Final Girls

Angsty goth girls unite! Stokely is our Final Girl in 1998’s teen horror cult classic The Faculty, and this week we’re chasing her story like the queen alien who chases Frodo through the gymnasium. This movie has one of the most STACKED casts of all time, including YOUNG JON STEWART WITH A GOATEE??? We also cover whether Planet Hollywood is still a thing and the Cabin in the Woods/the Faculty easter egg fan theory. Go Hornets!

Carrie White is Burning in Hell! This week, we unpack the telekinetic Final Girl victim/villain arc of Carrie White from the 1976 film Carrie. This movie is a hard watch because really, who hasn’t been relentlessly bullied at some point in their life? We also cover the religious psychosis that conditioned her to be scared of her body and whether or not we should consider getting Carrie insurance on our houses. Remember: the greatest revenge on a bully isn’t trapping them in a gym, but a life well lived.

We’re back from our travels and PUMPED to talk about one of our favorite performances in a horror movie of all time - Toni Collette as Lynn in The Sixth Sense (1999). This was one of the most grounded, realistic portrayals of a mother’s fear and exhaustion we’ve ever seen. Even if she’s not a Typical Final Girl™, we think she’s deserving of the title because she shows that bravery is doing the thing despite the fear, and strength and courage look different for every single person. Also, Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis-ing hard in this movie and we’re here for it. Except for his sexy dance.

This episode is a love letter to nostalgic millennials who saved up their chore money for the Scholastic Book Fair. This week, we’re covering Deena from Fear Street 1994 (2021), a charming trilogy based on the Fear Street novels by R.L. Stine. Deena’s an angsty feminist punk Final Girl whose story isn’t just about surviving a killer curse, but also aggressively defending her culturally unaccepted relationship with the girl she loves. Will she save her girlfriend and beat the curse of Sarah Fier? Is Shadyside vs. Sunnyvale the same as Pawnee vs. Eagleton? Will we see a Babysitters Club revival? What are Sarah and Kellie’s old AIM screen names? Listen to find out!

Double Trouble! This week we’re teaming up with Maggie and Kassie from Skip or Scream Podcast to dive into the Final Girl journey of Maddie from Hush (2016). In this film, our Final Girl lives by herself in the middle of the forest, you know, like you do. Because of her hearing impairment, she has to fight like a Final Girl in some alternative ways, and some very classic ways, and we think she’s a badass all around for it.
