Episode four of Madamned focuses on the victims-turned-heroes baddies in Wes Craven's 1996 slasher classic, Scream 😱🔪
I dive into the virgin horror movie trope a bit by dissecting how Sidney, the film's protagonist, defeats the Ghostface killer(s) despite losing her virginity halfway through the film 🌸🌷💪🏽💋
Most importantly, I discuss the badass ways that the strong women characters throughout the film punish white male rage by bravely confronting it head-on and beating men at their own silly game 😛🖕🏽🔫
