## Resource

In the season five finale of the podcast, Ryan brings together a reflection of the SCREAM 7 era as well as a discussion about the closure of Sidney, Tatum, and Gale in the film. First, Ryan is joined by Anthony and Jess to look back at the buildup to SCREAM 7 over the last year and 100 episodes in the before-during-after of the SCREAM 7 release. They discuss the legacy SCREAM 7 is leaving behind, and the divisive (and frustrating) nature of the discourse around Jessica, the movie and finale. Then, Ryan is joined by Josh, Justine and producer Ashely to follow up on their episode from last year, "Closure for Sidney and Gale in Each SCREAM Film" (ep. 233) released July 2025. The group analyzes the closure at which Sidney, Gale, and Tatum arrive in the epilogue of SCREAM 7. This framework ties into Taylor Swift's song "closure" from evermore.
