Our SCREAM mini-series continues, as we take a look at 1997’s sequel, Scream 2!

After the massive success of the first film, a sequel was a foregone conclusion but no one knew just how quickly it would manifest. Released less than a year after the original film, Scream 2 is a sequel that has no business working as well as it does.

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about all of the things that can go wrong (and right!) in twelve short months, is voice actor and fellow podcaster Chris O’Connor (Geek By Night, True Believers).
