I Know What You Did Last Summer Series Episode 5
A new cast but the same old hooker
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!
