Après le coup de couteau de génie de Scream en 1996, le slasher n'est pas mort… il a muté. Dans cette 2ème partie, on décrypte le slasher post-Scream : son héritage, ses détournements et ses nouvelles formes. Au programme : la saga Scream et son influence durable, les héritiers directs : Souviens-toi l'été dernier, Destination Finale, les parodies du type Scary Movie qui ont retourné le couteau dans la plaie.Mais aussi les relectures sombres que sont Halloween version Rob Zombie et la trilogie « reboot » de David Gordon Green et enfin le renouveau sanglant avec Fear Street, Terrifier et A Violent Nature.Deux débats enflammés : la longévité du genre et l'évolution de la Final Girl et pour finir, un top des scènes cultes ainsi qu'un quizz spécial slasher pour les vrais survivants !Entre nostalgie, analyse et bonne mauvaise foi assumée, ce nouvel épisode tranche dans le vif d'un genre qui refuse de mourir.

Meanwhile, CryptoPunks gets handed off to a nonprofit like an expired Groupon—proof the NFT hype cycle ends with a 501(c)(3) and a shrug.IN THE NEWS, Microsoft trims another 3% of its workforce while a former Metaverse engineer delivers DoorDash from a trailer—living proof that “the future of work” is just working for the apps. Klarna quietly admits AI sucks at customer service and hires back actual people, just as OpenAI's reasoning models hit the brakes. The Pope wants to exorcise AI, Elon's backfiring Copyright Office coup leaves him empty-handed, and YouTube starts banning AI-faked trailers that made Screen Culture money off Marvel lies. Jamie Lee Curtis goes full Final Girl on Zuckerberg, and Tesla drama ramps up: robotaxis under investigation, employees revolting, and one poor dealership manager gets canned for telling the truth about ol' Musky. Oh, and scientists say the universe might die sooner than expected—cool cool cool.In MEDIA CANDY, Murderbot arrives May 16, NIN launches the Future Ruins Festival, and Star Trek and Star Wars both dig up classic soundtracks for some retro feels. Jessica Jones returns in Daredevil: Born Again, Fallout gets Seasons 2 and 3, and even Nobody 2 is back for more murder-dad mayhem.
