277 - Pt. 2 - I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (RT)
It’s a tough spot, living in the shadow of the Scream franchise and, specifically, living in the shadow of Sydney Prescott. Not that Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t do well by herself as a movie & TV star, but the Last Summer films do tend to get lost amid the other 90s slashers. So how does I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER fare when it’s judged on its own merits - if that’s even possible? Listen to this Real Talk segment to find out!
