Mindy Meeks-Martin:Okay, nerds. Listen up. As terrifying as this all is, I'm actually glad I get a chance to redeem myself for not... calling the killers last time. Yep. It's fine. Okay. The way I see it, Someone is out to make a sequel to the requel.Anika Kayoko: Um... what's a requel?Mindy Meeks-Martin:You're beautiful, sweetie. Let's hold questions till the end.Sam Carpenter:Stab 1 took place in Woodsboro. Stab 2 took place in college.Tara Carpenter:So, do we think that the killer is trying to copy the movies?Mindy Meeks-Martin:That is one possibility. Heroes now in college: check. Suspicious new characters brought in to round out the suspect list and or body count: check, check, and check.Ethan Landry:I don't like this.Mindy Meeks-Martin:It can't just be about Stab 2.Tara Carpenter:Why not?Mindy Meeks-Martin:It would make sense if this were just a sequel. But we're not in a sequel because nobody just makes sequels anymore. We're in a franchise and there are certain rules to a continuing franchise.Sam Carpenter:I had a feeling.Mindy Meeks-Martin:Rule number one: Everything is bigger than last time. Bigger budget, bigger cast, bigger body count, longer chases, shootouts, beheadings. You gotta top what came before to keep people coming back.Chad Meeks-Martin:Beheadings?Mindy Meeks-Martin:Beheadings. Rule two: Whatever happened last time, expect the opposite. Franchises only survive by subverting expectations. If the killers last time were whiny, snowflake film nerds with letterboxed accounts instead of personalities, you can bet the opposite will be true here. And rule three: No one is safe. Legacy characters? Cannon fodder at this point, usually brought back only to be killed off in some cheap bid for nostalgia. It's not looking too good for Gale and Kirby. Oh, and that's not even the worse part.Chad Meeks-Martin:Oh, this is the part where she tells us the worst part.Mindy Meeks-Martin:The worst part is franchises are just continuing episodic installments designed to boost an IP, which means main characters are expendable now, too. Laurie Strode. Nancy Thompson. Ellen Ripley. Sally Hardesty. Jigsaw. Tony Stark. James Bond. I mean, even Luke Skywalker all died so their franchises would live on. That means it's not just the friend group. Any of us could go at any time... especially Sam and Tara.Ethan Landry:Wait, wait. Any of us?Mindy Meeks-Martin:Yeah.Ethan Landry:This. Am...? Am I in the friend group?Mindy Meeks-Martin:Yeah.Ethan Landry:Am I like one of the targets? Am I gonna die a virgin?Mindy Meeks-Martin:That was a weird overshare. But it brings us to our current suspects. Ethan. The shy, dorky guy, who no one suspects because he's so shy and dorky.Ethan Landry:Okay, wait. Why am I on the suspect list? Because I'm, randomly, Chad's roommate?Mindy Meeks-Martin:Roommate lotteries can be juked. You could've fixed it to get next to us. Quinn. The slutty roommate, a horror movie... classic.Quinn Bailey:Sex Positive, but... thank you?Mindy Meeks-Martin:Mm-hmm. Um, how did you come to live with Sam and Tara?Quinn Bailey:I answered their add online.Mindy Meeks-Martin:Okay. Say no more, you already implicated yourself enough!Tara Carpenter:It was an anonymous ad, Mindy. And you know we've vetted her. Plus, her Dad is a cop.Mindy Meeks-Martin:And that makes it more likely that she's the killer because having a cop Dad is a great cover. Do you not remember how these movies work, Tara?Quinn Bailey: She always like this?Mindy Meeks-Martin:And, finally... Anika.Mindy Meeks-Martin:Never trust the love interest.Sam Carpenter:Okay. So, we have our rules and we have our suspects.Ethan Landry:Wait, wait, wait. What about you guys?Mindy Meeks-Martin:I mean, it's pretty safe to rule out the four of us, who went through this last year in Woodsboro.Chad Meeks-Martin:Agreed.Quinn Bailey:Um... Not agreed. What if the trauma you all went through caused one or more of you to snap?Ethan Landry:Yeah, and the fame you got from the killings made you thirsty for more. I mean, let's be honest here. Some of the theories online about Sam are...Tara Carpenter: Don't you fucking dare!Anika Kayoko:Okay, she's right, though. I mean, face facts. If we're all suspects, you're all suspects

Okay nerds listen up
00:00:03.655 --> 00:00:05.057
As terrifying as this all is
00:00:05.744 --> 00:00:08.997
I'm actually glad I get a chance to redeem myself
00:00:08.182 --> 00:00:10.575
for not calling the killers last time
00:00:10.749 --> 00:00:13.361
Yep It's fine Okay
00:00:13.535 --> 00:00:16.973
The way I see it someone is out to make a sequel to the requel
00:00:17.147 --> 00:00:18.801
Um what's a requel
00:00:18.975 --> 00:00:21.934
You're beautiful sweetie Let's hold questions to the end
00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:24.154
Stab 1 took place in Woodsboro
00:00:24.328 --> 00:00:26.809
Stab 2 took place in college
00:00:26.983 --> 00:00:29.159
So we think that the killer is trying to copy the movies
00:00:29.333 --> 00:00:30.769
That is one possibility
00:00:30.943 --> 00:00:32.989
Heroes now in college Check
00:00:33.163 --> 00:00:35.818
Suspicious new characters brought in to round out the suspect list
00:00:35.992 --> 00:00:39.001
and or body count Check check and check I don't like this
00:00:39.256 --> 00:00:40.866
But it can't just be about Stab 2
00:00:41.999 --> 00:00:42.738
Why not It would make sense
00:00:42.912 --> 00:00:44.305
if this were just a sequel
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:45.784
But we're not in a sequel
00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:48.135
because nobody just makes sequels anymore
00:00:50.615 --> 00:00:52.226
We're in a franchise
00:00:52.004 --> 00:00:55.794
And there are certain rules to a continuing franchise
00:00:55.968 --> 00:00:57.927
I had a feeling Rule one
00:00:58.101 --> 00:00:59.624
Everything is bigger than last time
00:00:59.798 --> 00:01:02.627
Bigger budget bigger cast bigger body count
00:01:02.801 --> 00:01:04.542
Longer chases shoot outs beheadings
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:06.999
You got to top what came before to keep people coming back
00:01:06.762 --> 00:01:08.001
Beheadings Beheadings
00:01:08.851 --> 00:01:12.202
Rule two Whatever happened last time expect the opposite
00:01:12.376 --> 00:01:15.249
Franchises only survive by subverting expectations
00:01:15.423 --> 00:01:18.426
If the killers last time were whiny snowflake film nerds
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:20.471
with Letterboxd accounts instead of personalities
00:01:20.645 --> 00:01:23.001
you can bet the opposite will be true here
00:01:23.431 --> 00:01:26.738
And rule three No one is safe
00:01:26.001 --> 00:01:29.654
Legacy characters Cannon fodder at this point
00:01:29.828 --> 00:01:31.001
Usually brought back only to be killed off
00:01:31.083 --> 00:01:33.876
in some cheap bid for nostalgia
00:01:34.997 --> 00:01:36.574
It's not looking too good for Gale and Kirby
00:01:36.748 --> 00:01:38.837
Oh and that's not even the worst part
00:01:39.996 --> 00:01:40.097
This is the part where she tells us the worst part
00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:43.019
The worst part is
00:01:43.364 --> 00:01:47.759
franchises are just continuing episodic installments designed to boost an IP
00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:50.003
Which means main characters
00:01:50.999 --> 00:01:52.999
are completely expendable now too
00:01:52.503 --> 00:01:55.767
Laurie Strode Nancy Thompson Ellen Ripley
00:01:55.941 --> 00:01:58.001
Sally Hardesty Jigsaw Tony Stark James Bond
00:01:58.857 --> 00:02:00.511
I mean even Luke Skywalker
00:02:00.685 --> 00:02:03.253
all died so their franchises could live on
00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:05.001
That means it's not just the friend group
00:02:05.821 --> 00:02:08.999
Any of us could go at any time
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:11.001
especially Sam and Tara
00:02:13.999 --> 00:02:15.999
Wait any of us Mindy Yeah
00:02:15.613 --> 00:02:18.999
Am I in the friend group Mindy Yeah
00:02:18.399 --> 00:02:20.001
Am I like one of the targets Mindy Mm hmm
00:02:22.002 --> 00:02:23.999
Am I gonna die a virgin
00:02:25.999 --> 00:02:26.001
That was a weird overshare
00:02:27.991 --> 00:02:29.001
But it brings us to our current suspects
00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:30.999
Ethan
00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:32.001
The shy dorky guy who no one suspects
