Scary Movie didn't just parody horror it gave a generation permission to laugh at the things that scared them. Then the Wayans left. And we all felt the difference.
Now they're back. Marlon. Shawn. The original crew. And in this conversation, Marlon reveals the moment that made it happen: a promise made to his father, hand to hand, on one of the last times they were together. We talk about what it's like to work with your brother again after 26 years, the difference between bullying and looking out for someone (Marlon claims it's the same thing), how they kept the scenes grounded while giving each other room to go completely off-script, and which films sat at the centre of this one. Marlon also gets into why he thinks laughter is a political act right now — and why audiences are desperate to feel good again.
Scary Movie is in UK cinemas from 5 June.
