Scream 3 (2000)

Aughtsterion

If you wondered when Sam and Jordan would start covering the Scream franchise, you must have always suspected — as a devout Aughtsterion listener — that the conversation would begin with the least loved entry in the series. Because what are Sam and Jordan about if not a passionate reclamation project? So here it is, horror fans: The Scream 3 episode, and your co-hosts are not shying away from the big topics. As always, they map out the pop culture context surrounding the film, and of course, they give Parker Posey her flowers for being the franchise's supporting player MVP. But they also make the case that this sequel cannot be evaluated properly unless it's put in conversation with the legacy of convicted sexual predator and disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. And if you say one god damn disparaging word about Gale's bangs, go ahead and smash that unsubscribe button, because we don't want to hear a word about it.
