I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
2025-08-16
I Know What You Did Last Summer was Sony’s quick attempt to snag some of Scream’s box office blood money. So it feels fitting that this fishy franchise is once again following in Scream’s footsteps, coming back with a legacy sequel that recycles the original title. (Just like Halloween, Candyman, The Thing…) Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return to face off against a new fisherman, but does the new cast and mystery hook our hosts? It’s the final installment in our 2025 I Know What You Did Last Summer donation series, so support indie podcasts and donate today to find out if this movie is slicker than the original!

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021)
2025-08-16
Just when you thought this franchise was dead in the water, Amazon Prime dredges it back up for the streaming generation. I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Series trades in rain slickers and fishhooks for influencers, secrets, and enough teen angst to fill an entire clambake. There’s no fisherman, hook, or even a kid on a bike, but for the first time in the franchise, there’s an actual whodunnit. Did this eight-episode reboot reel in something fresh, or is it just chum in the water? Donate to support Now Playing Podcast and hear the full review now!

I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer
2025-07-14
Where do horror franchises go to die? Straight to DVD… and straight to hell. I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is the third wheel nobody asked for, ditching the original cast, crew, and common sense.

It’s got new teens, no thrills, and one absolutely bonkers twist that might actually make you laugh more than scream. Want to know what bait the killer fisherman’s dangling now? Donate to Now Playing Podcast and reel in our review of this flailing, failing sequel.

Congo
2025-06-27
Congo had the pedigree of a blockbuster: based on a Michael Crighton novel, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, directed by Frank Marshall, and featuring creatures by Stan Winston. It wanted to be the next Jurassic Park. And with a budget nearly as big, it sure tried. But instead of dino-sized success, we got killer gorillas, laser guns, and Tim Curry doing... whatever that accent was. Now, 30 years later, Congo is back in the spotlight with Now Playing Podcast’s new Patron-exclusive review. Is it a misunderstood adventure classic or just monkey business?

Book Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan
2025-06-27
Our 2025 Summer/Fall Donation Drive kicks off today with our review of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1997 slasher that made hook hands cool again. But before the gore, there was... guilt? In this bonus episode, Arnie digs into the 1973 young-adult novel by Lois Duncan. But slasher fans be warned: there's no fisherman, no slickers, and definitely no body count. Just a group of teens, a hit-and-run, and a slow-burning mystery that’s more Nancy Drew than Ghostface. Find out what changed, what got lost in translation, and why Duncan was not thrilled with the adaptation, in this bonus book review podcast.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
2025-06-27
After Scream slashed up the box office, every studio wanted in on the teen horror revival. Sony called up Kevin Williamson, and he hooked them up with his loose adaptation of a 1973 YA novel: I Know What You Did Last Summer. With hot young stars, a moderate body count, and a killer mystery, the film was a surprise hit in October 1997 and instantly became sleepover canon for a generation raised on Dawson’s Creek and dial-up. But nearly three decades later, does this thriller still have bite, or is it just riding a wave of '90s hype? Donate to support Now Playing Podcast and hear this bonus review to find out!
