About this listen

This week we’re diving into Scream (1996), the genre-defining slasher that mixed gore with postmodern humor and created a new rulebook for horror. From Casey Becker’s devastating opening to Sidney Prescott navigating survival, we explore how Scream turns teen girl vulnerability into power and why its commentary on sexuality, violence, technology, and media obsession still feels sharp today.
