so so good. So the callbacks, the end section of the movie, was really really fun for us long term fans who waited for it, yk? It was fun to go "Awww they're redoing the randy scene!" "the tatum scene!" and stuff, because it really had been a long time. This doesn't mean to discredit your perception of the movie btw, the movie is not the best one in the franchise by far, I just mean to say that you're definitely right about these movies when you say they shouldn't be binged as a first watch. Your reaction over dewey is also something that got "hurt" because of the way these first watches happened! Before scream 5, we spent a long long time without Dewey. I guess we had some time to acclimate before watching him die. Which sucked ass btw like the original three are my favorite characters. But still! You were freshly immersed in the love for these characters so of course it hit you harder in some ways. Anyway, basically yes i think you're right, the appreciation is definitely higher but not just because of the long term fans but also bc of the time of wait in between the movies! Anyway, thank you for the reaction! I hope you are a rewatcher type of girl so you can relive Dewey in the first four movies, and maybe get some love for the fifth!?! :> Hope you have fun watching the Sixth one too!!!

This is my least favorite Scream movie, to be honest. Not just because it's kinda of a boring rehash of the first Scream movie, but also because Dewey's death is completely unacceptable. The DISRESPECT to his character is insane. Not just to his character, but also to David Arquette, who gave so much of himself to this frenchise just to be cutoff of it (literally) like it meant nothing. Dewey's ending leaves so much unresolved (the relationship with Gale, for one) and it doesn't close his character arc in a way that makes sense. With everything his been through, you cannot tell me that Dewey would die to a teenage girl wearing a mask because his phone rang and he got distracted. It's just stupid and it ruins a movie that wasn't even headed in a good direction to begin with.

Dewey's death broke my heart too, but I also sorta get why it happened since I feel like the general audience had the biggest attachment to Dewey. still though, great video Caitlin and I'm so hyped for you to watch 6!

Scream 5 paid tribute to Wes Craven in the best way possible.

[@timracadio2557]

It shit all over the original films, actually. Wes would never OK these next two films. Thank god they won’t be continuing this storyline.

[@Lauckitdown]

@@timracadio2557 Agreed. 5 was completely disrespectful to the concept of Scream and Dewey's death was done in the worst way possible. I expected him to die, as I'm sure a lot of people did, but it was the execution of the death that made it so bad. It was absolute trash, and what I've seen of 6 was even worse writing.

I knew this would be the hardest movie for you. It is one of my favorites, though, the first one that came out when I was actively a fan of Scream.

[@kristinajohnson7488]

Radiosilence made this movie as a love letter to Wes craven to honor him in his passing. And thats why it's more of a repeat, and it's a requel as they talk about in the movie. It's not quite a reboot, not quite a direct sequel, a requel. They wanted to respect him and the franchise with their first film made in the franchise. Scream 6 is definitely more their style for sure and more brutal

[@amel.z0]

Actually Courteney cox and David arquette were married in real life and they got divorced sometime before this movie so that’s why their characters were no longer together

[@sethcarico4688]

I am so sorry for your loss I’m also so sorry for laughing ❤️❤️❤️

[@mparantha]

Dewey's death, while extremely sad and anger inducing, did make sense for his character. Ever since the first film, he felt guilty that he could not protect his sister, Tatum, from the hands of a ghost face killer. So, this was his way of saving someone else's sister from a ghost face killer(s)' rampage. It also made sense from a franchise perspective. It is nearly unfathomable for a horror franchise to keep the same surviving characters from film to film. It almost became a joke regarding how much damage Dewey would take in each film but in the final scene, a paramedic would say that he's going to live. Assuming that Gail and Syd would continue to return in future films, Dewey was basically the glue that kept those characters together as Gail and Syd have never really been friends. Their mutual grief would bring them together for the future films.

[@shesscared]

the whole "saving someone's sister" narrative would have been great, he should have died saving Tara. but he didn't. he saved her and then died going back after. that's what bothers me.

[@CaseyJayy92]

@@shesscaredthis is many people’s take on it, he never would have gone back that wasn’t Dewey, he absolutely would go out saving someone but he wouldn’t save someone and head back in. If he were to die it should have been saving Gale or Sid at the party

[@livebackwards]

@@shesscared But that was his fatal character flaw. He couldn't bring himself to walk away from Woodsboro - which is why he left Gale - and he couldn't bring himself to walk away from the killers. But yeah, poor Dewey. That one hit hard. As for the other characters, I really like the Melissa Barrera / Jenna Ortega combo, it works really well in the next film too, and the studio was crazy to fire Melissa and fumble Jenna like they did. Unforced L.

[@mparantha]

@@shesscared i get that. though to be fair, in horror movies, if you've got the killer disabled and you have a gun, generally we yell at the characters for not finishing the job. of course, this is usually in the final fight, whereas this scene occurred near the middle of the film which immediately let the audience know that Dewey would fail.

[@lloydneal3137]

Your commentary throughout this reaction to the movie was me asfff 😂😂 one of my favorite scream movies out of the franchise but the death of dewey broke my heart; I wasn't ready! 🥺🤦🏽

[@joshdaniels]

The reason they got Dewey and Gayle divorced was because they were married in real life and divorced in real life too, so they probably just wanted to parallel that and so these two former partners didn't have to play married on screen too

[@Aweal7]

I think you may be onto something about long term fans vs. binge watching for the first time. It's interesting to hear your take and I do see your points. I also rank 5 down there (3 is just a bit of a messy though a funny film). However, I do like the 5th movie overall quite a bit. Dewey really did need to die in this one, me and my friends were devastated but we predicted it would be coming. It had been so long between 3 and 4 and then 4 and 5 that it was so overdue that one of the golden trio had to go for this movie to carry weight and Cid is victim royalty and cannot be killed under any circumstances least the internet fans of scream riot. Dewey was the only one which could go out with some dignity and overall I feel he did. He wasn't disrepected in this film at all and the focus really did need to be slowly shifted to the new characters (which did need some work in this one but I think are very much established fully in 6). Look forward to your future reaction.

[@seanfortes7156]

Regarding your thoughts on the movie as a whole. I think you articulated yourself really well. I think how and when you watch some media, depending on the media, can have a lot of influence in shaping perspectives and opinions. So fun fact, my own history with the Scream franchise, is that I watched the first three movies when they first released. Then sometime in the last year or so, a few KZbin channels, such as yours, have been posting reactions to the Scream series. I enjoyed seeing people getting into the series, sharing their thoughts in comments etc, so I was actually inspired to catch up and watch 4, 5 and 6. (So thanks for getting me back into the series). I actually really enjoyed 4, 5 and 6, but there was like a decade or more in-between when i watched the first three Scream movies and the latter sequels. I also generally go with the popular opinion, of the third being the "weakest" for various reasons, so that plus the massive gap in time, probably made me more receptive to the latter movies. I personally also much prefer longer ongoing television shows, over movies, because I tend to like characters and how characters interact with each other, much more. Interpersonal dynamics and all that. Same with a few other mediums, like long running books, comics, so on. That being said... whilst I was really really sad about Dewey. (I have Dewey's theme on my Ipod. Another fun fact, its a composition from Hanz Zimmer than was originally used in the movie Broken Arrow, but... I think it actually suits Dewey a lot more and i associate it with him a lot more). However in a weird way, and hear me out... its a slasher franchise. One that was trying to find new life with new protags, in a weird way, dying seems like a right of passage? So in that sense, Dewey had a really powerful character arc, because I think he was haunted by never being able to save his own sister... but he died saving someone else's sister. That, idea helps, as far as the pain of the loss. Its still a brutal gut punch. Like we are supposed to hate it, I sort of feel like one of the three original had to die at some point, and the Dewey and Gail story was... Like a rollercoaster, they break up, get back together, break up... It needed something to sort of force it, and now Deweys's final memories of Gail, were his last and he seemed happy about that. Which is kind of sweet. Sad but sweet (sort of like how he would eat his breakfast each morning watching her on TV), like thats really really sad... some people might even say a bit pathetic and that he should move on, but I think its in character, he is a hopeless romantic and still obviously in love with her, just he can't resolve that with living somewhere else. Gail just has more trauma to go on top of all the other trauma, ditto with Sydney. Which kinda sucks, but so much trauma has also chiselled them into badasses so like... Maybe its because more time has passed for me, but in hindsight, it felt like a "good death" and fitting for the character and their arc. Mind you, it also didn't take me out of the movie either, and if it did for anyone, I can understand how that would negatively impact the rest of the movie for them. I was sad, but not distracted. I also liked many of the new characters as much as the older characters too. Certain characters, more likeable. Many first time watchers don't really like Gail in the first movie either. This time, i really liked Sam, Tara and Mindy. I also think my feelings might be different if I binged all of them within the same week. Oh, I do have one small issue though. How TF Amber, in being so small, and light, was able to over power Dewey. Sure element of surprise, but her and Ritchie were so different size wise, and she was the Ghostface in that scene. I swear the Ghostface mask gives minor super powers or something. I do think his death scene could have been written better.

[@TheSiren666]

the way that all of these are true - im only half paying attention to all of these Scream reactions without having watched them myself - my eyes are off of the video through the whole video playing monopoly go - lowkey surprised the burnt girl (amber?) came back a minute later not on fire anymore (and not dead) - the ending with Gale walking about writing about Dewey had me tearing up anyway - i laughed out loud when you changed the she's scared to she's sad af gknzd sGFNUDWA

[@StonayBalogna]

Just have to remember it’s a new timeline like the newest Halloween trilogy. Dewey can always come back in a different timeline that starts before this film so long as David Arquette agrees to return. Great video!❤ Watching this was surreal I believe we had the same reactions to every scene. lol But I’m glad you like it I have fallen in love with it. It has questionable decisions and many mistakes but overall they Impressed me with a lot of great ideas. My favorite is how they made a new type of final girl who made her own new rule to horror films. Plus how savage she got with Richie at the end, loved that. Sidney will always be my all time favorite final girl but now Sam is right up there with her, practically tied. It would be a dream if Williamson starts off “7” somewhere in the timeline with Dewey still around but also still writes the core 4 and such into the story for us so we can keep them. Will end it here before it gets any longer I’m off to your next video in this particular series and stoked to see your thoughts and reactions. lol But again though great work 🔥

[@ChuckyBoi88]

Clearly you don’t understand the franchise if you think they should retcon.

[@kalevi7821]

I remember when the first movie came out. Dewey was easily my favourite. Still throughout the franchise, was my favourite. I already heard he died before seeing this. I felt the same, I'd rather know he and Gale were happy outside of the movies going on. The 2 new main characters I liked. Solidarity to them!

[@Raskullbx]

@19:08 'Wait, what's on the TV is that an old horror movie?' Me: it's series called 'Dawson's Creek' that came out in the late 90's (classic). she's watching dawson's creek. As a nod to the writer behind the first Scream, kevin williamson, created dawson's creek. Also, scott foley (scream 3 sidney brother) and joshua jackson (scream 2 in randy's film studies class) appears in the dawson's creek clip in the movie. I love how meta the scream franchise is.

[@LizAya22]

I watched this movie in the most awkward way. My ex best friend of 9 years, her crush who happened to be there with some guy friends drinking at a bar next door and a complicated relationship with a guy I met who dropped everything to go on this “double date”. I swore I would never watch this movie again because of that experience which is as bad as it gets… I never thought I would find myself watching this movie at 2am with you Caitlin. You have changed this movie experience for me forever. I will now enjoy it and remember your unforgettable reaction to you know who. Love your reacts as always!

[@Metetonda]

First of all, I love to watching you been so excited about horror movies - I'm probably the only one I know who can get like that. Scream is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE FRANCHISE and listening to you how you thinking about those movies etc are very close to me :D Anyway, the reason for this comment is that: when you talking about bravery vs stupidity when comes to Dewey - I agree. However!!! I was thinking about this a lot as well. I don't call it bravery neither but I felt like the characters, who went through it 4 times has to do something more then usual then defeat, run and hope for the best. I feel him coming back to "finish the ghostface" comes from the long, painful experience - almost as if he thinks if he won't do it now, more people will die (as in previous events/sequels) and that is the reason of him coming back. That is the reason why he would have massive issue later on if the Ghostface would escape/survive again - that "learning from your previous mistakes" mindset. Well, anyway, can't wait for you watching Scream 6 :)

[@Samusername]

i felt really similarly as you about this movie for the exact same reasons. so i went to watch 6 just to keep up with the series. but weirdly, despite following this one, i absolutely loved it. can safely say it's my favorite scream and melissa barrera specifically impressed me a lot. so i'm hoping you'll like that one more too!

[@njjen3953]

I am new to your channel but trust me. Every Scream fan feels the same way you do about Dewey dying.

[@chiefroo]

[@mira_g_16]

As a Scream fan I’ve been loving your reactions and watching one of my fave KZbinrs turn into a Scream fan, but it did break my heart watching your reactions to Gale and Dewey being broken up, and Dewey dying ofc, seeing someone else watch it for the 1st time makes it hurt more, even though I’ve rewatched this movie like 5 times (still my least fave in the franchise) that scene hurts every time. I hate that they did it just as much as any other Scream fan, however I think it hurt just a little less for me maybe bc I’m a newer Scream fan, I watched the movies completely out of order (this was the 2nd one I watched, I started with 6), I’d had a lot of TikTok spoilers about the characters, and also maybe I’m just used to getting emotionally attached to fictional characters who end up dying idk 🤷‍♀️ I do like the symbolism of him not being able to save his sister in the 1st one and then him saving Sam’s sister in this one though. I love how until the end he was the same Dewey we knew and loved, he didn’t have to die but it is what it is. I’m so sad that this reaction series is almost over, and yea Scream 5 is def a weaker remake compared to the others, but trust me Scream 6 is so much better. I’m a little biased bc it was the 1st one I watched, and granted Sidney isn’t in it (but Gale is though), but the overall quality of the movie is just so much better than 5. A big cast full of good characters, they upped the kill scenes, and it pays homage to Scream 2 in a few ways while still continuing on from the events of Scream 5 and being its own movie, if that makes sense. No spoilers obvs but there’s decent villains and it’s just such a good horror movie, I don’t think you’ll be too disappointed ❤️

[@kevinsoares1241]

[@alexjanewill]

Guys she might sad abt this one

[@bluelightvisions]

Interesting to watch your reaction! I think this film is very divisive when it comes to certain aspects of it among the franchise. I certainly enjoy a lot of elements of it and was really really excited to see it in theatres and to get back into obsessing over this franchise that I had kind of forgotten about for a few years honestly. As for Dewey… I do agree that the scene itself where he died was more shocking and not as impactful as it could have even when it comes to the character and story and can understand why someone wouldn’t like it. I think going into this film I thought they would do something like this or at least wanted them to do something that didn’t feel as ‘safe’ so I was okay with that decision especially with the transition Sidney and Gale reuniting afterwards and having their ending moment of the film. But I think the fact that so many people are affected by that scene and decision is such a testament to how loveable of a character he was and how much the characters mean to people, especially within a slasher franchise. I also agree when it comes to all the call backs For me, it didn’t feel as much that I was watching the original again as much as it felt like Scream 4 again as that film was meant to be the beginning of a new trilogy and commenting on remakes/reboots and therefor had many many references to bring that together which worked very well. Of course, that trilogy never happened and in essentially rebooting the franchise again, it also makes sense why they’d do that again and particularity with the intention of honouring Wes Craven’s (former director of 1-4) legacy after passing away, it all feels very purposeful. So I guess the constant call back to the original after having a film that did just that feels repetitive yet within the circumstances, I can understand the reasoning behind it which I think also makes more sense given that I saw 4 and 5 in theatres 11 years apart versus you seeing them nearly back-to-back like you said! Overall, I really do like this entry. I think it does what it needs to do. I love seeing the legacy characters, the homages, the new ways it circles everything back and the excitement of the franchise starting again in a new way. It’s simple and more classic and I think that works in its favour. But after a few rewatches, I do not find this film to be as rewatchable as other entries so while I think it’s a good Scream film and nearly among the best, it just doesn’t live in my mind too much after the fact. But does what it needs to do. Scream 6 is really fun, I would compare my feelings watching it to how I feel about Scream 4, which I love. I’m excited to see you watch it!

[@gemmaviol3t]

Dewey, gale, and Anika are the worst deaths in my opinion. Anika had a sad death and it was quite gory aswell. Same with Dewey and gale. They had sad deaths sense they were the ogs

[@Schock_TV]

Still not over Deweys Death. I get why they did it, but it still sucks. He was my favourite :(

[@Shoofyou10]

I saw the original in the theater when I was 14 years old and I loved all of the callbacks to the original in this one. The nostalgia for me when seeing this one was so great for me. It had been 11 years since scream 4 came out and 25 years since the original one. And I was just so happy to be seeing another Scream movie in the theater (I’d seen them all in theaters when they came out). So I actually agree with you that the nostalgia maybe worked much better for a long time fan like myself than someone who is watching all of them this close together.

[@donut3935]

Honestly, this was Gale's movie. Losing Dewey, becoming so pissed off which leads her and Sydney into going rogue again, and then she kills Amber (idc that she came back for the last scare, YOU DON'T COME BACK FROM THOSE KINDS OF BURNS). Still giving credit to Gale. Love her so much

[@dancerkris95]

Fun Facts: 1. The Original Scream cast did voice overs Drew Barrymore (Casey Becker) was the principal on the intercom in the beginning. Also, yes Matthew Lillard (Stu) was the one in the KZbin channel doing the medal ghostface voice and at the party he's the one that said " Cool house" to Amber when she was walking through. Jamie Kennedy (Randy) was the one who made the comment about the "some goofy ass dad is here kicking everyone out." Hayden (Kirby), principal Himbry, and others from the franchise were part of the "For Wes" shout out. 2. Also, on that KZbin channel, the first clip on the side of the screen it was an Easter egg that confirmed Kirby survived from Scream 4. It was her doing an interview about being a survivor. Then below hers, there's another clip asking if Stu Macher is still alive or not, lol. Kirby and Stu had been a HUGE debate with the fans whether or not they both survived. So they confirmed it with Kirby, but with Stu, they gave us a teaser. 3. When Chad picked up the candle stick as a weapon, it was a reference to when Sidney grabbed a candle stick in Scream 3 to defend herself with against Roman in the final act. 4. Sidneys husband Mark is Detective Mark Kincaid from Scream 3. 5. Wes Hicks Kill Scene, where he closed the front door. No one told Dylan that ghostface would be behind him in that scene, so his reaction to it was legit, lol. 6. Even though Mindy said to Wes about his mom being safe but yet they got killed anyway. Two reasons: 1st is they killed the Sherrif and her son as a decoy/distraction to lure the cops away from the hospital their main target was Tara. 2nd reason they killed off Wes, who is a reference for "Wes Craven," it was their way of having a memorial for Wes Craven in the movie. He died a few years after he made the 4th, so this one was like a love letter to him 8. At the hospital, when GF appeared behind Richie, he got his arm sliced similar to when Jill got hers sliced by GF in Scream 4.

[@itsdaveoleary]

Also, the show Tara was watching in the hospital was an episode of dawsons creek - that episode in real life was written by scream writer Kevin Williamson, and starred Joshua Jackson (from scream 2) and Scott foley (the killer from scream 3) so just a silly easter egg nod to the fans
