SCREAM Filmmakers on the Latest Installment of the Horror Franchise

In this week’s episode of The Boxoffice Podcast, Daniel Loria and Rebecca Pahle go over the latest updates at the box office, schedule changes, and M&A updates. The co-hosts also explore the declining cultural relevance of the Golden Globes—and its potential impact to film culture.

In the feature segment, Daniel talks to Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella, who form the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, responsible for bringing the latest installment of the SCREAM franchise to the big screen. The Radio Silence team provides spoiler-free commentary on their approach to the film, the legacy of Wes Craven, and their personal ties to Scream and the horror genre.
