Episode 188: Scream 7

Episode 188 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren are here to take a look at movies of any year, any genre and any quality, especially those in a long-running franchise.

This week, it's the second cinema trip in a row as your hosts discuss the latest instalment in a series of films which now spans thirty years. Neve Campbell is back once again as iconic final girl Sidney in SCREAM 7 and this time she's got a husband and daughter to protect from the Ghostface menace. Courteney Cox returns as Gale Weathers and with fan favourite Matthew Lillard rumoured to appear and original scribe Kevin Williamson on directing duty, how could any of this go wrong?

As long time fans of the Scream films, Hayley and Darren are more than ready to decide whether or not this is their favourite scary movie of the seven. They discuss the various things which make a Scream movie great and set them against this 2026 incarnation to decide whether or not it matches up to the very best of its predecessors. Suffice to say, there were surprises in store for them...
