  • Cecilia from The Invisible Man (2020)
    You can’t fight what you can’t see, unless you’ve already survived the worst. In The Invisible Man (2020), Cecilia Kass escapes an abusive relationship… only to be haunted by a presence that no one else believes exists. This week, we dive into Cecilia’s chilling Final Girl journey, unpacking how the film turns gaslighting into a literal monster, explores the differences between seeing and unseeing, and puts control and autonomy back into the hands of its heroine. We also explore the film’s unflinching portrayal of domestic abuse, isolation, and disbelief—and how Cecilia’s transformation feels real and unsettling, even from behind the safety and comfort of the screen.Spoiler Warning: The truth is visible, especially when it comes to The Invisible Man.

  • Ripley from Alien
    In space, no one can hear you scream—but Ripley makes damn sure they hear her survive. In Alien (1979), Sigourney Weaver redefined what a Final Girl could be: smart, resourceful, emotionally grounded, and completely unafraid to torch a xenomorph when it comes down to it. This week, we board the Nostromo and break down Ripley’s iconic status, how she shattered the gender norms of horror, and why her legacy still looms large over the Final Girls canon.We also explore the film’s themes of bodily autonomy, corporate exploitation, and fear of the unknown—and why Ripley remains the gold standard for survival when the monster isn't just in the shadows, but inside the system.Content Note: There is a discussion about sexual violence as a major theme in this film.Spoiler Warning: There are some things lurking in the vents—like Alien spoilers. Listen at your own risk.If you’re loving Final Girls, a quick rating or review helps other horror fans find the pod—and it means we don’t have to send a distress signal to deep space.Theme by Max Anson
