Scream 4 (2011)

For the season 2 finale of Aughtsterion, Sam and Jordan are getting you emotionally ready for the arrival of fifth Scream with its lately reappraised precursor, Scream 4. Your co-hosts are covering the finely aged qualities of Wes Craven's final film — including the triple cold open and Jill's proclamation that she doesn't need FRIENDS she needs FANS — as well as some of those crucial wiffs, like when the movie tried to tell us in 2011 that gay rights had been achieved in horror. But that also leads to the this episode's biggest theme: What was the state of queer horror at the start of the 2010s, what was Scream 4's place in it, and what is the legacy of this title that took 10 years to get its just reconsideration? Sam and Jordan are here to address all these questions, and also to say: CLEAR!
