This week, Ryan and a panel of Patreons celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Urban Legend" as part of the coverage of iconic 1998 films.

Recently, Scream-Trillogy.com made the October 1999 "assembly cut" of Scream 3 available to fans, with more than 30 minutes of extra, unseen footage of the the third film in the franchise. Included in this version is "ground zero" of all the scenes filmed by Wes Craven before the editing process began and the final film was shaped.

No other Scream film has suffered in the editing room in the way Scream 4 did. More than a dozen scenes were left on the cutting room floor and several sequences were reshot. There is more than 20 minutes of film left out of the final cut, nearly 20% of the film's runtime. The result is Scream 4 was the shortest film in the series despite having the largest cast. In this episode, Ryan and a panel of guests investigate the deleted scenes and assert which scenes should have been included in the final cut of the film.

Gale Weathers and Courteney Cox made horror movie history with Scream VI. She is now the most featured horror heroine to appear consecutively in all the films in the series. She is now the only actor to appear in each film in the entry, a trend that broke for Neve Campbell and Sidney Prescott. In addition, Courteney Cox won a MTV Movie Award for her phone call and chase scene in Scream VI. And yet, this is perhaps the most controversial writing for the character in the series. Many fans have taken issue with how incomplete Gale's arc is, how regressively she is written after an epic evolution in the first five films. Join Ryan with Joey Vallese and Briana Beeman to dissect Gale in Scream VI.

One of the trademarks of the SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers podcast is Ryan's particular affinity for "Scream 3."

Scream was known as the self-referential film that cineaphiles loved because their knowledge and interest of film was validated. The best avatar representing the meta aspect of the original film is Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy). In Scream 3, we were introduced briefly to his sister Martha (Heather Matarazzo). In the Radio Silence era, the bloodline continued with his niece, the horror movie expert Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and nephew, the jock with a heart of gold Chad (Mason Gooding Jr.) taking on central roles.

Happy release week of "Scream VI," Screamers! One of the most valuable aspects of "Scream" as an elite horror franchise is the complex, ever-evolving relationship between its two insurmountable heroines over the first five films, Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. They started out as enemies; punches were thrown before they began to hug one another to say hello. But massacre after massacre allowed them to understand each other in a way unlike anyone else, even the common link between these two women, co-survivor Dewey Riley. This week, Ryan unpacks the relationship with a panel of enthusiastic Patreons who bow down to the legendary characters and relationship created by Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox over 25 years. In addition, Ryan briefly covers Oscar predictions for the ceremony this coming weekend.

Welcome to the battle of the non-trio survivors in the original "Scream" trilogy. Randy Meeks and Cotton Weary are two of the most important characters in the original run of the "Scream" franchise. Cotton is indelibly intertwined with the story arc of the first three films and Maureen Prescott. Randy is the fan favorite, the person the horror fan watching Scream was supposed to see themselves in. They each survived a set of Ghostface killings and then bit the dust in the following round of murders. Join Ryan and a group of Patreons in the smackdown between these two characters on the following: Overall Preference; Better Written Character/Character Arc; Better Death Scene; and Better Acting Performance (Liev Schrieber or Jamie Kennedy).

Happy Valentine's Day! The "Scream" film series may be a meta-slasher-who-done-it about Sidney Prescott and how her mother's past comes back to haunt her. But alongside the genre-blending cleverness and final girl narrative, there is a parallel storyline across the franchise that is a love story between journalist and author, Gale Weathers, and the deputy-turned-Sheriff, Dewey Riley. And it is a love story that could challenge the likes of "Titanic" in its epic scope, emotional strength, and complexity. For a Valentine's Day special, join Ryan and a slew of Patreons for an episode detailing the love story of Gale and Dewey, the parallel real-life relationship and marriage of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and thoughtful questions about the hypotheticals of these characters.

Long before Jamie Lee Curtis graced "Halloween" in 2018, reviving her role as Laurie Strode and being blended into a new narrative with a younger cast, "Scream" did the exact same thing eight years earlier. Sidney, Gale, and Dewey return to lead a new cast ensemble as the "legacy" original cast members. Functionally, this allows "Scream 4" to push forward a brilliant commentary on the remake culture of the 2000-2010s. However, "Scream 4" also continues their storylines after what we saw in their happy endings at the end of the third film. Join Ryan and podcast contributor Amar Karim to discuss how they use the trio in "Scream 4." In addition, Alley joins Ryan in the introduction to send well wishes and thanks to Albert Padilla, who has produced and edited all 92 episodes of this podcast to date, as he pursues other adventures. Also, Patreon Gregory Brock helps Ryan finish off the show with the traditional Scream Story and Speed Round questions.

Ten years had passed since we last saw Sidney Precott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley united at the end of "Scream 4." For better or worse, they have changed a great deal. Additionally, in the fifth film, they function differently than ever before, taking a break from driving the story and rather supporting a new plot in the franchise. In "Scream," they take on the roles of the legacy characters in a requel or legasequel. This week, Ryan and Amar venture into the drastic changes in the lives of the beloved "Scream" trio and evaluate the success of the character arcs and the performances by Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox. For the introduction, Ryan is joined by Doug Evasick. Ryan and Doug give twenty horror films released in 2022 a thumbs up or thumbs down.

In the final episode of SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers in the year of 2022, Ryan has a jammed packed show. First, Ryan covers additional thoughts about the "Scream VI" Teaser Trailer with Joey Vallese. Ryan and Joey additionally muse about Courteney Cox's work as Gale Weathers and her role as a Scream Queen in the horror genre. In the second half of the episode, which is available exclusively for Patreon subscribers, Ryan is joined by Ryan Young and Amar Karim for a Ryan2 conversation about Sarah Michelle Gellar. Most people know her as the 1990s Scream Queen (Cici Cooper, Helen Shivers) or as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But there is so much more accomplished acting work to her career, many of which Scream fans may not know about. Ryan, Ryan, and Amar evaluate every project in Sarah Michelle Gellar's filmography. Ryan encourages horror fans who are excited for return to TV in "Wolf Pack" this January to utilize free time exploring her lesser-known films, such as "Veronika Decides to Die" (drama), "The Air I Breathe" (drama), "The Return" (genre/thriller), "Possession" (genre/thriller), "Suburban Girl (romantic comedy), and "Southland Tales" (genre/science fiction).

The teaser trailer for "Scream VI" (official title) was released Wednesday, December 14, after months of anticipation and speculation. Unlike the trailer for "Scream" (2022), this was brief, vague, and only contained a handful of cast members in one sequence. The new Woodsboro survivors (Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding Jr., and Jasmin Savoy Brown) are stalked on a New York City subway on Halloween night. The trailer does not feature Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers or Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed.
