Episode 48: Scary Movie (2026)

Scary Movie is a horror spoof directed by Michael Tiddes and written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez. As a parody of legacy sequels and the Scream series in particular, it follows Sara Campbell (Olivia Rose Keegan), daughter of the original movie's Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), who returns to her hometown with her conspicuously suspicious boyfriend Jack (Cameron Scott Roberts) after her legally distinctive younger sister Tuesday (Savannah Lee Nassif) is stabbed by the also legally distinctive Ghostface killer. The ensuing murders reunite Cindy with her high school friends Shorty (Marlon Wayans), Brenda (Regina Hall), Ray (Shawn Wayans), along with problematically special officer Doofy Gilmore (Dave Sheridan). The film also features Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, and Cheri Oteri.
