It’s nice that Roger Jackson is finally getting more recognition for the amazing Ghost face voice and how much impact it actually has had on the entire Scream franchise. I feel like up to recently it was more of a “movie trivia” fact that he does the voice rather then actually praising how good he is at giving the voice so much life and character.

[@TheReviewerFilms]

i especially love that Roger has been upgraded in the credits and gets put in with the main cast during the picture part of the credits and he's earned it he's been in the most scream content down to even the shitty 3rd season of the tv series

[@brandonburton5928]

Tbh, the Chad Meeks being alive thing made me laugh out loud because he got wheeled in at the end of Scream 5 and then here he comes again getting wheeled in. He's got that pre Scream 5 Dewey magic.

One of the main reasons these new screams are doing so well is that every decision made feels like it naturally belongs in this world. Like Sam being Billy’s kid out of nowhere worked because Sid wasn’t having sex at that time so of course Billy would go out and cheat.

[@Nexol13]

Nah, Billy being revealed as a cheater was one of the many things that took me out of Scream 5. He killed Sidney’s mother for breaking up her family and turning her father into a cheater, so why the hell would he cheat himself? Sidney wasn’t putting out, yes, but Billy in the first film felt far too cold and calculating to let his junk do the thinking for him. Not to mention, Sam’s mom was with Tara’s dad at the time, so Billy was making them both into cheaters, which is something I feel that he wouldn’t do.

[@krhodes866]

@@Nexol13 fun fact he also dressed up and slashed all his friends so… maybe fair to assume he’s not making the most logical decisions?

[@Nexol13]

@@krhodes866 Every character operates by their own internal logic, especially the psychotic ones. Billy’s was well-established in the first Scream film. The fifth film made a creative choice that undermined it so they could justify the main character’s existence. Simple as that. I can accept him cheating in the same way I can accept Voldemort having a child: is it impossible? No. Highly improbable given what we know about him? Yes. In both cases it came off as little more than fan-fiction tropes used to justify the sequel’s existence. I do feel the need to say that, despite all of this, I do like Sam as a character. She’s been given a lot of room to grow (and she definitely has) over the last two films.

Because if they ever attempt to call the police on the ghostface it would be out in the middle of nowhere just like original scream. “They wouldnt get here in time, we’re out in the middle of nowhere”, but then again. Id love to see it only be the corefour and have ghostface win in the end, a murder mystery if you will.

Thank you so much for touching on who killed who. It’s my favorite part of watching scream movies and I was so annoyingly torn on who it was during the Apartment kills and you basically got them to confirm who it was. You’ve ended my 5-day headache

[@jonaskeller6399]

Well, I mean, they really didn't. They said Jack Champion was in the costume during the first tiny part of that scene. But that doesn't mean his character is behind the mask. In the original, Skeet Ulrich was in the costume for a scene in which Stu was ghostface. I'm torn about who it is. But if these killers weren't absolute morons, then they wouldn't have squandered the opportunity to give Ethan - certainly the main suspect after all his friends dropped dead - an airtight alibi for as many murders as possible. So I mostly do believe that Ethan was in class and probably making sure people noticed him there, too. Then again, some of the ghostface behavior seems more in line with Ethan than Bailey - but as they said, they didn't really adjust ghostface behavior to the specific killer, so I'm still going with Bailey. Sorry if I restarted your headache.

[@jeanninebrice9107]

There are a lot of Scream 2 parallels but loved you guys getting into that opening performance, with the actor taking time to infuse so much personality into their character in such a short time, which felt very much like Phil and Maureen, their black film commentary, their teasing with each other, we relate to them and get to know them just enough to endear ourselves to them a little before they are killed

No word of a lie, seeing Scream 6 with two of my buddies reminded me why horror movies in the cinema are MAGICAL. It's the perfect movie for it. We could hear the people around us gasping, we could see them clutching at each other and jumping, and we couldn't help grabbing each other and trying to be quiet while we muttered "No no no no no' at the screen. People cheered when legacy characters reappeared and there was a moment towards the end where the whole theater broke into applause. When one of our buddies was late, we kept anxiously looking at each other and saying "We can't miss the opening kill, man!" and then the movie paid off that moment in SPADES.

I love that "Risk it All" mentality and I hope they're inspired to take even bigger risks for the end of the trilogy. I think the universal consensus for Scream VI is that the movie excels up until the third act where it feels like it retreats to safety a bit too much. I get WHY it felt the need to retreat to safety in production, but I don't think it worked well especially with the excessive fake outs. I really really hope the reception to VI inspires them to just go all out in breaking new ground, and really just be fearless and bold. Especially since you can't botch the end of a trilogy as hard as the OG team did.

Scream VI was such a fun time. It came out on my birthday and I hosted a private screening with so many friends. It was a wonderful experience and great birthday party. Radio Silence has really done a great job with Scream, hopefully they’ll return with Scream VII. Also the new dog is adorable 🥰

[@SjefSjaakie]

I love this movie so much, it's my new number 2 in my Scream franchise ranking. It has the best opening scene since the original AND the best 3rd act since the original in my opinion. The Gale appartment chase scene is also my new favourite chase scene, Gale hitting ghostface in the ghost-face with a frying pan was absolutely glorious. The phone calls we're fantastic and finally seeing two ghostfaces in costume simultaneously was so satisfying and the stabbing and double knife wipe that followed it were probably my favourite moment in the entire movie. This movie also argueably has the most graphic and violent kills in the entire franchise. The meta aspect was also really well done once again and all the actors delivered great performences. This movie rules and i can't wait for Scream 7 to be announced.

Scream 6 was very well written. I’m so happy with the film, thank you Radio Silence 😎

For survivor you can have one team. all scream survivors (characters who survived at least one scream movie) and the other team all of the ghost faces.

I just saw this 2 days ago by myself. There were 6 other people in the theater (1:00 PM showing). It was an awesome movie! I think it's my favorite since the second. Great job all around!

Been waiting for y’all’s video! ❤ I freaking loved scream 6… of course I missed Sid but I love love love how they handled her absence as well! Was literally so much fun! Thanks Radio Silence for not botching our series! 😂🎉 (Congrats James/Chelsea, so proud of y’all!)

you guys HAVE to talk about skinamarink. I’m very interested to hear your guys’ opinions and interpretation, even if it isn’t the typical slasher you might talk about

[@basicallyabush]

As a long time fan of Jenna I’m so happy seeing all the success she’s been getting she’s so humble, down to earth, intelligent, talented, witty, Caring, and not to mention one of the most beautiful women in the world with a beautiful soul, I can’t think of anyone else who deserves it more than her, She is such and amazing person and actress and when you hear her talk about acting you can see how much love and passion she has for it and making films in general, And I can guarantee you 100% Jenna Ortega will be one of the biggest Names and actors in the world and industry In the future and she will win a Academy Award or multiple of them and many many more other prestigious awards, She is already so incredibly talented and I can’t wait to see her career blossom and grow and she what she dose in the future, Maybe producing and Directing Films and TV and I’ll be rooting for her and watching whatever she’s in or a part of in anyway and supporting her. ❤️

[@sighbatsu]

i’m glad they touched on the fantastical part of the stabbing and kills it’s totally true that we come to these movies for the characters and the kills but like it’s not so unrealistic that someone like Chad to survive those wound’s especially if they weren’t especially deep. When James mentioned the slender man case i immediately went yes! that young lady survived being stabbed 12x it’s not that far out of reality. Also, really happy they touched on Melissa being harped on in the last film and defending her work ethic!

[@stevejenks9940]

Yeah the stabbings are always seeming brushed off. Like getting stabbed in the back is probably pretty painful and going to puncture something. Possibly worse if you're asthmatic lol

[@michaelfeeney6108]

I’d love a New Nightmare type Scream movie sometime. Imagine bringing back people like Drew Barrymore. Such a big playground to play around in. Maybe after another Sam/Tara story or two, of course.

[@robertwild9447]

Same here! I think the Scream series as we know it should end at part 7 or 8. But the perfect reboot after that would be to go in a New Nightmare direction. You could even bring Jamie Kennedy back in a major role! There are so many other actors you could bring back, and the meta nature would be perfect for Scream.

@@michaelfeeney6108 I was so terrified that's how scream 5 was gonna open, and thank god they didn't do that.

First off, I really liked both Scream 5 and 6, and enjoyed the majority of choices these guys made. That said, I do think it's a misstep when they said they don't give any subtle directorial differences to Ghostface based on who is underneath the mask (and very quickly brushed off the question seemingly). It would definitely add to the re-watch experience as it does with some of the earlier movies

[@IronBeagle2003]

I like where they ended the movie. It leaves things open for a 7th feature but if this were to be the final Scream movie I’d be 100% fine with it. This was an awesome movie. It’s bloody, it’s funny, it’s emotional and genuinely very scary. The New York setting is great because while the city is huge, it’s very tight. So it can feel claustrophobic which works great for a slasher Edit: Also, I totally spotted the 25th Anniversary FunWorld Ghostface mask and I jumped when I saw it.

[@jchinnjr]

Spoilers-ish: I find it funny that the creators said they wanted to risk it all and then went out of their way to keep core characters from dying. Like, I could name at least two characters who should be DEAD.

[@duvall5jd]

More like 3. Three of the returning characters should have died. These writers are definitely hesitant to kill off characters they love,
