Wes Craven
Scream 2
(1997)
"blame it on the movies" (Mickey's argument); demonstrates misunderstanding of Scream 1
Jada Pinkett Smith intro:
just because you address the problem does that fix the problem? (The lack of Black representation/bipoc represention)--the erasure of Black and POC in genre. Isn't taken seriously?
"primal adrenaline"--seems to suggest a "natural" male sex drive; right to sex drive as "natural"; "beastly" behavior

Billy's Mom: Mrs. Loomis
over simplifies "trauma mom" Vorheese model
critiques cycles of violence, but also side focuses on how women handle violence/trauma
