  • Description
    When Gen X nostalgia reinvigorated 1970s pop culture during the 1990s, the TV cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was undoubtedly a belle of that ball. That nostalgia infused with corporate interests to ensure a Mystery Machine shirt could be purchased at Gadzooks nationwide. It also set the slow-growing seeds of a live-action film that arrived in that nostalgia's faded light with keen self-awareness to both lean into and redefine its characters and tropes, not unlike the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo 1980s reboot. In this film version, Scooby-Doo and his mystery-solving buddies Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), and Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) have disbanded after shuttering Mystery, Inc. When each one is invited to the ominously named Spooky Island to investigate hauntings at the popular Spring Break locale, the crew ascertains whether the threats are paranormal or more earthly.
