Welcome to the first 2017 episode of Scream at the Screens, an episode of 2016 reviews, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and what we’re looking forward to in 2017.

This was SATS first year as a Podcast and we were fortunate enough to start of with a memorable and successful Rated-R comic book movie: “Deadpool”.

The year gave us some great TV too with the epic 6th season of “Game of Thrones”, a sad yet oddly boring season of “The Walking Dead” and introducing us to “Stranger Things” and “Westworld”.

As expected Disney ruled the box office and gave us our first look at “Doctor Strange” and the Awesome “Captain America Civil War”. They also proved they could make believable CGI live action animal focused movies.

However, as great as the movies and TV were this year, it did not make up for all the great entertainers we’ve lost. Stars like Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, David Bowie Music legends like Prince and George Michael and last but not least Carrie Fisher and her adored mother Debbie Reynolds.

Carrie’s death leaves fans wondering how her death will effect Star Wars or if they will just use CGI to bring her back like they did in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”.

Rogue One did as good as expected if not more and is well on its way to making 1 billion worldwide. It received warm reviews by critics and praise from fans. The movie has it flaws and strengths but overall it was an awesome success and received a solid 9 rating from us.

The upcoming year has a highly anticipated line up of movies, which we try to cover a large portion of, or at least hope to touch on the obvious blockbusters. There are also some unexpected remakes such as a Friday the 13th, which details of that movie can be heard on one of our fellow Podcasts “Return to Camp Blood”

Join us next week where we will cover a little known but well made horror movie “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” and hit us up on twitter to let us know what highlights we missed of 2016 or what we should be anticipating for 2017.
