I will still be reviewing movies, but I’m reserving those for the TikTok page.   This week I report on AMC’s massive lay-offs, the announcement of They Listen starring Jon Cho, and the Soska Sisters turning American Mary into a series.    For more Scream Stream  Patreon: https://patreon.com/screamstream Website: http://screampod.com TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@screamstream Instagram: https://instagram.com/screamstream
