Scream 6 (2023)
July 10, 2023 23:04 - 1 hour - 101 MBOkay, so... technically this is more like an episode of Pretty Little Screamers where we theorise about what's going to happen when the inevitable Scream VII AKA sixth sequel comes along, but we promise there is some discussion of Scream VI ...somewhere in this podcast. Granted, we do spend an extraordinarily long time debating our own rankings and fighting to the bloody death about who (*cough* Tom McNab *cough*) is right, and who (*cough* Ben Tahija *cough*) is wrong when it comes to where...
Scream VI Trailer Reaction
December 25, 2022 14:14 - 58 minutes - 54.8 MBOl' Saint Nicky isn't the only one dashing through in white and red today, as a bloodstained Ghostface is BACK to terrorise your Winter! Our Pretty Little Screamers, Tom McNab and Chelsea White, have assembled to watch the teaser trailer for Scream VI and share with you all of their immediate thoughts, reactions, and theories - trust that they STU over every possible detail from the franchise and won't leave you JILL-ted when it comes to speculating whose ROMAN around New York!!!
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (first half of season one)
August 07, 2022 23:49 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBThey Night They Came Home. But it's day time and only one of them is at home and, ya know what, this reference works as well here as it does in this show. Anyway, Melissa & Ben are back to discuss the first five episodes of season one (aka what is sure to be the only season) of PLL's latest incarnation, Original Sin! We've watched five hours of this show so find out with us if we can name the main characters! We can name a bukake of movie references contained in this show, at least. We also ...
Halloween Ends Trailer Reaction
August 01, 2022 20:01 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MBIt's summer, so you know what that means - we're getting in Shape! The Shape, to be more specific, as a new Halloween trailer was released. When we say this is a teaser trailer, we really mean it, they're edging us good! So we spend most of the time talking about our thoughts on Halloween Kills (spoilers, duh), before leaving you with a little "treAt" for what's in store next time on Pretty Little Podcasters.
Scream (2022)
July 25, 2022 20:30 - 2 hours - 111 MBIt's been an honour! Like the ghost of Billy Loomis, Ben has reappeared in our lives and on the pod! Along with Chelsea White and Tom McNab, they discuss all the minutia of Scream 5 AKA Scream 2022 AKA 5cream (we're talking mondo spoilers, bonehead)! What exactly is the backstory with Tara and Sam's mother? How do you pronounce Babadook? And going forward in the franchise, can we please just normalise Ghostface having boobs, 'kay?!
Scream 4 (2011)
April 18, 2022 21:12 - 2 hours - 119 MBScream fans had to wait 11 years for a new entry, you should all be thankful we only made you wait 11 weeks! Do you want to hear what we were doing during that time? Definitely, somehow, watching all 7 Stab movies (we enjoy the one with Lucy Hale)! Do you want to hear Chelsea's dark secret in regards to opening night way back in April 2011? Do you want to hear all about Tom's pitch for a 2007 remake of Scream that would have OBVIOUSLY been a huge success and spawned its very own sequel?! ...
Scream 3 (2000)
January 27, 2022 17:59 - 3 hours - 181 MBIt occurred to us that in our Scream 2 episode we completely overlooked the Joshua Jackson cameo, so to ensure nothing like that ever happened again we went super in-depth on every detail of Scream 3. The concluding chapter of the trilogy, the first film of the new millennium, and with it came the introduction of Ghostface using the highest of modern technology! No, not the voice changer, Ghostface uses a FAX MACHINE! Safe to say we leave no facet of Scream 3 untouched (duh, you can see it's ...
Scream 2 (1997)
January 06, 2022 05:20 - 2 hours - 117 MBThis episode runs the gamut as it finds our Pretty Little Screamers accusing a nurse of trying to kill them because they thought she looked like the killer and pondering a prequel that's actually a romantic comedy wherein the killers are running around trying to play matchmaker by setting up Omar Epps and Jada Pinkett and lavishing them with free gifts of Tori Spelling movie tickets! We also hypothesize whether or not Diane Sawyer would do our girl Sidney dirty, much like she did to Britney ...
Scream (1996)
December 23, 2021 20:24 - 2 hours - 132 MBDo you like scary podcasts? Okay, it isn't really scary but you see what I was doing. Starting with this episode, Tom McNab (aka our pal and yours, British Tom) takes over hosting duties with herself Chelsea White (of Cabernet & A fame) as his awesome and wonderful co-host to cover all the Scream movies in a limited series called, naturally, Pretty Little Screamers! This week Tom and Chelsea sink their cleaver into the first movie and even bring you never before heard (yeah, we got exclusive...

On this special Halloween episode, Ben and British Tom break down the Scream 5 trailer with none other than Chelsea White! British Tom and Chelsea will be taking over the feed to delightfully and meticulously cover all of the Scream movies culminating with the newest movie, Scream (aka Scream 5) that drops in January.
Pretty Little Myers: Halloween Kills Trailer Reaction
June 27, 2021 14:26 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBLike Michael Myers after having both his eyes shot out and being set on fire, Tom and Ben are back! Is that too dark? We are here to break down the new Halloween Kills trailer so that is the vibe anyway.
LIVE in the UK Minisode with British Tom!
January 23, 2020 16:10 - 4 minutes - 6.55 MBBen took a jaunt to the UK and got to meet British Tom! Naturally, we had to immortalize the moment in podcast form.
PLL: The Perfectionists Pilot
March 22, 2019 03:39 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBMelissa and Ben are back in the Dollhouse to discuss the pilot episode of The Perfectionists! How do the new Liars stack up? Is Mona just James Bond now? Has Mona ever seen, let alone cut, a pie before? How does a TA-ship actually work? Where can I download that cello cover of Poker Face? So many questions! And will Melissa and Ben be drug in enough to watch episode two? Listen to find out!
Halloween (1978)
October 31, 2018 13:54 - 2 hours - 83.4 MBTom & Ben discuss the seminal (what does that word mean, by the way?) horror classic from John Carpenter! Tom even reads from his essays about the movie. Yeah, pural. EssayS. He is a true Halloween fan if his love of Tina didn't already tip you off.
Halloween (2018)
October 30, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBAlright, y'all, reset your timelines because we are having a spoiler-filled discussion about the newest Halloween. So snuggle up in your panic room and hit play!
Halloween 2 (1981)
October 29, 2018 14:38 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBMORE of the night Tom and Ben disagreed about a movie called Halloween 2. We are both, however, pleased to discuss the first and only movie in the franchise with some much needed male nudity. Thanks, Bud.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
September 24, 2018 23:11 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBThis movie is basically the meet-cute between Loomis and Jamie. You know, before he spends the entirety of part 5 mentally destroying her. We also discuss the franchise timeline (it all adds up perfectly, don't worry), who is Jamie's father, why/how Jamie has a picture of her murderous uncle, just all the essentials.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
September 17, 2018 14:34 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBIs Tina one of the deepest and richest characters in the entire franchise? That's a legit discussion that happens on this episode.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
September 10, 2018 04:00 - 2 hours - 84.4 MBWords like "bonkers" and "lunacy" are thrown around a lot in this episode because there are just few other adjectives that so appropriately describe this movie. A movie that made Michael Myers the bumbling sidekick in his own franchise. And that is before we even get to the Producer's Cut and it gets all power-of-the-runes on us. We had great green gobs of fun talking about this movie and hope you all enjoy it, too!
Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998)
September 03, 2018 12:52 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBHalloween: Resurrection took a lot out of us but we are professionals so we're back! This one movie contains so much iconography from the franchise and also oodles of references to the preceding movies and other horror franchises. There is much to discuss so don't lose your head (see what I did there?), just hit play and join us!
Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
July 16, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 55 MBThe reception this film got led to the studio completely rebooting the franchise. Is it really that bad?! Yes. Yes, it is. A thousand times yes. But Tom & Ben still go in with open minds and warm hearts to break down Halloween: Resurrection!
Scary Summer Scream Fest
July 14, 2018 23:24 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBMelissa is back in the podcasting dollhouse with Ben to talk some teens! That sounds weird but we explain it in the episode. It is still weird once you hear it explained. Fair warning. On the premiere outing of the Scary Summer Scream Fest we are covering the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street!
Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007)
July 02, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 87 MBRob Zombie's take on Halloween was a box office smash hit (it still holds the record for biggest Labor Day opening in the US of A) but fans are still split on this half origin story / half remake. Ben and Tom break it all down and split on which half of the movie they prefer. We want to hear your thoughts (even if you're wrong and think Scout Taylor Compton is a good Laurie Strode) so let us hear em: Twitter: @PrettyLittlePod Insta: @prettylittlepod
Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (2009)
June 18, 2018 04:00 - 2 hours - 120 MBThe first episode of our Halloween retrospective has finally arrived! Tom and Ben are covering what could easily be the most controversial flick of the entire franchise, Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (or as the cool kids call it, H2). RIP to the wonderful Margot Kidder who passed away after this episode was recorded. We want to hear your thoughts (even if you're wrong and hate Halloween 2) so let us hear em: Twitter: @PrettyLittlePod Insta: @prettylittlepod
Introducing... Pretty Little Myers!
June 10, 2018 17:00 - 28 minutes - 21.3 MBJoin Ben and Tom as they do a deep dive retrospective on all the Halloween movies from Rob Zombie's remake to the 1978 classic that started it all. This limited series will then conclude with a weekend of release review of the brand new Halloween! On today's episode, we tell you what prompted all this and we react to the recently released first trailer for Halloween! If you've never seen a Halloween movie, now's the time to jump on board! Think of them like PLL: it started off really well, g...
{S07 E13} "Hold Your Piece" & {S07 E14} "Power Play"
May 18, 2017 22:56 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBWe are back to mourn yet another black person that has been claimed by the racist soul of Rosewood. RIP Yvonne #NeverForget Oh, and Ali is pregnant with Emily's baby probably. Yeah. You heard me.
{S07 E11} "Playtime" & {S07 E12} "These Boots Were Made For Stalking"
May 11, 2017 01:40 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBBen and Marissa have escaped from the Dollhouse long enough to discuss the first two episodes of 7B! We then free Melissa just long enough for some wedding speculation. We'll see you again soon to get caught up on the season thus far... we hope...
{PLP Movie Club} King Cobra
December 05, 2016 20:48 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBIn this simulcast with Yas Queen: The Podcast, Ben is joined by his buddy Ash to break down King Cobra! This movie stars Keegan Allen and I am happy to report we are definitely not Palo Alto'd. He and his abs and his buttocks are ALL prominently featured in this movie.
Vanderpump Fools {S05 E04}
November 29, 2016 18:42 - 16 minutes - 15.6 MBGuys, Ben's super punchy and he may be watching this season as a modern retelling of The Shining and Katie is playing the Jack Nicholson role. I guess that makes Schwartz the Shelley Duvall? Yeah, that actually makes sense.
Vanderpump Fools {S05 E03}
November 23, 2016 18:15 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MBKatie is still a mean girl and James is still killin it on the DJ front.
Vanderpump Fools {S05 E02}
November 16, 2016 23:24 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBPretty Little Podcasters presents... Vanderpump Fools! Welcome back to our Vanderpump Rules featurette! Today we discuss the ongoing fallout of MuffinGate, the cultural ignorance of Lisa Vanderpump and why Kristin should totally visit Yulin, China. Please forgive the ambient noises, we will record inside of doors next time, I promise. Have any thoughts you want to share? Let's Vander-hear them! Twitter: @PrettyLittlePod Insta: @prettylittlepod Email: [email protected]
Vanderpump Fools {S05 E01}
November 14, 2016 22:30 - 15 minutes - 14.7 MBPretty Little Podcasters presents... Vanderpump Fools: a Vanderpump Rules Podcast Featurette! Did you ever wonder what would happen if the worst inhabitants of Rosewood moved to Los Angeles and worked at a Real Housewife's restaurant? Okay, that's a thin connection to PLL, we admit that. But you're legit not gonna find a better way to get through this long hiatus than watching a reality show that features a young lady from Kentucky get berated by her scumbag boyfriend into getting a double...
{S07 E10} "The DArkest Knight"
September 02, 2016 04:37 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBA lot happened in the final mid-season finale of PLL. Did all of it make sense? Well,no. Did even most of it make sense? No, not really. We break down every ship and every death (there was only one, at most btw) and we spend a lot of time defending Noel and Jenna. And even more time discussing the looped conversation about Ramen that was pivotal to this episode for some reason.
{S07 E09} "The Wrath of Kahn"
August 26, 2016 03:22 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBPaige is creepin again, Emily is worthless again (read: still), Aria is relieved some poor Australian girl is still dead, Noel is still looking super hot, that is, until Hanna caves in his skull with a metal pipe. It almost sounds like this was an eventful episode, doesn't it?
{S07 E08} "Exes and OMGs"
August 19, 2016 05:10 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBWe talk about the welcome return of Grunwald and the supernatural element of the show, Noel's deadly hotness and Aria's scene stealing. We read some great listener tweets and theories. And on-air we deal with literally having seen a man die fifteen minutes before we started recording.
{S07 E07} "Original G'A'ngsters"
August 12, 2016 03:10 - 1 hour - 75 MBYeah, not a typo, that is the actual title of this episode of PLL. It should give you an idea of what we're in for. In this episode Ben & Melissa discuss how car alarms work since no one on the set or in the writer's room at PLL seems to have the foggiest idea and the movie The Notebook comes up a lot. Like, a lot.
{S07 E06} "Wanted: Dead or Alive"
August 05, 2016 05:06 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBAfter an absolutely unnecessary one week hiatus, PLL is back and so are we! It is another experimental episode of the podcast. All three of your hosts are here this week, just not all together at any point. Listen and it will make sense. Hope you guys enjoy it!
{S07 E05} "Along Comes Mary"
July 21, 2016 04:08 - 43 minutes - 40 MBThis episode may as well have just been called "Just look how damn good Noel Kahn looks now, you guys."
{S07 E04} "Hit and Run, Run, Run"
July 15, 2016 03:27 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBMarissa is back from the near-dead! And, as it happens, Jenna and Mona are, too! The appearance of these old familiar faces lead to some fun reminiscing about the history of PLL until one of our chairs tries to kill us.
{S07 E03} "The Talented Mr. Rollins"
July 08, 2016 04:26 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBAfter two lackluster episodes, season seven comes roaring to life! In fact, the appearance of an Amish girl with dolls of the PLLs is only like the fourth most interesting part of the episode!
{S07 E02} "Bedlam"
July 01, 2016 02:09 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MBWhat were the three highlights of this episode of Pretty Little Liars? Glad you asked. They were: 1. Hanna's boobs, 2. Ali's wet neck and 3. infant mortality.
{S07 E01} "Tick-Tock, Bitches"
June 22, 2016 05:39 - 51 minutes - 47 MBPLL is back! And the liars have 24 hours to save Hanna! We see that some of the girls spend their time tending to their sexual desires as opposed to trying to rescue their friend but whatever. Does the premiere improve upon the lackluster end to last season? Listen and find out! Be a pal and subscribe and leave us a good review on iTunes!
{BONUS} Season Seven Teaser Poster
May 27, 2016 02:00 - 9 minutes - 8.97 MBHow bad is the teaser poster for season seven? Well, we saw it while at work and fled to an empty office to immediately discuss it and we thought we'd record it, too, so you all can join in the discussion. If you haven't seen this monstrosity yet, head over to our twitter @PrettyLittlePod and check it out.
{PLP Movie Club} Daredevil
April 12, 2016 01:46 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBBen Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Daredevil is criminally underrated. And we're gonna prove it! If you like The Cinematic Defenders Podcast be sure to subscribe in iTunes!
{S06 E20} "Hush... Hush, Sweet Liars"
March 16, 2016 06:14 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBThere's a kind of hush all over the world tonight...
{S06 E19} "Did You Miss Me?"
March 11, 2016 04:15 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBYou guys, things went wrong trying to get this episode to you. So many things.
{S06 E18} "Burn This"
March 04, 2016 04:40 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBThis week's episode of Pretty Little Liars was definitely a step up from the last three, but was it enough to break this PLL slump? You'll have to listen to find out!
{BONUS} The Cinematic Defenders
February 25, 2016 05:00 - 1 hour - 81.9 MBHello Pretty Little Podcasters Listeners! Ben here! I just wanted to introduce you to my new podcast called The Cinematic Defenders! On it, I (along with different special guests each episode) come to the defense of movies that have a bad wrap. We come at these movies with fresh eyes and optimistic hearts! On the premiere episode we are watching Man of Steel and I am overjoyed to have the wonderful Mike Schmidt and our very own Marissa (who was a Superman movie virgin before this podcast) as...
{S06 E17} "We've All Got Baggage" with CAbernet And A!
February 24, 2016 07:15 - 1 hour - 63 MBIt is a fantastical crossover event with Sue Funke and Chelsea White of CAbernet And A! It is the perfect episode to have Chelsea and Sue here, too, since this was yet another filler episode that was lined wall to wall with boring white dudes from muppet-voiced Liam to Melba Toast Rollins (to quote Chelsea). So, we might go off the rails a time or two but that's how you like it anyway, don't lie.
