I Know What You Did Last Summer

Episode 134: I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

Theme: Summer Movies Month
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis dive into the glossy, post-Scream 90s slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer — the movie that blends Drop Dead Gorgeous × Jaws × Scooby-Doo × a Gorton’s Fisherman commercial into one rain-slicked, cleavage-forward, hook-swinging teen panic attack. It’s Fourth of July, fish guts, pageants, sweaters, screaming, and Jennifer Love Hewitt running away from every emotional conversation ever written.

The Movie Marriage: Drop Dead Gorgeous × Jaws × Scooby-Doo × Gorton’s Fisherman

The hosts break down:

• The four leads — Julie, Helen, Ray, and Barry: two traumatized teens, one pageant queen, and one poor guy who must remind you every 12 minutes that he is very poor.
• The Fisherman — stealth expert, door-unlocker, hairdresser, boat captain, dragger of corpses, crab removal specialist, and surprisingly polite murderer.
• The chase scenes — Helen’s entire third act: staircases, mannequins, alleys, fireworks, and the world’s longest Fourth of July parade.
• Missy Egan — local hermit, exposition machine, owner of the creepiest porch in North Carolina.
• The finale — conspiracy collage rooms, boat chases, necro-hook fencing, severed limbs, and Julie discovering that nothing screams horror like a shared dorm bathroom.

Final Verdict:

Oz — New England Vibes
Curtis — 44 Instances of Jennifer Love Hewitt Running Away From a Conversation

Next week: Summer Movies Month wraps up with One Crazy Summer (1986) — John Cusack, Demi Moore, Bobcat Goldthwait, lobster suits, cartoon cutaways, and the purest form of 80s nonsense ever committed to film. Bring your foam surfboard.
