Summary
In this month's audio commentary, Ryan watches and analyzes "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." This heralded 1994 project is widely viewed as Craven's prologue to his signature exploration of meta, the film industry, and art vs. reality in the "Scream" trilogy in the latter part of the decade. Join Ryan for a discussion about one of Wes Craven's smartest, most high-brow, and incredibly personal films of his career, either while watching the film along or listening like any other episode. To open the podcast, Jen joins Ryan to introduce the topic and reflect on the entire "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise and the connections between "New Nightmare" and the Hollywood-set "Scream 3."
