When he said Stu is his close second favorite character of the franchise I saw your face light up and the wheels start turning Mike 😂 Love your fucking face man 💪🏼 #STU LIVES

[@shannonbayley3684]

WTF. That's an insult to actual great scripts, like The Thing, Lawrence Of Arabia, literally THOUSANDS of movies with much better scripts, that make this look like a steaming pile of hot crap.

[@mikeharlow]

It sounds like Neve wouldn’t have had much of a part. I wonder if that played a factor in her turning it down. I’d rather her not be in it than have her be sidelined. She deserves to be at the forefront. Hope they bring her back for 7 in a main role

[@PopCultureWithPat]

Incredible interview Mike! Honestly just felt like a conversation between two people. Loved listening to this, thanks for doing it!

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Appreciate that Pat!!

[@systemmonitor5295]

This, Andi Matichak, Robert Zappia, Daniel Farrands, Alan B. McElroy and Paul Brad Logan... building up a nice resume! I hope more creators in the horror space take note and let you interview them. You have a great friendly attitude that seems to make people comfortable straight away, and it makes for a fun listen!

[@nickmathis6136]

Not that I’m surprised or anything but FUCK you are good at interviewing. Obviously how passionate you are about the franchise helps but damn, I hope you get to do more in the future because this blows all the other press interviews for this movie out of the water. Guy seems like a genuinely sweet guy as well who’s doing it for the right reasons.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Wow super kind words Nick thank you so much dude!

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

Fun interview. So much charisma. I was almost hoping you'd ask him to go kill by kill and ask who committed them all in 5 and 6. That and if he could un-bungle the timeline because 5 was definitely supposed to be in 2021 for the 25th anniversary, yet it's listed as 2022 on the Ghostface board, and then Scream 2 is listed as 1997 despite that not making sense either. Man, so many little things I would have asked, but it's cool that this happened nonetheless.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

I could have asked a billion more questions lol was kicking myself for not fitting some more in before we had to be done. Thank you!

[@woopimright]

Well scream 2 is supposed to be in 97. Sidney is senior age in 96 and then scream 2 and hallie are living in dorms wanting to pledge for a sorority, which are freshmen things.

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

@@woopimright Right, but the theater patron, Gale, and Cotton all say it's been a couple years since Woodsboro, not just one.

[@woopimright]

@@DarthPyrusTheVirus I think someone else did a breakdown (zack cherry?) and assumed the character was thinking about the Maureen kill that started it all Also realistically if I’m a sorority girl that heard about a massacre and don’t know much info on it, you’d prob catch me say oh it happened years ago when it probably happened months ago … sorority girls aren’t that smart Does Gale and cotton also make those statements? Don’t remember hearing them say that

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

@stabhead army The girl at the theater mentioned all those kids being killed, so it sounds like she was referring to Billy and Stu. Yes, Gale said two years (or a few?) when she ambushed Sidney with Cotton. Then later in the library, Cotton said it'd been over a year since being exonerated. Additionally, the script said it had been two years, but that may not be reflective since it was the leaked one.

[@jasondyer722]

My god, it must have been sooooo hard for Mike not to ask about Stu being under the mask during the legacy character scenes, especially after it was said that they think a lot about who's Ghostface in each scene.

Hey good for you man. This is awesome. I love how your laying the jokes on him.

[@SuperWishaniggawoods]

BIG MIKEEE Congratulations on getting this interview bud! 🎉 You asked all the questions I was wondering when I went to go see the movie, it was definitely giving scream 2 vibes. Do I believe him when he says it’s kind of a coincidence, hmmm no but do I care ? No lol 😂 scream 6 was the shit! Keep feeding him ideas for scream 7 he looked like he got excited from hearing the snow scream. It’d make a lot of sense tbh, since scream came out In December And imagine all the witty smart sick shit ghostface would say since it’s Christmas time. I think they should play the game Until Dawn, literally a perfect horror movie … and the fact that Hayden Pannentire is in that game

Thank you my dude!

[@stadthaus.7266]

Busick, you seem like a nice Guy, don´t read this comment. I overall liked Scream VI, but it´s also my sixth favorite of the series Mostly because the killers felt like.. well all of them weren´t like interesting characters. And that´s part writing and part the actors, especially the kid and the dad´s performances were OK at best. The interview was kind off too nice to my liking, although of course I get why that is. With "nice" I ment too friendly. Not enough harder questions or critizism. Still glad I saw this, no hate, just my opinion.

[@James_Smith862]

Hey Mike great video as always of course I just recently saw Matthew Lillard in an episode of a show recently and he totally still has stu in him for sure so it makes me want him to come back even more now so I really hope it can happen

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Hells yeah he does!

[@JustinProper]

I love how you two coordinated shirts. Great job|!

[@AWP82]

22:14 “Dew it” 😆

[@richmlvcable]

I enjoyed the movie but there are a lot of holes.. Kirby states she is an FBI agent with a special interest in "Ghostface" cases... but she has no idea who Richie's family are? Also when they realise the killer is in Gale's neighbourhood it is daytime.. yet they still hadn't contacted her by the night time when she got her call... ? There's no way Quinn could pick up and throw Gale's boyfriend like that so should we assume it must be someone else... Stu maybe?

[@cjermainesmith5229]

WTF is wrong with you people? Stu died 30 years ago!! This is the most annoying stupidity i've ever heard!!!!! Get a life. Ain't no Stu in these films...#stupidityleaks

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

It wasn't Stu. It was Mickey.

[@stephaniekyle8836]

Fantastic job Mike 👏👏👏👏

[@bbbhauntedbasement]

Awesome can't wait to hear this

[@RobertMere]

I am ok with Sidney having her happy ending and I feel like it was ok that she wasn’t in 6 because it’s not about her anymore but I feel like if you’re bringing back stu then u gotta bring back Sidney because it wouldn’t really make sense if stu is coming back and he is not somehow dragging Sidney into this shit.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

I would agree stu and sid together makes sense

[@steventarry8056]

I think Scream 7 should be like if "I Saw the Devil" and "Scream" movies had a baby. I think it would be so awesome if Scream 7 takes place after Gale produced a true crime series in the vein of "making a murderer". But maybe Gale gets fired after selling the rights and the whole thing is edited to make the Carpenters look suspicious and building on those false internet rumors. Killings begin to happen again but Sam and Tara figure out who Ghostface is before Ghostface realizes he is found out. Sam Carpenter is then free to hunt her prey like a serial killer rather than defend herself at the end of a bloodbath. She shows up to protect a couple victims and attempts to kill GF but he gets away. The tables eventually turn on the Carpenters when the GF finally figures out his identity is no longer a secret. You then have a final act that is more cat and mouse than reveal and survive.

[@TheStacyJamesShow]

THAT BOY OFFICIAL, ANOTHER LEGENDARY INTERVIEW ON THE RÉSUMÉ ‼️🖤‼️

[@TheChampionofthepeople]

The only moment I didn’t like is when Detective Bailey ran towards Sam pointing the gun at her 😔 not even trying to shoot 😅

[@stadthaus.7266]

I just got in hope there will be some hard questions and not just praise like: Why getting 2 characters pretty much massacered on screen but letting them survive

[@xtronvultron4811]

Great Video Mike!! I love this!!

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Thanks so much!

[@stadthaus.7266]

this is great interview with the writer. nice! kinda odd when I think about it, that this is not more common

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Writers are the funnest to talk to imo

[@TheChampionofthepeople]

Tara is the half blooded sister to Sam. Roman was also Sidney’s half blood brother. What if Scream 7 reveals one of the sisters and Stu as the two Killers? I think that would be the most possible, plausible and sensefull outcome.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

[@timmycakes001]

I really like this movie for many reasons, but there are sooo many plot holes. Makes no sense that Kirby wouldn't know who Richie's family are, given that she's in the FBI and investigating Ghostface attacks. Same for Gale, who wrote a book on the events of Scream 5. Also makes no sense for the police force not to know that one of their detectives had a son who was a Ghostface killer. Another, how did Quinn find Sam and Tara's anonymous roommate ad? How did Ethan manipulate the roommate lottery to get Chad? Also, real estate in NYC is insanely expensive. A building like that theater would cost millions, whether renting or buying. No way a policeman's salary could afford that. Again, fun movie and lots of great things about it, but these plot holes are incredibly frustrating and really bring down the film.

[@DomingoRiveraJr]

Hey, Mike! One question I would have loved to know the answer to would be whether they were influenced at all in their Scream 6 script by Kevin Williamson or his Sick movie script when it came to the family revenge killers reveal, or if the similarities between the two films were just a coincidence, since both movies came out within months of each other.
