    Ep. 86 - "Scream" Series

    No "Scream" movie is safe...from being ranked against the others!!! From opening scenes to killer reveals, we talk about it all (or at least as much as we can until Katie has to get to her other plans). Spoiler alert: The first one wins in all categories. There's a formula to it! A very simple formula!!
