    Scream: The Franchise by Film Foundations #WesCraven #NeveCampbell #SkeetUlrich #MatthewLillard

    Chris and Ryan spend one of their earliest episodes discussing their love of the Wes Craven helmed franchise: Scream. An in-depth discussion on all of the films released to date. Honestly- maybe TOO in depth.

    On that note- we understand that we are trying to make these for people that may have never seen the films and should therefore stay away from spoilers. We got a little carried away with this episode. If you think spoilers ruin the movie for you, maybe watch AT LEAST the first one before listening to this discussion. Either way- enjoy!
