The Unfriended Cinematic Universe with Pete Volk
Description
CONTENT WARNING: This episode centers around a movie whose inciting incident is a teen suicide.
We're shaking up our guest episode format beginning with this pitch from PV Guide's Pete Volk — instead of outlining one remake or reimagining, guest storytellers will have to figure out how to expand a dead or dying intellectual property into a fully-fledged cinematic universe! Critic and journalist Pete Volk kicks us off with his plans to revitalize Unfriended, the horror film series set entirely in the digital world.
PLUS: An announcement about our upcoming full-script, full-cast crossover extravaganza, War of the Worlds!
