F*ck This Franchise (Scream 6 with Keith from Movies & a Meal!)
We head to Manhattan this week to spend time with some of our old friends from Woodsboro. How does this stack up with the other five? We'll discuss. (Also on the table: where else should Ghostface travel? What are the best cold opens? Have we ever correctly identified any of the killers?)
NOTE: Episode title is taken from Scream 6 dialogue. We actually love the franchise; don't yell at us.

Customer Reviews
Amazing podcast!
I love Kelly and Josh! They (along with Allison Dickson) are my sanity in this mad, mad world. I haven’t even seen all of the movies they talk about but every episode is so fun. Highly recommend.
WHY AREN'T THEY MORE FAMOUS
I love love love Kelly and Josh. They know their movies and they're some of the most generous and welcoming podcasters out there. There is no limit to the amount of awesomeness you'll discover on this show. So press play, scream, then press play again. And keep pressing it forever.
Kelly and Josh are great!
I don’t even watch horror movies and I’m thoroughly enjoying this podcast. The hosts have great banter and I enjoy hearing their thoughts on the making of these movies. Can’t wait for more!
