Final Girls

Tell everyone! And carry an EpiPen! This week we’re examining the artful world of Brianna from Candyman (2021) and her journey to figuring out who the Candyman is and what his relationship is to her boyfriend Anthony. This movie is heavy-handed about police brutality, racism, gentrification, and more, but in our opinion, there are a LOT of people who need to hear these messages so we support the ultra clear delivery completely. We also discuss if Bri would really own a branded merchandise pen from a laundromat (honestly, probably not, she’s too chic for that) and how visually gorgeous this movie is.

When we were watching The Ruins again, we both had the same thought: maybe DON’T be one of THOSE tourists who takes photos of locals like they’re props and then proceeds to visit an unmapped area that those same locals told you not to visit (in flip flops, too, by the way.) This week we’re covering our Final Girl Amy’s vacation from hell, cursed ruins, spooky vines, having a med school boyfriend, crude leg amputations, and why you also shouldn’t wear your favorite earrings to lounge by the pool unless it’s for a specific party aesthetic. (Obviously, we learn a lot about what NOT to do from this one.)

This week our friends from Chopping It Up are joining us to break down John Carpenter’s 1980 spooky cult classic, The Fog! Get ready to learn A LOT about this movie and its two Final Girls, Elizabeth (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Stevie (Adrienne Barbeau.) We go into how much we love the idea of being a radio DJ in a lighthouse, the way Carpenter decided to make a ghost story about fog, how to get unstuck from the mud in your car, the tea behind Barbeau and Carpenter themselves, and the coziness of Northern California coastal towns. We also decide that we all would happily hitchhike with Kurt Russell. Check out Chopping It Up! IG: @choppingituphorrorpod Bluesky: @choppingitup

If you knew you had seven days to live, would you spend them chasing LEAD after LEAD like our Final Girl Rachel in The Ring (2002) and Kellie? Or would you be like Sarah and say eff it, and catch a plane to Bali for your remaining days? This week we’re tracking Rachel’s grim, wet, blue/green journey through Seattle, in a movie that could literally just be titled “Final Girl Research: The Movie.” Also: did you recognize the guy who plays Noah from Britney Spears’ Toxic music video?

“Pacts with the devil - real or bullsh*t?” That is the question on everyone’s mind in Ready or Not (2019) and especially for our ICONIC Final Girl Grace. Grace sets the FG standard - she’s got moxie, resourcefulness, and commitment (our top three ingredients) on LOCK. We dedicate this episode to all of the badass listeners who have requested a Grace episode over the past year and a half!
