    I guess this is a good podcast for people who like talentless jerks.

  • A podcast about Ryan C Showers, not Scream

    This podcast is about Ryan’s opinions, not the Scream franchise. The long Taylor Swift segments, which couldn’t be more unrelated to Scream, prove this. I was looking for fun and informative Scream content ahead of 7’s release and found this. I was shocked by the vitriol showed toward Scream 6 filmmakers and people who like it, and the long winded opinions given rather than fun and informative content related to Scream. I wanted a fun listen and instead heard unproductive and divisive rhetoric. ... more

    Whiny. Annoying. Hypocritical. Pretentious. Smug. Dishes it but can’t take it. Claims to be subjective and unbiased but is extremely biased and isn’t subtle about it at all. Someone says something he doesn’t like or agree with “wow that’s great 😐…anyways ” Calls people basic if they like Billy or Stu, or scream 6, but it’s like…ur favorite movies are scream and ur favorite singer is Taylor swift??? Just another white pick me gay who thinks he’s special and unique when he’s anything but. Hates “... more

  • Unwarranted Hate

    As someone who has been an on and off listener for years, I felt the need to write a review after checking back in with the podcast and seeing all the negative one star reviews. People need to realize that their feelings aren’t fact and just cause you don’t like someone or their opinions on a podcast. Doesn’t mean you can give fake reviews.
