Chase scenes are an essential ingredient to most successful slasher films, an aspect Wes Craven deployed with acute skill in the original “Scream” trilogy. Since then, the chase scenes in the subsequent sequels have been hit or miss. In this episode, Ryan is joined by Jake from the Killjoy Jake Youtube channel and Sarah Campbell to evaluate how each Scream film handles chase scenes. In addition, Ryan, Jake, and Sarah discuss whether Scream 7 should retcon the last two sequels and be a direct sequel to Scream 4.
