Join us for a 25th-anniversary deep-dive into Scary Movie, the genre-blending parody that kicked off a beloved franchise. We break down how Keenen Ivory Wayans and his collaborators, including Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, along with a stellar ensemble cast that includes Jon Abrahams, Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, Anna Faris, Kurt Fuller, Regina Hall, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, and Dave Sheridan, stitched together a wink-and-a-nod homage to horror films while carving out its own outrageous voice. From its send-ups of Scream to its thunderous ensemble humor, we explore production notes, casting dynamics, cultural impact, and the legacy this comedy left on the horror genre as it was evolving into something exciting and new. Joining in for this discussion is none other than Mark J. Parker of the Release Date Rewind Podcast, who is more than ready to dive into this horror parody that continues to resonate 25 years later.
